it's because there doesn't exist any mechanisms to punish rich white kids re: drugs, every drug law is designed to turn as many young minorities into slaves and doesn't have any means to address any other kind of offender

yeah

the white kids would get arrested and slapped on the wrist and grounded by their parents for a week and they'd just be back at it the next week with no consequences

meanwhile all the black kids knew to just stay the gently caress away from that poo poo because they'd spend the rest of their lives in jail

Yea growing up like AOC is actually a pretty drat good way to see that disparity first hand. I had a similar situation, parents making a decent living and we were not financially stressed on a daily basis, but certainly not private prep school money so I went to public school and had friends who were both much better off than we were and also some who were really struggling. You could go to a party in a certain neighborhood and it felt like you were partying in a literal palace, then drive ten minutes to another neighborhood and it's borderline trailerpark territory and partying in somebody's unfinished basement.

Yup I grew up in PR and went to the best private high school the island has. I was one of the “poorest” kids in the school but that was still better than 98% of the island. I saw some insanely rich poo poo hanging out with some friends and we’d alternate drinking between the super expensive rich spots and the hole in the wall everything is breaking down parts of the island. Back then my class still had a semblance of humility and no one really went out of their way to flaunt their wealth. Everyone was aware of how insanely lucky we all were. We just drank a ton and had fun knowing we were all getting groomed to leave the island and never come back because poo poo was getting bad back then and it sure as poo poo ain’t better now.

They're real bad by iPhone standards too. I got a 7 Plus last time my contract was up because I wanted to try one, and I like it a lot more than my previous Android, and even I could tell that the X was a pile of poo poo.

Moved from a 6S to an X and first one hard failed had to be replaced. Current one is laggy as hell on networks, probably needs replaced as well.

it's main feature was that it's more expensive lol

it's what marxists were predicting apple would formally pivot to years ago, back when rich people were bitching that they couldn't show off owning an iphone anymore because now even poor people could afford them

Democrats are making presidential tax returns a focal point in one of their first pieces of legislation, an effort to build the case to the American people that time is up on President Donald Trump keeping his own tax returns from the public, shutting what could be a window into his personal wealth.

According to two sources familiar with the discussions, Democrats will include a provision in their new bill that would require presidential nominees to disclose 10 years of tax returns shortly after they become the nominee. Vice presidents would also be required to disclose a decade of returns. The tax returns would then be posted on the Federal Election Commission's website for public viewing.

Better nutrition and fitness access will make you look younger. That goes on into adulthood as well. Rich people almost always look better/younger unless they massively hosed up.


yeah but im not just comparing them to ultra impoverished and malnourished kids, but well fed ones too (including myself). Whether poor or middle class, the public school kids (or even private school kids who went to school in the middle of the city in normal areas, rather than getting chauffeured to the suburban fancy pants academy) reliably looked and acted older than the kids who went to ultra fancy exclusive prep schools. But it was so long ago maybe im not remembering right. Or maybe i just drank too much piss as a child and hosed up my hormones and started growing a beard and getting buff as hell at age 8. the pre escalator days all blur together

This isn't them saying "oh hey we were looking to make 91b but we only made 84b" this is them saying "there is no way in hell we will ever make 91b"

84b is their new rosy projection.

now i want the tech sector to just loving die an implode so maybe I'm a little optimistic but this, to me, is pretty legitimately a freakout move

one day ur at a party in the projects

then next week ur at some rich kids party surrounded by weird richie riches

on a related note, its really loving weird how rich kids all look like 5 years younger than the equivalent aged public school kids :psyduck: ...like their extra comfortable lives somehow delayed puberty, or they just never got stabbed in the eyes for their toilet wine or jumped every day while walking home or whatever. also i noticed how a lot of rich kids tended to be obnoxious around strangers in an unfamiliar way to me, like, oversharing while constantly whining and acting arrogant about random poo poo or something i dunno. Whereas doing that in the projects would get u...stabbed in the eyes for that toilet wine lmao

also piss trum wow

wow dr moneybags over here with a loving toilet to make wine in. we had to use our poo poo pits to make jenken!
