  29. Not ANYWHERE! People are lucky to find a studio efficiency in most places on a minimum wage job let alone a full single-bedroom. And if you are in a two bedroom you probably have at least one roommate. And that's even in the satellite cities to places like NYC and SFC to use two of the ones they singled out. From my own recent research I thought that it was pretty much impossible anymore to find a studio apartment for less than $500 a month anywhere on the grid unless you know someone. This just reinforces that belief. I see more and more people becoming vehicle nomads in the years to come. People are already renting closets or garage space to people so they have a physical address for legal purposes but who are living in their van under a bridge down by the river! Or traveling from state to state and living super cheap in state parks and national forests and praying their vehicles don't break down or get stolen. But those are the lucky few who are able to navigate the razor edge having enough money to keep moving but not enough to afford a little piece of land to settle on and grow roots. Interstate Nomads - coming soon to a rest stop near you. In fact, they're probably already there! That being said, Hawaii and DC are special places with special problems. We've all joked about how swampy and back-room-deal corrupt DC is because a certain degree of corruption seems to be built in to whatever ruling system is in place and shady real estate is just part and parcel of all that foolishness. But we idealize Hawaii as Paradise. Sadly, paradise by the square foot doesn't come cheap. And in a Capitalist culture economic losers fall hard to a bottom that is ugly to see and horrible to try to survive. When the place that is happening is paradise, the visuals look even worse than somewhere less paradisey - pardisish? Nice. I wasn't going to say it, but since they went there -- I'm going to start asking this question regularly - with the relentless life-is-fucked narrative from all sides is there any real surprise at the rising rate of suicides? But I am always a bit surprised when wealthy successful people off themselves. I knew he had demons, but Bourdain was a sad shock. Depression will fuck you up!

  40. Username [Redacted] - Dude, most of us that chose to watch this know that the same way American is often used to indicate the archetypal white anglo saxon protestant from North America, Mexican is used to group together all people of indian, spanish and portuguese ancestry from throughout the Americas. It's the reason you see other national ethnic groups applied as a prefix to American. Even the poor Canadians probably get labeled as Americans unless they say about or eh? as in "Don't call me an American! I'm Canadian Eh?!!". It's all racist as fuck, but until we choose to stop describing and dividing each other by our ancestry, Mexican is both the people of Mexico proper and a racially charged term to describe (usually in a derogatory way) any other person who isn't white, black, asian or middle eastern - though plenty of the people in Montana and most of the United States probably couldn't tell the difference between a person from the middle east or a person from latin america. And that's partly because there are plenty of racist people and partly because there are so few minorities of any ethnicity for anyone to interact with let alone have as a friend in places like Montana, Idaho, West Texas or pretty much any rural area in any state. There are exceptions, but not many. Joining the military is the first experience a lot of young people from states and rural areas with very few non-white (other than native american) populations have with a wide range of people from other ethnic backgrounds. I don't trust the established order to do it, but having a universal period of national service that ALL of us have to serve in, from graduation or when someone is ready to complete a GED until they are 21, would be one of the best things to actually help us learn about our neighbors and the bigger world and actually start to Make America Great Again, but Donny and the Cons don't really want to do that - not for everyone. But that's a different post for a different day.
