Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by bukatyne(f): 11:27pm On Dec 10, 2024
raumdeuter:
Where does the US get the riches from? The US is currently in debt, Will the citizens agree to increased taxes to care for those social programs like paid parental leave
Reduce defence budget,mind their business, and clean up the current welfare system.

Nigerians pay way less taxes than Americans yet the government can afford 6mths paid mat leave despite the trillions siphoned and the debt owed.

The US Government collects more taxes, do not steal their citizens blind like in Nigeria yet cannot pay 3mths mat leave?

Where do their priorities lie mbok?

I am on mobile and can't structure the replies better. Your wage is dependent on what you negotiate at hiring.


Some women are not really aggressive at negotiation and end up leaving money on the table. As an employer I will not pay you 100k if you say you are okay with 80k. It's just business.
I have been on negotiation table and coached my friends to push harder. I've seen the way men take it and women are not really comfortable pushing that hard because what they are offering is already okay to her. In my small experience some women are okay with non monetized benefits (quality of life things and convenience) while men will ask for the benefit to be monetized

I have seen someone take over 100k less because they will buy her flight tickets and hotel anytime she has to travel to work as she lives out of the state fly into North Dakota twice a month doing a 7 days on, 7 days off schedule. while a guy in the same place simply said give me the money I'll buy my own tickets and hotel. Even when she was told she was like she can't deal with the inconvenience


There was a friend post medical school and residency he got an offer in Arkansas his colleague from medical school a Camerounian got an offer too from the same hospital. Which was base salary plus sign on bonus. The Cameroonian guy signed up immediately as this was over 300k base which is already generous by all standards. My Naija friend who negotiated harder got more he was able to get student loan repayment in addition to the hospital covering his malpractice with tail, up to 105k production and clinical efficiency bonus. The 2 guys will do the same job but get paid differently

Those countries are not America, they do not have 300m people and they are nowhere as prosperous as America. There is a reason why America is the desired destination for majority of the world including people from those countries

The maternity leave thing is also part of taking responsibility for your life and action. If you are a woman you want to have a big family and another woman who doesn't want to have kids. You have to plan with your partner and decide what works best for you. Having children is a personal decision or ambition and there are costs to it which you have to be okay with everything that comes with your decision

The 3 months leave its someone paying for it. If govt mandates it, then will the govt pay employers to keep employees on payroll. And where will the govt get that money from? Govt doesnt pluck money from the sky. Are you okay with increasing your taxes so they can provide 3 months maternity to every woman? Will it be fair to Include those men and women who chose not to have kids to have their taxes increased to pay for maternity leaves for those who chose to

US has the richest and most prosperous individuals because the govt doesn't tax us like in those countries. Will you be okay with paying 50 to 60% taxes to get all these utopia of what and what govt should be doing? Top earners in states like California already pay 37% federal, 13% state which adds up to 50%. Are you okay with an extra 10% making 60% of your total income to pay for these stuffs Democrats want govt to further take on their bloated plates? I am not comfortable with it. I am okay with small govt
@bold:

I disagree.

The US is rich enough to pay her mothers for three months to increase her human resources.

Even Nigeria with all its sshenanigans can 'afford' at least 3 months paid mat leave.

Federal and state governments do 6mths & 4mths with other benefits upon resumption.

Are you sure? How much harder does a company‘s CEO work than the average worker to earn up to 300 times more? How much does the Shell company CEO make compared to those who do the drilling? Are workers compensated for the value they produce? Pulease! Don’t get me even started.

Do you understand how compensations and benefits work?

Do you understand the actual job of a CEO?

So his inlaws will applaud him after injuring their daughter?

Well I don't blame him. The uselessness of some in-laws is enough to give them the audacity.

incogni2o:
you tend to look up to someone as an intellectual,

The person will just suddenly fall your hand with one school of thought.

Look up to God alone for Wisdom.

Why will you ask a lady to retalliate when a Man lays His hands on Her, Does that make any sense?

