This idea isn’t “stupid” it’s just that this individual didn’t know what he didn’t know.

I’m not a member of the 1% or hell even the 50%. I’m a regular living paycheck to paycheck working stiff like most of the readers of lifehacker.
But I roll my eyes when I read people justify apply special taxes on some people just because it only affects a small portion of the population. Loose translation:: “Dude,…
400 years of history and you’re still confused about why black people might be cool on old white men who’s primary interest is caping for the “white working class”.
Medical cost is a completely different discussion (also not something people use often), but housing is only ridiculous in certain areas. I bought my current house for $25k 2 years ago, which admittedly was a great deal, but it was only listed for $45k to start. It’s not big, it’s not super nice and needed a few minor…
Or you could lightly touch and find that irregularly shaped volume button and realize it should be on your right.
“The people’s champ”? If by that you mean “the white people who think thoroughly combating racism/sexism/bigotry are just ‘distractions’ from addressing the class struggle (and their blacker-than-thou tokens) champion,” that certainly describes Bernie Sanders. Love and support Cardi B and I hope she continues to…
Look, I like money as much as the next guy, but there are two fundamental problems here. One is that any small-scale experiment in “universal” income is, by definition, not universal. This means that the test isn’t sufficient to break into the macroeconomic scale, so we find out what happens on a small scale, but we…
I think it’s highly disingenuous to mention the fixation on the white working class and exclude Bernie Sanders’ side of that obsession. This is a man who moved OUT of New York City in the 70s as it diversified. (The term for this is known as “White Flight,” and Bernie wasn’t the only white person running from new…
I’d assumed people saying “white working class” was a racist dog-whistle that means “people who deserve to be middle class just because they’re white” or something.
Your title, The Racist Fixation on the White Working Class, equals and is personified, by none other than — Bernie Sanders.
Throw out the expectation that weddings have to cost a lot of money.
This article in 3 sentences: “I want to live in NY and have access to its job market and lifestyle; but I don’t want to pay what it costs to live there. Sure, I could go to Pittsburgh and have a much lower cost of living; but I don’t find the lifestyle or job market as attractive. It’s all so unfair.”
Its more that we need another recession. We bought our home in California a few years after the initial crash in 08'. Prior to that the housing bubble was just as bad as it is now. After the crash prices fell a good 45% in our area. Now they’re back up again and the boring rancher home is ( supposedly ) worth almost a…
I was with you up until the part about Florida.
You don’t need to install anything.
Dag you missed the entire point of the scorpion story. The scorpion stings the frog when they are halfway across the river. The frogs turns to the scorpion and says “Why would you do that, now we both going to drown “, the scorpion shrugs and says “Its just my nature”. The point is the frog foolishly believed the…
My best & only piece of advice about kids is “don’t have any”.
How do you marry someone without already having a really good agreement on your financial future together?
