  1. I hope my fellow Americans realize that this is not normal. Republican Party hates regulations and workers’ rights. They are to blame as usual

  2. Not all spies are like James Bond, who are intelligent and rational ideologues. Sometimes they are just sad, depressed, alcoholic, in debt, but the info they give is all the same

  3.  @frenchonion4595  where do you live? 150k for a house is cheap. Flyover?

  4. The land is not being efficiently used. Instead of single family homes, municipalities should build giant condominiums or apartments for rent.

  5.  @useridcn even mediocre college grads are better than most of our US citizens, a majority of US adults don’t have college education. We should be welcoming these immigrants especially skilled immigrants. Not driving them away due to bigotry.

  6. It sucks and it’s not restricted to Brooklyn, New York City.

  7.  @V2RocketScientist  Republicans deregulated the industry along with the Internet. South Korea and Japan are rich countries comparable to the US, and yet their cell phone and Internet plans are many times cheaper. They are government regulated there, to ensure competition and low prices

  8. This is why we need gun control

  9. It means the schools are funded

  10.  @kgal1298  I am inclined to agree. We need a new system, a more equitable system. Perhaps other countries are proof. But then that begs the questions, where’s the money coming from besides property taxes? And what now becomes of the property taxes?
    10
  11. Libertarians should go to college
    10
  12. Because Republicans and conservative voters are against the idea of a universal safety net for the public. They say no to universal healthcare, they say no to government housing, they say no to rehab for drugs, no to raising taxes-especially on the wealthy corporations, they say no to regulating business, raising the minimum wage, etc., it’s all their fault as are gun violence, Climate Change, etc.

  14. China is a belligerent nation that opposes democracy in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even from within. China is a horrible nation.

  19.  @Yandel21ableify  RV? RVs are not cheap. Not at all. And if you want to drive it around, it’s even more expensive

  20.  @basiltozer9078  debt includes mortage and car loans usually. So what’s the alternative to a mortage or car loan? Buying in cash? Not feasible for most people unless they want to be homeless, waste money renting, or walk to work.

  35. XRP RIPPLE TO MOON legal immigration is impossibly bottlenecked and should be made easier. Most would pass vetting but are barred by Congressional quotas. US should welcome immigrants not scorn them

  36. That is not true. Wages were high because of strong unions. When foreign competitors and automation took over, those rich union workers left Detroit and got new jobs in the suburbs.

  46.  @justotorres8970  permits are required across all states and municipalities. So what is your point?
    3
  47.  @alexipestov7002  every city in every state has similar restrictions. No proof that San Francisco has harder regulations to overcome. We don’t live in a free for all world where people build whatever they want without thought for consequence.

  49.  @prolific1518  how is Biden to blame?

  50.  @nicholasfield6127  You probably live in an area with a smaller economy, worse weather, worse schools, and worse culture. See the difference? San Francisco is expensive because it is desirable.

  52.  @4evertrue830  you likely can’t afford to live in San Francisco, so others with lots of money disagree with you and think it’s wonderful. it’s great because of the mild weather, big economy, lots of businesses and jobs, diversity, and attractive urban planning.

  53.  @thedavidj1996 don’t rent. Buy! Renting is for poor people. Buying is cheaper and gives you the property 😊

  54.  @RealestDave  what’s in Chicago? What about other cities like Vienna, Austria where government projects are proven to work well for the middle and working classes?

  55.  @Hexed_Precinct why? Just let them in and be permanent residents or citizens.
    3
  56.  @marcuslegion3654 that is a false equivalence. By 2020-2021 US had only a few thousand troops in Afghanistan, and their local, the local Afghan forces, were largely ineffective. There are no parallels to the parties fighting in the War in Ukraine. As well unlike Russia, US fought with restraint to avoid killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure. And critically, US was not fighting a conventional war as Russia is, it was fighting an insurgency, which is much harder to win than the conventional warfare as what’s happening in Ukraine. Your comparison between Russia and the US is flawed.

  62. Democrats have for decades been saying “hey look Europe has better work life balance, we should be like them”. But too many weren’t thinking. They were fine to scorn the Democrats and vote for Republicans who kept holding them back.

  63.  @FuckTrumpFuckYouIfYouVoted4Him gas cars are bad. They are inefficient, pollutive, and now, more expensive. You can get a used Tesla Model 3 for only ~$20k, and it’s just a few years old and about 50k miles. Also, gas is heavily subsidized. You are getting cheap gas because people like me are paying for it with my taxes.
    2
  64.  @nicholasgutierrez9940 Tesla isn’t a meme. It’s the best most balanced and effective electric car.
    2
  65.  @holmiumh gas is only cheap because of subsidies, you and I pay billions a year to give poor conservatives cheap oil and gas. Isn’t that a shame?
    2
  66.  @NomenClature-o8s where is the proof that under Trump we were exporting oil? Also, has it occurred to you that, this may be related to consumption reasons related to the COVID-19 Pandemic? And now that we’re out and the economy is growing, we need more oil of varying grades, hence, we may be importing?

  79. Both parties? Stfu. Republicans are more guilty. They supported SOPA, they abolished Net Neutrality, they deregulated the ISPs leading to monopolies. Don’t blame the Democrats
    2
  80.  @winstonsmith7801 the US cannot make peace in Ukraine, it is impossible. Russia refuses to withdraw and cease hostilities. Even if Ukraine surrendered to Russian demands and they keep some or all of their conquered territories, there’s no guarantee Russia won’t be back in the future, for more wars and aggression. Peace and prosperity for the good guys can only come if Russia is severely beaten and punished.

