I’m so fucking angry. My parents were finally able to afford healthcare for the first time since we lost our house during the housing crisis. ACA obviously has problems, but the solution has never been snatching away healthcare from people who desparately need it.

Ugh. Over the holidays, I was at my parents’ house in New York when Gov. Cuomo was announcing his free tuition plan for SUNY. My mom made a snarky remark to the tune that, “Too bad this wasn’t around when we put our kids through college,” and I flipped on her. They did not put me through college. They paid for my…
As Donald Trump.
Working poor in rural communities face difference challenges than working poor in urban communities, but that doesn’t make them any less poor. These houses are not assets with any value for sale by any reasonable measure - these are houses that barely have electricity and running water. Many still have outhouses,…
I get what you’re saying, but there is a lot of nuance you are missing. There are lots of people in the US who are poor by pretty much any measure, despite owning the house they live in. I’m from a rural area. My home county has about 3,000 residents - the poverty rate hovers around 25%, and 85% of families own their…

Natalie Portman is beautiful but is the most wooden actor of our time. I feel as though she could be made into an armoire.
What we’ve done instead of trying to surround him with what people consider A-listers is we are going to surround him with the soft sensuality of the place. It’s a much more poetic cadence than having a circus-like celebration that’s a coronation,” Barrack said. “That’s the way this president-elect wanted it.
WHY WOULD SENSUALITY EVER BE USED TO DESCRIBE A PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION THAT’S NOT A THING EVEN WHEN WE AREN’T SWEARING IN THE GROSSEST MAN ALIVE.
I don’t find the Clinton example ironic. I think it is correct. And, if Kushner had any relevant experience or expertise, I would not have a problem with this. The issue is not nepotism so much as lack of qualifications. He is as unqualified as a number of Trump appointees- is Bannon more acceptable because he is a…
Yeah - I mean, I’m sure he wasn’t a supporter of each president whose parade he participated in, but clearly this is where he feels his identity lies, in America’s story.
“...it’s an astonishing admission—someone who actually wants to participate in Trump’s inauguration.”
Reminder of context: Donald Glover was raised in the Jehovah’s Witnesses. (I was as well.) Not only is magic in its most literal sense banned, you’re not really allowed to dream big or have fantasies about your future. There’s no wonderment. There’s no delight. Becoming a performer, artist, athlete, or anything else…
Woah she plagiarized Melania too? Ruthless.
Counterpoint: Monica Crowley is an inspirational figure who rose from the South Side of Chicago to become the model she is, today. Her parents urged her on to a better life, noting that, in this country, the only limitations are the scope of your dreams. And hard work. Further, she has lived her life by the motto:…
The stunt, known as the “bullet catch”, debuted in 2010 and consist of Blaine firing a rifle at his own head and catching the bullet in a metal cup inside his mouth.
What’s really cringy are those horrible Michael Kors bags with the door knocker MK medals hanging off them. Lady, that bag is canvas and there is a bin of them at TJ Maxx for $55. Take it down a notch.
lawmakers don’t gaf about anyone unless it affects them personally. reactionary garbage.
We go into it a bit more in this post, but the short version is, yes. You’re technically correct that paying off debt with a higher interest rate will save you more money over the long run. However, human psychology rarely coincides neatly with math. Paying off a small balance on one credit card will be more…
