Economists refuse to use new metrics. Yeah we keep buying “luxury” goods. But that doesn’t mean shit when a daily existence requires stuff like smartphones and laptops that keep going obsolete every 3 years. Are those a luxury when existing in today’s daily life and work requires that I have all this stuff? Is that a fucking luxury? You think I want all this shit? Im happily running linux on my 2012 Mac for all my personal stuff but my work Teams Meet bullshit doesn’t play like that… Put away the old econ textbooks, boomer.

More Palestinians will die under Trump. More Americans will suffer under Trump. More people around the world will suffer with a Trump presidency. But at least you showed the democrats…

It’s time to think beyond personal enrichment. That kind of greed got us into this mess.

I wanna open a beer garden the size of a parking spot next to it that sells cans of Rainier for a dollar out of a cooler and has a boom box and some plastic kiddie furniture. Party on.

All of that requires a livable wage first. How many times do people have to prove that no amount of “dilligence” will allow people to live, let alone save on minimum wage in most places?

"I built this company with these hands. Built it from the ground up…

It’s done? Oh. Good. Right. All right, that’s it. It’s over, you can all go."

I think Mountain Dew is the best soda.

They’re just a Four Loko for pussies.

Seems like “Christianity” and “following Jesus’ teachings, words, and example” are completely at odds. I appreciate what you are saying. Why don’t we hear Jesus Followers calling out “Christians” more vocally and often? I’d expect more of a break in the church at this point, but it seems like a fairly united front to me even now.

Let’s hear your best Biden joke then.

If it is the landlord’s primary home then they should not be lumped in. Renting out a room to help pay mortgage on the home you live in is not the problem. It’s the second homes, the third, fourth, tenth, hundredth homes where it is an issues, and I do think we can lump all of those together. They are using our limited housing supply as a portfolio piece, inserting themselves as profit-driven middle-men and making it less attainable for lower income families.

Entities that buy and own homes purely for “investment” at any scale are the problem. For-profit housing should not exist at any level. Want to own a second home and rent it out to cover the costs? Sure, but require that it be a non-profit.

Holy moly I love stuff like this. Thank you! Awesome!
