Get a wad of $50s and $20s (do not carry it all them on you, separate them singularly). Whenever you’re bored, go to Walmart and look for someone hesitating over every selection or stand at the front looking for people putting things back or only buying food (because other things are not covered by food stamps). Do…

At best. Most of our Canadian Conservatives would be labeled socialist extremists in the US for being okay with gay marriage and similar, and some of the stuff your progressive’s are pushing for would still be a bit right of our moderate party’s platform.

And, just like Covid, it’s not just the deaths that are causing the issue. Those are the super serious ones, but there are tons of instances of excessive force that didn’t end up being lethal and that’s an issue, too. It’s also maybe not using any force at all, but stopping minorities, especially black people, for…

The thing is that it isn’t really about any *particular* wealth range. I live in San Francisco, got a job at the tail end of last year that pays more than well enough that the stimulus isn’t necessary to me, but since I didn’t get hired until late late in the year, I didn’t make enough money to get classed out.

As B’dilliBay said above - it’s a stimulus, so if your family went and spent it on non-essential items it’s still working. 

“It is totally bizarre how much they will just shoot a firehose full of money at businesses and rich people”

Moderate Democrats are conservatives.

There is an actual day though (no clue why or when, but to be fair I never got the point or start of half the days), but people seem to only look it up on International women’s day (I assume being curmudgeons like folks bitching about black history month).

Because of my wife's upbringing, she has an abundance of religious types on her facebook. Normally I don't read anything too out there but I remember one post decrying Frozen as a brainwashing tool because in one of the songs mentioned fractals 

Wait ‘til you try attaching links. Some kinda fun there. 

It’s been like that for a while now. Kinja has been acting up. Did you link something? It’s happened to me every time I tried linking to other pages with the text formatting tools the past couple of weeks.

Check this out.

I think this administration is going to be full of good and boring people.

Which is pretty much what I want, especially after the last one.

But he is Jewish. So he may not know what its like to a person of color, he damn sure know what racism and bigotry means. 

I cannot expect a white man to ‘know’ what’s it’s like to be a Black person or person of color, just as he shouldn’t expect me to know what it’s like to live a do-as-you-want consequence-free life of white privilege. All that I can ask of anyone regardless of the color of their skin, religious choices, education level…

It’s a common misperception that people with good jobs, a decent income, benefits, and a retirement program are all reasonably intelligent. Nothing could be further from the truth.

By my math, this young woman had two children before she was even a legal adult—it’s staggering to think of how profoundly our society failed her and her children, that she had to leave her children alone in a motel to go work a job. It is shameful that this kind of shit is so common.

I think my oldest brother was 8 years old the first time my parents left us home alone. But then I’m a Boomer, and running around unsupervised was pretty much the norm.

Just watch ‘Lassie’ sometime. You’ll see.

It got her surgery paid for, so there’s that.
