Legitimately not me. Saw it first at Kings Garden and thought the placement inside the trash can was weird. only noticed it because it’s one of those spin top trash cans. Then a few weeks later I saw it on the stop sign, and then at cumberland farms and thought it was weird i have never seen them in 30 years then saw 3 in a few weeks

Well, that's where you messed up, son, you can't go to no bar to find a nice woman. You gotta go to a nice place, a quiet place like a library, there's good women there and 'erm, church, they're good girls. Or this place here, where I'm going tonight. The Black Awareness Rally. There's going to be some fine women there. Good clean girls. That's where I'm going, shit.

American capitalism has been deregulated and money intentionally devalued to the point where it is just one small step away from slavery. That being the free choice which in reality is non existent because there is no choice for most when you are coerced to perform labor via the threat of homelessness and starvation

As someone that grew up poor and is now doing well, I can relate to this mentality to a degree. The opportunity to do something big doesn't come often. You could save it for a rainy day or emergency but by then you might be too old to enjoy the money... or some big expense will wipe it out and you just keep slogging.

I save money for retirement and have an emergency fund but I also spend my money too. I know some people that cannot bring themselves to spend any resources because "what if....". To the point where they could definitely afford something that would make their lives easier but refuse to do it be a use they might need that money for something else later on. So, they don't live their life out of fear of needing money for things that rarely materialize if ever. As though it's morraly wrong to spend money on anything that would bring enjoyment or entertainment because that's "wasteful".

The problem is when people who are working 2+jobs can't afford to pay rent and basic needs.

Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos makes $219M per day and pays shit in taxes while people like you think the answer is "just stop relying on the gov't".

There is a very basic and fundamental problem: the elitist rich people in the US have a hugely disproportionate share of wealth compared to the average American.

The answer isn't to "just work harder" or "find a new job". The economy is fundamentally broken and skewed against the average person... who by the way are doing the majority of work to line the pockets of those ultra rich folks.

Wow, it actually makes total sense that a cop can’t discriminate “voluntary” from “involuntary” LOL

And you ain’t arguing in front of a crowd brother, the only thing that baseless claim accomplishes here is showing me how desperate you are to prove a point, especially since you’re wrong.

Piss poor inferencing skills from a cop really instills my trust in the police. Nice work Chief Wiggum!
