nah stewart et al also spent most of that era making fun of OWS

perhaps the most depressing thing is OWS was also the most successful 'protest' in like 30+ years. all the floyd and blm poo poo was a joke and rich just played along or ignored it letting it fizzle out after people got bored, but they were actually bonafide scared of OWS which is why they mustered all the armaments to blow it away asap and have the media jerk off about how bad it is, they have no message, etc etc 24/7

police literally murdered most anyone who was involved in the ferguson protests, right in front of everyone.

Watch probably isn't actually quite that much but lmao

If could be but apparently this was debunked and it’s only $2-3k still more than what the average French person could afford.

A lot of these rich assholes wear really expensive Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet etc.

Having a laugh thinking about people saying the boomers should've "done something" when reagan & congress raised the retirement age here, even though we were in our 30s and p. powerless to do anything about the changes that first affected our generation in subsequent decades.

A high percentage of Boomers voted for Reagan in the first place too, so expecting them to "do something" is kind of silly.

According to a BBC article on Macron's watch shenanigans...

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65069823

quote:

The exact cost of the watch was debated online, with some of Mr Macron's critics suggesting it was worth €80,000.

But the Élysée Palace told French media the president was wearing a Bell & Ross BR V1-92 model, which is personalised with a coat of arms.

Prices online for this watch, without the personalisation, are between €1,660 and €3,300 (£1,460 and £2,900).

"He has been wearing it very regularly for more than a year and a half," the palace added in a statement.

I know watches are a "sky's the limit" thing price-wise, but that still seems expensive to me.

what does the egg do

A bunch of stuff. The main two:
It's got proteins in it that have one part that can grab water-soluble stuff (sugar, salt, etc) and another part that can grab water-insoluble stuff (oil, fat, etc) and so let those things mix and combine smoothly rather than separating.
It has proteins that can be persuaded using heat and surrounding chemical environment to unfold and form big linked nets that can grab and disperse bubbles of stuff (including, say, air, in fluffy cakes).

You could achieve these effects with other ingredients, but it'd be expensive / fussier / less healthy.

Look up the price of some Omegas. Macron was practically wearing a poor mans entry level luxury watch. A daily beater.

Whether he was wearing a very expensive watch or not doesn't matter while his suit probably cost more anyway. He should have worn a slightly crumpled white shirt with a slightly loose tie and rolled up sleeves, and the cheapest casio digital watch.
