Relative poverty vs absolute poverty

How does everyone forget to use the "people will just do it anyway" argument for every other law. When do we legalize all drugs because people just do them anyway

When did this all or nothing way of thinking start in American culture? Has it always been like this and I'm just now noticing it, or is it much more prevalent now because it's a side effect of a lack of critical thinking skills

Obligatory fuck psypost. The most click bait, sensationalized headlines for small sample correlational studies that almost always have a divisive basis, like "democrats are better at x than republicans," or "men are better at x than women" or some shit. I got so sick of seeing it on the front page of reddit every single day because there were ten different subs reposting the same articles.

Everything conservatives write sounds like that sovereign citizen tryhard faux legalese. Like there comes a point where trying to be too eloquent just makes you sound fucking dense.

I hope your generation teaches their kids about politics and how it actually affects lives

Would have been great if the generations before us put any effort into that. Let's not put the blame on some kids who thought it would be funny to vote for the moron, when the majority of far right conservative voters are elderly and believe everything they read on Facebook and Fox news.

I hope so. You'd have to be crazy to think like that otherwise.

I've never stayed in an Airbnb and I never will, but I've seen these management companies AirBnB-ing out hotel rooms in Vegas at places like the Rio. It's the same price as going through the actual hotel. You still have to pay the resort fees. You still check in at the front desk.

I literally cannot understand wtf that's about.

Same. The amount of times I've heard "have you tried Proactiv?" as though it wasn't the first thing I went and bought when I was 15 is just aggravating. The fact that not even doctors seem to know much about the internal causes of acne and how to treat it is really just embarrassing.

I've also heard the "change your pillowcase" thing far too often. If your pillowcase is so dirty that it's the one thing that stands between you having acne and not having acne, then it sounds like you might have bigger issues lol.

What

That's like when they tell you to "pound the pavement" and ask to speak to the manager when you bring back your hard copy job application in person. It's hard to even continue a conversation with someone who's that out of touch.

"Nothing happens in god's world by mistake." "God never gives you more than you can handle." Etc etc.

When 1 in 6 women has been sexually assaulted in their lives (and many men and NB folks), that's a really fucked up thing to say. You never know what someone's been through, and I've personally been through a lot of awful things. I guess it helps some people to tell themselves this kind of shit, but it is impossible to me to think of any kind of meaning that would make being a victim of violent crime "positive" or "worth it" or "a learning experience" blah blah blah. I think the term for that is "toxic positivity."

So either "everything happens for a reason" is utter bullshit, or god is a sadistic fucking asshole.

deranged conspiracy theory nonsense

They teach that stuff in business schools because it actually is useful to divide a population like that

Hmm

Yeah, I'm really disappointed in this comment section right now. I had no idea this was something still up for debate.

He has credit and idiots willing to give it to him.

For which they usually use their stocks as collateral, right?

And if you don't think your taxes should go to keeping other people healthy

Kind of funny that the people who are against their tax dollars paying for other people's healthcare are ok with their insurance premiums paying for other people's healthcare. It really shows that it's all about partisanship and propaganda more than anything.

Letters aren't being posted publicly either though

They get their legislation passed, and their judges appointed.

And they have to keep changing the rules at the last minute to do it.

Yeah, because the second amendment is exactly what impoverished people need right now
