I literally just emailed my local parks and rec because they built a park immediately behind my once peaceful house.

I begged them to stop leaf blowing every single day. There arent even any trees. They are just out there every day blowing the grass. Usually before 7am.

The response I got was basically "sit and spin. If you don't like it, call the cops, but they are city too so they won't do anything."

Time before last I had a dental checkup, they said I needed 12 fillings. Didn't schedule the fillings.

Last time I went in for a dental checkup, they said I needed 5 fillings. Didn't schedule the fillings.

It's been 15 years since that, and none of my teeth have gone rotten. None of them have gotten painful.

Mininimum wage should be 7.26.

A 3 bed 2 bath home should be 80k.

A week of groceries should be 60 dollars.

A semester of university should be 2500 dollars.

Most jobs should not be minimum wage.

Employers should be giving profit share bonuses.

Millionaires and billionaires should be paying a higher percentage of taxes.

A massive percentage of our public trust should not be going to Israel.

I, at 37, am reaching my first professional opportunity to manage a support resource I've needed for 5 years, to maintain the data infrastructure I have built that has cut and dry made my company at least 40 million dollars in the past 2 years, but arguably has also saved the company at least 250k in manpower hours each year.

That resource is an outsourced individual from a firm in India who is making a slave wage.

I am also still severely undercompensated.

I wanna flip the monopoly board.

I have been informed my SSN, DOB, and payment information have been "compromised" at least 50 times in my life.

I hate that man SO much.

Slowest pitch in American history (except maybe Hilary who just HAD to rig the DNC and legitimize Trump) and he is still hellbent on losing.

Bankruptcy doesn't mean without money.

It means your liabilities exceed your assets.

Liquid assets go straight towards liabilities, real assets TEND to stay untouched, some physical assets are sold off, some aren't, then after that little dance, the remainder of liabilities are discharged.

So yes. When you walk out of a bankruptcy, in general, your quality of life has changed very little, you are just starting over in terms of LIQUID assets.

That is what bankruptcy was designed to be.

Counterpoint: Try chilling in your living room under a heated blanket with some cozy socks on and sipping hot tea when its Summer.

Correct.

Palestine should be allowed to exist without needing a Star Wars level rebel terrorist group to rage against Israel's cruelty.

Fuck Hamas, but they only exist because of Israel.

Now the only question is if we can get that genie back in the bottle if we correct our mistake, stop funding Israel, and let them fade away into dust.

The continued aggressive sheer will of the US government to take every cautionary tale ever written and make it reality.

Boomers are selling off all real estate to conglomerations. Either directly or through reverse mortgage.

Then the conglomerations either overcharge for rent OR they make you homeless, which makes you kitty corner from prison.

They also own stake in for profit prisons.

They are basically designing the next depression, which I am sure will work out for them this time.
