Yeah unions have definitely changed over the last 40 years. Folks forgot the meaning of the word "solidarity" and are too impatient to put their time in like the older workers they like to complain about. There was an old guy that

You appear to be grossly misusing the term "left". I'm guessing you're talking about Democrats here, which are center-right liberals. Leftist politics for the most part don't even vaguely resemble the Democratic par

Neither do I. I saw the coat, liked it, confirmed it was my size, and bought it. On a whim I googled the brand when I got home. Point is, you typically have a better chance of scoring dressier stuff at the thrift store because it doesn&#x27

That it isn't inexplicable isn't in question. It is, however, unacceptable given promises made (voluntarily) by Amazon marketing about the nature of the service.

Jeans and shirts are pretty much a lost cause. Every now and again you can get really lucky on formal wear. Example: Last spring I found a ~$1000 cashmere overcoat in my size at one of the local thrift stores for $20.

Your assertions are faith-based unless you have a plan for what we eat when (for example) pollinators go extinct? You cannot simply handwave away a collapsing ecosystem.

Definitely get it expunged from your record if at all possible. Note: expungement does not automatically update a bunch of private background check databases that will also have copies of your criminal history. You may need to hire a 3rd pa

Fascinating. So we should ignore Kansas' state economy going belly up due to grotesque mismanagement by "conservatives" attempting to implement libertarian-inspired economic policies? What about the sharp (and enduring) spike

Kansas (assumably) has a working general assembly and is perfectly capable of passing legislation at the state level to express their will in whatever way they see fit. Meanwhile, at the federal level, the will of the majority of citizens i

Given the frequency with which old guard Republican politicians get caught soliciting liaisons in public mens rooms while openly supporting legislation that discriminates against the LGBTQ+ community I'd drug test Sessions before I mad

uh uh. Quirks of population distribution should certainly not permit a minority of citizens from driving policy in directions the rest of the country doesn't want to go. One person, one vote.

You're seriously going to attempt to advance the claim there is no evidence to support the assertion that global consumption doesn't sustainably scale to 7.5 billion people in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary (you

Given every libertarian/conservative economic theory that's been advanced since Reagan entered office has been tried and without exception resulted in increased income inequality and bricking the economy, comically uninformed seem

Given we've either already destroyed or are in the process of destroying every major marine fishery on the planet and something like 40% of the total dry land area on the planet is currently used for some form of agriculture it seems p

We already have sufficient technology, agricultural & manufacturing output, and logistics in place to feed, clothe, and assumably shelter every human on the planet. Social organization away from surplus value hoarding by big capital see

That the religious right have latched onto prohibitionist dogma for centuries is not in question, however your comment doesn't appear to take into account that, at least in the US, said dogma has been spun up specifically to vilify one

Seems obvious on all points, not sure why this is getting downvoted.

It certainly proves nothing of the kind, and your use of the phrase "belief" is disingenuous. It implies an element of faith that is entirely lacking from any of my assertions. My statements are made based on direct observation of

"That you and vertex-four disagree not only on the facts, but on the nature of facts indicates that perhaps his point has some merit." Unlikely. One of us has spent a large chunk of their professional career working in and around

You just set your credibility on fire with the phrase "the extreme bias between newspapers and TV channels picking and choosing facts". What you are describing is literally the opposite of how objective journalism is performed. Th

Of course they are, and why wouldn't they be? Goldman's entire business model is based on raking dumb investment strategies.
