Unemployment typically does not cover 100% of your lost wages. Even with the $300 supplement, the Chamber of Commerce’s own analysis shows that 75% of people collecting unemployment are getting less than they got from working. It’s highly unlikely that there are a significant number of people turning down jobs because…

It’s the $10 leather couch bullshit.

We need a federal law to help trans kids. I’m happy for any help we get but trans kids are getting fucking shit on right now and it needs to be stopped. I used to be so happy for todays trans kids because they have so many more resources than when I grew up but those things are being taken from them and it’s terrible…

I mean, Epstein did time for soliciting a minor in 2008 and had to register as a sex offender in 2009. It was hardly a secret.

Or maybe it’s because the youngest kid hit 18.

This is absolutely not “where Greene was elected”. Her districts nearly two hours from Atlanta. 

except for the fanboys and the wsb crowd

I went to a tasting from a distillery that had several kinds of single grain whiskies, like spelt and oatmeal. I had fallen hard for the oatmeal one, so wanted to try the others. I can’t believe this, but I’m not going to diss Paltrow for quinoa whiskey. As long as she drinks it and keeps it away from her cooch.

I’m white, and right around the time I got my liscense, I remember my dad telling me that he donates to the police benevolent association or something (it’s been 20 years, and I never fucking did, so I’m not sure) because they’ll send you a sticker you can put on your windshield saying you support the police, so if…

On the one hand, it’s incredibly pretentious.  On the other hand, humans have brewed alcohol from pretty much everything else on the planet, so why not quinoa?

He’s like Mr. Burns in a leather jacket. He wants to think he’s cool but he’s fucking not.

There aren’t more angry, violent cops not than there were ten or twenty or fifty years ago. The only difference is that today everyone has a video camera and everyone has access to a national audience.

I fucking hate anything that puts me in the position of having to root for Floyd Mayweather.

I swear, there are some commenters who show to valiantly defend any rich person who suffers the slightest criticism.

I was called Buckwheat, at work, by a blonde white woman who said it was a term of endearment too.

Yeah, Prosperity Gospel/Just World means nobody has to admit that they might have simply been the right person in the right place at the right time.

When you’re successful you get to pretend that right place and right time had zero to do with it. To do otherwise is to tacitly acknowledge that not everyone is given the…

I had the same thought since Jan. They are steadily amping up the rhetoric just to see what they can get away with and/or provoke folks. It lends itself to the whole “race war” that their slack-jawed tornado bait constituency continue to get moist about.

Fully into the “testing the fences” phase. They’re gearing up.

It kind of is. Particularly with stocks that don’t offer dividends. You get literally nothing for your effort, and you have to pray that whatever fictional gods you worship smile on you that day and the stock goes up. The reasons for stocks to go up or down have no more to do with actual real world events than for a…
