Forget mommy and daddy’s house. Look at the universities these people go to. Sorority houses at Bama look like the goddamn Bellagio in Vegas.
I don’t like to blame women for societal issues. But this is absolutely on them. I can live a spartan life, but my wife be like, “I’m not livin in no cave”. Spoiled brat.
And Canada is gonna be the 51st state. Haha.Amazing you skip 4 days of politics, you are 40-50 stories behind. I ain't going read all of them. All I know in the last few days is Biden pardoned is son and Mark Stoops got embarrassed.

You’re not wrong.It is very easy to have this mindset, wash your hands of the situation, and never think of it again.
Let's pretend that you are a 26 year old living in Wayne county. All the houseboat factories shut down in 2008 and Beldens moved operations to Mexico in 2016. You spend years working at Walmart (biggest employer) at 32 hours a week (to avoid paying for insurance and what not). You finally make the change and begin work at the Tyson plant in Albany making 15 an hour. You're finally able to work full time and bring home 845 bucks a paycheck. Girlfriend works there too and brings home the same amount. Insurance eats 245 of each paycheck so the two of you bring home 2,400 a month.
Girlfriend has 17k worth of student loans when she went to cosmetology school at campbellsville. That’s 200 dollar a month.
Two cricket phone bills total 90 a month.
Gas to and from work is 75 a week or 300 a month.
Rent is 600 a month.
So that 2400 is already down to 1,210.
Food per week is 150 and this includes eating out. So another 600.
Internet and cable is another 120.
down to 490 and now the utilities are due. Electric is 130 and water is another 40
So all of this leaves you with 320 bucks. This doesn’t account for entertainment or a car payment. These guys are lucky in that the cars are paid for, but Cody drives a 2005 pathfinder that has 195,000 miles and Katie drives an 07 mustang that has 200,000+ miles. Insurance for both is another 150 for minimum coverage and these guys are left with 170 dollars.
God forbid if they have to have a medical procedure done, car issues arise, and you see quickly why 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Good. Didn't like that guy.Florida Sheriff Chad Chronister withdraws as Trump's nominee to lead DEA

Here we go….Bigger enemy of the working class are people who downplay their struggles and side with the billionaire class. The collective majority would be much better off uniting and taking back the wealth that has been stolen from us.
100%You’re not wrong.
I’d submit to you though that both of these folks could go find training in a trade and do better.
Haha. Just trying to challenge the status quo around here. I can also say that because there’s 0 percent chance this happens in the near future.Here we go….
Student loans for cosmetology - that's a DECISION. That's not COL.It is very easy to have this mindset, wash your hands of the situation, and never think of it again.

That's crazy. No matter who you are, no matter how squeaky clean you are, the left will always vilify you. Case in point, Donald Trump, the squeakiest-clean president in history, so clean they had to manufacture crimes against him. That didn't work so they tried to kill him. Don't kid yourself, they'll try to destroy Vance any way they can. Best strategy is to crush them all now and let God sort it out later. Just do the right things and work on Voter ID. Everything else will work out the way it's supposed to.He needs to stay distant from the lead and just be informed. That way, when time comes at the end of his presidency, Vance cannot be vilified by the left when he runs for president. He can simply say that we (him and Trump) were not directly involved to avoid the mess Biden and Kamala created for themselves by weaponizing the DOJ against Trump. Remain distant from the whole thing.
What’s going on in South Korea?
Sounds like Parliament is being told to go blow itself. Now it comes down to who the police and ROK soldiers decide to follow. Things could get really messy over there really quick.President declared martial law over economic tensions and fear of NK invasion. The parliament just voted to make the Pres rescind the martial law declaration.

Yeah, your wife is Mike Tyson, you’re gay.
If you are referring to the proposal to do away with daylight savings time changes, there is a fair amount of medical research that shows significant increases in risk of myocardial infarction among the general population during the week following the spring time change when an hour is "lost," while there is very little to no change in risk during the week following the fall time change when everyone gets an "extra" hour of sleep. So there are some arguments for gaining tangible benefits by doing away with this time change practice. I don't know how much extra it costs Medicare when/if there are substantial increases in people heading to the ER and cath lab with heart attacks, but there could be savings to capture.^ What's the money in this?
I teach 8th grade and my wife is a HS counselor and the destigmatization of vocational jobs instead of college/universities has been awesome. Lots of dumb 18 year olds (myself included) were sent to universities before they are ready. CC and vocational is such a smart and practical second option.My advice would be go rt down the road to Somerset CC and get two year degrees in a trade that will at least double if not triple their income. Healthcare, mechanics, electrical etc something where there is always a need and not locked in geographically. Cosmetology at a liberal arts private school? Really??
Cut the cable, the entertainment, and the eating out. Suck it up snd be miserable for two years instead of struggling the rest of their lives. The two years will fly by and both will have market value rest of their lives and anywhere they want to live.
From your text, I can tell you are an intelligent person. Very rigid, though. I think you have good and well thought out ideas, but with all this slashing, how are we going to afford hospitals, schools, and etc.?
One of my granddaughters is in a sorority at Bama. My God....I couldn't believe their 'house'. Absolutely beautiful and 5 star.Forget mommy and daddy’s house. Look at the universities these people go to. Sorority houses at Bama look like the goddamn Bellagio in Vegas.

I'm finished answering your questions. You clearly lack the inability to think for yourself and I'm not interested in reading any more of your insults. I don't believe you're trying to learn anything here. It's more likely that you're being patronizing and the way you keep demanding answers is off-putting. You're not my professor and I'm not turning in a paper. Get smarter or get bent, IDGAF. I'm not wasting any more of my intelligence on a closed-minded person like yourself.I teach 8th grade and my wife is a HS counselor and the destigmatization of vocational jobs instead of college/universities has been awesome.

There he goes, hurling the smiley emoji just like a jackass lefty. Not interested in learning anything, guys.I'm finished answering your questions.

FYI "and etc.?" is SUUUUUCH a lazy way to write and a CLEAR TELL that you're really not interested in the answer. It shows you lack intelligence and inquisitiveness, and most importantly, honesty.
I just enjoy the vitriol. Like the insults sprinkled in crack me up. Not trying to patronize. I think you say some valid things. I just think cutting federal down to the bone can have unattended consequences.There he goes, hurling the smiley emoji just like a jackass lefty. Not interested in learning anything, guys.
1. You have proven you are as ignorant as Econ Dion, Celine they say...wealth gap should absolutely shrink. I’ll link federal reserve, but the top 1 percent in this country own 93% of the market. The bottom 50% own 1 percent.
Three reasons this should change:
American dream is dead for people 40 and under in many parts of the US. Look at Simpson’s. In 1989, Homer was able to support his family of 5 on his salary. Nowadays, it requires both parents to work. Houses are smaller are more cheaply built, and it is harder to support more than a child or two.
Glut of wealth has allowed companies to purchase many things to bottleneck supplies and exponentially raise prices. There’s one company in Toronto that owns 75k starter homes in the US. Most are used as rent or VRBO. I was lucky enough to buy my first home in 2017 for 120k. 26 year olds now have to spend nearly double that for a house.
Finally, wealth buys power. The more wealth you have, the more influence you have. With the bottom 50% scrounging to survive, we’re seeing more policies that are designed to give these people more power and influence while the bottom continues to struggle.
2. Again, you sound just like Econ Dion. But we have the first system you articulate.No, I don’t think people should have to work 2-3 jobs to support the poorest, I don’t want the system Saudi Arabia has. I also don’t want a system where a person can own 10 homes that lay vacant long chunks of the year while people are forced to move back home to make ends meet.
