I’m willing to bet the payday is so he can get his money without selling the stock. If the stock is artificially inflated the balloon will pop eventually. He’s at least smart enough to know that.
Houston is one of the worst cities I’ve ever been to. Fuck you if you’re trying to walk anywhere, fuck you right in the heart. That includes if you’re walking to and from your car. massive truck
Also fuck you are you trying to drive? You fucking crazy?
I’ve hated only a small number of cities I’ve visited. Denver comes to mind, Los Angeles, Wichita Kansas, and if you took all the hate I have for those three cities, injected it with hgh and heroin, it would be a small shadow on the wall for the pure unadulterated rage I have for Houston Texas.
Gary Indiana wasn’t as hostile. Fucking Ferguson during the protests wasn’t as hostile. And I saw a carjacking 10 minutes after stepping off the fucking plane thé last time I was there.
Should be able to but actual implementation of that gets hairy fast.
It’s one of those things that doesn’t stand up to polarization. It works fine in a functional democracy, but it’s hard to call the US functional anymore.
See one party is doing it’s best to run a country with a Conservative government. I disagree but at least it’s respectable.
The other is doing it’s best to bring about a free market theocracy.
The Democrats assume the other guys are operating in good faith, and so happily follow along as everyone moves to the right.
We ask for healthcare and we give the biggest gift to the insurance companies in a century. We ask for student debt reform and we get a few handouts while millions of kids every year continue to sign up for predatory student loans. We ask that our children at least be safe in school, and crickets…
I’m not saying this is one guy’s fault, this is the result of a trend that’s been going on for decades. But the Democrats are attempting to curry votes from a group that will never support them and leaving the passionate base behind. And after January 6th I’m just left wondering why the fuck they’re negotiating with terrorists?
If nothing is getting done until you have a majority at least for the love of God, swing for the bleachers. Get people excited again.
It’s intentionally vague. Just about anyone you ask will tell you they’re middle class.
The fact is, there’s no such thing. It’s made up. It can be whatever you want it to be. The point of having everyone believe they’re middle class is so they always believe there’s someone lower than them, that things can get worse.
Most people are one missed paycheck away from not being able to pay for the roof over their head.
If you have to work to live, you’re working class. Same as the rest of us. There is no middle class.
More efficient manufacturing, falling battery costs and intense competition are lowering sticker prices for battery-powered models to within striking distance of gasoline cars.
Most Americans are perfectly fine with it as long as their cell phone works and there’s food on the table.
The number of us that are horrified by what America’s done to get where it is is vanishingly small.
Almost half of this country is about to vote for a racist tyrannical idiot because he says the quiet part loud. A sizable number of people aren’t committed to voting against the Cheeto tyrant. And a number of the people that are committed to voting against him aren’t all that upset about the atrocities committed in their name, for shit as stupid as access to fucking tropical fruit.
The business model is depending on card users accumulating interest. So they give you perks to get you to use the card and enough people won’t pay it off every month that they’ll make all their money back and more.
