Sounds like they didn’t fulfill a legal contract. And everybody blaming everything except the people who signed on the dotted line.

LOL, mom busted out the baby pics for every gf. My. Turn.

This is a whole paradigm shift, and it’s not new.

Got me confused. Are you saying these tactics are new or not? I vote for new, mostly, kinda, but both at once. Sorta.

You either understand that climate change is real and the world’s major threat, or you don’t. Who thinks this won hearts and minds? If anything, it turned the fence sitters off.

Watched Beetlejuice with the kids last night. Not as funny as I remember, and they weren’t laughing either.

OTOH, we all thought The Lost Boys was still pretty cool.

Blazing Saddles next?

I’ve tried to say that employee wages aren’t anything close to what one sees on their paycheck. And been buried for it.

Unemployment insurance, worker’s comp insurance, taxes, benefits (even if minor), all adds up to roughly double one’s hourly rate.

Lemmy: “Fuck you! BILLIONAIRES!”

Fine smart ass. Go start and run a business. Be my guest.

No lie. I asked a financial advisor when I was in my late 20s, almost 30-years ago.

“You’re getting your Social Security or there will be riots in the streets. Plan accordingly.”

In 1989 we high school seniors said we wouldn’t get Social Security. We will, no matter what.

Watched a great episode of Paul Santenello’s show where he tours West Virginia. As always, his shows are eye opening, showing us people and places we’ve never encountered before.

WV is a wasteland of poverty due to the collapse of coal. You can imagine how they feel about continuing coal mining. It’s all they’ve known, for 3 generations.

They didn’t try to pivot to any other sort of economy and now they’re buried alive. WV is the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited, bar none. Damned heartbreaking.

And while I’m at it, let me stump for his channel. Take a look at the linked home page. He goes into places most have never seen. East LA, Compton, Appalachia, Mississippi, nowhere does he shy away from the people. He’s as neutral as they come, isn’t afraid to ask hard hitting questions, no sensationalism, just straight investigation and reporting.

Didn’t believe this at first. I’m in the Deep South and I often wondered why there were so few homeless black people when they’re 23% of the population. Had put it down to stronger family bonds, my only guess.

The poster is talking about “households” and “families”, but the numbers are about what I found for individuals. Black population: 13.6%. Black homeless: 40%. Those numbers agree across a wide range of sites I visited. So this is blown up to make a point that’s bad enough with real numbers.

“Racialized housing deprivation”?! What a stupid, made-up word. We already have “systemic racism”. It’s a perfect fit and exactly what’s going on here. If black people had a level playing field in the job market, they’d have money and homes. And that leads to one of my racism stories.

I’m white, total white bread name, something like Brian Collins, middle name is totally “black”. Couldn’t get a job, even postings I was overqualified for. Finally found the issue with my resume. Changed my email to drop the middle name. After a month with zero replies, next week had 3 interviews and 2 offers.

Such as falling whales?

Reminds me of Code of the Lifemaker, where mechanical life evolves on Titan. Seemed oddly plausible when I read it, but it’s been 20+ years. LOL, maybe it was stupid.

Thou shall not covet dovetails nicely with the adultery thing, because somebody was coveting some body.

I only have two ideas:

They’re seeing what they can get away with. Or, and more likely, normalizing more and more aggression in pursuit of seeing what they can get away with.

I’d pump out the MAGA merchandise. I’m talking grift of biblical proportions.

Would you like a cherry on top? After becoming America’s #1 purveyor, I’d go all out telling the world that I got rich suckering rubes.

Good job! Not as big as I had thought, perfectly tasteful size.

Is that supposed to be an impressive array of weapons and ammo? I suppose it is to liberals, but they should raid my safe. At least I have some interesting weapons.

I can tell, from the pixels and having seen some guns in my time, that collection is from some idiot that doesn’t fire them. Ever. This is a pic of “safe queens”, guns they don’t actually use, but buy to make themselves feel tough. The retard mag is my first clue.

So some dumbass has a 3D printer and some simple store-bought guns and the cops proudly shit themselves for taking a pic?!

“We got bullets and everything!”

My embarrassment for them is only outweighed by my disgust for the civil rights violation.

That’s because that’s all it was.

racist white supremacist idea

Oh FFS, if you were young then you also remember All in the Family and The Jeffersons, shows that were in-your-face anti-racist. Prime time was hardly in a mood for racist bullshit.

What if I said the show was racist because it showed white, country people as wide-eyed, stupid hicks? How ridiculous does that sound?

OK, then I choose not to rent. You can go buy a house or rent or live on the street.

Now what?
