    I grew up in Wisconsin when McCarthy was the REPUBLICAN Senator. He left a smell like a pile of reeking cheese curds across the state. Unfortunately some of that stench still lingers across the state, particularly in those Milwaukee suburbs populated by right-wing bigots who fled the city to escape an increasingly diverse and progressive population.

    I have family in Wisconsin. I became real worried when Ryan got elected to Congress. I saw the trend way down the pike.

    In a corporate command economy you have no choice, because the supplier is the only choice you have. In true capitalism, the power of the dollar rules and sets the price. When the Fascist government allows the crony businessmen to control supply and prices, the buyer is no longer benefiting from capitalism.

    You must be white or maybe not paying attention at the time of sale.

    I also have family in Wisconsin. They have the finest government can buy....paid for by the Koch brothers, the Johnson wax dynasty, and wealthy building material families. Walker, Sen Johnson and others have been only happy to oblige.

    I doubt you could convince anyone with that claim.

    I worked for that orange trucking company nearly 40 years ago. You must know who I am talking about. They were out of Green Bay. The family own a lot of related stuff, like their own 800 telephone company and link to satellite service. They were one of the first trucking companies to have on-board truck-sat dispatch services. They were also a re-nouned union busting outfit. They believed in very low wages for guy starting out in the business. I was an owner/operator and got OK money for my truck. I remember they hired something like 450 Chinese immigrants who ended up hitting lots of low underpasses in Chicago. That turned out to be a failed social/business experiment. They had enough country boys in Wisconsin. I never knew why they decided to bring in outsiders. Green Bay was super nice back then in the eighties. There were a bunch of great neighborhood bars with live music. My family lives up in the thumb near Washburn and Ashland.

    I never told you they ripped me off. I told you that I observed the method of the rip off. Republican businessmen are generally dishonest so I do pay attention when interacting with the dishonorable jerks.

    so you simply look at people and draw conclusions that this individual is white and a supremacist? Ok! Lol Sounds like McCarthy to me.

    Insensitive people don’t exist on the left? You have shown yourself to be Extremely insensitive to my native ethnicity, want to share your forked tongue comment again as well as other highly insensitive and judgementAl statements?

    I Do not stand for the very same thing as the KKK? Nope, another false statement.

    1) I never said insensitive do not exist on the Left. I don't know why you fished that out, unless you want to stereo type me? 2) Why do you attack my forked tongue? I had it customized after my Metis Canadian girl friend requested it.

    In true capitalism, there is no fascist government to allow the crony businessman to control the supply and prices; the market sets all the prices and supplies.

    You're arguing AGAINST a command style economy (marxism) and you don't even realize it :D

    You are the one who fails to understand. In a true capitalist free market the buyer like me would get a fair buy based on the law or supply and demand. In your Republican warped system which only masquerades as free market capitalism the Republican mucky mucks let the big corporations manipulate the supply to jack up the price of what I want to buy. THAT is not a free market. THAT is a corporate command economy.

    Yes that’s basically what I said. Are you a free market capitalist now?
    One of many reasons I’m not a die hard republican. Many of them are part of the swamp. I agree there is a revolving door between corporations and government. Politicians of both parties write regulations that favor their corporate sponsors.

    Glad you finally admit that this is not free market economics

    I worked in a truck stop in Oshkosh in the fall of 63 and I knew Schneider well. They had a reputation for not allowing their drivers to take bennies or carry dummy log books. Sorry to learn they were anti- union. My wife to be and I were living in Bayfield county in the summer of1966 and got our marriage license in Washburn, WI. Spent Memorial Day of 1965 camped on the beach east of Cornucopia.

    That doesn’t make it north of it. Your attempts to make me look stupid fail. North of the arctic circle. Are you saying you met a person, 1 who is Inuit, north of the arctic circle and That you were in Canada? Was this Inuit You met out hunting for seals alone north of the arctic circle? Or was he wealthy enough to fly to your local? Nice try. You know what rhymes with try?

    FYI approx 100k people in Canada live in the arctic within Canada’s borders. 80k of those are Inuit.

    There above is a map for you. The odds of meeting one living North of the arctic circle is zero, pretty much.

    furthermore the Cape Columbia, Ellesmere Island, Nunavut is the northernmost point of land of Canada, It is the westernmost coastal point of Lincoln Sea in the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's northernmost point of land outside Greenland and the distance to the North Pole is 769 km
