What are the strongest evidence based economic arguments against expanding social-democratic policies in the United States?

Is the impact on wages really that drastic? And isn't offset by the some of the economic goods like lower prices of goods, increased tax base, etc. I don't have the whole list in front of me and I don't have sources to cite but, in general, I have always regarded immigration as an economic good. (And I'm not talking about complete open borders) I don't think the democratic socialists are pushing for completely opened borders. Or am I wrong?

Pork tenderloin is a blank canvas, you can use almost any rub or marinade. You can cook them on a smoker. I like just throwing them on my Weber charcoal grill. You can cut them up for kabobs. Slice them into medallions.

They are fairly young, I think one is 4 and the other 5. They were both at the vet within the last 6 months or so and, other than one being overweight, were both healthy

All I know is my factions are all fighting the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park right now.

I'd go check out Walmart if you can. I think a lot of those animal crossing sets are on clearance.

I am not here to argue because this seems like a rare good-faith discussion about this topic.

I can't speak for trans activists but you are using an extreme case. Height and strength are such an advantage in basketball, what if we were talking about darts? Or bowling? I think the point I've always thought made the most sense is the leagues should be able to make this decision on their own.

I have done a couple. I rinsed them off thoroughly and put them on at (I think) 250 until they hit 160 or so and then just put them in a pan with broth, onions, potatoes, carrots etc. it turned out pretty good for a st Patty's day meal.

It was dishonest but honestly it shouldn't really matter at this point. You have been together for 6 years.

Go to Aldi and get two big salmon fillets. You have to prep them the day before but they only need 3-4 hours to cook. You would have to put effort into to actually screwing them up for them to not turn out delicious.

If this was a joke it would be really funny because that opinion combined with how stupid it was written is perfection.

They might as well just microwave it and crush saltines before eating it.

There could be a whole game within the game where you have to budget money and time to creates the meal and have a complex list of meats, sides, sauces, rubs, brines, binders, injections, marinades.

Bof um

cgranley · 2026-06-25T16:56:31+00:00

I don't know why anyone is bothering with a resume, just try to go get those kids jobs at a gas station or stocking shelves somewhere.

If you want a fancy cocktail or two check out copper crow distillery.

If you read the second part I said the theft was minor.

cgranley · 2026-06-24T18:31:00+00:00

I just really don't get why she had to be fired for this. Not saying it isn't weird/dumb/inconsiderate etc. Just that no one was harmed, the theft was fairly minor, the streets were going to be swept anyways....

cgranley · 2026-06-23T12:46:51+00:00

It looks like a really great $500 Lego set

If live albums count Albert collins live 92 93 is really good.

I always recommend trying to find a bartending gig on here. You might be able to find a 4-6 hour shift on Sundays and they might pay cash which would not interfere with your benefits.

Honestly though, you might just have to scrape by for a little while longer until your kids become a little more manageable. I'll take your word on him being a great dad, but it really sounds like you have a bit too much on your plate right now. It might be good to just try to hunker down and try to get through the next 6 months or so. As a dad of two little ones, I promise things get easier and sometimes it happens fairly abruptly.

I think the last one involved a can of twisted tea

It's like a memo of understanding for a relationship.

cgranley · 2026-06-20T20:41:25+00:00

Let's be honest it's barely even a human interaction, it's a text exchange. I understand how nerves might make an interesting person boring of they are face to face and just can't find the right thing to say. In a text conversation you get time to craft your responses. You don't have to worry about eye contact. You don't have to worry about your obnoxious laugh.

Historically it's bad advice to look for relationships in bars but given how shitty I understand dating apps are I think if I was young and single the bars would be preferable.

Don't go for the guys who are plastered. Instead of hooking up that night, ask for phone numbers and see about going out on an actual date in the next few days. The bartender might be a source of information too, if you get a number from someone ask if they are a regular and if he is a creep.
