Well it could be very fast. This administration has proven that you can ram through a lot of change very rapidly. Theoretically a progressive president could do the same.
I don't expect it though
Yep we have evidence in the paleolithic of individuals without teeth living for several years after they lost them. That means their community was chewing their food for them. Which is crazy to think about.
Not to mention there is also evidence of severely disabled people, typically from injuries, surviving full lives. These individuals mobility would have been very limited, but people jus took care of them. Because that's what you did.
Pretty much yeah, but until my fellow citizens wake the fuck up I still gotta access the system to live unfortunately
I've made it to what is typically classified as an "excellent" score with practically no debt and have paid no interest all while spending within my means. Here's how I did it.
I have several credit cards that I keep paid off every month. I almost always buy things with store promotion credit (no fees or interest), which is typically another credit card or small loan, and pay it off within the promotional period. I do this with purchases I need to make anyway, like a washing machine, and not on anything frivolous.
I paid all expenses for a nice vacation recently with new travel cards. I could have paid out of pocket, but now I can pay it off slowly with 18 months interest free and get the points.
I do drag these payments out a little during the promotional periods because while I can pay outright I do like keeping cash reserves for emergencies. That probably does help.
The only loan I have ever had was a very very small student loan. Paid that immediately after covid loan pauses ended. I did recieve a credit hit of about -20, but in 3ish months I was above where I started. I've noticed everytime I pay off any large credit it takes an immediate hit, but always grows higher in a few months.
So far I've not been denied on any credit I've accessed and typically get good terms, so I'm not sure how true it is that I'll be denied for having a good score. But I am just barely at that "excellent" score.
Now the downside and credit to your point is this took a very long time. If I bought a ton of things I could barely afford and just barely made payments, maybe even missed a few, my score would have grown so much faster. Paying on an irresponsible loan for 5 years is considered "better" than me paying my credit card off every month.
Imo that's the racket, people that spend irresponsibly grow their score much faster. It does indeed promote overconsumption.
But it is still possible to grow a good credit score with slow incremental work. It's unfair and a bad system. I'd rather not have to do any of this, but it's possible.
You can raise it well without going beyond your means, but then it's a slow and annoying racket.
In this house we hang fascists.
Even if he did all he needs to do is "sell" physical assets to family before any liens are placed.
Cash is a bit more difficult, but large one time gifts have special tax rules
Seems a bit pedantic, but sure.
New roads are unlikely to fix issues in many places. Small to medium sized town building a new connector would be helpful. Not so helpful for anything large or metro sprawl. Those places mostly limit themselves to adding additional lanes with little result
Sure an extra lane can relieve congestion, for a bit then 10 years later you're back to where you started or worse.
This is mostly due to the fact that American cities grow sprawl and not density. So basically unless there's a population collapse adding another lane is a temporary solution.
That's why they are basically always adding new lanes, they can't keep up with the demand. So instead of continually trying to keep up with demand it's time to work on reducing demand
It's just them not accepting their sexuality fully. Like you can be bi and married to the opposite gender and be just fine.
I think it's the denial that causes the issues
I avoided bullying in school by being fucking oblivious. It was effective.
Maybe that could be taught
I think a lot of these men are bisexual but heteroromantic, thus why suppressing their sexual desires are easier.
Honestly the eugenics issues aside the idea of the state regulating one of the most basic facets of humanity disgusts me.
What does that look like, forced birth control, forced abstinence, forced abortions? Sounds like a dystopian hell
No need to come at me, the fact of the matter is the majority of people won't take time. I take the time, but most won't. If you want the biggest impact you'll always draw the largest crowds on a weekend.
I don't disagree with you I'm just being pragmatic. A protest of 1,500 is a bigger deal than a protest of 200. That's the typical difference in my city with weekend vs weekday protests
I think the lead brained boomers are a lost cause.
The group to convince are the unengaged or those that just vote a certain way without putting much thought.
At least in my city we are fortunate that the government buildings are located at a key intersection. Weekdays we usually just get heckled by lead brained boomers. Weekends there are way more cars, a more diverse audience, and more support in general.
It just simply won't have the same turnout. Frankly I think weekend protests are more visible since the average person is more likely to be out and about and not at their job.
I think making the people see it and then you pressure the politicians. The politicians don't give a fuck if thousands of people are gathered outside a building.
I attend my local protests and take the time off to do so. The last no kings protests pulled well over 1,000. Other weekend protests typically pull around 300 - 400 people. Weekday protests typically pull barely 100, if we're lucky 150 people. It just has less impact.
