Working people shop at Macy’s?

I realize that for most people, this is something that is so far out of reach right now, so in moments like these, I am humbly reminded of how privileged my life is. #thisis40

I live in a very expensive city and that kind of money would cover 15 months of rent. If you are paying that for a BAG, you are a chump and they saw you coming. ( IMO)

I wish Paul’s neighbor would just kick his ass again.

I voted for Joe Biden. I received an email confirmation for my mail-in ballot.

I agree with you, but from what I read from her statement (and it’s likely just my class resentment running wild), she personally reaped the benefits. Also, as others on here have noted, she comes from an incredibly wealthy area. Wikipedia says it was one of the highest-income places in the United States in 2000. But

Once again the presidential debate falls on a night that I’m attempting a baking project. Last time it was tiramisu, I had the debate on headphones and the lady fingers I made turned out not as evenly textured as I wanted (plus I burned most of my first tray). I blame my less than perfect creation (which was still

Her mother’s maiden name is “Koch”. Not saying she is related to the famous Koch’s, but interesting.
Also, her mom’s 1st name is Karen. So there is that.
There cannot be a more Republican name than Karen Koch.

Agreed.  

You said it, sister

Came here to say this. As soon as she said she “saw the benefits” of republican fiscal policies, I was like, “Oh, you grew up on that horse farm, you didn’t just take care of horses.”

Yeah, every state has its 1%. If she’s from horse farm country chances are good she grew up wealthy.

No, you can also be poor and ignorant to believe the LIES that are the fiscal benefits of some of the Republican policies” I mean before Trump ran on white supremacy, lying about the benefits of Repub fiscal policies was their basic platform.

Perfectly said. Now if only the converse was true, and people who don't have a pot to piss in could see the downside... 

There are also definitely people who feeeeel like they're seeing the benefits when really they just had a lucky year or whatever. If she was like 13 and in a Republican household, it could just be what her parents were telling her.

As someone who was raised middle class and Republican, I have to disagree. People vote against their own interests ALL the damn time, and my parents voted Republican at least partially because they thought Republican policies would help them get richer - move themselves into one of those tax brackets that actually bene

There’s definitely levels between standard middleclass and 1% that feels the benefits. My family in Ohio was firmly regular middleclass and hard liberal and didn’t see benefits of the fiscal stuff. I read in a comment above her dad owns a construction company. Business owners ESPECIALLY are catered to and are

She’s from one of the wealthiest enclaves in the state of Kentucky, so chances are pretty good that’s she’s from the 1%.

She made money from training the horses her family owned on the farm they also own. Way to be self-made by getting paid by your parents.
