The initial 2 acre plot was bought for $9000 in 1975. The entire house was built for 80K. You would be lucky to buy the land itself for 80K these days. Hatch is so full of shit it is coming out his ears. | ||

Makes Hatch's statement all the more ridiculous lol it's also sad because those who work to put themselves through school these days tend to be the ones who are also less prepared for school and more likely to drop out. in comparison, it's almost a luxury (privilege might be a better word) to be be able to do low paid/ unpaid work that will boost your resume. there's not really a bootstraps story to be told here. | ||

But I cannot for the life of me understand the deflections from Moore to Bill Clinton. It was almost 20 years ago when Clinton left office and I was 8. Like, do you expect young people to take a time machine back to 96 to vote him out? | ||

Like, do you expect young people to take a time machine back to 96 to vote him out? on average, young people vote far less than old people; and old people will remember. or maybe whataboutism needs to find a target, so they find the closest one they can, even if they have to go back quite aways. just guessing some explanations. | ||

He grew up middle class af. His mom didn't work, and him and his dad were part of the AFL-CIO. His own bio on his site says he was a metal lather (a job he probably got because his daddy was in the union). He didn't pay for law school, he was on a full ride. He did manage to keep his job in the union as a metal lather and then additionally took on a janitorial job (and a desk clerk) to take care of the family he was raising with his wife who also didn't work. I suspect a privileged life like that is what a lot of people in the Senate think of as "the poors" | ||

African-American men serve longer sentences than white men for the same crime, a new study by the U.S Sentencing Commission shows. The commission's analysis of demographic prison data from 2012 to 2016 found that black men serve sentences that are on average 19.1 percent longer than those for white men for similar crimes. The racial disparity in sentencing can't be accounted for by whether an offender has a history of violence, according to the study by the commission, an independent bipartisan agency that is part of the U.S. federal judiciary branch. When accounting for violence in an offender's past, black men received sentences that were on average 20.4 percent longer than that of white men, according to the commission's analysis of fiscal year 2016 data, the only year for which such data is available.

You use "wet" so much to include everything from a blood soaked carpet, to vaginas, to PCP. The word basically has no meaning, so saying water is wet is dumb and I don't believe you. Show me the statistics that prove water is wet and not moist or a neuro-illusion combining sensations of cold and texture to trick us into perceiving "wetness". | ||
