Amazing that all these tales of paying down debt involve 5+ steps, four and a half of which are totally unattainable, rather than what everyone assumed would be the step when they were looking at colleges: work and pay it off.

Well, see, if you're just given everything you can totally pay your debts off. I don't understand why everyone doesn't do this. If anything that story proves just because you went to college you can still be a moron

RandomBlue posted:9% of Obama voters are misogynists, 5% of Romney voters aren't insane/racist/misogynist/dumb enough to vote for Trump. It's really not that hard. Whenever people talk about Obama>Trump voters, they usually leave off how the polling showed they were mostly lifelong Republicans who swung to Obama since Bush had hosed up so badly, Obama was incredibly charming and ran on a really centrist/bipartisan platform, and at the time right-wing media hadn't really spun up the proper smears against him yet since Fox and such been geared toward campaigning against Clinton until late in the primary. A lot of them were probably also misogynists, but even that aside absolutely every reason they voted for Obama was gone in 2016.

The economy lighting on fire in 2008 was orders of magnitude harder to ignore, in terms of actually impacting your life, than anything Trump has done so far though. “You” is of course a relatively low information white voter here.

Heard this a lot from successful 1st gen and even 2nd gen immigrants to America, UK, etc. The issue is that while a lot of immigrants do work crazy hard, most still don't succeed. Like everything else, it's a risk thing: you might up your odds of success by going full on with business ventures but you also up your odds of cataclysmic failure and poverty. That said, the "nothing to lose" mentality is powerful, but not necessarily praiseworthy. It seems kind of messed up that we live in a world where rags to riches stories are principally a function of exposing yourself to ruinous levels of financial risk. Nobody ever talks about the people who take the huge risks and fail, but statistically that is 90% of entrepeneurs.

May as well carve out the 2019 equivalent of a giant swastika in your yard to let the Black and Hispanic people flying over that they’re not welcome in your lifeless rural hellhole, I guess.

Yeah but I've been in startups long enough that I know how risk, connections, and privilege tie into this narrative. Most serious business founders work hard and are smart (or at least have some savvy). Nonetheless only 10% of businesses survive their 2nd year, and fewer still manage to make their founders the kind of money to really go from rags to riches. The narrative isn't just "not left wing enough", it requires business and financial illiteracy to buy into.

The 2014-15 period of the Donbass conflict in Ukraine featured Russian armored units engaging Ukrainian ones. In fact that phase of the conflict is a good read into what a modern 21st century combat against peer opponents where neither side has air superiority looks like. In particular, artillery is more accurate and deadly than ever https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelenopillya_rocket_attack
