The majority of Americans live in the major metros. 7% of the American population lives in my statistical area alone. The jobs are in the major metros. I can’t move to Albany, there is no job for me in Albany.

We won’t have to worry about putting landlords like you up against the wall when the revolution comes ‘cause you’ll come running with your own blindfolds.

If you can afford multiple investment properties in basically any major metro area (especially the damn one in the header image), you are rich.

It’s so simple. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before.

If you want to have money when you are old, already be rich when you are young.

How is it cheaper?  The guillotine is re-usable!

I like your style, but a bullet in the head would be cheaper and more efficient.

Historically, the best solution to people like this is the guillotine.

Same reason that free college scares them. No one complains about the “free” education we get through HS, because a HS diploma really doesn’t get you very far these days. But add on those extra 4 years, which might allow the poors to have a chance, and everyone goes nuts because that financial advantage might be taken…

It’s like arguing with anti-vaxxers. Continuously repeating the claim that the U.S. healthcare system is the best in the world is not much different from repeating the claim that vaccines cause autism. They are both equally false with plenty of data to prove they’re false.

Well, what are reparations, if ever passed, going to actually look like? It’s going to come after some kind of Truth & Reconciliation Committee, and it’s probably going to look like a mix of jobs programs, educational efforts, and housing-related efforts.

“Reparations” can mean a lot of different things. Cash payouts of thousands if not hundreds of thousands to people who are not prepared will not improve their lives in the long run. You don’t fix poverty with financial payouts, there have to be long term institutional changes first.

I hear what you’re saying. A couple of things:

My only real issue with it, and I think this mistake gets made a lot, is the near constant suggestion that anyone who doesn’t agree with her on the Israel-Palestine conflict is doing so not because of a genuine disagreement but because they’re held in thrall by the money of AIPAC or whatever.

“You could argue what she said is borderline...”

Vilifying Omar IS how they’re deflecting criticism. Netanyahu’s corruption and whatever fresh hell they’re visiting on Gaza won’t receive any substantial coverage while every pundit with a media platform is going to be howling for her to resign. 

Stop worrying so much about “optics”, please. I’m sorry, but the entire reason the entire Israeli-Arab conflict has such become a festering boil on the world’s ass is that way too much shady shit is going on, and various parties try way too hard to make sure no one calls a spade a spade on it all. Omar did, and I’m…

This is how Colin Kaepernik ended up having to defend himself from accusations of “disrespecting the troops” when he asked that cops not kill black people indiscriminately.  This is Grade A deflection. 

Israel is crossing dangerous lines in their meddling in our politics. The United States have elected 3 Muslims to Congress and all three have been smeared as anti-Semites by corrupt forces in our government and media. Enough.

Does anyone ever state that parents may have been selling their kids out in hopes of something? Not saying a settlement, but actual prostitution
