  2.  @commonomics  and yet I have the capacity to read and verify statistics produced by people that actually live in places I haven't visited. This simple ability, developed through some education allows me to make fascinatingly accurate estimations of things in places I've never been. Mathematics! Try some. And the reported wealth perceived wealth disparity between OECD Nations and their non member economic peers is higher in the US than any other country. This selection of OECD and OECD economic peers represents the majority of humanity. So yeah. I do know better.

  3. It is not the individual billionaire, but the status of billionaire itself that is inherently evil. You can create some kind of platonic absolute of human behavior that would be incorruptible and would only act with the best of intention, and it is still legitimate to say that no one should have that much power concentrated in one location in the first place.

  4. takes a quick glance at your YT profile White guy with a boatload of pokémon videos and incelosphere "motivational" videos. Sounds on brand. You're had the military, you had the trades, AND you had everything all the mentioned women had access to. No one likes you not because you're a nice guy that never finishes first but because you're the kind of guy that comes on here and complains about having all the advantages of being white and being male and things still not being handed to you. You started In two of the three most advantaged classes in the West and you STILL ended up you. ... I mean nothing I'm going to say is going to reach you, but dude your life is your penance.

  5. What makes people from the Midwest more real than anyone else? What makes their lives more normal? Let's see, you've got a less than a year old account in which the majority of your posting on this channel is complaining about masking. Yeah, you're just another Roman salute lover.

  8. @matthewcooper3218    1. Very little. We split bills by ratio of income, but pass that, it's her money not mine. 2. Using census and CDC data, we are both above average as far as physical fitness, me more so than her. 3. Marriage is excellent. 4. Yes 5. No (And there was ample opportunity, we were a dual enlisted marriage when we were in our respective services) and 6. Yes. Now about that data. Where does it come from, and what measure were taken to develop it? How rigorous were those studies? Can you cite the papers? How deep did you get into the methodology? Sample size and such. Was it controlled across race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, etc, etc. Because I actually don't particularly buy into some very poorly supported assumptions made by a collection of cherry picked "research" that have sample sizes of "two dozen college kids." Or "The 30 people we could get to pick up the phone." It is not terribly difficult to believe that someone could find themselves in the trades because of their military experience, and someone else could find themselves in tech because of their military experience and still have a happy and healthy functioning marriage on the other end of it. And I have found that when you dig into a lot of these research, it comes up rather thin, at best.

  10. A relatively tiny minority of mostly white Gen X and millennials will inherit a portion of wealth. Fundamentally the rest of everyone else won't.

  11.  @cacovie  Well, With that kind of careful reasoned, humane argument, I can't imagine that you're deep inside of that well educated portion of your age group. That's going to miss you, so let me try this another way: someone is bad at math is you, would have done badly no matter what generation they've been born into. Millennials and Zoomers are being screwed. But you, in particular? You're just. Not. That. Smart.

  23. The major issue with lotteries is that it gives the state an easy out on not providing funding for an area. If there was no lottery, you are right that there would still be a significant amount of gambling. But the state would now be obligated to meet an obligation it had met in the past and then usually excuse of a lottery to not fund.

  26. ​ @Bleilock1  nothing proves your point. You have no point to prove. What we do know is an absolute fact is that you have been on YouTube with this account for 14 years The overwhelming majority of your posting history (easily available after touching on your icon) demonstrates that your sole contribution is attention trolling in comments. While the human being you propose to judge has objectively delivered a useful set of skills to provide resilience and protection against many of the difficulties face by everyone from the working poor on to her own socioeconomic class. Which allows you to be dismissed out of hand.

  27. Out of curiosity, assuming it is so terrible in those cities (And I have every reason to believe that it is, it's a persistent source of grief in Atlanta Georgia, I can only imagine how bad it is in Athens, Greece.) why isn't the critical amount of pressure being placed upon local politicians or state politicians/federal politicians to do something about that? I'm not blaming the people that live there so much is trying to get insight since I don't live in those countries.

  28.  @apitxada  we've started to experiment with an alternate solution here in the United States. It's so far only been applied to medical insurance, and I'm pretty suspicious of it working due to lack of engagement and high cost of adoption. But I got to admit, on a purely emotional level the first attempt was very satisfying. We'll see how it turns out. I worked pretty hard to be able to afford what travel I now can, and I desperately want to see some places, including your country and city because their stories and their present are both meaningful to me. I don't want that to come at the expense of making you or your neighbor's life miserable. It seems kind of shit that the solution is just not to come, but it's also shit to throw my hands up and not try to be part of the solution. Seems rather shit every way, TBH. I hope the best for y'all regardless. Thanks for replying.

  29. He has the power to do whatever he is allowed to get away with. And 166 million US citizens of voting age decided he had all the power he needed to do whatever he wants. The 77 million who voted for him and the 89 who didn't give a damn enough to vote. Courts wouldn't stop him, politicians certainly weren't going to stop him, and 2/3 + decided that he was a better option than one of the most qualified tickets in the last 50 years. I really hope everyone who decided to stay home and not do the right thing suffers at least as much as anyone else. Of course hope the worst for those that supported him but the ones that couldn't be bothered to vote against him? There's literally nothing bad I couldn't wish on them. You don't always win. The good guys don't always win. People spent decades stuck in Spain after Franco solidified power. Then he died. And life to an extent went on. Everyone got to pretend like the dictatorship was just some crazy thing that happened. Everyone who collaborated, everyone who was a active part, every francoista. United States refuses to embrace any kind of solidarity with anybody who's not like them. We do this across the board. It's not just whites that do it, though they're probably the ones that do it the most. But there is no broad sense of solidarity across any majority of the United States. So we're going to burn, because we could not be bothered to pull together.

  30. Can you explain to me how people do that, and can be otherwise considered good people? Cuz that seems wasteful to a level that it has to be malignantly intentional maybe I'm missing something.

  40.  @HosCreates  Those apprenticeship times are regional, and vary from state to state, but yeah there's definitely a training time for them. Law enforcement requires an academy, But I make roughly what your spouse does as an officer in the Metro Atlanta area. I have a degree, but one is not required. I literally worked beside people who are 22 years old who started this career with no further education, two people in their 50s with Masters degrees. Sanitation, also requires no previous training. Pay is less than what I'm making now, but it is a living wage in the Metro Atlanta area. However plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and HVAC all will outpace my pay scale over tiime.
