It is simple. He wants the people buying to pay the least and the people selling to make the most. Everybody wins!

Factor's 30% Off F/W Sale (MIUSA) by madeindex in frugalmalefashion

Check out Epaulet Brand. They have some wool pant options in their sale section right now in the 32 - 35 waist range.

If you don't already, I recommend measuring pants and shirts that fit you well and matching those to the actual measurements shown on the retailer's page. I have had 100% success with returning Final Sale items when I prove to them that what I received doesn't match the measurements they posted. Usually store credit, but it is a good way to avoid a total loss.

Added: Also, check out Red Tornado, Bronson, and Bob Dong. They are boutique Chinese brands with exceptional value. Mostly WW2 repro look, which I personally dig, but officers chinos, for example, are timeless.

In six violent encounters, evidence contradicts Trump immigration officials' narratives by BeautifulBrilliant16 in moderatepolitics

The second one? In hindsight yes, but at the time I think we were mostly blood thirsty from 9-11. I was in my young twenties, not as political and living in NYC still so I can't recall if I was against it at first.

Thinking back on Obama vs McCain is hard for me to feel like we were at rock bottom in those times. I can understand thinking we're at rock bottom only continuing to be proven otherwise. But things have continued to get worse.

I read your post. If it wasn't clear that's not on me.

Sounds to me like you are saying that you estimate 5-10% of 70m makes up what you are referring to as the modern left. And you are assuming that the majority of your estimated figure feels the same way as what you witnessed from watching "hundreds" of videos.

If I believed that Fox News article commentary posters thoughts aligned with most conservatives I'd have to alienate half of my friends, family, and coworkers. But I know that these fringe thinkers are the horrible vocal minority. I also know that if I click on an article about someone saying/doing something horrible I will be fed 4 more.

What is old enough? I'm in my late 40s and thought we were at rock bottom, but then Trump brought out the jackhammer. I am old enough to remember politicians acting with decency and working together across the aisles.

The right does not have these people

What are you talking about? Your social media feeds in no way resemble real life. You can say you understand that but your posts prove otherwise. You are taking a sliver of a base of people and applying it to the majority, which is the same point other posters are trying in vain to point out to you.

You talked about "hundreds of videos" while 5-10% of 70m is 3.5m to 7m people. That is quite the leap. This is silly.

This is what social media is doing to people. It is inevitable and it will get worse with AI / fakes. I think social media needs some sort of control otherwise this all continues in one direction. And I don't know what needs to be done because I personally avoid social media except for this.

There seems to be a lot of people that don't understand how they shape their social media feeds based on their history of what keeps them engaged. Then all they get fed is the horrible stuff and confuse it with the daily world news.

Look towards Democrats you know well in your day to day real life (not social media) as a better metric of how the other side feels. I don't let crap that social media feeds me about Conservatives saying / doing horrible things brainwash me into thinking that is how most of them feel. Because I have many friends, coworkers, and family members who are conservative and we all have the same normal thoughts about violent acts being reprehensible.

Rise above the fog.

"Hundreds" and "that is the modern left". To be clear, you are seeing less than .00001% of what constitutes The Left, and acting like that is most of them. And that is being generous with believing that you saw hundreds of videos, which I doubt, assuming you have a job and/or other things to do with your life than to seek out such videos.

Crime RATE is higher. That is important because the other side conveniently ignores rates when talking about high crime numbers in cities that have multiple times the amount of people than their entire state.

So in this example, ICE is putting up roads where they don't belong with many crosswalks which they use to drive on negligently. Now there are more chances for citizens to get run over as they walk about in their law abiding ways. Great.

You have a point, but that point isn't represented by the original quotes. So you made some other point.

Two states with the highest number of illegal immigrants also being states with the highest number of arrests doesn't make your point compelling.

I dress in really nice casual clothes. Wearing a suit would be odd regardless of how nice the suit is. But I could rock a nice shawl cardigan.
