rich is when you have the financial means to continue living without having to work. aka, the investor class. the national median income is what $50,000? Poor, I would say is below that number. If you have a family. Obviously, it’s all relative. I make $20,000 as a single adult in NYC, that is poor. $20,000 as a…

Yes, thank you for summing this up so well. I’m an urban planner and this economic development strategy of attracting business through incentives has *always* rubbed me the wrong way, since planning school. Somewhat relatedly, I find a lot of otherwise progressive folks who normally critique class inequality, would…

How defeatist and lazy. That’s what’s wrong with the modern America - people would rather just live with systemic corruption and theft than do anything about it.

I hope I win! Or lose? I’m confused.

I don’t see the problem. If companies didn’t already know I was a bad credit risk, they aren’t the kinds of companies I would want to be rejected by!

Dear hackers,

I....don’t necessarily want to sound thirsty, but...Jersey? Kia just opened a new import plant that ate up half my property taxes. Can I hope Amazon eats the other half and not be a bad PERSON?

Now show me on the doll where the white man oppressed you.

Look, maybe if you made a cable TV series that went from entertaining-if-mildly depressing to head-so-far-up-its-own-ass-its-eyes-are-in-its-small-intestine, you too could get away with a misstep like forcing female comics to watch you masturbate in a hotel room here and there.

I’m a mediocre white guy: Where’s my big payout?!

So he invited an asshole fringe guest (which is kind of the point) and he, a comedian, made a tasteless joke. We don’t have to applaud those poor decisions, but come on. There’s nothing significant to be outraged about here. We would all benefit if people weren’t so incredibly touchy all the time.
