Possibly presumptuous white guy here... If no one is telling you to leave or actively making you unwanted, but most people are white, is it still a white people thing? Maybe that’s the question but now I’m asking from ‘the other side’ where I feel REALLY unsure how to even ask. I mean... from the sounds of it there’s…

I don’t know why anyone would want to go there.

Burning Man is for stupid people. The rest of us are smart enough get high* AND enjoy flush toilets.

I am firmly of the mind that America’s blighted Third World sections benefit immensely from gentrification, but this seems to be a minority (ironic pun intended) viewpoint among my fellow liberals.

Yes. Exactly this. He’s not a serious candidate, I don’t think. This article suggests that the top three candidates in the polling right now are all Democrats, and none of them is Scurlock. The guy running fourth got 4 percent, Scurlock didn’t even garner enough support to be named in the poll. So he’s polling…

Idk how old you are but I’m mid 40s and heroin was like so taboo. People who were druggies justified it by “but I don’t do heroin”. I’m not judging but it’s remarkable how mainstream it’s become.

... Every one of these Y/N articles makes me wonder how fucking out of touch I am with music.

That’t the great thing about being a progressive isn’t it... too little investment in a community or too much... there is always some thing to bitch about and claim victim status over.

Actually there’s a farm pretty close to Highland Park with some emus that serve as a security force to protect the other animals from packs of wild dogs, coyotes, foxes, etc.

You guys are the problem.

Hopefully those neighborhoods don’t get gentrified. Nothing bothers me more than whites and black living together, reduction in crime, increased property value, increased business investment, safety and security for women and children, and jobs.

I feel like I’m living in an episode of South Park, and not a particularly good episode. One of those ones where we’re hammered with the moral over and over again “oh you idiots like shitty pop culture do you- fine your President is a reality show star and pop music is being put out by a fucking cautionary tale from…

Well, that’s it. Detroit has one of the largest-spread residential acreage in the country (it’s huge, really, and almost perfectly flat) — and it was sparse to begin with. Empty lot after empty/abandoned lot.

Your employer views the most difficult part of the customer relationship as the acquisition of new or incremental business. This is true in many, if not most, businesses.

Most of the time, they are not even getting kicked out of school - they’re just getting class schedules adjusted, dorm assignments changed, etc. Expulsion is pretty rare.

You understand that long term capital gains is TAX FREE at low income levels, right? Getting stock in a tax deferred account is getting a loan on at least 10% more money. Getting a higher wage subjects that money to SSI and income taxes.

required schools to lower the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard of evidence used in criminal court to a preponderance of evidence, in line with studies that have shown sexual assault is exceedingly common, false reports are rare, and rape is underreported and rarely prosecuted.

You’re willing to share the profits. Are you also willing to share the losses?

Wait what!? Profit sharing via company stock is NOT a good idea? Are you high? Lack of investments is the reason why people do not have the ability to accumulate wealth! There is a perfectly simple solution to being paid company stock: Sell it! Everyone can do this within their 401K’s! When I worked retail decades…

I’ve always thought that stock options are a great way to go. Get a piece of the company.
