Funny is subjective

I’d like to think you’re right but they’re more of a cult than a political party.

I’d believe that overhauls in this sense means that they have completely restructured/breathed new life to their campaign and thus gained favorability

The name game? Lmao.

Things would probably be different if teachers made more money or if the requirements were higher. For most people who become teachers, it definitely was not their intended career progression. Just something they landed on.

I think for a lot of people, reading of kind of a luxury they don’t have time for. Kind of hard to hone your literacy skills when you’re living hand to mouth.

Then again, I’m a self taught engineer from a poor immigrant family. So who the hell knows.

Basically because every time this happens the burden of debt is passed towards the tax payers. They just built a long toll lane in my city in what was a 2 lane highway. Adding another lane or two would have alleviated traffic immensely. The company that built it owns all profits for approx 50 years. What could have been a 5 lane highway is still two except now you have the option of paying a ridiculous amount of money to not have to deal with the traffic. This is money that could have been spent on improving the city’s other methods of transportation, trains, bicycles, etc.

It doesn’t affect me personally. I ride a motorcycle every day. It’s just painful to see how private interests are almost never in line with what’s best for constituents

Yup. The corruption is blatant, and the worst part is, they don’t even hide it… the threat of impending doom keeps the voters subservient. Instead of pointing out the corruption, we equivocate. I’m not a nihilist or a pessimist and most certainly do not want Trump to win. But refusing to acknowledge the blatant corruption puts us right where we started.

Props to you for actually reading the article. If anyone else who replied to the comment had done the same, there wouldn’t be as many “what-about-isms”

What’s mind boggling about it? Bernie Sanders wasn’t a prophet. He ran on a platform and we believed in his candidacy. Just because he bent over for Hillary doesn’t mean that suddenly now she’s a great candidate. If he had to bite down on the rag, I don’t fault him for that. But asking people to get on board “just this once” every election is just a carrot on the stick. It’s always “but this one is SUPER important, set yourself aside and pick the lesser evil, eventually we can get what we want.” There is no “eventually” and there never will be as long as you and others like you show that you’re willing to throw your ideals away because of this season’s boogieman

You’re missing a lot of context. You’re examining the contents of the effect, without looking at the cause.

The DNC rigged the primaries before any ballots were cast. They conspired against Bernie Sanders to have Hillary as the nominee and worked to sabotage Bernie’s run for presidency. Talking about exit poll statistics doesn’t really mean much. The corruption was already well underway.

You know there’s elections before the primaries right? The Democratic party has shown that it will resort to all means of corruption to give you the “establishment” candidate. And people like you keep voting for the lesser of two evils. Let the Democrats lose more elections they shouldn’t lose, eventually they learn they need to uphold the values of democracy to win an election.

If the Democratic party wasn’t corrupt to the core, it would have been Bernie. After that it would have been Andrew Yang. You keep voting these Republicans in Democrat clothing, nothing ever gets solved. Every democrat in history since I was born has promised to do something about immigration, nothing ever gets done. Why? Because it serves their interests to have a variable workforce that they can underpay and demean.

People like you are why the Democratic party keeps forcing shit candidates down our throats. They count on obnoxious people like you to guilt others into voting for “the lesser of two evils”

Love it, the perfect touch would have been editing my username to “this is going well” lol

It’s surprisingly easy to edit the HTML in your browser and make something like a tweet or an email look legit. Screenshots should never be taken at face value

Undocumented is kind of a funny term, because the government basically says “we’re not giving you permission to legally acquire employment because you’re not supposed to be here, but if you DO find employment, pay taxes using this ITIN number(pseudo social)”

The argument isn’t as vague as it seems. The only way America is ever truly going to be great again is if we reduce military spending, strengthen education /social programs and tax the rich. It really is a war of the have and have nots, at the end of the day.

Salvador Dalí: ‘Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.’

I wish I would have heard this quote much sooner… I usually like to flesh out my projects/ideas from the start and it feels unoriginal or boring when it’s too derivative of other work… But everything is derivative of something. Being afraid of being “unoriginal” should never stop you from creating, or at least trying. A lot of the time the “unoriginal” work pays great homage to the original work and really does transform the result to something new and vibrant

Question about open ear headphones, how bad is sound leakage? I wouldn’t blast music with headphones on in the office but is even moderate listening volumes pretty noticeable?

I guess let people have their fun, but I agree. Class C space is pretty insignificant

To give a simpler answer, not all profit is income. let’s say you own a small company and you earned 100k of profit in a year. If you want to take that 100k as income and pay yourself(the owner), you’re going to get taxed pretty high. But instead you could really use a new work truck, so you buy a company truck that goes as a business expense and pay yourself the remaining 50k.

Companies have a lot of options in ways to spend their earnings without it having be taxed as income.
