History’s revolutionary leaders knew that at the end of their revolutions there’d be tangible wealth to be claimed. They were not angry toddlers mindlessly lashing out. The rank and file may have been caught up in the emotion of the moment but when is that ever not true of the rank and file? Hell, the fact that they…

Already happened with DACA...

Revolution is not effective in a service based economy.

Why should they pay any more?

Spending private school money on some school that doesn’t have elite private school cachet is foolishness.

It’s literally impossible for us to ever have “good” candidates that are universally good to the ~60 million people (or ~20 million if you’re talking primaries) that are participating on each side. Literally. Cannot. Happen. You can’t have that many opinions and come up with something that makes everyone happy or…

I’ve realized that white people in general are a lot like the police. They keep telling us how most of them are good and yet the overwhelming majority of the supposedly good ones don’t seem to want to do anything about their blatantly degenerate peers.

Whose fault is this? How do career politicians become career politicians?

We also saw polls on November 7th...

Why is it that white people don’t understand that if we actually had the ability to erase history we wouldn’t be bothering with some statues?

I knew there was a reason I’ve refused to do anything NFL this year.

In the anime while Whis is training Goku and Vegeta he talks about how they need to be able to have their bodies react without needing to think about it because thinking wastes precious fighting time. He tells them both that they need to master that technique and that even Beerus hasn’t gotten it down yet despite…

I’ve known about the existence of bump firing and the stocks that facilitate the technique as long as I’ve owned a rifle and I call bullshit on anyone that also owns a “modern sporting rifle” and an internet connection that claims otherwise. The Republicans are lying... as usual.

You guys know it’s legal to own a class 3 firearm right?

The value of a bachelor’s degree depends on what it is in and where it is from. There’s no luck in the equation. School is a financial calculation. The whole objective is maximizing one’s earning potential while simultaneously minimizing expense. Anyone that isn’t doing that math is fucking it up. Fucking it up is…

A poor person would qualify for federally subsidized student loans. Quality schools cap expenses at maxing out federal loans plus some parental contribution and work study. Redoing my math for the worst case scenario, an independent student with zero parental assistance, 57k@4.4% over 10 years costs roughly 14k. So…

The article is about federal income taxes.

Imagine that you had your “free” college and so you went, had an aptitude for something useful, got a degree in something useful, and after five years you found yourself with a reasonable for someone with a useful degree and talent low/borderline six figure salary.

Taking someone money and giving it to someone else is a handout.

It’s not weird because the only people not asking the “What is this going to cost me” question are the ones that are confident that the payment part won’t impact them negatively.
