They are retaining staff by paying more than most other companies, but they also have a reputation for running their workers into the ground by overworking them. Many burn out pretty quickly.

I’d also be happy to see a Harris/Shapiro (PA gov) ticket.

Biden’s approval rating is about 37%, which is where George H. W. Bush’s was, and he didn’t get re-elected.

I wouldn’t say that I particularly “approve” of Biden, so I’m probably counted in the 63 percent. But I’m still going to vote for him.

Sure, I’d be more excited to vote for Michelle Obama or Josh Shapiro, but I’ll still vote for Joe Biden if he’s the nominee.

The issue with any two party system is that they’ll both fight tooth and nail to keep it that way.

American here. Can confirm.

You’re splitting hairs. Fact of the matter is that Europe is doing a much better job at making higher education available to all.

In Europe the rich also pay for additional education to maximise their offsprings merits. Maybe not to the same degree, but it is there.

Maybe in a few countries like the UK, but expensive private education is not common in continental Europe. The best public universities are tuition free and provide some of the best education in the world. Rich and poor side by side in the auditorium.

More education generally means richer.

Very US-centric take. College education should be part of the general public education system like it is in Europe. It should not be connected to a person’s net worth. In Europe, you go to college based on merits, not wealth.

I also think it’s a very questionable conclusion to say that the more educated people are, the more they vote Republican. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Hence, Republicans have incentive to keep people as dumb as possible.

I often hear conservative family members complain about the public school system and calling for it to be dismantled. To them, the public school system is the reason for every evil the US faces, both on economic issues and social issues. They all listen to a lot of conservative talk radio and happily mix bible quotes and Rush Limbaugh quotes into the same sentence.

There’s literally nothing Donald Trump could do that would make his worshipping voters change their minds about him. They believe anything critical of him is a lie and made up to hurt him politically. I can’t believe how dumb the electorate has become. Must be a general lack of education.

I mean, Americans certainly do seem dumber than the average world citizen, and even dumb enough to go back to Trump, but it’s not because of the debate.

Please send me a link to where you got your Magic 8-ball. I’m very interested in the lottery numbers it might spit out.

How do you know Biden is not going to win? Trump has plenty of skeletons in the closet to turn off independents.

It would be great if the US could join reality with the rest of the developed world at some point. FFS, America. You’re not doing well.

Just a troll. Don’t take the bait.

The article is talking macroeconomics, you’re talking microeconomics. Two different worlds.

Seriously, the US is just embarrassment upon embarrassment upon embarrassment these days.

I hope Biden will take this opportunity as the new king and show Republicans that this is a two-way street.

Independents and moderates are moving between the two equally for different reasons. Plenty of reasons why moderates despise Trump at the moment.

Not gonna happen. Also, the debate won’t make any difference. People made up their minds a long time ago on Biden vs Trump they are clearly not budging no matter what happens with the candidates. Only if they fall over dead will they be replaced.
