Laura Loomer is kind of mad because she sucked the wrong dick for influence.

This is the sort of fundamentally misogynistic comment I'd expect to hear from a Trump supporter. She's not a "whore" just because she's a vocal, visible and yes, you could even say "successful" woman.

She very likely did not sleep her way to where ever in MAGA-land this is. She got to be a despicable human all on her own.

Edit: Listen to yourselves. It helps when the subject isn't a garbage human. Pretend it's your mother. "She just slept her way to success"

"Investigative Journalist"

Ha ha ha ha.

You know what drives me nuts? People who post Youtube links without even bothering to add the title of the video. I ain't clickin' on that shit bro

I'm not so sure. He's white and male.

And very old.

Even many poor, working class people of that age own their homes after all.

It's not JUST that houses were cheaper. It's also that they've had the >= 30 years of working to pay off their mortgage.

So I'm gonna push back on this notion that quality boots that last a long time are even close to this price.

Red Wings are typically $180-270. I have a friend who does resoles and charges around $100-120. I've heard folks get their boots resoled every 2-3 years or so. Don't know if that's typical. So assuming a "lifetime" is 20 years and you resole 5 times in that period, you are looking at around $200+$500 minimum, not even accounting for inflation. Big difference.

I've never owned Red Wings - I will check them out but I note they do not make chelsea/chukka steel toe work boots in appropriate sizes. I wear Blundstone 990s because they are unisex, not too expensive and are pretty bomb proof.

They cannot be resoled but I find since I wear them for work I wear the sole and leather at about the same rate anyway and they typically will last me 3-4 years.

tl;dr I don't think $100 "lifetime" boots exist, even behind magical mirrors.

Where can I get these lifetime boots for $100?

You sound like someone who doesn't really have a point but needs to argue for the sake of arguing. Maybe you can yell at yourself in a mirror - I'm sure it will be more entertaining.

Edit: And to be clear... I wrote something in my prior comment that most people would interpret as wrong without some qualification or context. I decided to leave it partly out of laziness and partly to see if you would catch it and how. But instead of digging in you are just being confrontational.

Indeed. And worse, wealthy get a discount on everything - an obvious example being that f you have lots of money you don't need to get a car loan or even a mortgage. More likely you are the one, indirectly, making the loans and earning interest for the huge effort you expended being wealthy.

1. COVID-19 spreads more quickly - it is more contagious and is contagious for longer than the flu.
2. Severe illness is more frequent than the flu.
3. Long-term effects are far more prevalent and far more severe with COVID.
4. The ability for a coronavirus to mutate into a variant that is far more contagious and/or far more severe is much higher.
5. The death rate for the flu is dramatically lower - 1.8 / 100k population than COVID with around a 240-300 deaths per 100k population. More than 1 million people have died from COVID in the US alone vs around 4-6000 per year from the Flu.
6. People do in fact care about the flu spiking in winter. That's why vaccines are promoted as much as they are.

Low prices AND low value. The cheap ass shit they sell is intended to break and be replaced as quickly as possible. E.g. cheap clothes that wear out quickly. Those who can't afford better are thus trapped in a cycle of repeat buying.

Until it doesn't.

What doesn't kill you mutates and tries again.

Actually women have superior rights during divorce, in the western world anyway. Try to keep the children as a man during divorce.
