The programs are there to be used. Do you pay more taxes than you owe on principle, or do you use every single tax advantage and loophole at your disposal in order to reduce what you owe? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

That has no bearing on whether it will happen for cars or not. Face it, you just want to be santimonious and angry about something, so you’re digging.

Good. He’s going to run, he’s going to win the primary, and you’re going to happily vote for him in the general.

There are plenty of people, including most Jezebel authors, who do not believe that these can mutually held opinions. So many people have gotten so deep into zero-sum identity politics that they refuse to see the obvious lies right in front of them and can rationalize anything for the cause.

Nobody. #MeToo is so slim on examples at this point that we’re basically down to ‘90s alt-country never-was’es and their ancillaries nobody has ever heard of before.

Five people on Twitter care about this non-story. This is meaningless.

Have you ever seen Schumer speak publicly? He pretty much is a walking Jewish stereotype. I know it ain’t popular to say that shit, but it’s true. A dude can’t help his looks and mannerisms, can he?

I feel so incredibly sorry for any reviewer who catches the SNL beat. Why does anybody still do recaps of this horrible show?

It’s probably not the best idea to go hunting around for opinions to shed. I mean, isn’t that a sort of work in and of itself? If you’re scrolling through Twitter looking for opinions not to have anymore, you’re still scrolling through Twitter, which is a fundamentally useless practice. The goal shouldn’t be to attain…

A 46 yr old playmate of mine was talking about a 19 yr old and when I said why stop at 19? What about 18? 17? Thats legal here - it’s 16 in pennsylvania. He guffawed, but didnt know what to say

This whole “satisfying” trend is autism-related, right?

1) Nope. You’re white just like every other Root commenter.

Yeah, that’s the big thing. All these people talk about how you’re a rube if you buy new. But it’s like, if I’m planning on driving the car into the dirt for 10+ years, that’s not a bad deal. Say I pay $500/mo for 4 years. My monthly outlay is $250, amortized over 8 years of ownership. It’s $125 amortized over 16…

Oh god, shut the fuck up. Your rhetoric about “the suffering of real people” proves you’re just another white asshole using the comments here to cape for centrist bullshit. If POC didn’t exist to serve as your little totems of “suffering,” you assholes wouldn’t have a shot at gaining any leverage in arguments, would…

That’s precisely what his election has done. There is now far more of a shot for progressive politics on the horizon than there would have been had Clinton been elected. There are plenty of good reasons to not have wanted our current White House situation to come to pass, but “progressive policies would have a better…

But why would you REPEATEDLY GO ON RECORD AS SAYING YOU DON’T HAVE TO DECLARE A NATIONAL EMERGENCY.

Fuck those people. Heres why: They represent the majority. And what happens when the majority gets fucked by their credit? A bailout. These people will fail, but because theres so many stupid people they’ll all get bailed out. Guess who picks up that tab?

Wage growth (and disparity) is a definitely problem, but people buying stuff they can’t afford is the larger problem (and lenders facilitating bad choices).

Cars keep getting more expensive, the amount of money/loan payments are going to keep getting more expensive.

What Amazon was really trying to do with HQ2 was see if they could bring the economic-desperation-level employment reality to a major, thriving American city. It’s one thing to build factories and distribution centers that work people like dogs in bumfuck towns and fourth-tier cities. Amazon wanted to see if it was…
