Most of Oregon hates Portland these days, and I grew up in Portland. But I don’t think secession would be up to a vote, it would be decided by violence like it always has been. That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be successful, but I think Portland would still be burned to the ground.
Oh I can see it. I just don’t give a fuck.
As a guy with nothing, I really couldn’t give much less of a shit about retirement accounts and the ultra rich losing money. And I already make shit wages and live on almost nothing. The only thing that is going to really hurt is the continued hyperinflation.
California’s food industry relies heavily on water from out of state, if those rivers dried up because flow got restricted to a trickle, it would be bad for their industry. None of this would happen without violent conflict though. Remember when the north burned the south to the ground? That is our historical precedent for how to respond to secession.
We’ve been heading there for a long time and much of the rest of the world has been feeding into the two-sides divide. It’s easier to see when you already loathe both sides for different reasons. But the US has been a powerhouse many would love to see taken down. Generations of work towards that are paying off, and the US working class will suffer the most.
General managers are paid enough. Just be the GM, duh.
I feel like this whole thread was a setup for this. Bravo!
Somehow that weird paddle cycle is bouyant without a balloon.
It’s total BS but it’s not like the previous administration wasn’t doing the same thing to a lesser degree. It’s documented. It’s one of 100 reasons I left Reddit 1 1/2 yrs ago. Propaganda and content manipulation sucks no matter who is pulling the strings. It goes way farther back too.
I’m in both of these pictures. But my house was the cheapest 1br I could find in a bad part of St. Louis around 1998. I’m in a different house now, still too small for my family, and neither my wife or I have been able to afford to go to the dentist in about 20 years.
I will take your windows 10 PC and give you a keychain made of DDR2 RAM in trade.
It might be higher than 99%. But not quite 100.
I did the cigar thing for about a year. After that I went to a pack of cigarettes a month. About a year of that and I finally quit. I smoked for about fifteen years but I haven’t smoked tobacco in over fifteen years.
I did that once.
I don’t know, I’m tired of double standards. If women can wear skin tight clothing, men should be able to have their cocks on display underneath thin stretchy material too. By this standard, boxers are modest.
Wild boar are invasive, violent and destructive. Our local conservation groups practically beg you to hunt them, and boar season is 51 weeks a year. If you’re going to hunt pig, you might as well eat it. But farm raised pigs definitely taste better.
Maybe on Reddit. If there’s one here I’d guess it gets one post a month or less. But don’t go to Reddit.
If they’re against wealth consolidation, why did they willingly come under a larger corporation? Hypocrites and sellouts.
You must start training early to gain this skill.
I’m actually semi prepared for this. My shit paying job is working for a non-profit that distributes food to people who need it, and honestly those who work there have the first access to the resources if they are in dire need. If all of that were to fall apart, and it could, my history is in working in food service and frankly I can get a food service job as well as anyone else. I’m super qualified. It might pay shit, but if anybody can do it I can and somebody will be doing that job as long as any jobs exist.
If the economy collapses completely and there are no jobs, I’m kind of prepared for that too. I’ve got a .22 rifle with a suppressor and a crap load of ammo that I can feed my family with for at least a couple of years feeding on squirrels and cats and dogs and fuck it humans if I have to. Not that I want to eat any of those things but damn it I’m going to survive. I’m not someone who advocates poaching or breaking laws, but when it comes to survival everything goes out the window. I know how to garden too. I have crazy amounts of filtration capability for water also, not to mention you can just boil it and as long as we’re not dealing with irradiated Fallout water, I’ll be fine. I could live the next year just in a quarter of the camping gear that I own, no matter what the weather. Birds make good eating too. If everyone’s money becomes completely valueless, I’m better off than most.
