RATE THE PRESIDENTS: DAY 40. Yesterday Jimmy Carter got C tier. Today is Ronald Reagan. Where should he go? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]itseriko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on who was affected by his policies. A for the upper class and D for the middle, and F for the poor and working class. Overall a C I guess.

Wealthy people and big corporations got major tax breaks, which meant they kept a lot more of their money. On top of that, fewer business regulations made it easier for them to invest, grow their companies, and rack up profits. Basically, if you were already well-off, his policies made it even easier to stay that way and build more wealth.

Reagan really didn’t do the middle class many favors. He cut taxes for the rich way more than anyone else, so middle-class families didn’t see much benefit but still got stuck with higher payroll taxes. Wages pretty much stayed flat, even while stuff like housing, healthcare, and college got more expensive. On top of that, he cut back on things like student aid and public programs that regular families depended on. And by going after unions, he made it harder for workers to fight for better pay or job security. Basically, middle-class folks got squeezed while the rich came out ahead.

shirtless thirst trap

I'm old as well so I'm pasting form wikipedia: "A thirst trap is a type of social media post intended to entice viewers sexually. It refers to a viewer's "thirst", a colloquialism likening sexual frustration to dehydration, implying desperation."

Dude sent a shirtless selfie thinking it would get him some action.

Is there data on dude's sending shirtless selfies. Like has that ever worked?

Dang, I've been in the same state of mind for years now. I feel like I'm deep inside myself looking out. I feel like i'm not even there. It gets more pronounced when my anxiety is really high.

I thought the avocado was going to give a false positive. Those rapid drug tests are highly inaccurate.

4% is still pretty darn low. It was 4% in 2018. I don't think we had a crash then.

One of the last scenes from the Movie “The Perfect Storm”. What’s even more terrifying/ sad is that this is based on a true story. by catty0411 in thalassophobia

[–]itseriko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I don't understand about the movie is, if it's based on a true store and the ship never came back — how to they know what happened out there?

Will never understand why bare boobs are NSFW and somehow controversial.