  81. That’s unique to the Gulf Coast though. Most coastlines are densely packed and desirable, Gulf Coast has issues like hurricanes

  82.  @gbenay do you have proof Ukraine had the choice to embrace the Minsk Agreement and chose not to? Was it a choice? Or a false choice?

  83. Why are you poor?

  84.  @buchhibabu751 i would gladly send my taxes to help Ukraine repel Russia. It is not only selfless but self-interested. Letting Russia win in Ukraine threatens the US very much.

  85.  @godogs89  where is the proof that red tape and corruption is the reason for expensive housing? Don’t you think corruption, being illegal, would be prosecuted if it occurred? All cities are expensive to live in, are all cities corrupt?
    2
  86.  @Patriot1790  the government didn’t destroy ISPs and telecommunications by touching it, it destroyed them giving corporations all the cards. BBC wrote an article on US Internet, cellular, and cable monopolies
    2
  87. Waste money on rents lol. Pretty sure index funds will not outpace your annual rent payments
    2
  88.  @RealestDave  high crime rate and drugs are problems that should be solved regardless. Other cities like Vienna are proof that housing built and regulated directly by the government is feasible. Besides my idea is about encouraging private developers to build big multi unit structures, not necessarily run by the government. A single family is en efficient and expensive, when multiple condos or apartments could be built instead.
    2
  89.  @TKUA11  it’s a cheaper option for people that they currently don’t have. And i think it’s more sustainable, efficient, social, and better for society. The suburbs/urban sprawl are bad by design, they isolate the elderly and the young. And they destroy nature and cause wasteful government.
    2
  90. Your whole goal in life is to make money. The only way to do that is to get it from other people. Unions are a way to help workers get more money. That’s all they are.

  157.  @acking1502  a degree in biotech is good too. It’s not necessary in my opinion though. I have a bachelor’s and associate’s in Environmental Science. My coworkers who did the same roles varied, some had only highschool and work experience, especially the older ones above age 30. Others had degrees in chemical engineering, biology, biotech, chemistry, in my opinion it really doesn’t matter as long as you get a bachelor’s of science or even better, in engineering.
    1
  158.  @acking1502  I am happy to offer insight. What is your bachelor’s degree in? Engineering is the strongest because it gives you lots of options beyond and within biotech. It is the most rigorous and lucrative major. Science in any field is good too, I’ve heard biology is the easiest of STEM degree, it has the least math. This is my experience working in Eastern Massachussets where there are lots of labs and biotech companies, and where pay tends to be higher across all industries. Other biotech hubs exist in the US, like around New York City, Raleigh, or San Francisco. Any major city will also usually have some sort of lab/biotech/biopharma site.
    1
  159.  @acking1502  if you think you can handle it, try for a master’s degree. Since you have an unrelated, non-STEM bachelor’s, you might need to take pre requisites, it depends on the school. But if your GPA was 3.0 or higher, and if you can ace your pre reqs, especially Calculus I and Calculus II, then in my opinion, a master’s degree in engineering is achievable. However, a master’s in biology will be easier, less of a shock, and will also serve you well, maybe it will be good enough. If I were you I would choose and think carefully. Consider how good a student you are, how good you are at math, at studying, not giving up, getting help, etc. If you can do it, you can well.

I make more than people who have years of experience and even have master’s degrees. I got more money for myself by job hunting and speaking to recruiters.

  183.  @angelgjr1999  I do not know the politics of HOAs however, I live in Massachusetts which is very Democratic and liberal. HOAs don’t have regulation outside of collecting maintenance fees for condominium buildings. So I presumed they exist politically in some way

  185.  @donnyramay2635  you could’ve bought a modest condo or apartment and then when your income was slashed you would’ve still had your property as a safety net and wouldn’t have become homeless. I think renting is a bad financial strategy for most people.

  195. Since Cold War ended the US tried to woo the Chinese regime and public with liberalism and free market wealth. It didn’t work, at least not on the government. The Chinese regime has only become more authoritarian and hawkish recently, threatening US allies, bolstering US’s enemies, committing civil rights abuses domestically and abroad. We wanted them to liberalize and be our ally. Maybe they saw it as poodle-ism. Who can say?

  213.  @burgerman101  apartment buildings are not always hideous, most people in cities live in apartments or condos. Or what about Vienna, Austria, where 60% of residents live in government housing for all? Is that hideous? All I’m suggesting is that if the government encouraged cities and towns to build more of those developments, with more compact and non-luxury units, then price for real estate and rents will fall to less-than ridiculous levels.
    1
  214.  @burgerman101  the solution may have been to build building somewhere else. And if you believe in conserving nature, then you should be in favor of apartment/condo buildings, since they require less space to house more people than single family homes. Perhaps your house is the problem and the building is the solution?

  222. RaFari1119 Bee people make do. Computer scientists make 90k out of college with a bachelor’s. If saving is difficult you can make cuts by living with parents or roommates. Buying cheap food, depositing money, and tracking purchases helps grow savings, then you can calculate how long it’ll take to save up and buy house. You could also move to where housing is cheap and where jobs are needed.

Russia therefore is lying, to obfuscate and whitewash its true reasons for invading Ukraine; to satisfy the corrupt agenda of Putin and his cronies, no matter how average Russian is affected.
