Reality check: When you’re already broke, an extra $365 over the course of a year isn’t going to change your entire station in life.

Spoiler alert: It’s my goddamn parents, and the house is where I live.

I’m never going to be rich, I’m never going to retire, I probably won’t live that long, and I can’t take money with me when I die.

Jesus, that’s a terrible decision.

“Just stomp on your brakes and stop as fast as possible if you get in trouble, you can’t be held at fault if someone else hits you”.

Okay.

Oh, there’s definitely an emotional component.

20% of your first “real job” income in a 401k...yeah, if your uncle pulls some strings to get you hired at the brokerage firm, maybe.

I don’t think most people make a reasoned, logical decision regarding when to retire that takes all factors into account to maximize return.

As bad as saying “whatever, you’re on your own losers” sounds, I can’t conceive of a US intervention making anything better instead of worse.

They got two human babies to worry about now. The situation is not going to improve. It pretty much is down to adopting the dogs yourself or reporting them. Though, IMO, things will probably have to get worse before animal control or any other agency will commit the resources to taking them.

The American drug market is the problem. It’s why the cartels exist. It’s why the cartels have the money and power to hijack the Mexican government. It’s why they can rampage around the country, killing at random.

Instead of taking five minutes to deal with it, he decided to complain about white people and farm attention for himself. Good neighbor.

Really enjoying this system where access to healthcare is conditioned on who can come up with the best viral narrative.

So...you want us to invade Mexico, force regime change, and occupy the country until we’ve hunted down and exterminated all the cartels? They aren’t going to fix themselves, because the violence and corruption is highly beneficial to the people in power.

What if I told you “retirement” could actually be living in a cardboard box down by the river?

It’s easy: Be born into money and privilege, use that money and privilege to jump the line, enjoy a life of more money and more privilege.
