Being born a white guy also counts for quite a bit, too, NGL.
Multiple roommates. Ramen noodles. Near public transportation. Respect to the people who do whatever it takes.
I worked as a bartender. Bar-back. $2.15 an hr plus whatever tips got shared. Worked at a retail store. Never had benefits at any job.
Had 5 roommates in a 3 br apt. Ate lousy food out of cans and ate a ton of peanuts and shit food at happy hour. Had credit cards ripped up. Etc.
But I learned a ton. Taught me what was right and wrong about running a business by watching my bosses and their bosses
Yeah I know. It was much easier then, when inflation was 15 pct and national unemployment was 10 %. I know I was fortunate when I finally got fired from the store, and had to start my own business with zero cash. Bill collectors everywhere.
Even luckier when I found my first customer so I could pay my bills
But I recognize it’s so much harder today.
Which is why I respect the people who are willing to do what it takes to get started

I swear to god, every electoral race in America right now is between a qualified candidate, and someone who wants to make it illegal for women to read.

As we learn thru growing older, our capitalist system ensures that an ordinary middle class person dies without a penny left. What money is left after paying for education, insurance, and healthcare is efficiently skimmed off by hedge fund owned nursing homes. Appalling. Cheers.

I've been banging this drum for quite some time and taken a lot of nasty comments from people. I do not care. When you willfully burden the children you profess to love by refusing to make accommodations for your advanced age, you are telling the world that four walls mean more to you than your kids and grandkids. DON'T DO THIS TO THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU.
I've begged my elderly parents to move in with us. No downsize to a safer house. No. Move closer to us. No.
Now Dad's in the hospital, Mom needs a ride home and someone to stay overnight, and I have to work tomorrow and get my kids ready for school.
This was entirely preventable. I've offered every reasonable solution, and they've refused them all. Older generations, you cannot insist on doing everything your way and then expect your adult children to rearrange their lives to make it work…

One of the top ten performances in history, and all she does is stand there and sing—no dancers, no nose rings, no wild gimmicks, no auto-tune.
I don’t think the crowd realizes how lucky they are to hear this live.

Michael Whatley refuses to criticize the President for threatening to withhold funding for Camp Lejeune veterans affected by contaminated water on base.
The President said he will only pay vets if Republicans win the midterm elections.

Fun tidbit from tonight's "Make Stuff Cost Less" event in Raleigh:
Former Gov. Roy Cooper has "DEM GOV" on the back of his Jordans
They are Democratic blue, not Duke blue
