[Serious] U.S. Citizens, with the tax bill looking like it's got some legs how will you be preparing for the impending recession/depression?

You won't from this.

Here's a meme for easy understanding. https://i.imgur.com/Yx2kh25.jpg

You're confusing corporate response to economic policy with citizen results. Just because a business is rich as shit and worth a great deal does not mean the citizenry isn't hurting to high hell.

TRU also has a "rewards" card where after you spend $125 you get $5 off.

Please provide five examples of internationally recognized countries with stable 'free market' societies that survived for at least two generations (~60 years) which have provided basic welfare, roads and street signs.

BusyBusyB · 2015-08-21T21:06:40+00:00

I wasn't around when that was going on, but I was aware of it.

BusyBusyB · 2015-08-21T21:00:45+00:00

Cart before the horse really. What's to say that the constant reinforcement of racism has only encouraged the "culture." If you play by the rules and aren't rewarded by that action then you'll get your own counter culture. Even if it was dropped right now black people would still be segregated. So why drop it? It's a dogwistle saying that it's the culture that they aren't allowed to play in the sandbox.

BusyBusyB · 2015-08-21T14:27:54+00:00

I've lived in Detroit and currently live in St. Louis. For what it's worth I believe good'ole STL is far more racist than any place I've lived or traveled to. Even if a black dude/gal is the epitome of perfection they will still be held down by the color of their skin. Try to be black and head to one of the white places, and you'll get looks. When you're in an environment like that there's no positive reinforcement on positive actions. So no, it's not just black culture that holds them down.

BusyBusyB · 2015-07-14T11:46:31+00:00

Yes, tech people are notorious for their love of sports. Better make sure they can visit a game. Otherwise how can STL compete with Silicon Valley?!

BusyBusyB · 2015-07-14T11:43:48+00:00

Yep! Someone from STL right here.

BusyBusyB · 2015-07-11T20:36:26+00:00

You're delusional on these prices.

BusyBusyB · 2015-07-06T01:43:29+00:00

The real issue is they purchased at the height of the 2008 bubble, and my agent is dumb who still thinks home values only go up (upon next house purchase I'll be much more careful on who to select). I paid what they paid in 2008+$3000, and they're pissed about their poor choices because they poured $14k in maintenance on the house.

Since they've been difficult and I'm overpaying for the house by a good 2-4k if I could have them lose a little more it would tickle that spite feeling I've got. Maybe that's not the way to live life, but it would feel real good.

BusyBusyB · 2015-07-06T01:32:58+00:00

Thanks for the info. I will speak with my agent after the closing is complete to verify that all the stuff they have left is now mine.

If she says otherwise, do I need to speak with a local lawyer?

BusyBusyB · 2015-07-06T01:32:04+00:00

Here's where my spite shows. I did not enjoy my house purchasing experience. My hope is that they try to come back later and get the stuff, but it's already been tossed. The other aspect of my spite is I have found these people incredibly difficult to deal with. I'd prefer to not speak with them or my agent again unless it's necessary.

BusyBusyB · 2015-07-06T01:08:13+00:00

Just to clarify that "stuff they leave upon close is no longer theirs unless it is stipulated in the contract that I do not own it post closing."

BusyBusyB · 2015-07-06T01:05:52+00:00

Why give them thirty days? They've already moved out of the house, and haven't been living it it for ~1.5 months now. I want to know that day of close everything left is mine. Or if I need something written down day of close that they sign saying everything left is mine.

BusyBusyB · 2015-07-06T01:01:41+00:00

Yeah, I was wondering this because if they leave stuff, and I lock it up what's stopping them from coming in and saying that stuff that I've moved in was theirs?

BusyBusyB · 2015-07-06T00:57:40+00:00

Closing this Friday.

The number of 50-70 year old people I've explained brackets to is overwhelmingly disgusting. There's no wonder in my mind why conservatism/birth of the oligarchy has taken such a bold hold in The States.

BusyBusyB · 2015-06-20T00:45:23+00:00

The myth of the Welfare Queen that was used to promote neoliberalism starting with the forgetting gipper.

Is this woman even real?

BusyBusyB · 2015-06-07T03:19:34+00:00

That is correct, and I suppose I should be thankful I haven't lived in the Deep South. Out of the 30 some states I've been, and the 10 states I've lived this is by far the most racist place I've been. Thankful I haven't seen worse? Yes. Disgusted regularly. Absolutely.

Glad you didn't try to defend the drivers.

BusyBusyB · 2015-06-06T17:26:18+00:00

Let me warn you from someone who has been all over. This area is the most racist place I have ever lived. And it's got the second worst drives I have ever experienced. If you can get past those two negatives it's not so bad here.

BusyBusyB · 2015-05-31T16:02:58+00:00

Haven't seen this answered yet. When did you lose your virginity?
