This is one of those quotes that’s like “oh who said that? Thomas Hobbes? Shakespeare?” and no it’s Evil 90s Will Riker from Gargoyles

I'm the anon who talked about my country earlier. Someone asked if the country I was talking about is Italy. Boy, our asshole makes me wish we had the italian asshole. Some of his greatest hits: "I wouldn't rape you because you don't deserve it" (said to a congresswoman); talking fondly about military man who tortured people during our military dictatorship period; saying that natives who live in tribes are bums; saying that being gay means you lack a beating, and a lot more. 1/2
I honestly think he is going to win. Only take those “Come to Brazil” invitations if you’re a rich white dude, people. 2/2

Yikes man that sounds terrifying
ive never read something so obviously written by a soccer mom with superfluous income in my entire life
[id: an infographic titled “major corporate contributors to the supporters of Florida’s ‘don’t say gay’ bill.” It lists the following corporations and the amount they spent. They are: charter communications, $229,000; draft kings, $50,000; PepsiCo, $35,00; AT&T, $102,500; comcast NBCUniversal, $92,000; anheuser-Busch, $35,000; Walgreens, $31,500; Zillow, $20,000; and Amazon, $7,500.

So poor people don’t deserve to have money?!
THEY’LL JUST WASTE IT ON SURVIVAL!
Also, if you’ve taken more than a high school economics course taught by someone who has never stepped foot in a college economics class,
Giving $500 to poor people multiplies it REALLY FAST. That $500 immediately goes into the economy and ripples more purchases until it hits a rich pocket.
Giving $500 to a billionaire takes $500 out of the economy permenantly. You could have set it on fire and made no difference.
That is such an important part of the conversation that rich people seem to purposefully misunderstand whenever it’s brought up
Money exists to be spent, not hoarded. Yes, people should have saving, but no one should be sitting on a pile of money too big to spend in a single lifetime. “The economy” as a concept only works if people are spending money, and the people hoarding the money are so quick to blame the people who barely have any when the economy starts to fail
Having a big string of numbers in an offshore account doesnt make you an economic genius, it makes you a parasite that is ruining the economy for everyone else

A Confederate monument valued at $500,000 was stolen in March from a Selma cemetery, officials confirmed today.
This morning, a group that claims to have taken the monument, the Jefferson Davis Memorial Chair, sent emails to AL.com saying they will give the chair to the United Daughters of the Confederacy if that organization agrees to hang a banner outside its Richmond, Va. headquarters.
In those emails, a group calling itself White Lies Matter say they stole the chair from the Old Live Oak Cemetery and are demanding that the UDC hang a large banner at 1 p.m. on Friday -- the anniversary of the Confederacy’s surrender in the Civil War -- and leave it there for 24 hours.
The banner bears a quote from Assata Shakur, a Black Liberation Army activist: “The rulers of this country have always considered their property more important than our lives.”
White Lies Matter said it had already delivered the banner to the UCD.
“Failure to do so will result in the monument, an ornate stone chair, immediately being turned into a toilet,” the email states. “If they do display the banner, not only will we return the chair intact, but we will clean it to boot.”
“Like most Confederate monuments, (the chair) mostly exists to remind those who’s freedom had to be purchased in blood, that there still exists a portion of our country that is more than willing to continue to spill blood to avoid paying that debt down,” the White Lies Matter email states.
“We took their toy, and we don’t feel guilty about it. They never play with it anyway. They just want it there to remind us what they’ve done, what they are still willing to do. But the south won’t rise again. Not as the Confederacy. Because that coalition left out a large portion of its population. All that’s left of that nightmare is an obscenely heavy chair that’s a throne for a ghost whose greatest accomplishment was treason.”
King shit

For reference, the federal minimum wage would have you earning roughly on average $1,256.66 a month
It’s recommended your rent only be 30% of your total budget, so with an average monthly rent of $1,827 that would mean your average renter’s monthly income should ideally be $6,090
That would be roughly $35.13 hourly or $73,080 annually
However, the average renter’s household income is only $42,500 annually or $20.43 hourly (as of 2019 according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey)
This means either rent prices are too unsustainably high and price gouging or wages are too unsustainably low and predatory
Or both
(Hint: it’s both)
not to mention most apartments won’t even allow you to apply unless you make 3 times rent.
The physics department is trying to put me into AST 200 classes next semester because they’re only taught every other year and they don’t want me to wait a year to take classes and so I’m going to be the only sophomore in the AST 200 classes and then the only junior in the AST 500 classes and I obviously have to take prereqs and university requirements at the same time so it’s looking like I’ll be taking 20+ credits a semester from here on out but I’ll graduate in 3 years instead of 4
