personally i think if a slave owner (oops sorry, slave renter) wins an election, that doesn't make them objectively better than someone who didn't own slaves, but that's just me

That article brings to mind MLMs more than normal second jobs. It even refers to using your social media to try and sell poo poo to all your friends and family.

Yeah, when I think of a side hussle I think of somebody doing website design in the evenings, having an etsy shop where they sell stuff they build, or other poo poo like that. Not uber or MLMs.

excuse me but bernie is way more racist than clinton, because even if she DID use slave labor, he didn't win any primaries in the south

It's been really sad watching my cousin get involved with this poo poo while her poor husband is constantly trying to politely persuade her it's a bad idea. It seems like many women get involved in MLMs in situations similar to her; they have a child, go on maternity leave, and the idea of having a job they can continue to work from home while being with their kids is appealing.

There's also definitely some appeal to being an "entrepeneur" (though lol at calling someone doing an MLM that), though I think that this sort of thing is mostly the result of our garbage economy where people can't rely on making enough money with "normal" jobs to meet their needs.

In her case, the MLM involves a thing you wrap around your stomach that is supposed to destroy fat, lol. At least some MLMs have an actual product, even if it's overpriced, but this is something pseudo-scientific thing that doesn't even work.

Before the terrible ending sequence of the Primaries.

I haven't heard him say anything in regards to it since, other than he's identifying as an independent now as that was what the people in his area elected him as.


If he registers as a D for 2018 we know for sure he's going for a 2020 run.
If he stays registered as an I for 2018 then we're just unsure if he's going to run, but it's a probability.


I would not be surprised at either result

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Better jobs and wages is good and cool
