The girl is socially awkward and assumes he means to go on a walk later, instead of right now.
Imagine if people tried to build an entire society based on the ideology of a single writer.
I also have 3, three lifted Dodge Rams.
Is calling a corn kernel a nut some kind of European thing?

Pretend you’re a Korean parent and you want your kid to succeed without overworking them. Assume you have perfect knowledge of the state of the Korean education system and are not affected by cultural biases. How would you go about raising your child?

192·3 years agoI’ve always thought that vegan activists would be a lot more successful if they could end these meat subsidies, instead of harassing the public. If the price of meat triples no one is going to be eating meat regardless of their politics.

5·3 years agoYou can make vegan bean burgers for way less money than beef. A can of beans, flax seeds, bread crumbs, garlic and an onion are all you need.

22·3 years agoIt is probably possible for me to write this in terms of philosophical theory but I would not consider that a good use of my time. I’m more concerned with addressing the practical ways someone can improve their life regardless of the current state of the economy or how the current state came to be.
Some people are doomed from the start. But there are so many more people that could be thriving right now if they would just stop and think before taking out a loan and at least gain some basic financial education.
On the subject of Marxism, if people stopped getting into debt a lot less money would be flowing to the top. Banks would have fewer profits and their power would shrink. Therefore abstaining from debt could even be considered a kind of activism. The best kind of activism really, because it actually makes you wealthier.

2·3 years agoProperties owned by a corporation do not have a landlord. They are owned jointly by a group of investors who assume the financial risk. You can be a property company investor too if you want, there are a number of such companies called REITs that sell shares on the stock market and return a quarterly dividend.

35·3 years agoI agree that the rich in America are siphoning from the poor. But I think that the biggest way they steal from the poor is through debt, not living expenses.
Think about it. Americans are taught that they must go to university right after high school. Kids are forced to make a huge financial decision without any understanding of the consequences, and there’s a lot of social pressure on them to conform by taking out a student loan.
Next Americans are taught that they should always use credit cards, and that they need to build a good credit score (so they can get approved for more debt later.) They are again pressured by advertising and social norms to take on debt, in addition to the gimmicky rewards like airline miles and cash back, which intices you to spend more than you normally would.
Finally people have even started using debt products like margin trading, which allows you to lose more money on the stock market than you even have, and apps like Afterpay allow you to buy expensive items you can’t afford. It’s just a never ending cycle of debt.
If people were taught about the debt trap from an early age they could protect themselves and actually save their money, not become a wage slave like so many Americans have.

23·3 years agoIf you’re talking about the owner of a property company, that’s a company owner not a landlord. Still a tough job to run a company.

54·3 years agoYou do not need money to save money. You need money to invest.
Find inefficiencies in how you spend money and fix them to reduce expenses. Then save this difference.
The most common areas people spend too much are housing and cars.
