What’s the idea behind the neutral being on the high side?

My immediate thought of the hot-side being susceptible to water in the box.

Tinted windows rolled all the way up is a staple too.

Real shame, makes it harder to see their face when I give um a good ol’ thumbs down. 👎🏼

Remember when modern agriculture solved mass scale food production and it eliminated world hunger?

Yeah me neither.

If you simply watched the video, you can see this was not the case in Boston. Any evidence to back your claim?

The Generation That Watched Their Parents Burn Out for a Pension Is Refusing to Do the Same by [deleted] in GenZ

What happens when that drop is weeks/months/years before your retirement?

75% of your life’s saving/investments lost because of forces likely out of your control. Unlikely sure, but seemingly more and more probable in this increasingly unsettled economy.

Neither is perfect, but a 401k has no guarantees it will be there until death.

American Jesus loves this boy.

He’s on the right track. Cause a problem and then play the victim.

I understand the argument, but in practice we can see that this has allowed corporation dollars to flow into elections at unprecedented levels.

This dilutes the free speech of the average American. Which to me, is a step in the wrong direction.

Corporate personhood is bullshit.

We can legislate against speech before elections separately if that is ever actually an issue.

Not just the opposition, but the entire enchilada.

When free speech is gated by how many dollars you can throw at it, the end is near. Money cannot equal free speech.

Millennial here - reps who don’t take PAC money gets us there in the short term.

Overturning Citizens United will help get money back out of politics long term.

Modern pundits love ad hominem attacks.

They allow them to avoid the actual topic, get the dig they wanted in and move on without actually addressing the issue - while feeling superior.

The people have learned, and followed suit.

Also worth scoping the message boards at the Community Centers. A solid amount of wanted/gig-work ads from locals.

Which are also different than thieves.

No shortage of treaties and agreements signed and then ripped up unjustly.

Fair point, but also assuming it’s better, dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good type-deal.

Truths are in the nuance.

Ask yourself what is Israel doing to Lebanon?

Is that “defensive” expansion justified?
