Well played. Unfortunately, this will not land where it needs to.

When I was first dating my husband, he asked me to use Pinterest to find some hairstyles that he could show the stylist at his next hair appointment. I thought Darren Criss has similar hair texture so I pinned a few pics of him. Ever since whenever my husband goes on Pinterest, his feed is just topless photos of…

This. They could have saved 900 million+ by not lending to the guy who failed as a steak salesman.....among other things.

In other words, people working from home might not be gassing up their car, buying a cup of coffee, hiring a daycare, picking up lunch, or any of the other things that come with commuting to and from work.

And more of the bullshit from these rich assholes to bleed the middle class dry.

There are multi-billion dollar corporations with entire workforces who do not use the infrastructure, don’t gas up their cars, buy a cup of coffee, hire daycare, or keep a large chunk of the US workforce employed. Because they’re all overseas! How about we try taxing the fuck out of them a bit, before hanging me up…

Not just political issues, but “differences of opinion”. We need to start putting forth the idea that there is ABSOLUTELY the wrong opinion. When your opinion is in line with the White Supremacist and Men’s Rights groups , you need to rethink your entire outlook on life and start making better life choices.

The thing is, the problem isn’t about letting go of political points of contention, the problem is when people present things like racism, misogyny, and bigotry as political issues instead of ones of basic human decency. If the divide were just over political issues, even loaded ones, like medicare for all, that would…

Look at the mental gymnastics these people have to do to avoid this very obvious concept: making billionaires and corporations pay their fair share in taxes would fix nearly all of our economic issues.

I will agree to this WFH tax only if it goes directly to an IRS Billionaire and Millionaire investigation division.

This might be the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. Maybe you can tax the companies who employ those who work from home, since they are saving money by not having to provide as much office space, office supplies, technology (network bandwidth), etc.

1. Isn’t it a bit too soon for this? The last season is barely cold.

In these conversations debating “economic anxiety” vs good old racism & bigotry, I’m wondering why Fox News isn’t coming up more often. I agree that those other elements are both factors, but the highest correlator between people in my life who fell for the whole Trump thing is that they get their “news” from that…

I was Iowa small town born and raised, and I’ve lived many years in large cities, including but not limited to Chicago (city proper, not suburbs).

“It could happen to anyone” should be used more generally, not in reference to Nexium. I can say with confidence that I would always have seen through Nexium, but it’s not impossible that a cult offering different ‘solutions’ more in line with my own values might have successfully preyed on me when I was young and…

There are plenty of poor people in cults.

There are still monarchies in the world, so I think it’s more or less a condition of society.

Been an interesting year for cults. Learning a lot about this group and the methods used to hone in on individuals and manipulate them made me slowly realize “Oh man, I can see how somebody can get sucked into this.”

Self-help scams that work are successful BECAUSE the leaders get their minions to talk one on one with people to show them how, no, this one is legit, look how it’s helped me. You’d think people wouldn’t fall for multilevel marketing scams either, but if you can get someone to be your “friend” who tells you this one…

It’s pretty appalling that you can so easily couch-quarterback and show little-to-no empathy for what was a very harrowing experience.
