Just got laid off from a refinery job after 10 years. Was a welding inspector, luckily I saved some money but my point is I have a lot of time on my hands and have been on the internet more. Been a self described socialist for about 15 years and am looking for a "safer" place to rationally discuss economics/politics. Have been on youtube for the last two weeks and it's almost driven me to abject misanthropy. Not a healthy place for discussion. Anyhow, hello.

Welcome :)

If you have political questions, you can ask them in the Learning forum. That's why it's there after all!

If you have questions about your account, don't hesitate to send me a PM or ask here.

Sorry to hear about your job loss. I hope you'll get another one soon enough. And yes, Youtube attracts the filth of the Earth for some reason.

Ya, why don't my posts show up? I guess I also tried to post a link in a thread concerning race realism but I couldn't do so. It's a journal that took on the silly notion that IQ is genetic. Anyway, thanks in advance.

Your first 10 post have to be approved by a moderator before coming online.

When your postcount is under the ten posts, all posts are moderated. This is to deter trolls and spambots. All posts in the non-political sections aren't counted towards your postcount (the indicator in the upper right of your posts), so posts outside these non-political forums to get to the ten :)

As for links, I believe that barrier is still a bit higher: You need at least 25 posts for posting those.

Turnarounds working 18 hour days for 2 months at a time. Ya, I have have more time now ;). Like time to eat, sleep and socialize. Should be back to work in a month or two. It's the nature of what I do. Doubletime and per diem added up so dont feel bad for me. Feel bad for the workers who have to struggle on minimum wage jobs where a temporary or permenant lay off means homelessness and destitution. I'll be OK. Thank you though.
