The US’s incredible levels of prosperity back then was essentially a unique period of time created by extremely specific circumstances (i.e. the US was THE superpower, and the primary economic force on the planet for decades). There’s a reason the ‘baby boom’ happened then. It was literally a unique slice of world history.

It is unrealistic to expect to ever return to that level. Comparisons between now and then are all disingenuous for that reason.

Instead of framing the changes we want to make in terms of ‘but we had X back then’, they should simply be framed in terms of what improvements are beneficial, feasible, and sustainable, in the present.

Jerk off before you write your comment next time.

Mailing someone more letters than they’re capable of replying to is not equivalent to, nor a component of, gaining access to the inside of their home.

Probably because they qualified it by making an excuse for themself instead of just owning the error without ‘strings attached’.

No thanks, I value my time.

Youtube acting like it has anything to offer

This is weapons-grade copium, there is no other platform with even 1% of the content on YouTube.

The 10% of the time when it’s both folded and unfolded must be sublime.

A lot of the gay elders i know are tired of history being changed when they were actually there. Unfortunately the biggest myth is that [Marsha P. Johnson] started the stonewall riot and kicked off the lgbt movement.

But in fact she wasn’t even there when it started. She also referred to herself as a drag queen/transvestite… not trangender. Sylvia Rivera is the one who is trans not mpj.

If anything it was likely a big butch lesbian who started it.

There wasnt even a brick that started the riots. A lot was happening at once, but it most like started when cops began harassing Butch Lesbian Stormè DeLarverie and someone, no one is sure who, stepped in to her defense. Violence broke out and next thing we know, we have the stonewall riots. Maybe bricks were thrown with Molotovs, but no one can be credited with doing anything first except maybe DeLarverie asking for help.

I’ve never witnessed a man beating on his on girlfriend/wife, so domestic violence isn’t real

But you did say it. Everyone knows what the word is. You went out of your way for literally no reason, to accomplish nothing but making people wonder why you did such a pointless thing.

Provided your darkest hour is within 3 years or so, lol

If the weather is too shitty to bike, why would I want to put a delivery driver in those conditions.

I mean, I really don’t want to bike in the rain, but that’s no big deal for someone in a car, lol.

The fact that even with the fees charged to the restaurant and to the customer, the majority of these apps still aren’t even profitable, lol.

Yes. Those people consider things like this part of the “cost of living”, not the luxury that it is.

On average, people have more of an issue overspending than they do underearning. That’s why even among people making six figures, 1 in 4 of them live “paycheck to paycheck”, which people assume to mean ‘barely make enough to make ends meet’, but what more commonly means ‘deliberately chooses not to save/spends every dollar earned’.

Okay, now it’s $74. Now what?

Using ‘retard’ as a slur, not only for people with intellectual disabilities

That’s actually the one group of people I’ve never seen anyone call that, lol.

Almost certainly the same amount. When was the last time you saw a state, that wasn’t considered a swing state, flip during a Presidential election from the candidate expected to win it to the other?

Not necessarily, not in the US’s system for President, at least. If you don’t live in a swing state, your vote is literally a waste of time. Doesn’t matter who you support or don’t.

This seems reasonable, honestly.

Where with all the animals if all went vegan now?

Why are the vegans sounding more like cavemen than the meat-eaters?
