pervs are often the canaries in the coal mine when it comes to the economy

When we sold at the swap meet I could see hard times coming.
When people had money they would buy stuff.
When times got tight, they would walk past. They were looking for bargains, but had no spare cash for trivialities. 

Times are tough, you have no cash to throw at strippers because it's going into your gas tank.

You'd think strippers would start offering Coupons or better deals, huh? 

But you're right..........people tend to tighten their purse strings when forced to. THAT is an excellent time to delve deeply into what they do spend money on, though.

I almost got into a heated row with a co-worker over welfare and food stamps.........but they admitted to slightly agreeing with me on just how many irresponsible parents there are in the world. (I think they may be one to some degree themselves)

After the Uvalde shooting, parents like me grapple with a cruel police Catch-22
For many Black people, the idea of policing as a means of protection is a fallacy born of the privilege of whiteness.

Had rewards expiring so I filled up. $1 off per gallon.
$63 for 12 gallons

Iresponsible?
How?

In connection to food stamps?

Because there are conversations to be had over modern parents.

Like a kid in Vegas arrested for sexually assaulting a teacher. 
My sister found a discussion on reddit about a teacher being beat up by a student in camera.  Why didn't the school stop it? Because they have to show the kid was doing it. That the little angel wasn't being falsely accused by the school.

We have swung from my day where parents called in believed the school to the parents believe the school is exaggerating, their angel would never do that!

It's currently $4.25 here

Irresponsible. Let's start with not being financially ready even before pregnancy happens. Then let's move onto unmarried or just not being a good solid marriage? offering stability from the get go. A home owned beforehand?

Food stamps is just another sign and opportunity to unimpress. YES, people need help sometimes.........but their entire lives? And then they abuse that help? Don't look to improve? stretch those tax dollars farther?

In many ways modern parenting is kinda better........but like so many things, it just goes too far. Too ridiculous. Irresponsible.

Yep, like those cops.....the schools and teachers have been asked to do too much now, as well. Just saw a headline with a principal being fired for dragging a 'special needs' kid thru the halls. My guess? Uncooperative kid. Guess what? In my day.....the KID was the person in trouble.

Exactly. And YOU KNOW those parents are not only lying to themselves, they're lying to their kids. So they're not really parenting at all. So what's the point in all this BS? We all know it's just gonna turn out crappy.

A coworker with 3 kids by 2 or 3 husbands kept pestering me why I didn't have kids. She said if you're waiting until you can afford it, you will never have kids.

My mother-in-law defended her granddaughter having kids on welfare. "She's a good mother!" I pointed out the welfare issue. Didn't matter. I pointed out I stopped at 1. Shut up.  She could have all the kids she wanted. This is the one who's husband had a vasectomy because he was stressed over money issues.

Her goal in life was to be an at home mother. She wasn't going to work like her mother!

You hate the Capitalism stuff.
Those at the top don't mind our tax dollars going to welfare because those are their future employees. Look how damned worried Elon Musk is about it. Bezos still thinks there are thousands of workers out there. Musk knows otherwise & is worried who will work in his factories in a decade.

As if it's anyone's business why you don't have kids?.....or have more kids?

I remember my Gramma and others telling me another kid wasn't that much more expensive......but that was back in the 60s, when it didn't cost $200,000 to keep up with the Joneses' kids. She had 16

The poor guy was forced to snip himself just to stop these SELFISH breeders. Cuz that's what they are....selfish.

I guess she didn't buy into that argument that being a mother is the toughest job in the world? 

Welfare is not capitalism......and it's not teaching people how to be better under capitalism.

With the rising costs of wages and everything else, future employees will soon enough be all robots. THEN WHAT?

There are thousands of non-working people, millions even. But high quality workers? Not so much   We can't even get people to show up to interviews.....that THEY requested in the first place.

Newsom Tests Positive For Covid Just 10 Days After His Second Booster Shot

Funny someone got sick?

My kid caught it.
We saw Northman for my birthday & said he did not want me to get it even though I am boosted (had the 2nd first part of May). 

So it's not necessarily a lark.

Isn't it like 2 weeks or so to be at potency? So 10 is shy?
And which did he go with?
J&J is crap.
Pfizer is also not that great.
Moderna is twice as powerful as Pfizer.

C'mon, merh. You'd laugh if Trump got an STD. I can laugh at Mr. It's OK for me to dine out, but not my constituents getting covid.

How did they do with it? Worst flu-like experience ever? Or something just a bit of a mild inconvenience?

It's been 3 years. It's a lark and so much more.

Do you think a FOIA report will ever detail all of the negative episodes people have had? Like they have on Fauci and his shady dealings?

Look at you.
All pissed off at the man taking the precautions.
Woman take drugs that can cause cancer or whatnot?
No problem.

That mother job thing came up in the working mom era to make at home moms seem more valuable.

Dude, minimum wage has been kept low for decades I. The name of savi g a buck. When I was a newlywed, it took 2 incomes to survive even with no kids & none of your goddamned keeping up with the Joneses attitude. To pay rent, have 2 cars, phone (not a cell)

It was STUPID of them to ship jobs overseas to save a buck. Ford knew pay the workers well enough to buy the product, free advertising. Who is going to buy the manufacturer's crap if no one has money?

Dude, get off that goddamned 47% shit.

www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/remember-47-percent-who-pay-no-income-taxes-they-are-not-who-you-think

For some, the number came to symbolize a class of entitled takers who lived their lives getting government benefits while contributing nothing to society. They were this century’s version of Ronald Reagan’s welfare queens. That never was who the 47 were (after all, nearly all of them did pay some taxes). But the implication was clear.

Age and non-payers

Now, Don Fullerton of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Nirupama Rao of the University of Michigan have taken a deeper dive into the 47 percent (now 44 percent according to TPC estimates) Their findings, published in the June edition of the National Tax Journal here and summarized in TaxNotes here (paywall) are fascinating:

The likelihood of not paying federal income tax is closely correlated to age: If you are very young or (especially) very old, you are far less likely to pay income tax than if you are working age. Only 11 percent of those age 25-55 do not pay federal income tax while more than 80 percent of those age 75 or older are non-payers.
Relatively few people are persistent non-payers. Among those of prime working age who do not pay federal income tax in any given year, nearly one-third will do so for only one year. Almost 6 in 10 will be paying income tax within three years, and just one-in-eight are non-payers for a decade or more.

So what?
Your panties in a bunch that retired people aren't working?
They haven't earned retirement?

Dude, my husband gave me gonorrhea back in the early 80s. 
Twice.
We were told no sex for 2 weeks but the asshole went & did it with someone thinking nothing would happen.

I am willing to bet Donnie has had something like that in his stupid lifetime.

Our restrictions have been lifted for a couple months now. Almost no one but the old farts are wearing masks.

So yeah.

The gal at the laundromat Thursday was saying she'd never get vaccinated. Trusts her body. 
Great til it ducks you over 

1 million deaths is a lark?

He's not your governor.
Worry about your own politician.
I am dropping my ballot off Tuesday 
Guess who I voted for?

I didn't vote for Alvarez who lobbied to help SDGE raise their damned rates.
I voted for the current governor.

You are using the avatar so you are attached to it. 
Its like saying it's not wring for a guy to masturbate during a zoom meeting because the women could just not look & they aren't actually there.
