Middle and upper class folks cutting off their Netflix and Spotify entertainment while also leaving them unable to tweet incessantly about it. I don't think so.

Translation: one of the wealthiest people in the US doesn't think twice before dropping $150K on an ad to campaign against the presidential candidate he doesn't like. Also it is mighty funny seeing "un-american" being us

Anything in there about the actual colour of the mirror? Or shall I just keep calling them white because they reflect all colours incident upon them?

Try telling that to an employer. A degree is the best way to bootstrap your career.

Why?

The EU is undemocratic. The EU constitution was rejected by national referenda in two countries, France and the Netherlands. A few others had pledged to hold their own, the UK for example. When it was rejected the constitution was rename
