Israelis have no choice but to be as many are!
If you were surrounded by enemies, you'd scarcely
be apologetic.

Highjacking??

If I see someone walking down the wrong road, going nowhere fast,
I feel it's my obligation to speak out and speak up before it's too late.
Nothing wrong with that.

News / How will Polish-American relations change if Trump is elected president again? [789]

Dick Cheney made only one right judgement in my recollection; he didn't trust Trump!
Apart from that, he was a rabid, unrepenitent, if soft-spoken, monotone, war hawk, a war criminal, who will go down
in US (if not world) history as the one who told N.O.R.A.D to look the other way on 9/11, thus
allowing the murderous evil of the Trade Towers and Shankville!!

@Joker,
Maybe if you people just put down the hooch and detox a bit,
you'd finally see things as they really are!

This Left shift will come to hurt Trump at the Midterm elections
unless he orders the gov't to be re-opened and darn fast!!
He's always trying to punish the American people, knowing
full well that he's never suffering for even a moment.

@Rich,
If you mean a la the linguist Sausseur, that grammar per se is merely an abstraction which doesn't exist,
a construct which has zilch to do with actual language learning, I wholeheartedly agree.

Language / Why is the Polish language so difficult? [320]

Amen, Milo!

Until Rich is able to laugh in the right spots on "The Bob Newhart Show",
cry at the right moments on "The Walton's" and internalize the difference
between "in offfice" vs. "in THE office", he hasn't truly ingested the spirit
of America...and I don't mean Jack Daniels eitherLOL

Hey, Rich!

Who's on first?

@PolAmKrakow,
My take certainly is well-written, if you or others take
the requisite time to read and understand it!

I quote where necessary, even if I don't highlight.

For the bazillionth time, Polish is no more "difficult" than, say,
English for a monolingual, Mandarin speaker, as but one example!!

Anglophones will surely find Polish a most challenging, to be sure,
intimidating, language at the very outset. However, for Russians, Ukrainians
or other Slavic native speakers, Polish is hardly as much of a stretch as
German, French, Swedish or Dutch, for instance.

That's the usual response, Rich & PolAmKrakow!
When confronted with a well-written, literate, intelligent
response to a ridiculous post, your brains can't handle
the truth, plain and simple.

I pray you'll see wisdom one of these years.

@Rich,

I remind you that proper, grammatically sound, and semantically engaging English is worth knowing,
and not the sort of foul bilge your kind dishes out on a regular basis, like so much sewage, fit only
for the gutter, vulgar, dirty, worthless!

Seems to me you fellas could stand a bit more familiarity with Hollywood black/white classics and far less
with the current crap of movies.

@PolAmKrakow,
Indeed I'm saying precisely that, sir! AI is surely not definitive,
however, it can yield some interesting results, can't it.

To be clear, Charlie Kirk's memory is continuing to influence a vastly misguided,
desperate youth, an infantile mentality which refuses to realize that what's "fair" for
only one social group is often grossly unfair to the rest, e.g. privatizing and eventually getting rid of
Social Security!

If all Americans were automatically independently wealthy and financially self-reliant, then gov't. payments
to millions of retirees would certainly be both superfluous as well as downright wasteful, agreed. While not
unconstitutional, it might conceivably be seen as an unnecessary encumbrance foisted upon the legitimately
gainfully employed population.

Yet, so long as the majority of US employers see fit to randomly exclude, i.e. to semi-retire active, not to mention
fiercely contributive members of the older workforce, Social Security remains a needed lifeline for various senior
workers to allow them to live out the rest of the lives in peace, happiness, and professional contentment.

During the Great Depression, roughly from 1933-1941, the disadvantaged frequently did things which their fathers
would have deemed unthinkable, yea criminal. But in order to survive, at that time without Social Security or gov't help,
even good people were forced by circumstances to do bad things. Don't forget, the New Deal didn't kick in until nearly the
end of the War.

To those who say, "We are where we are by choice", remind them that no normal sentient, non-felon being chooses to miserable,
poverty stricken or without. Plenty of folks receive some sort of helping hand, only probably none of them will admit it.

It seems you aren't aware of the certain job figures just released by Bloomberg!
Job growth in I.T., automotive, robotics are indeed through the roof.
Those non-tech areas such as academia, hospital maintenance, law enforcement,
and hospitality, far below previous job quarters.

@PolAmKrakow,

Fact of the matter is that foreign labor in Poland, Germany,
Britain and of course the US, will by and large be drawn from
cheaper wage countries!

For generations, Poland, Germany, Britain and the United States
survived, to be sure, happily prospered without the need for a cheap wage,
non-native speaking workforce, save for certain specialty areas such
as head chefs for the mega wealthy at posh English estates, naturally
in the fashion industry, for example. In the latter instances, who wouldn't
have jumped at the chance to hire a French cook, an Italian courtier etc..
generally at a most generous rate of pay? Isolated status symbols were not
the order of the day. The rank-and-file citizen were luck if they could afford the
bare necessities or comforts of daily life, much less a high-priced foreign-born
expert.

However here at home under Trump, the labor market for all but the most specialized IT jobs
has squeezed out non-tech workers, except of course for those who've somehow managed
to make a sweet deal with either the local politician(s), the Church/synagogue or some close
family member:-)

Connections have ALWAYS been a part of American life, it's simply that since Reagan, up through Bush
and now during the Trump presidency, they've become not only essential, but absolutely critical. For that
reason, the uncounted number of homeless and displaced, dislocated souls out there on a scale I couldn't have
imagined growing up as I did during the last gasp of the Roosevelt Era.
