It’s good if you’re rich, you can send your kids to rich people school and they’ll have a huge leg up on the poors who had to go to Jesus school and got taught a bunch of propaganda.

I get the feeling that you like China a lot.

Chevron could actually save us here since courts, not agencies can ultimately decide policy. This could be their entire strategy to “prove” that they were right.

Of course the Chinese government is going to give Americans a warm welcome on their propaganda app. You’re not going to see chinese people talking about Hong Kong, Uyghurs, Child labor. They could easily go to jail if they did any of that.

What difference does that make exactly? Everybody hates the guy, literally every American is ready for him to fuck off.

They could even make it look exactly like Google. What’s Google going to do about it? Get wrecked is what.

I’m voting for Jimmy Carter in 28’ and we’ll just pull weekend at Bernie’s.

I read something years ago that you should always at least acknowledge people. If I try to say hello or how are you, etc to someone passing by and they don’t acknowledge me back, especially if they’re in a position “above” me, then I lose all respect for them immediately.

Threatening a high end lawyer with a newly opened up schedule. 4D chess right there.

My cousin had a kid who was basically not a person. In a wheelchair unable to communicate or feed himself, just sitting there Drooling, maybe he was in there or maybe not. I think he made it to ten or twelve.

They wouldn’t introduce those bills if they thought they would actually pass.

What’s the healthcare cost difference? Student loans?

I was in 3rd or 4th grade at the time and happened to be sick that day. Freaked me out that people were going to think I did it.

I got lucky on the fact that I’m old now so I was able to buy a house in 2014 with a low interest rate. I also live in a low cost of living area, my mortgage, which includes property taxes and house insurance is $1k/mo. The majority is that goes to taxes and insurance, interest is about $60/mo. I have 5 more years on the 15 yr mortgage. I’ve gotten lucky that we’ve not had to have any major repairs in the past ten years, but I was looking for houses that were who built with good roofing and hvac systems since those are the two killers. The house has a lot of dated aesthetics from every decade from the sixties onwards, but that stuff is easy and cheap, plus you’re probably going to do that kind of stuff anyway.

It depends on where the big auctions are. I didn’t think there’s any dealer auctions within 100 miles of me. There’s one public auction which sucks ass because people bid stuff up higher than you could buy on marketplace.

He meant today, you can’t get an 8 year old car for $5k anymore unless it’s totalled or has 200k+ miles on it.

You couldn’t pay me to drive a French car. Stick to making wine and baguettes.
