What do I do when a tiny apartment and food is getting beyond my means? The cost of damn near everything fucking tripled in the past 6 years or so, and I got a 7% raise last year.

Most Americans are getting priced out of the market, and it’s only a matter of time that the house of cards our government calls an economy falls.

I hope it doesn’t come to that, but I do hope he actually gets fired instead of resigning.

So many people have bent the knee to trump for fear of their jobs.

He’s the director of the Smithsonian, if he still wants or needs work, I’m sure he can get another job. It’s time for people in charge to actually put their foot down and make trump send goons to fire them. Make him actually work a little to destroy this country, instead of rolling over at the first vacant glare he sends their way.

2/3rds of Americans OD’d in 100 days?

Where the fuck was I, someone must have been handing out the good shit for free.

I’m an HVAC technician with 5 years of experience in commercial refrigeration.

You know someone that would sponsor an immigrant?

My DNA is such a fucking mashup that I could theoretically go to almost any European country.

Take me back.

.308 is expensive.

You want to know what else is expensive? Body armor.

The marines ran into this issue a while back. A lot of causalities were caused by groin shots. The chest armor they were wearing was fine for stopping 7.62, but they’d get tagged in the pelvis and bleed out anyway.

Now the marines have crotch armor too, but that’s also expensive and uncomfortable to wear.

Just a little tidbit.

Who writes the test?

Who determines the test is at a fifth grade level?

Who will proctor the test?

Where will the test be administered?

When will the test be administered?

Who decides what a passing grade is?

Who grades the test?

Who verifies the grade on the test?

At every step there is an easy way to disenfranchise whatever people you don’t like. For instance: simply make the test only available at noon on the Monday before election. Make it only able to be taken at town hall. Immediately, anyone who works an hourly job will no be effectively disqualified from voting because they can’t take the test.

Now make the exam only available in English. Anyone who cannot speak English is now disqualified.

There are so many ways for literacy tests to go wrong, they’re pretty much only good for excluding people you don’t like from voting. Just let everyone vote and make it a mandatory holiday.

Times are getting tough for sure.

It speaks to the quality of the people.

I have learned that the Swedish just tend to be more racist than people from other countries, so are Bulgarians, and the Polish, although the latter 2 are mostly bigoted against other Europeans.

I’ve had to ban every Swede I’ve ever added to my discord because they refuse to stop saying the N-word Every other sentence.

That’s 5 Swedes to 1 American that I’ve banned for racial slurs. Y’all racist as fuck.
