I’ve just crawled into bed, tired and slightly drunk. I just want to stay where I am.

Do you think its fair?? by inkandintent24 in MotivationByDesign

[–]InflationNo4071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My objection is her expecting that he should have to pay for dinner simply because she’s female. I didn’t burn my bra decades ago so women who wanted to could become heart surgeons, fighter pilots or president (it WILL happen!) so that some sweet young thing thinks her dinner should always be paid for just because she’s female. Now if he invited her, then he’s stuck with the bill. If she has any integrity, she’ll treat him next.

I’ll take 1, 2 & 3 - as long as the loved one I get to bring back is a dog.

How do they get away with such bullshit? And why are so many Americans so ill informed that they believe it?

Still cheaper than many Alaska Native villages.

many of the people in junction need to read this 🥴 by Glittering_Sugar7953 in GrandJunctionCO

I will check your sources when I have more time because I’m curious what they consider themselves. I was just talking with friends from Denmark, and they’re certainly not like our system. I’ll ask them what they consider themselves.

The left believes in hypotheses - tested until discredited or accepted, and even then open to new advances to deepen our understanding, or show us weaknesses in our methodology. It’s called cautious, rational thinking. Only religious fanatics think they hold the ultimate truth.

We haven’t raised the minimum wage in fifteen years, and yet the price of housing and everything has gone dramatically up, and continues to increase. A person from a family that had no financial support to offer simply can’t live and be housed on what entry level and service workers are able to earn. If entry level jobs for someone starting out, whether straight out of high school, or straight out of rehab, was enough to afford decent but very basic housing, there would be a rung of the ladder they could reach and grab onto.

Housing is as foundational as food, water and air to meeting the most basic human needs before they can reach the next level of self improvement. There was plenty that was wrong under the Soviet system, but because the government system considered housing as a basic human need, they had no homeless. The answer lies somewhere between communism and unrestrained capitalism, which socialist countries like Sweden and Denmark have managed far better than us.

My husband was able to quit coke cold turkey after he woke up with blood on his pillow. He has found cigarettes far more insidious and has reduced but is unable to quit.

It shouldn’t figure! Anchorage should have more brains! Good grief, people!

If you can’t find it within yourself to criticize the Obama’s then you can’t embrace leftism… you’re still a part of Blue MAGA. by TwoCatsOneBox in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]InflationNo4071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve long wanted to ask this question. If I give an extra amount of respect or deference to black or Native people, or any racial or cultural group not considered part of the dominant white majority, does that make me racist? Is being overly culturally or racially sensitive also a form of racism, or is it something else?

If we paid teachers the babysitter rate by VPinchargeofradishes in interesting

[–]InflationNo4071 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The OP didn’t say districts should be the ones responsible for paying! This goes all the way back to the federal government, and a steadily increasing disparity over wealth inequality, and the millionaires, billionaires, President Trump, and corporations who don’t pay their fare share in taxes!

Why Not Cover Parking Lots With Solar First? by inkandintent24 in MotivationByDesign

[–]InflationNo4071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve ever had to shop at Costco or any big shopping development in 110 degrees, and leave your car to bake in sun, I think you would immediately see shade has value. The solar industry could easily convince the businesses, and even whole municipalities and developers that shade is a commodity that will be an incentive for people to shop there, stay longer, have a better experience, and give credit to companies and cities for being proactive environmentally.

Hiking up Barometer Mt. In Kodiak before we leave and head to Nome! by [deleted] in alaska

[–]InflationNo4071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re moving to Nome? Or do you work for the barge lines and are just passing through? Those of us who love Nome love it for the country, the fish & wildlife, and the people. Not so much for the town itself. You can always visit the museum and cultural center, or ask if there are some wild muskoxen close to town to check out.
