Sorry but I don’t agree. Not everyone has an office and with workplaces increasingly moving to open-palm workplaces, a crying or fussy baby would be one more noisy distraction to everyone else at work. Babies don’t belong at work. I think a more feasible solution is reasonable maternity leave (which should never be…

Because it makes them feel like they’re doing better when the people below them do worse.  Their own position doesn’t actually change, but the gap gets bigger.  So they’ll act like they’ve got it all figured out, they’ll lick the boots of the people who actually hold the wealth and the power, and they’ll sneer at the…

Let’s walk through the logic tree.

It’s also possible that there is less sexual assault in the Netherlands, but that because they’re taught about consent earlier, they report it more often, and it’s taken more seriously.

The main thing ive done to prep for hte upcoming, next Great Recession is sell my house in a high cost area and buy a much cheaper house in a much cheaper part of the country. My gf got a job here and my company was kind enough to let me work remotely for the most part.

Hamilton is fucking with you in this post.

Yeah, if you’re in a position to ride it out, that’s great. At worst you deal with a lower net worth for a few years, at best you pick up some assets on the cheap.

According to my inside source, this years government report on orange crops is going to say they were hard hit by cold temperatures and is going to be very bad. So it’d be a smart idea to sink everything you have into OJ futures.

So when the market tanks, your investments don’t actually disappear; they’re just worth a little bit less than they used to be if you were to sell them at that moment. Presuming you invest in a diverse index fund or the S&P 500 or something, you should probably just wait it out for the economy to recover, even buy a…
