You illustrate my point well. There will always be people willing to manipulate the system to their advantage. I have been studying the Nordic models and more and more I see that, while they do work, they are very particular to the people and region they are in. In Denmark for example the top marginal rate is 60% on…

It requires greed and corruption for its wheels to turn. How can capitalism motivate people to innovate, produce, do better, etc - and somehow be independent of human greed? Greed is the motivator there.
Here’s the thing, guys: what most (sane) lefties support is not technically even called socialism. It is called Social Democracy, and it absolutely involves markets and a specific kind of well-controlled capitalism. It is capitalism with socialist characteristics, in other words, and that’s exactly what Elizabeth…
I love that the second quote is basically Hillary’s 2016 platform and it’s totally acceptable NOW because Warren (the Louise to Hillary’s Thelma, if you recall) is talking it up.
What the fuck is it with the recent obsession of you all with the labels of people who agree with you basically 100% on policy? Policy purity tests I get. I don’t always agree with them, and sometimes they are counterproductive, but I get the appeal of drawing a line in the sand over a substantive point and fighting…
“Rather than lifting everyone up, the free market has worked to make a small group of rich people much richer at the expense of the people who toil to create that wealth.”
She... has never claimed to be a socialist before, so I’m not clear on the expectation of her to do so now. She’s always been a capitalist and a pragmatist, and I don’t think she’s going to give up her long-held beliefs to go socialist now just because the label’s currently having a fashionable moment. I’d advise…
Like he’s gonna sit there and tell us that every time he’s had sex, he was 100% making a lifelong commitment. Bull. Shit.
I’ve been putting on sunscreen religiously for years but Biore UV essence is a total game changer, feels like you’re wearing nothing at all and doesn’t make me break out. I’ve made everyone try it and they’ve become converts.

The Grande/Davidson relationship is a train wreck waiting to happen. They are both mentally unstable drug addicts. Pete has demons with what he has been through. My prediction is the “marriage” will not last a year and Pete will kill himself with a drug overdose once it is over.
I just wanted to say that this is the best sunscreen and I approve of you and this article.

Having dated men I met in bars and ALSO (even worse) shatting where I ate, I infinitely preferred meeting people online, but that’s just me. There were some other options for meeting people (kickball league, hiking meetups) but these weren’t huge single men dating pools, and they were already the kind of exhausting…
Sounds terrible, tbh.
I mean, you’re using a sample of three people who do the same kind of work and exist in the same work culture. I can tell you that the women I know who use online dating (who tend to be feminists and/or academics) are using it in a very different way.
Yup, this is why I’ve given up online dating. I have a strange predicament: I won the genetic lottery and look about 10 - 15 years younger than I actually am. So, theoretically, I can absolutely pass for a 20-something and lying on my profile would be easy. And let’s face it, men looking at online dating profiles…
Eh, I want to see the methodology. I’m a Black woman who dated men online after 30. Statistically, I should be buying another cat and knitting them another sweater - but I found my dude within the first week of posting. I’m not thin, I have never been conventionally attractive- not that it matters, my post didn’t have…
Men 100 years ago and men today STILL think that younger women have sincere sexual and romantic interests in older men. Yes, men really do believe that.
Corporations will be automating everything they can as quickly as they can whether or not there is a minimum wage increase. See: parking attendants, cashiers, bank tellers. Any corporation claiming otherwise is lying.
