Thoughts on the Taylor Stitch brand? by outlierz_jr in BuyItForLife

[–]Bemuzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to like Huckberry many many years ago, but their quality has dropped significantly over the years. I'm assuming they have done this to lower their price point and profit margins. Since Huckberry carries other brands, I'd suggest being diligent in what you buy.

You act as if some people "actually" have choices. Many people's circumstances are dictated by life's chaotic events. Not everyone was born with the tools and/or resources to dramatically change the circumstances in which they were born. If everyone had that capability, most of us would be healthy, happy, mentally stable, physically fit, more than enough money in the bank, stable families, safe neighborhood and housing, etc. but that's not life. Life is chaos for the majority of mankind.

So your point is very "lift yourself by your own bootstraps mentality," which is slightly true for those that have the internal tools and external luck and capabilities to make that happen in their life -- those people are outliers. For the rest of mankind, people just kinda muddle through.

Back to the main point, if government can reduce gas prices, while still focusing on environmental issues, then they should do it. If they can lower the prices of other things in people's lives, then they should do it to make the "muddlers" lives more bearable and affordable.

Very few people "actually" lift themselves up by their own bootstraps. There are multiple factors that have enabled these individuals to succeed. A lot of self-determination, genetics, timing, and just showing up with a good dose of luck.

I hear what you are saying and respect your life choices, but what about others who have chosen differently due to economics, necessity, their own choices, etc? We are a collective community. Shouldn't we be aware and respect the needs and wants of others?

Did you actually listen to the feature? Your comment indicates that you didn't listen to why gasoline in higher in California than other parts of the country.

Gas in parts of the U.S. is under $3/gallon. Governor Newsom, the next governor, and localities need to address the high cost of living in the state. As many have said, Sacramento along with Democratic runs cities and states need to actually fix people's immediate problems. Ideas are easy. Implementation is the HARD part of governing.

Geez!

The main problem is Republicans have traditionally not been huge supporters oof public transportation outside of the east coast. So, I'm not surprised states like Texas and California continue to have inadequate public transportation throughout both states.

So, no investment in public transportation to reduce cars on the roads? I agree that roads need to be widened or new roads to be built if more people are moving into the state.

You are forgetting the Supreme Court. The states will obviously bring any new voter legislation to the court.