Firstly, 2 wrongs dont make a right.
Secondly, The Woman likely wouldnt be as strong as the Man
Also, Doesnt it seem right for a Woman to try to quench a fire of anger rather than fanning it ?

In the name of equality, Women are exponentially loosing it.

Men are also becoming more and more weak
I like how the average NL guy's 'two wrongs don't make a right' gives default allowance to the man doing the right.

We should change the saying to 'a woman's retaliation to a man's misbehaviour doesn't make a right'.
Celebrities › Re: Jay Z Accused Of Rape! Beyonce's Mother, Tina Knowles Likes Post On Social Media by bukatyne(f): 2:04pm On Dec 10, 2024
Dogalmighty17:
The matter is very serious. There's a video going around of Jay Z beating up Beyonce and you could see bits of cocaine hanging off her hair. She was high out of her mind. And apparently, Jennifer Lopez liked having groups of men take turns f(uc)king her one after another right there in a room full of people in Diddy's mansion. Ben Affleck got hold of the tapes and Jay lo filed for divorce because according to her, he went snooping and spying on her.

This lady accusing Jay Z of rape has not said which female celebrity was in the room then. It couldn't have been Beyonce as she was 19 at the time. Footage of the VMA after part that year had Jay Z with Mary J Blige, Lil Kim and another unnamed artist.

Whatever it is, there's blood in the water and Diddy will not go down alone. But meanwhile, the world should not forget that the FBI has tapes of Donald Trump raping a 13 year old girl in Jeffrey Epstein's island. That tape has been suppressed because their are also tapes of Prince Andrew, brother to King Charles doing same. If Trumps tape comes out, everyone's tapes will. But black americans, who have never truly belonged to the club of the true elite, will keep being exposed.

Hellisreal70:
" Misbehave" is not for married women that wants to remain in marriage.
A man without a fiance can decide that he will marry within a month, in as much he has the financial capacity he will marry
But a billionaire lady can not do such even within a year.
Culturally and religiously, the husband is the head in marriage there is nothing like equality.
Wokeness and feminism is anti marriage. It is only a catalyst to divorce and baby mamaism.
I married a lady ( graduate professional) that I senior with just 2 months
A marriage that has its foundation on Jesus can never crumble so far the couple' s actions are in line with the bible.
I am not saying the husband should misbehave but I am saying a wife must respect and submit to her husband. And the husband must really love his wife.
I knew I was going to get you cheesy

You are free to have your beliefs and definitions of headship however, leave the Bible out of it.

NOWHERE does the Bible condone male misbehaviour under the guise of headship nor does headship equate the right to 'misbehave'.

The Biblical headship is for men to be godly leaders to their wives BY EXAMPLE and the relationship between Christ and the Church was used as a 'type' of the relationship between a man and his wife.

Can you imagine Jesus 'misbehaving' because He & the Church are not equal? Or Him being 'unrighteous' because He can 'get away' with it?

My brother, do as you will, just leave the Bible out of it.

While I will not debate her worthiness for the office, it is unchristian to say 'gospel minister A is learning work from B' when it comes to such things.

Modified:

I am somewhat aligned with the position that Apostlic ministry is about the people who walked physically with Christ. The only person called an Apostle outside the circle of the physical disciples was Paul. And he saw Jesus on the road to Damascus.

You are more likely to find at least one person in the bride's family who stands for truth. So despite the condemnable action of her family members, I am not surprised the whistleblower is her brother. If tables were turned, a wife wouldn't know when her inlaws help their son marry 2 secret wives.

And maybe the husband can win his wife by his love.

The OP quote is a biased philosophy backed with the manipulation of scripture.

Why read Verse 25 before 22 ??
The instruction is first to the Woman, then the Man.

The Bible is Forever Correct.
Leave the Bible out of your shenanigans.

Even in Biblical order, love from God/Jesus comes before the instruction to obey.

Infact, the instruction to obey is hinged on the love of Christ.
