Referring to people who make up the top 4% of the WORLD when it comes to wealth as poor is ridiculous.

The typical American is an idiot.

Why should you trust the government?

I wonder how excited people are going to be about their little French Revolution fantasies when they realize that their parents and grandparents are the rich that are supposedly fucking everything up.

Be careful about which card you’re authorized for. Ideally it’d be one that doesn’t get used at all or one that gets paid off before each monthly statement close so the balance gets reported as zero. Alternatively, pick one with a limit high enough to not get dinged for utilization percentage or rate.

The only employer whose guarantee is worth a damn is the federal government and even then that one is subject to the whims of 250ish million American voters. Relying on your employer to take care of you forever requires a special kind of suspension of disbelief.

I’ve always been careful around those things because I always figured two should be all it takes to calculate the speed of a vehicle that runs over them. Guess I was right.

What happens when earning a “living wage”, whatever that actually means, prices the very people they’re intended to help out of employment?

Open up Terminal and type “man ln” then hit enter for the man page (instructions).

I agree but with a major caveat.

Did you plant, grow, cut down, and process the tree yourself?

Invest your money and maybe lose it or don’t invest your money and definitely lose it (to inflation).

The problem white people are totally dying out. It’s just a matter of time. Some of them might only be in sixth grade now but, you know, eight nine decades from now this is totally going to be fixed. Just wait and see!

I would bet my bottom dollar that you are not arguing for anything that would result in a net decrease in your quality of life so kindly take this self righteous nonsense and stuff it right back up your ass where you pulled it from.

I’m the fucking idiot but you’re the one that can’t figure out how to get to home plate despite, and I’m just guessing here, being born on third base. Hell, being born in the US means we were all born on third base. You were born a few steps from home plate and somehow managed to get lost.

Figured as much.

As of 2015 there were 44 million borrowers with student loan debt. There are 42 million that owe less than 100k. There are 2 million borrowers that owe more than 100k. That’s around 5% of the student debt holding population.

It sounds like your kid is going to an expensive private school or paying out of state tuition at a public school.

You’re a few hundred years too late to be talking about exploitation. The working class’ association with the monied class is voluntary. That’s not exploitative. You want to have money because you do not want to live under an overpass or in the woods. You do not need money. You want it. That’s the key difference…

You read the idea that students need to have a plan before they sign an acceptance letter and that parents need to be the adult(s) in the room rather than their child’s friend as “people don’t want to work hard”. Really? It’s the exact opposite of elitism. It’s brutally pragmatic. That’s how normal people are supposed…
