Man the russian-oil-propaganda-polluted trumptards are going to lose their shit when those goofy looking things start delivering mail. Communist mail trucks from O’Biden! Etc

A pile of BS

IDK what the wait time is about on the green bar. I typically have no trouble getting a same-day general practice doctor appointment with a phone call in the morning, in the USA. Has been this way for all my life and I was born last century.

Specialist appointments are where I have encountered delays of weeks.

Coffee isn’t expensive or time consuming. I pay about $7 for 12oz of ground coffee, and it lasts for at least a couple weeks’ worth of brewing an 8-cup pot of fresh coffee every morning.

I suppose if you pay someone else to make your coffee it would cost more, but that would be a massive waste of money to do on a regular basis.

All of the rights on the Bill of Rights are good and we should support them all. Case in point ^^

I think one of his worst pieces of advice is to pay off debts before saving for an emergency fund (if I remember correctly)

Saving some kind of emergency fund first is more important than not having any debts. Having money on hand is worldly power in your hand basically. If you’re debt free but broke, then you can’t deal with an emergency that requires money.

No bathroom breaks, piss at your desk in a jug!

They really should develop an OS that can recognize when a nonessential driver is causing it to crash, and bypass it on subsequent reboots. If it’s not a hardware or filesystem driver then fuck it and start up without it in a warning mode.

The 2nd Amendment will likely be in place long after all of us are dead, because it is a right that the majority of Americans support, and because amending the Constitution is required to change it, and because amending the Constitution is very difficult.

Constitutional amendments require a 2/3 majority vote of both houses of Congress to pass (initially) then must also pass ratification by 3/4 of state legislatures. Only takes 13 red states to vote NO to block it. All of the red states are going to vote against it, every time, because the right to bear arms is an inherent right that we will never give up.

It is a valid line of inquiry if you consider that not taking care of basic personal hygiene is a symptom of mental incompetence. We do not want to elect a mentally incompetent leader. By all visible evidence, the man has working arms and hands that should presumably be able to reach to wash himself. So if he goes around smelling like a toilet dumpster then something is mentally wrong there.

Of course there have been numerous other indications of such issues beyond the reports of stench.

The deep South actually has the highest percentage of the USA’s black population.

We had more vehicles than people for awhile at my place, more than we could drive at once

It really seems like you’re imagining a bunch of things I never said anything about, because you want to get on your soapbox and talk more about poverty. Everything I suggested is completely achievable by many of those in poverty, to which I speak from personal experience.

I disagree with the assertion points 1 through 6 are factual. Those are all extremely broad generalizations based on assumptions you hold. Some of those things do happen on occasion of course, but it’s not a railroad track of 1 leads to 6 with no other possibilities. The financial industry is heavily regulated by the US Gov’t which exerts control to prevent much of 1 - 3 on your list.

Well I’ve lived through poverty and the Debt Trap and worked my way out of it into success and stability, but if you want to ignore my advice that’s your problem. My financial literacy allowed me to buy a house and land.

You have no fucking clue what I know about, actually.

I could ask you the same thing, and it would be bullshit to me, just as whatever I reply with would be to you. From my perspective you’re in some dumbass communist fantasy based on the internet ramblings of children.

Sure thing Lenin, and I am the walrus.

Anyone who has access to the Internet can begin learning the basics of financial literacy right now. That is the only barrier, other than being literate.

Here are some basic tips that could get someone with zero financial literacy started:

1. Don’t use credit cards unless you can pay them off before interest accrues at the end of the month, otherwise you are wasting money and entering the Debt Trap.

2. Don’t use Doordash and other expensive delivery services, pick up your own food or make it at home.

3. Make a budget, which should at least consist of a list of your monthly expenses such as housing, food, utilities, etc, and keep track of what you spend on it.

4. Subscriptions are leeches, don’t subscribe to anything that you can avoid.

5. If you have an employer provided retirement plan, always put in what they will match so that you get the full match (free money).

Yes of course it is sustainable. We have the resources to do everything we need for hundreds of years here in the USA without any external dependencies. The disaster recovery and continuity plans and infrastructure are already in place to ensure that the US government will continue through a variety of apocalyptic scenarios.
