It will forever annoy me that national conversations about "the economy" are all interest rates this, gas prices that, but don't mention the 68% of us who live pay check to pay check. That 46% of renters spend more than 30% of total income on housing, or that for 23% it's 50%+
@jchenelly@GinoFanelli no reasonable person thinks 1500 dollars in damages by (a select few) out of hundreds of students participating in civil disobedience who also pay 100k a year in tuition is a punishable crime. That's fascist. but more importantly- it's not your community. or mine. it's theirs.
@mcfw property crime here and literally all over the earth there is a correlation between the cost of living and property crime. it's sociology 101. but y'all slept through that class. The best thing that happens social science upperclassman is no longer being with criminology majors.
@iamharaldur this point would be a whole lot more digestible if you would use the correct adjective to describe your gender. You are a cis man. All men are biological unless you are attempting to distinguish yourselves from AI or computers. Your wife is a cis woman.
@jchenelly@GinoFanelli it's not "society" its private school. They'll be paying for these 4 years for the rest of their lives. even if they did 10k in damages- they pay U of R almost 100k a year EACH. You can compare it to society when you're paying 100k a year in taxes while earning 0 dollars.
@jchenelly@GinoFanelli Collectively- hundreds of students have done $1,500 in damage- how much tuition do you think hundreds of students participating in that civil disobedience have paid collectively? rent on their dorms? dollars in their dining halls? YOU have no stake in their cause- they do.
@mhennessy5@GinoFanelli the most fascist Federal government we've had in my lifetime (the current one) says that it does not in any way meet the standards for a hate crime, because of the way that anti genocide civil disobedience is not at all a hate crime. Anti zionism isn't antisemitism.
@GinoFanelli claiming a "wanted" poster is a call for violence- what about the monroe county sheriff office posting wanted pictures of shoplifters? We see your reach to justify totalitarianism and fascism is just that- a reach. Your grand kids will be ashamed of your thirst for fascism.
@CeliaBedelia the "stranger danger" culture that American millennials were exposed to growing up has lead to a cohort pf parents who stifle childhood independence until adolescence- which is a mistake from a developmental perspective -adolescence is often also for risk taking /defiance. (1/2)
@mcfw I drove through there at that time. she was sitting on the roof of the car to make the CAR ACCIDENT that had disabled her car- more visible. not something I would do- but it's also an expressway on ramp and there's no sidewalk. Y'all are so quick to assume the worst of people.
talk to your teens about the "your body my choice" baby fascists running around and how it is our kids responsibility- especially those of us with cis white boys- they stop that rhetoric on site and make sure girls and young women know they are safe with us and our babies.
@RepJoeMorelle At least all western new yorkers can agree that this is incredibly poor taste and we all hate you and you're entire wing of the party who cares more about liz cheney's opinion than the left.
someone in an influential role at the medicaid waiver services small agency I work for told me yesterday that she's undecided on the election and "likes something's about both candidates" and I think I aspirated on my coffee. HOW?!?
