theres an entire subgenre of articles about how learning how to budget and save is the secret to becoming rich, which is of course nonsense. the target audience for them is never actual poor people, but rather rich people who want to be assured that poverty is a matter of individual choice and bad decisionmaking - that the working poor are poor because they spend all their money on spinning rims and $200 tennis shoes, the silly dillies. nothing systematic, generational, or racial about poverty - its all because Those People fritter away their money on avacado toast and coffee pour-overs.

someone (hph?) needs to post that sample budget that mcdonalds briefly distributed to their workers to help them climb out of poverty.

i'm almost certain all those articles are just ghost written bank PR firm pieces to convince people to put money in banks and talk to their shady as poo poo sales people

good times

uh, you forgot the best part, that she then had them build a daycare so *she* could still spend time with her kids, but you live in sacramento cause we let you WFH, tough poo poo, enjoy your 2+ hour train ride each way.

I'm the no-brainer million and a half dollar house
or maybe I'm the 5000/month mortgage and two car loans when I haven't repaid school loans yet
debt debt debt can't get enough of this delicious debt

its why it was fun watchin real housewives of OC with the wife during the 2008 downturn. Basically all those people were in debt to their eyeballs from cars to boats to houses even the drat watches and purses. Real good watching when they had to down size from mansions to condos and return all their poo poo cause they couldn't afford payments no more.

The alleged attack wasn’t the first incident Al-Ansari recorded, he claims. According to Al-Ansari’s suit, Chahal frequently called black people “n---rs.” Al-Ansari’s lawsuit includes a transcript of a recording Al-Ansari allegedly made of one such exchange.
“We’re diverting into n---r topics,” Chahal is quoted as saying.
“You need to stop,” another man on the recording said, “drop the the n-word.” “I’m not going to stop the n-word. Dude, do you want me to go ahead and say n---r, n---r, n---r?” Chahal asked. The other man said he didn’t like the term. “I don’t give a gently caress. Martin Luther King might not like that, but he’s a n---r, too,” Chahal allegedly said.

LOL if the rank and file employees think they're getting moved in to the tower. It'll be for execs, sr. management and sales people. Sorry coders, you'll still need to ride a bus like the rest of the losers

What sick is when a show is good but get ruined cause you want nothing to do with its fan base. See Rick and Morty, Firefly, YOSPOS, etc.

I'm lucky enough that my job allows me to do what I enjoy doing for money but also let's me work from home so I can enjoy family time.

I feel bad for the family that see their kid maybe 20 minutes a day because they're some high powered exec.

Aren't there towns already experimenting with ubi in Canada? How'd that go?

How does ubi not get immediately eaten up by landlords raising prices (since everyone can now afford 20k more)or some other fuckery?

Someone walk me through how ubi works here. I thought everyone just got x dollars a year for whatever they wanted. Anything they make above that is gravy (plus taxed).

E: nevermind, I saw the discussion. So basically we can expect some inflation at the low end but someone making 160k a year this really makes no difference to them.
