I once dated a girl for a short period who had an MBA and made a $50k salary as a bank cash manager, while living in a top 5 most expensive city in the US

Hated her job. Wanted a higher salary. She was a smart girl, but didn’t know what to do. So she decided to… go back to school

This is why women are attracted to post-grad education. It allows them to scratch the itch of doing something purposeful with their life inside of the safety and comfort of academia, avoiding the harsh realities of the real workforce

“Prey on the egos of the well-to-do” is spot on

MBAs are a scam that prey on the egos of the well-to-do

Retard has his mind blown upon discovering that US GDP is lower than the net value of the entire economy

This is like being shocked to find out that a year’s worth of your mortgage payments are lower than the total value of your house.

Yeah, no fucking shit Sherlock

Let me get this straight..

the S&P 500 just hit $69.7 trillion in market cap..

the entire US economy.. every job.. every factory.. every paycheck in America.. is worth $32.4 trillion..

so the stock market is worth more than TWICE the country that supposedly produces it..

let me say that again..

top 10 stocks alone are worth $29 trillion.. that's almost the entire GDP of the United States sitting in ten companies..

and the richest 10% of Americans own 87% of all that stock wealth..

your paycheck didn't grow 215% this year.. your rent didn't drop.. your job isn't worth more..

but the number on the screen just broke every record that's ever existed..

they call this "the best economy in history"..

best for who.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications right now.

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

The divide is no longer merely political. The left and right are becoming rival civilizations, with different gods, truths, moral codes, and visions of what a human being is. At some point, a shared country cannot survive two incompatible realities.

[Hokushin @roguehaole]

Do you think the average citizen of California should feel a “sense of obligation” to take care of people in Wisconsin? Is that a reasonable thing to expect?

Give me a fucking break. Do you feel a sense of obligation? Most leftists living in big cities don’t even speak to their own neighbors.

The Founding Father’s had their own phrase for this “sense of obligation”. They called it the duties and responsibilities of a free citizenry. But you don’t care about that, you only care about the “rights”, because rights are the forcing function that enables the government to rob me to pay you.

Nobody is falling for your bullshit.

@hatttt224 @honeyNonABG Not sure I would say it benefited white women then most, I think that title belongs to black people. But you’re right. I correct my statement to middle class white boys

Oh, a post about my favorite drawer in my house.

Other items of note you may find are rolls of tape of varying types, safety scissors that are cartoonishly too small for a grown man’s hand, a meat thermometer that gets used once a year either on the 4th of July or Memorial Day, spare change of foreign currency from past travels, black and blue gel pens that may or may not still have ink, a tape measure, TV remote that belongs to a TV you no longer own, a tiny swiss army knife, a bic lighter and perhaps a utility lighter if you own a grill

Just the facts. 🇯🇵

Homicide rate: lowest in the G7.
Literacy: essentially 100%.
Tap water: drinkable from any faucet in the country.
Bullet train: 60 years, zero passenger deaths.
Natural disaster: no riots, no looting.
Dropped wallet: it comes back.

Politicians did not build this.

A mother waking at 5am to pack a lunch box.
A father who stayed at one company until the day he retired.
Millions of people whose names nobody will ever know.

They stacked it up, one ordinary day at a time.

I am not proud of this country.

I am proud of the ordinary people in it. 🔥

@CacheThatCheque Tiktok is free, traveling to Europe is not

[Hokushin @roguehaole]

This could be because the older generation of Japanese made their buck back in the 80s and 90s when the Japanese economy was roaring, thus enabling them to travel / live abroad.

Younger generation today is struggling to simply get their feet under them with how bad their salaries have gotten

Idk just a theory, I could be wrong

[Hokushin @roguehaole]

Other examples of polytheistic religious behavior include the climate activists, who worship the earth and view humanity as a threat to its continued existence, so they propose making sacrifices in support of rebuilding the earth’s defenses against the great and powerful sun (sort of like Mayan priests??)

Or, you have the deliberate censoring of words such as nigger, which is given the cover of “the N word”. This is a common religious practice that seeks to soften a name or a title so as to not cause offense by its utterance, usually because the uttering of the word by the speaker implies they are peers with the subject that the word is describing (think of God trolling Moses at the burning bush for asking what His name was)

Both of these topics could have their own thread, perhaps an entire essay. Open your eyes to religious behavior and you will see it everywhere.

[Hokushin @roguehaole]

There is no such thing as atheism. It is impossible to be non-religious.

In the absence of an organized, monotheistic religion, all human beings will default back to unorganized polytheism. There is no getting around this, it's your factory settings.

[Hokushin @roguehaole]

This is the problem with abandoning organized religion. You’re tossing out millennia of philosophical debate and discussion.

Veganism is a sloppy, inconsistent religion because it hasn’t been stress tested by vigorous debate for two thousand years, like Christianity has.
