Well, if we take $2k payments and make them monthly, in a decade or so we'll reach a meaningful percentage of the direct costs of the Iraq/Afghan wars.

OP just pulled a part of the Los Angeles area out of their ass they figured was cheap because a rap song told them black lived there. $350k isn’t getting you something decent in any part of the city nor surrounding area.

No.

Since you can’t get unemployment after voluntarily quitting, the answer to that question is exactly zero.

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

That's literally the point. Tests are getting refused so someone (like yourself) can respond with "But so-and-so says there are only X cases!!!!!"

This isn't an accident.

California is a “one party state” because Gov Pete Wilson and the CA GOP went after the racist vote in the mid 90’s to get re-elected by heavily supporting Prop 187, which denied all state services to undocumented immigrants. Until then, it was relatively conservative.

Turns out that (thankfully) there aren’t enough racists for keep control of the state government, and since then the CA GOP has become basically irrelevant.

We have a huge constituency that believes that government taxes are the very worst thing to happen in human history, so anything that makes filing taxes easier gets heavy push back in order to support their “taxes are so hard and burdensome” narrative.

Irvine has simnifically less "systemic inequities" than anywhere in the the Bay Area, everyone here just has a lot of money.

And not sure what you are getting at with "the Secret Police", unless that is some sort of allusion to the fact that many of newer housing developments are heavily sold to foreign buyers in Mainland China or something.

Would anyone who doesn’t live in Chicago know there was another Trump Tower there? I for one thought all but the NY one had their names changed because the licensees no longer wanted to be associated with such a toxic brand.

Yeah the shorter version of Ken "Popehat" White's thoughts are: middle class white people have no fucking idea how shitty the justice system is.

And it's true, based on the replies to this post. No one who says Epstein's suicide was a "practical impossibility" has been anywhere near the justice system. They definitely don't know anyone who has been on the prisoner side of it.

Earnings are tomorrow (2PM PDT Oct 30th).

Especially since everyone always gets it wrong. “The King is dead. Long live the King” refers to two different people.

I too was thrown off by all the “company-wide email reporting”. Check AppleWeb.

When the news is good, you shout it from the rooftops. When the news is bad, well, you do what is legally required by the SEC.

Your link shows that more Civics were sold by the third week of February than even the biased estimate in this post says Tesla is going to sell all year. For Camry the comparison is even worse.

ICE the agency isn't old enough to vote or buy cigarettes. CBP is different agency and no one is calling to abolish it.

In fact, equating to two is common tactic of the "throwing children into cages is good, actually" crowd and most of the time it means the person is arguing in bad faith.

I don't know, if you came in via the acquisition, seems like you would have used the correct company name and not "TestFlight".

It’s not. Even in their own time, the Spartan bullshit was a myth pushed by themselves. Some civilizations such as the Chumash in what is now Los Angeles worked as little as 8 hours per week in order to survive.

It's going great. Stabbing deaths in London in 2018 were just over 3 "El Pasos". It's less than 3X if you change the metric to "2019 mass shootings posted to 8chan ahead of time".

I'm sorry that Fox News has led you so astray, but the whole "actually everyone in London gets stabbed because they don't have guns" narrative is horseshit.

Because it helps explain why events that would have ended any previous US Presidential administration can happen multiple times a day, but not even move the needle in the public discourse.

Obama saluted a Marine with a Starbucks cup in his hand and it was national news. Trump sided with a murderous dictator against a former Vice President yesterday, and nothing.

Anyone who pays attention to American politics lately has been experienced the Overton Window shifting a lot.

If you're going to bring up the bullshit argument of "but the Dems owned all three branches of government!", at least get the Senate Majority Leader correct.

Not sure if things have calmed down in the last year, but get ready for 2-3 hour lines.

Basically, the entire director level of McDonalds is immigrants and first generation Americans. The kinds of people who didn't grow up hearing "staying at McDonalds for four years is proof of lacking ambition and creativity".

yes, yes it is.

Since San Jose is the 10th largest city in the US by population, perhaps you aren't the best gatekeeper when it comes to what constitutes a city, and what does not.

“Red Bottoms” was in the chorus of a song that was a #1 for three weeks in 2017 (Bodak Yellow by Cardi B). Since you seem to be unaware of this “inane” detail that is a big part of current American culture, perhaps you should lay off on passing judgement.

More like “Democratic”. She played the “see, I can be a Conservative too!” game to try to get the “small government” voters, and it didn’t even work anyway. Might as well quote Rand Paul because the whole “IRS is mean to Republicans” was definitely not a bipartisan belief except for red state Democrats.
