The issue is that for a lot of people it was the only affordable place, and now it's not.

I don't eat McDonald's or really any fast food. The last time I got fast food was a burger King after a 12 hour hike where I got a bit turned around in the woods and ended up getting out three hours after I planned and my regular go to on the way home was closed. The time before that was probably back when I was in college

But there are people who eat it almost every day. Not because they want to, but because it's the only thing they can afford to eat. That being taken away is shocking. Especially paying 18 dollars for a burger fries and drink? At McDonald's quality?

I used to live in the city and then moved out because rent is 4500 a month for a one bedroom and I don't feel like spending around 50k a year on housing for a small little rathole, especially when my salary cannot bear that

Also, now I'm not in the city, I have parks and trails and farms all right near me and I feel way healthier

I thought this was just me but I swear this is so fucking annoying

Completely unnecessary filler space

I'm refusing to honestly Even with the new saver plan or whatever it's called you don't save any money. Yeah the monthly payments go down but you end up paying almost 20k more through interest over a longer time. That's not saving

I'm pretty sure this is photoshopped because nothing in the picture actually seems to match or be sitting on the ground in any believable way

Rent went up 7 percent this year across my state, and it's already out of control to the point people are paying 4500 a month for a tiny one bedroom in the main city.

Don't think everyone getting a thousand extra bucks is going to change that drastically. And anyway, if landlords do do that, put in a rent cap in addition.

I don't think it's that simple, especially for people of colour, and especially for those with Arab and especially Palestinian heritage.

America hasn't been great to us ever. Since 2001 it has gotten distinctly worse for us.

A lot of us have family who are being or have been bombed by the US indiscriminately. The US and Joe Biden is funding a genocide. That's not made up. That's not a joke. The US is more upset that the Houthis raised global shipping by a couple percent than they are that the ally that they give the most money to has killed north of 25000 defenseless people in three months.

I agree that voting for trump is going to make it worse for everyone, which is why I will still vote for Biden. But I voted begrudgingly for him last time, because I knew he was fake, and not really liberal. He hasn't stood by a single campaign promise he made. If a legitimate, liberal, left wing third party came up, I would vote for them immediately. Choosing between one racist piece of shit and a more racist, more orange piece of shit is not a great choice.

Again, I agree that trump would be a million times worse for brown and black people. But I get why a lot of Arab Americans and black Americans are fucking tired of it, and want to make a point to the DNC. That same party that is not a left wing party or a liberal party, that is completely bought out by corporations (ex. See how they fucked Bernie in 2016), and that will turn around and blame brown and black voters for not delivering them the white house when literally over half.of white women and white men want Donald Trump.

A lot of the people I've spoken to now are done. This was never really our country and politicians have made it even more obvious that it isn't. So the idea that a lot of people have now is "well fuck it, why should we vote to save this country when the people who run this country keep.fucking it up and especially fucking us over. It's time for whitey to do his/her part if they actually care, and if they don't fuck it, we will leave"

It's not about growing up, it's about being tired of being second or third class citizens. The only reason this is getting such a big shout-out now is because the policies are finally starting to affect white people, white women in particular. And yet somehow.still over half of them want trump in.

If half the people in the country are too fucking dumb to understand basic level stuff, we just gotta go to playground insults

That's the level of education we've got going on here. If it works to get a fascist out, fantastic. On the other hand, the Democrats are, in the end, no damn different from the Republicans. A bunch of racist old white people who don't actually care as long as they get their money. Both parties should be taken out and this should be more than a two party system

I'm having a weird issue now where I can't view any other instances other than my main one and it's kinda annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this?

One YouTube video is proof for you?

Mate I've got a seaside cottage in the middle of the Sahara id love to give you

Yeah lol bin laden made very clear why he was attacking the states

A long military operation is obviously not warranted

Did you geniuses see what happened after the US launched it's long military operation?

They definitely destroyed terrorism in that war. Taliban and al quaeda no longer exist, and Isis never came to power right? Oh shit wait...

It's like trying to kill an ideology by bombing innocent people has never ever worked

This isn't about efficiency - if they were just digitizing it that would be fine. Getting rid of the originals in addition is a recipe for disaster

If you can't do 2 miles a day you are nowhere even close to the realm of a healthy person. Like not even within a 100 miles of healthy

If you're not doing it getting a giant bonus would be a good motivator to go out

One mile a day is really really easy to do. Jogging or walking. If you can't do that then quite honestly you're not in any sort of good shape.

62 miles a month is slightly over a mile a day. If you're not walking at least a mile a day you are doing your body a massive disservice

Why not if this is both easy to do and a benefit for your own health?

I'm guessing China has far better insurance than the US and you don't pay nearly as much for doctors or operations there

Why are you so angry in every comment?

I mean being active anyway is a good thing for you And if the bonus is 30% of your monthly salary each month to do a bare minimum of movement that sounds like easy money

There was literally an article three days ago on the BBC that showed that the IDF did exactly that.

The IDF has been lying this entire time - a bunch of the casualties from the October 7th attack were caused by the IDF themselves.

You just ruined a perfectly good turtle
