Its a viable strategy.

Get a career going in a blue state when you’ve got supports to help you make it.

Make a good amount of money, or get a decent wage/salary.

Then transfer that all to a lower cost area to rest on your laurels and skip out on having to pay into support for the next generation.

Its a perfectly conservative thing to do, pulling up the ladder after you’ve succeeded with it.

I don’t know for sure, but I imagine settling out of court, specifically avoids setting a precedent. Which in this case means if they want to run it, they’d not have the precedent to protect them, but also have to choose settling, or paying to fight an overtly partisan court system right up to the supreme court.

They’ve capitulated enough for us to know that was never going to be N option.

No network is going to do more to draw the attention of the administration, than allow late night hosts to make jokes about him, and even that isn’t going to last much longer I expect.

Even better: the pizza dude and the handler are both on the take, and its how they get the drugs through security.

He does care about the law, just in the conservative way.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Covid 19 has fever as a symptom,

Thats at least one causal link.

I’m going to take all the sacrifices my parents made to help ensure I have a successful life.

I’m going to have no problem getting a great job with, or without education.

I’m going to get into the housing market on a basic salary no problem.

I’m going to bring kids into this world, and make sure they earn their own way.

I’m going to shame them into leaving home as early as possible, make them rent for most of their life and wonder why they don’t buy a house so they can make money on their investments.

Oh, by the way, i’ll make a ton more money on other peoples kids paying my second, third investment properties mortgage off with their rent.

Then i’ll live a glorious retirement, fully aware that my kids retirement is probably not going to happen ever.

I think that is a tough one. As long as we accept the value of a thing is what people are willing to pay for it, the prices will always climb.

For essential products and services, the value should be based only on the effort required to provide or produce it.

The main reason we’re dealing with our current inflation has everything to do with the amount of cash flowing upwards from the working class to the boardroom and shareholders.

The prices are going up on essential items because people can’t afford to not buy gas, or not eat, or not rent. They need those to stay employable, and they slowly sacrificed everything else to keep those. So the price goes up, and people keep buying it, telling the heartless corporations that they can raise the prices more.

Now we have significant portions of the population using short term loans or payment plans to buy their next weeks groceries.

I think the idea is if you’re guaranteed a subsistence pay, then you are free to devote your time to creating something. Art, a business, a community, whatever that makes your life meaningful, rather than devoting 90% of your time working for someone elses profit, travelling to work, resting to be able to work, and eating to continue to work.

You want to talk about bare subsistence, that is what most people are doing now in terms of time as a resource.

The problems the US faces don’t die with him.

Unless you use that 6 seconds to work with the ref to rewrite the rules of the game such that passing the ball to a second quarterback resets the time, along with a bunch of other rule changes.

Give it a month and a handful of these ‘kids’ are getting cushy appointments, and speaking fees on the far right media circuit.

“After two years of…” Clearly means all of the suffering occurring in the last two years.

Yeah, of course. But only one one can best.

Peaceful protests are vulnerable to being incited to violence.

And in late stage capitalism, government is only listening to capital holders. Money speaks way louder to capital holders than the inconvenience of a protest.

General strike is way more effective

The problem isn’t the student loans per se, its that the principle has been paid off many times over and somehow moat people own many times more in interest.

Forgiving imaginary debt is not the same as paying off someones bad debt.

Not a right wing nut.

I think some of his best work is in Arrested Development.

Not too sure how to help, but I did want to say sports communities were the first ones i blocked from my feed, it’s tough when they get spammy, and risk of spoilers are too high.

That being said, it’s been a hell of a fun season to watch them play. Pretty neat seeing how much real fun they seemed to have almost every game.

I think Steven Miller is pulling a lot of the strings.

Early on in the presidency he was reported as the guy basically first and last to be with trump each day.

But in your scenario, that was exactly where you needed a new cable, even though you had the right one before then.

So if your monitor came with 2 cables and your gpu came with 2 cables, thats 4 cables instead of 3.
