What car or truck I choose to drive is absolutely none of your business.

It would have been easier for you to just answer the question.

It’s not confusing me at all. There are a couple of terms missing from your equation, like if you don’t pay teachers you don’t have any teachers. Are you saying you think teachers will work for free, or that you don’t think they’re necessary? All you have to do is make your premises clear.

The suburban voters are not, in general ultra-rich or poor.

You: “Stop it with the race shit.”

Vote splitting is real, but we have a multi-party system and people are free to express themselves at the ballot box (to the extent that three main parties represent choice...) But let’s not let that obscure the depressing reality that 40% of Ontarians saw fit to Doug Ford. It’s the political equivalent of failing an…

Unless they want to pay for schools, hospitals, highways, police, water treatment sewage, etc. directly out of pocket, they’re hurting themselves, yeah. And this should be especially obvious to people directly involved in commerce, who need transportation, a workforce who can read and the courts to keep things…

If you were around at the time this movie came out, you remember a few things:

You’re pretty much right. I retract my hot take.

A look at the electoral map tells us what we need to know: white flight creates densely-populated enclaves of upper-middle-class white shitheads who’ll hurt themselves willingly if it means hurting brown and poor people more.

I’m sure you’ve never overlooked a friend doing something shitty in your life.

whereas someone capable of a full range of emotions might struggle to find the words

Might be a good idea to apply Occam’s razor here. What requires a greater suspension of belief, that a guy who has already proven to be an asshole by keeping the guitar is proving to be an even bigger asshole or that some (admittedly pretty loopy) people planned and attempted an insane kidnapping plot? Like, it’s not…

Anything to keep those rich “not my president” Porsche-driving douchebags from California from driving up the price of property on the West Coast. Yeesh.

This is not a good take. Violence of all kinds is so overwhelmingly committed by men that it makes sense, in general, to consider violence primarily a male problem. That women are capable of the occasional violent crime doesn’t change it (nor do women tend to commit crimes for the same reasons.)

Plus, four hundred and ninety seven dead in O-HI-O isn’t nearly as catchy.

Pekgoz says he once identified as a feminist

If Amazon’s warehouses were to organize, this trifling tax business would cease to be an issue.

He pretty much sums up my entire memory of the 70s. It really was that bad.

“Rich progressive” is a contradiction.
