Yeah, that lawmaker sure is someTing.

Nice narrative. This depresses wages all across the board. Supply and demand. If there are more workers than positions available, then wages will go to whoever will accept that lower income. This is so simple of economics, that I don’t think I can trust anything you say if you cannot understand it.

I’m pretty open around here with my alcoholism, and I was a binge drinker prone to blackouts for many years.

Even in what you propose, one can move. One can’t do better than a shitty job, I grant you. But one can actually up and move from one state and be poor to another state and be poor. There is no law tying them to the land. There is no implicit thing doing it. Greyhound bus tickets are super cheap, for example.

Honest to God, I suggest the following for everyone:

I am not going to debate the merits of the Cash for Clunkers program, but the program did stipulate that the traded in car had to get a combine city/hwy MPG of 18. I don’t think the Camry wagon would have qualified with a current official combined rating of 21mpg.

I don’t have to answer to you. I don’t have to answer to anybody.

I read a lot of your replies from further up in this stream and started to think you are just a whiny fucking prick. Then I read this reply, and I know you are just a whiny fucking prick.

+1 That’s Gould, Jerry! Gould!

Revenge is a dish best served Gould.

If enough people shared your view, I’m sure they’d stop.

“Fuck you!”

Name me one character on The Simpsons that isn’t a “caricature.”

“My film was meant to tell you to go fuck yourself & discuss why I want you to go fuck yourself.”

Arguably, they could have chosen a career that wasn’t—as it essentially has been since Hollywood’s infancy—been predicated on selling their bodies. I mean—in the case of Weinstein these women were chasing a dream of a multi-millions of dollars per picture (or at least many hundreds of thousands) and a lifestyle that…

Explaining to a white person in general that there are places that they cannot and should not go along with things that they should not do is like speaking to them in Mandarin. PoCs learn this early in life. There are just places we shouldn’t go. There are systems we shouldn’t interact with. There are simply things we…

I totally agree. What makes this situation a little different in my eyes is Weinstein’s reputation and the fact that Anderson actually provided a reasonable solution by suggesting that they take someone along.

Don’t fear giving your opinion because of idiots. We need people with different perspectives. It’s just a pity there are so few people out there calm, rational, and intelligent enough, to engage in a conversation were both sides make the effort to understand their opposites point of view.

Yes, but unlike the usual, she was probably already fabulously wealthy and could have supported the child on her own. And she could have milked him for some sweet child support and alimony payments. So it’s unclear to me why she’d agree to stay and raise her kid in an environment that she herself had described as…

Well, it’s like their Patriot forebears build this country and it’s instructions via the sweat off their noble brows, hard work, cunning and a lot of
