@MattBruenig@AliceFromQueens@soblackandblue@Noahpinion That’s not necessarily vindicating for progressivism. It’s another way of saying leftists tend (on average) to take a victim mindset/fixed mindset towards the struggles of life.
What do you do if you’re the one who has been Peter Principled (promoted just to the point of incompetence), & you know it, but you don’t want to take a pay cut?
@BobGolen Correction , they’re touring together and The Who is the opening act. So, you can go to see ABBA and Costello, and you’ll see The Who’s on first.
“I’m disabled enough that I need a $60k/yr disability allowance but also I’m the harbormaster, run an oyster farm, and am running for federal office
Idk man

We need more expansive remote work

Remote work is really bad for early career progression! And isolates people!

The interest rate in a regular non-high-yield savings account is more insulting than anything else. I hold tens of thousands of dollars in there, and you’re giving me 20 cents? Just keep it, that’s demeaning to us both.

@CraftsmanBob Bad take. Caring is an anti-scarce resource. You don’t have a fixed pie of caring where caring about one thing mechanically decreases care for others. Lehefech, care is a muscle; & the more you care about one thing the more you can care about other things.
