Why people hate being called poor so much? Your value in currency is almost entirely luckbased. Your upwards earning potential can only be influenced a small amount by your actions. This is freeing.

In the United States if you are poor you have obviously morally failed in some way, are contemptible because of this, and you only deserve a humane standard of living if your betters so choose to give it to you

work 2 or 3 jobs to stay afloat and are still poor as gently caress? Too bad you're still morally suspect and you are being slowly ground to death in the gears of our aggressively capitalist system at the same time

also if you're male you I feel like you get like roughly double the shame if you don't win the economic lottery in some way or another- like not asking anyone to shed a tear for the poor disadvantaged white, straight male in the US but that kind of expectation and then the resultant constant shame upon the expectation more than likely not being met can't be healthy psychologically for like wide swathes of our country and I feel it plays right into the hands of politicians who readily tap into and abuse it



like I know this isn't a revelation or anything but this is the way the vast majority of people think in the US; it's reality and kind of a stumbling block to enacting any social safety nets

I'm sure Trump's "signing statement" will just be a feeble, flailing attempt to appease Putin so that he won't immediately release the piss tape.

my advice to you is that if you want to buy something from Dick's Sporting Goods, don't go to dicks.com. There aren't any sporting goods there

Every day I drive past a shopping plaza with a Dick's Sporting Goods and a Giant grocery store. Once they put up new signage for the plaza and those two stores were side by side, so for a week or two everyone got to enjoy an 8-foot-tall GIANT DICK'S billboard.

They opened that place in the rear end end of nowhere, got $55m in concessions from the local government in tax rebates and property development, and the place wasn't near full on opening day. Pretty sure that entire thing was a scam from the word go.

or something pushing back on the attempts to limit what the executive branch can do with the sanctions

yup

quote:

Trump’s concerns cover four areas: encroachment on executive authority, unintentional harm to U.S. companies and business, as well as U.S. international partners, and limits on the flexibility of the administration to act in concert with allies in dealing with Russia.

The European Union has warned of possible retaliation if European companies are hobbled by sanctions aimed at squeezing Russia’s energy exports.
