Communism collapses regardless of what the US does. Because communism is not tenable.

lol at simultaneously believing that communism is superior in every way but also so sensitive that America's farts are enough to knock it over

Explanatory power is the ability of a hypothesis or theory to effectively explain the subject matter it pertains to.

No, anti-vaxxers shouldn't be reimbursed for anything.


This is including people with medical exemptions too. Refunds and/or virtual alternatives would be fair.

Wage stagnation seems to have occurred around the same time as (1) the death of Bretton Woods and (2) the loosening of immigration policy in the mid-to-late 1960s. Just a thought.


Also after a period of historic inflation and women entering the labor force. Slowing down from historic inflation and having to compete with more people in the labor market both suppress wages.

Guess its easier to watch your wife get banged by another man than it is to pay child support.

This is probably it tbh.

One guy I work with pays 170/week in child support. We make 500/week. He can barely get by. One of the guys that make even more money pays 1200/month in child support. The only choice he has now is to work 18 hours a day or he cant live

I always knew not having a 401K would come in handy someday. Smh at all of you losing money.

You're not going to lose all of your money in a 401k unless entire sectors that you're invested in go away, which means much bigger problems affecting more than just 401ks. Also, the money you put in is pre-tax so you save a lot if that money would've been taxed at higher brackets. On top of that, you'd be stupid to not hit the company match if they have one because that instantly doubles your money, giving you an instant 100% return on investment, tax-free until withdrawal.

I blue-collar, son. I don't retire, I just go until my body breaks down and then drown myself in liquor mooching off my kids when I'm no longer capable of contributing.


Self employed people can still contribute to retirement accounts and you'll also get social security income at retirement age.

But every inch of my financial sense is saying not to do it since I don't need it and it'd just be a really expensive toy.

FFFFFFF but it's such a cool car. Test drove it twice. Beautiful car. Made in America too. Gotta support that American manufacturing.

FFFFFF I can definitely afford the car but when I think about the compounded cost of buying the car, after 10-15 years the sum starts becoming significant. Not sure if enjoyment of the car would outweigh that. Maybe it would.

Maybe life is too short and I should get it and if I end up not liking it in a year or two I can resell it since Teslas hold their value fairly well.

Halp me CE. What would you do if you could afford a nice car that you've been eyeballing for years but also have a deep-seated fear of spending too much money on toys?

My first time playing the game at a deeper level. Previously would just go in random directions and then start a new character after 5-10 hours.

This time I'm actually doing quests and the main storyline. Going for the cure for vampirism right now and then I'm gonna resume the main quest. The first Daedra quest was pretty tough. I was stuck in the tower with just a goddam mace and no healing.
