ranbo das posted:The guy in question is from Puerto Rico and only moved to the continental US for college. He's definitely a minority. And if it's illegal for low skill positions, it would be illegal for high skill positions too I am having trouble finding words small enough to make this clear, so focus really really hard on sounding them out, okay? It is always illegal. It is not always punished. Improper hiring practices get punished when someone discriminated against has the means to not only hire a lawyer, but to weather the blacklisting they'll get from their industry for speaking up. A company filtering minorities out at the resume stage rarely gets caught, because there's no proof without an investigation. A company saying/doing blatantly illegal things when hiring low-income workers rarely gets caught, because there's no proof without an investigation. A company saying/doing blatantly illegal things when hiring high-income workers sometimes gets caught, when the worker is in a position to risk pursuing it.

Ornamented Death posted:Nah, I know it's bad. I don't even disagree with TB most of the time. However, when it's pointed out where she's wrong (it's not illegal to ask somewhere where they live as part of the interview process), she flips out and doubles down on everything. If she was so certain that the guy asking her that question was doing so to discriminate against her, she could have at least sought advice from any number of non-profits that exist to serve as watchdogs for such discrimination. Instead she threw up her hands and said "welp I'm too poor to fight this!" It is illegal. It is. Multiple people have cited multiple sources showing you it's illegal. And you saying discrimination must be okay if the victim can't fight back is breathtakingly evil. You are human garbage. I know all you'll do is just continue your tantrum that some disagreeable facts snuck through your hood's eyeholes, but your attitude is psychotically inhumane and minorities are going to continue to get uppity and insist that crimes against them are wrong no matter how much you throw fits about it. If you don't like being called a moron try not being so ignorant you veer into literal evil. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Residency Evil posted:I don't think Blue Apron is inherently BWM. You're paying for the luxury of not having to think too hard about what to cook, good ingredients, a wide variety of food, and not having to spend time at the computer finding recipes, making shopping lists, and spending too much time at the supermarket. Yeah it's not my thing but when weighing the expense you should think of it as an alternative to takeout, not an alternative to cooking from scratch. It seems like most people try it once or twice to build up enthusiasm for cooking and then go off on their own anyway. As cooking classes it's pretty cheap. Probably not a sustainable business model without loyal customers though.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:Alright here's a food/money question - how the gently caress do those $1/day food budget rice and bean people eat any FRUIT? My coworker is super smug about how he and his wife spend less than $150 a month on food and I have no clue how you would ever consume anything fruit-like on that budget. They mostly don't, the rice n' beans people (who are usually prescribing that for others, not doing it themselves) don't bother to think about what's needed for a healthy diet. If you're actually rice & beans poor you just hope things get better before you get sick from malnutrition.

Ethnic markets can be good for produce deals too. Frustratingly, farmer's markets aren't, at least inside a city. I go every week and every week I'm surprised anew that the produce costs 4x what it does in the store across the street.

Cockmaster posted:Well, what does he expect them to do when they already have three kids? I'm pretty sure most cultures frown upon giving kids up for adoption just so you can retire in your '40s. Yeah and he has some advantages that aren't universal, like living in a location/climate that allows him to live car-free relatively easily. His advice would be "just move," which is both not cheap and structurally impossible once you hit tragedy-of-the-commons adoption rates. And then of course there's the ablebodiedness to be able to bike everywhere, and the good luck to have a healthy family that doesn't need expensive medical care. And he makes like 400k a year, so doing well financially is actually not that much of a feat. Frugality can become an obsession like anything else and it has the unfortunate side effect of turning people into assholes. I've had a lot of fun nights out ruined by friends circling the block waiting for a free spot to open up instead of just paying a few bucks for parking and getting on with enjoying life. Money is a tool for obtaining security and pleasure, and after a certain point saving becomes hoarding.

LLCoolJD posted:Bob Barker's Beauties on The Price Is Right have had more luck protecting their interests than NFL cheerleaders, but I suspect that many of them (the NFL cheerleaders) still do alright. Former Virginia Governor McDonnell is married to a former Redskins cheerleader. On topic: they were prosecuted in federal court for being BWM/ethics! Yeah pro cheerleading sort of functions as a weird finishing school for professional Babes. A lot of them go on to do spokesmodel stuff, kind of like beauty queens. A lot of overlap between those two groups probably.

They don't want to be extorted for film of their event and they don't want the owner to profit off its sale, either. Well it's BWHistory then

Christ this is bleak. Disability effectively functions as mincome for a wide swath of the country, and I don't begrudge them that at all, but what a hellish life. I don't even really see a "candles" in their budget, since even cable TV doesn't seem like an extravagance when you've got nothing else to enjoy in life.

Power of Pecota posted:I'm confused how $600/month for electricity breaks down (as someone who's only ever paid electricity bills for apartments with 0-2 roommates) but I'm guessing that has a lot of stuff rolled in with it. The article says that's with some late payments, and the fees for that get steep. If it's trash, water, & power all combined like is common some places it could easily be over a hundred a month even if they don't have AC.

BEHOLD: MY CAPE posted:I see what you are saying but in my mind it is just journalism to point out that among the many things occurring in the lives of these people are four divorces at age 55, prescription opiates filled before utility bills are paid, and $300 cell phone bills. I think the bills are mostly high because they're late. Not ideal, but not the same BWM as having a plan that's actually that expensive every month. The divorces and the opiates are just sad, and one of those things that seems easy to avoid in theory but in practice probably isn't.

The Great Depression was an outlier in that you could do everything right and still be really poor. Come on, if you want to call doing drugs a "choice," I disagree with you, but whatever. But you have no idea who left who. That's just lovely. A father can leave whenever he wants and trust that society will just scold the mother for being single.
