I'll never understand how people don't understand that having debt is not a bad thing; rich people, all rich people, if they're smart, have debt. The only way you can max out a personal credit score is by having debt, and lots of it compared to your income. Rich people don't pay cash up front for a home, a car, or just about anything else. The strategic use of debt by smart, rich households should be pointed out to any idiot that believes a balanced budget is a good idea.

Gene Hackman Fan posted:i'll admit that this is my own personal bias at play here, but y'all don't understand what the classic rock stations are like down here in tennessee. their playlists are designed to take everything you like about old/older music and torture you with it. and they get creative with it, too -- it's not just them playing bad songs, like david essex's "rock on" even though they play that as often as they report the traffic, but they'll also take the worst entries from good bands and play them every hour on the hour. you like van halen? get ready for the the quarterly playing of "ain't talking bout love" because bob the manager at predatory checkcasher's down on kingston pike can't get enough of it (even though the franchise holder threatened to terminate his agreement if there's one more sexual harassment suit, but they buy ad time at the station so gently caress it). Radio playlists aren't dictated by the local ad-buys. They are data-driven and they all play from the same list of 500 songs, especially for classic rock. Your radio station is owned by either cumulus or clearchannel and it is identical to every other classic rock radio station across the country. The DJ is probably not even local, lol. ate shit on live tv has issued a correction as of 20:50 on Jun 30, 2017 |

Tennessee surely has its own unique flavor of suck, but the radio station quality is just the status quo of the country. if you had an independent local radio station (which might exist in Nashville) it would be an automatic improvement over the rest of the commodified and focus grouped media market.

If you told them about the value of debt in a capitalist system they would either stare at you blankly and go 'huh?' or deflect by saying that its smart 'investment' when the rich carry debt and poor decisions by spendthrift idiots when the poor carry debt.

Willa Rogers posted:lol that her husband has funded gop candidates to the tune of almost $20,000. I know what this thread's answer to this question is before I even ask but, is it better to accept the existence of the Stephanie Murphys and Joe Manchins of Democratic politics or purge them and watch their seats go to Republicans? Kind of a rhetorical question for me since I know what most here will answer. It bears mulling over though.

At this point Macron is keeping the seat warm for whichever monstrous right wing candidate (probably) not named Le Pen decides to throw their hat in the ring on a platform of protecting the welfare state and throwing out refugees.

I dunno. Primary them but fall in line in the general I guess? Its not a satisfying answer but its what I had to do with Clinton. I guess it depends on if you think primarying bad dems 'weakens' them too much in their general by pointing out all of their flaws to potential voters, which is certainly *a* opinion you could hold I guess.

Lindsey Buckinghan was so good that when he left Fleetwood Mac in the 80s they had to replace him with 2 people. ...and they still couldn't come close to him.
