But a builder doesn't go to university/college

(Sorry Aussie here, education system is different here)

It's the phenomenon that Bret Weinstein calls "academic laundering"

Or the empower has no clothes 😛

Builder? You mean someone who works in construction?

Or do you mean a civil engineer?

1st one

architect, carpenter, mason, welder

Person A starts with a conclusion, and fits the results of their 'study' to support it, then publishes the paper in a journal.

Person B does the same thing, but then cites Person A as a supporting "study" lending credence to their conclusion.

Now you have a "legitimate" study being passed around as fact.

Construction people in Aus are super well paid as well

You wanna be rich here? Be a plumber

Stupidly well paid

How well paid?

Middle class?

Upper middle at least

6 figures in the states if you're a unionized Master plumber

Ah

The trades pay pretty well here

You're getting at least middle class pay

Yep

It's good (usually ) honest work

"We got the Democrats on X Y Z Crime this time!" is equivalent to "We got Drumpf this time!"

Democrats don't pay for crime, this is a law of nature

Keith Ellison is doing just fine

With a conservitive judiciary they might for once

and as the old immunity the democrats did have is gone we can hope they go for the jugular

They just have to be smart about it.

Democratic Senate seats up in 2018: 26

GOP Senate seats up in 2018: 6

I feel like this fact should be brought up during any analysis of how the Senate played out because it's kind of important
I mean, this is relevant to so many hot takes. "BUT THE DEMOCRATS WON THE POPULAR VOTE HOW DID THEY LOSE SENATE SEATS"

Winning more votes in the Senate but losing seats is exactly what you'd expect when defending 4 times more seats than your opponent
I guess technically the GOP was 9 seats because of retirements, but that still means the Democrats were defending 3 times as many seats as the Republicans. It was an extremely rough Senate map and I don't think messaging caused the losses

the "won the popular vote" line they are touting is utter tard

the number they are harping on is the total numer of voted the dems got NATIONALY
