Losing your business franchise after going on racist tirades to customers and then publicly defending your actions probably counts as bad with money. quote:The officer later detailed what Crichton told him in a police report...[Crighton] did not deny what Ford had said:

I'm pretty sure not realizing that you're stuck negotiating while black and playing aggressive like a white guy can counts as pretty bad with money. Good way to find out you aren't a good culture fit.

Also, what you're saying is false, so there's that as well.

George H.W. oval office posted:Regardless of race, people are just raised to not ask for what they want to be paid instead of what they will be given. P lovely that we do that really. The negotiation thread is chock full of people succeeding in breaking from that mold. Yeah, but when people negotiate hard, some of them are treated like go-getters who know what they're worth, and others are treated as unpleasantly "uppity," "fiery," or "bitchy." In the interest of avoiding probation, I will just say that this is an interesting but clearly inexplicable problem not tied to any other social issues of perception at all. Some people are just born lucky, I guess.

Krispy Kareem posted:When I was debating how much to spend to save our dog (probable liver failure, it was messy) I visited some pet enthusiast web forums where people were spending absolutely obscene amounts of money keeping their dogs and cats alive while usually acknowledging they were now broke. I wouldn't be surprised if people carried the same attitudes over to their pets. Refusing to accept imminent death is BWM, and also BWL since you're dragging the grieving process out longer.

Haifisch posted:From a couple pages ago, but I'd absolutely bank on it being a cultural difference. One thing driving up human healthcare costs is people who refuse to let grandma die, even though she's effectively a corpse & needs brutal and invasive treatment to prevent her from legally becoming a corpse. Meanwhile, Britain appararently has more of a "the doctor gives you these options to pick from, and won't suggest futile treatment" culture. And Americans see the NHS system as effectively death panels because the government is interfering with your rights to tell your doctor to max out your insurance and raise everyone's premiums on dragging out your EOL care instead of accepting that it is what it is.

Like it or not, rural white hicks are statistically people who are bad with money, the numbers just kind of bear that out (except for the occasional high-income farmer). Their culture does not tend towards aspiring to high income jobs (value hard labor and an honest days wage), and the resources and role models available to them aren't always the best. Their accent and attitudes alone can be a hindrance in the modern workplace.

TURN AROUND THREAD NOOOO SAVE US HORSECHAT http://www.lindaparellimasterclassnh.com/index.php/ Linda Parelli is the wife of Pat Parelli of horsey pyramid scheme fame. She is best known for a video of abusing the poo poo out of a one-eyed horse during one of her clinics*. But she's out to prove she can sucker money out of horse crazies as well! quote:Would you like to spend three days with Linda Parelli? Would you like to be coached by LInda with your very own horse? This is a unique opportunity for students in the northeast to learn, be coached and inspired by an inspirational leader who understands life from both the horse and rider's point of view. quote:Riders $2,500 Most clinics with actual real horse trainers cost less than $50 to audit (watch but not participate), but not Linda's! quote:VIP Experience $500 And of course because they're the loving Parellis: quote:If you sign up 10 auditors (excluding VIP), get $500 off. All 10 must be signed up and money attached with application. Clinic limited to 12 riders. What a deal! *The original video was taken down due to a copyright claim, so have this clip featuring some excellent commentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBMuVVMXNUQ&t=66s No horse should EVER be snapped in the face like that, let alone one who is blind to one side. So not only is she suckering people's money, she's harming horses and teaching her students the same. Youth Decay fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Jan 10, 2017 |

I love that guy. quote:This is his favorite beach in Florida, a 25-foot stretch of sand separated from the road by a line of palm trees, a place so public that nobody else seems to notice it. The traffic cruises by on the causeway at 50 miles an hour, and he has the beach to himself. He comes here to paddleboard, to read and to journal. Once, after a morning in the water, he returned to the beach and fell asleep on his surfboard. A few hours later, he felt the cold chill of water on his foot and awoke to see that the tide had risen and swept him back out into the ocean on his board. He was quite a distance from shore, out there by himself, disoriented and scared. "That was one of the best moments of my life," he says. I wish I was that good with money.

When her Vermont father found out his first three questions were, "does he have a job?", "does he wear saggy pants?", and "does he know who his father is?" Two summers ago my daughter visited her aunt and cousins and they sent back a picture of her wearing Confederate flag sunglasses. They claim they like that flag - not because they're racists, but they're fans of the Dukes of Hazzard. To get us back on topic, this aunt has borrowed money from everyone in the family for 20 years and the moment her husband had a steady paying job decided to buy a huge truck, the house next to them, and a boat. Their son is starting college this Fall so of course the first thing you do is completely max out your finances at the same time you increase your family income past the point of any financial aid. They've also at various times owned 20 dogs. They do not breed dogs.

ate all the Oreos posted:Did they sell their current house or did they buy the second house just to keep all the dogs and boat in The land used to belong to her grandparents. When they passed away some land got divided and developed and she bought the original house for super cheap and then proceeded to refinance via crooked appraisals until the mortgage was easily twice what the property was worth. They've had right-of-way problems with the other sister properties so when one got foreclosed on they purchased it as an investment. Keep in mind maybe 3 months prior they had tried to get my father-in-law's maple syrup sugaring money from his gun safe while he was out hunting because they were so broke. poo poo, add something about heroin and that would have been the most Vermont sentence ever. The dogs are all dead and the boat isn't that big. I wouldn't be surprised if they were still hiding my brother-in-law's parents' 5th wheel RV from the repo men on that new property though.

Vermont racists are pretty bad. My high school was a mixture of Vermont Racists and New Hampshire Racists (we called them hicks) as it was a school serving 4 counties and on the line between the two states. It wasn't unusual to see a Confederate flag on a truck. One kid had the top of his jeep painted with the flag and the school still let him park there and everything. It wasn't unusual for people to bring guns to school either, in fact it was a usual thing. The sad thing is we don't even have a sport sprogram (schools up there couldn't afford the insurance for football so no football program). Instead the schools had lots of forestry and farming programs, and the kids in those classes got the Football treatment.

Kinda related, I have a friend who became a Washington State forest ranger and it was a terrible job. It was to be expected that his first posting was in the middle of nowhere, which is fair, but the pay was atrocious and he kept getting furloughed and rehired. He eventually got fed up and became a resort island cop and probably makes triple the ranger pay. I dunno how the state expects retain any quality rangers, one of his coworkers was sleazy and was fired for stealing a break room fridge.
