that’s not it. these insane valuations come from two possible things:

I suspect GM will get their revenge when they continue with their relatively rational and competent product rollout over the next decade and the vaporware companies begin to fall by the roadside as few or none of them end up delivering on their lofty promises.

Why in the world would a poor-ish person be in the market for a new car in the first place? You want cheap cars? Craigslist is a veritable gold mine. You want cheaper cars? Check the used car lots. You want cheapish cars? Go peruse the back of a dealer lot.

They are considered Asian Hispanic. They were a separate culture and race from the rest of Asai until the Spanish did the “dont mind us, we are just colonizing” thing. It is the infusion if Spanish culture, foods, and language into theirs that makes distinction.

IMO one of the biggest intraparty challenges for Democrats will be the tension between black vs. brown voters. This is an example of that.

He means diversity in opinion about the most important issues of the day. While most African Americans would probably say institutional racism and police brutality are key issues, you don’t have the same solidarity with Latinos. Central Americans might be more concerned about refugees, while Mexican Americans more…

I have to assume he meant that in presidential elections, african americans are much more predictable as a dem voting block. He’s Joe Biden though, so any time he mentions black people he will fuck it up badly. Statistically *if* that’s what he meant he’s not wrong he just CANNOT not fuck up talking about POC.

The worst thing is that I know what he means, but he says everything in the worst way possible that makes him sound so bad. He needs to make his VP choice and shut the fuck up.

No I’m talking about rural white people and their generational ignorance, not suburban white people. I grew up in coal country. The town I grew up in has 2.5k people today and it’s like the second biggest town in the area. There are far fewer black people here than in suburbia. These days there are a couple families,…

This is what 25 years of Fox News has wrought.

Well here’s the thing: These people don’t really have experience of black people being blatantly oppressed because there are no black people around them generally. They’re poor white people who have not had easy lives but also can’t really put themselves in the shoes of black people and think that their lives would be…

Or to put it another way.... they used the song.

That... that sound.

His stage name wasn’t Eddie Creative Commons...

It’s the height of performative wokeness to call cheese and crackers “fancy” and “what rich people eat”.

I live in a place where fresh bread, cured meats and cheese are considered staples, and therefore relatively cheap. I assume pickles, olives and nuts are affordable everywhere.

I feel like this whole controversy is part and parcel of a broader conflict between “wealth” vs, for lack of a better, less loaded term, “class” (perhaps “culture”), and how notions of “anti-elitism” have developed in this country to shit on the educated or people that enjoy aspects of culture that fall outside a very…

Yeah meat and cheese with some pickles on a hunk of wood makes one look so very fucking wealthy. I guess my ploughman’s lunch makes me an English Lord. The Branston Pickle has a gold banner on the jar.
