You want pick up? Ok, be there in 45 to 200 minutes.

Yup, when I lived in Madison, WI that was the experience pre-Uber. On top of that a ride would cost $20. Uber is an awful company but clearly they are addressing a market that wasn't being properly served in a lot of areas with cabs.

(and there's a difference between "the last 30 years have been poo poo and that's what Clinton promised so I'm voting Not That" and loving chuds but let's ignore that too I guess)

No, because PR not already being back on its feet is *a goddamned national tragedy* and *needs to be taken care of immediately* just like the water situation in Flint, but they aren't Republican voters so this admin doesn't care

Studies have shown that voting Trump had nothing to do with economic anxiety and everything to do with culture wars, racism, and sexism. In fact, Trump voters had, on average, a higher income than Clinton voters, even when controlling for rich Republicans.

Oh hey it's what I said in the edit of my post


which is why making GBS threads on rural poor isn't some "lol trump voters" thing, it's a "gently caress the poor" thing disguised to be socially acceptable to urban liberals/Clinton voters

What have the studies shown about those who voted for Barack Obama but then voted for Donald? Shifting culture war allegiances?

You're assuming that the rural poor and culture warriors are mutually exclusive. My point was simply that economic anxiety had nothing to do with their support for Hair Furor.

Phone double posting. In terms of scientific studies? I dunno, but a common refrain in anecdotal reporting suggest that rural whites are confused as to why black people are complaining, since we had a black president and that apparently fixed racism.

Also remember that Obama was the first time the government took a active pro-gay-marriage stance, which was a reversal from the message he ran on.

I'm "assuming" that there's a Venn diagram where parts of the circles don't overlap, you gently caress.

Well, compared to Vietnam...

We occupied it nearly entirely, captured and killed most of Saddams' people and Saddam, manipulated their politics to include our style of government, decimated their military, rebuilt their military, left and promptly returned when their military called and said they missed us and this Isis guy is a huge douche.

We committed atrocities, but be won the poo poo out of that war.
