Georgian heritage. The redcoats are back in force and need to be driven out again.

Supply Side Jesus says they should just lift themselves up by their bootstraps.

Misquoting the Constitution in a transparent attempt at justifying Constitutional violations?

Why does this sound familiar?

Good. As they should.

Unfortunately, this age-old folk wisdom just isn’t true any more.

Near Los Angeles (and many/most big cities these days) even “fixer-upper””starter” homes cost $1,000,000.

5% down ($50k) would result in a monthly mortgage payment of $7,939.88 which more than twice my rent payment, which is already high.

And saving is nearly impossible given the rate at which the basic costs of living (including rent) have skyrocketed in recent decades.

Am millennial… xenniel or “elder millennial to be exact… I have completely given up on ever owning a home or being able to retire. Short of some major acts of public disruption at unprecedented, economy-toppling, billionaire-eating scale, my entire generation - and those after us - are fucked.

I can make impossible burgers on my pellet smoker - smash or pub style - and they are indistinguishable from lean beef. High heat sear and a bit of wood smoke is the trick. And MSG.

I have never been anywhere close to that successful with Beyond, and not for lack of trying. ☹️

I don’t know how people stomach the Beyond stuff. I’d rather go with the old school soy alternatives than Beyond; their textures are just so weird and off-putting, and they always taste wrong.

Impossible is unbelievably good in a lot of applications, though. If they could get their prices down, I’d eat their products a lot more often. Need to try their dogs, though.

Look at the illegitimate, corrupt, terrorists in SCOTUS currently ruling this country by fascist fiat.

Warned? Do you promise?

You’re thinking of Jesus.

These are Christians. They’re the exact opposite.

Thanks. That’s precisely why I’m wondering. By their token I’m “independent” as a NPA… but I’m NPA because there isn’t really a home for leftists in American politics.

What do they mean by “independents”? Are we talking NPA, AIP, or both?

Same. Everything goes to essentials like rent, food, and utilities. I’ve given up on ever being able to buy a home for my family.

The economy is so bad that student loans are just another drop in a very big, very full bucket.

I feel like calling them “assholes” unfairly defames assholes, but even “murderous fascist monsters” doesn’t adequately convey their sheer, staggering violence and inhumanity.

They are supposed to stop it looooong before it gets to this stage. Have one or more companies formed powerful trusts that give them significant power over a market? Break them apart and bust them open.

Instead, we twiddle our thumbs while bootlicking white knites tell you it’s not a monopoly because there are TWO trusts cornering entire markets.

It’s madness.

Vile. I hope those students sue those bigoted, genocidal pigs into the dirt.

I think it’s possible to be both a Zionist (Zionist-lite?) AND opposed to mass murder and genocide… including that of the native Palestinian population.

…which means they were intentionally overpriced to begin with.

Way to bury the lede, AP.

No. It is still a controlled substance. They have merely lowered it’s classification rather than DE-classifying it entirely, which is what they should have done.
