It's the guilt. It's too much to bear sometimes. I'm like a curse to everyone I meet, even those I love, yet she still loves me back. . .wtf am I supposed to do, just leave her? Will that help? Would that heal her? Tell me, God. wtf do you want? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pda29v63eXI

That means that the average Trump supporter is better educated than the average non-voter. I was under the impression that it meant Trump voters tend to make more money and have a higher education level than the national average? It's true that Clinton had more votes from those with undergraduate degrees, but what are the numbers for those with post-graduate degrees? Regardless tho, college degrees are demonstrably overrated these days. This country has been loaning 50k+ for education to anyone that wanted it for the past 20+ years or so. Now, those grads are struggling to find a good job and in over their heads with debt. Perhaps that's why they're more inclined to vote for a democrat? Perhaps they're more inclined to vote democrat because of a liberal influence in academia? Or maybe liberals in general just choose college while those with a conservative mindset pursue other avenues? The fact remains however, that Trump voters still have a higher income than Clinton voters regardless - about 12k more per year.

Perhaps this will give you a bit of prespective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9VFg44H2z8 I've given up On the media Feeds my hysteria Sick of living down on my knees I've given up On morality Feeds my brutality Fuck what you think about me I apologize: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzvasAJIHb4 One day I'll face the Hell inside me Someday I'll accept what I have done Sometime I'll leave the past behind me For now I accept who I've become And now I see clearly All these times I simply stepped aside I watched but never really listened As the whole world passed me by All this time I watched from the outside Never understood what was wrong or what was right I apologize

That means that the average Trump supporter is better educated than the average non-voter. No, it means that Trump voters make more money and have a higher education level than the national average. It is true that Clinton had more votes from those with undergraduate degrees, but what are the numbers for those with post-graduate degrees? Regardless tho, this country has been loaning 50k+ for education to whoever the hell wants it for the last 20+ years or so. Now they're struggling for a good job and over their heads in debt - no shit they're gonna have a tendency to vote liberal. But the fact remains that Trump voters still make way more money than Clinton voters - about 12k more per year. College degrees are demonstrably overrated, indeed. . . . . .You might as well waste time polling which group has the most combined inches of penis.

This is true, and while Clinton supporters have more undergraduate college degrees, Trump supporters still make more money. I wonder which group has more post-graduate degrees? Up next: Which side has the most combined inches of penis?

The Holiday weekend was pretty uneventful, and to be honest, a bit depressing for me, but today was Awesome! One of the best 4th of July's I've had in awhile. I'm often hard on my town for poor business decisions, but today they've outdone themselves. In a town of 1000 people, we've attracted nearly 5000 people to come to our beaches and witness one of the best firework spectaculars I've ever seen - it was a blast! Kudos to the talented bands that played tonight on the lake. It was truly a night to remember!

Reminds me of when my buddy and I would steal his dad's warm beer from the back porch and stash it in the snow while we'd sneak out and explore the wonders of Detroit at 12 years-old. We came back later that night/morning to harvest our cold beer, but as we snuck back in, we were welcomed by a 357 revolver pointed at our heads. Not sure if his dad thought we were burglars, or if he was just pissed that we stole his beer. Anyway, not sure if you're a Metallica fan, but I just stumbled onto this gem. Check out Lady Gaga! https://youtu.be/vGFZTqLoZeU?t=45 ETA: Here's the live Grammy version. (not sure why I missed this) Apparently they had trouble with James Mic, so this version is just mixed with James vocals from the dress rehearsal above. Gaga is a bit more done up in this version, but I think I like her better when she's raw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-y7vZkvXyQ

Social habit, nothing more. Yeah, I get that.... it's how they wrote the years back then. But if it was so common, why is it seen in only three other national documents - the Articles of Confederation, the Northwest Ordinance and the Constitution? I think they were making a an intentional and significant statement. Dating our "organic" documents in "the year of our Lord" stands in direct contrast to the British tradition of dating their documents to the reign of the current monarch of the time. One thing is clear tho, they were certainly less hostile to the idea of God than they are today. I mean, back then they at least humored it. Nowadays, they just get all butt-hurt at any notion of God.

Ya, much easier for everyone else to just foot the bill for their food and shelter. I mean, why should an employer pay enough to cover such necessities? It's not like that's the entire purpose for having a job in the first place.

They make $14 billion from food stamps alone. I wonder how much of that is coming from their own employees.

You reap what you sow. . .

Dude, I've been listening to Body Count since my early teens on OG's Track 18: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaLS_AccLYk Talkin' shit? Nigga please. . .

Dude, this is a forum designed to vent our angst, besides, those are just kick ass songs. Try to appreciate the value. If that makes me less of a man, so be it. . . .and if you're going to post in this thread, please have the common decency to post a video expressing your angst, just like everyone else. Now, without further ado, I dedicate this song to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anGprncXV3I Did you ever know that you're my hero? Also, I dedicate this song to my financial life: Back in Black https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAgnJDJN4VA . . and I dedicate this song to my spiritual life: Jesus Is Just Alright https://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=id&gl=ID&v=SwbGjzF3mB0 ETA: Dodo dodo do do do doooo . .

That might be reasonable assuming that the U.S was an autonomous society with a level playing field, but it's not. The fact is, is that production and profits have continued to soar throughout our history while wages became stagnant since the 70s. This is in large part due to globalization. U.S companies can reap the benefits of doing cheap business in other countries, but those benefits aren't necessarily passed on to the U.S worker/consumer. Businesses get to play by different rules and there is really no practical recourse for U.S workers/consumers. The money is not reinvested in the U.S. It's just sucked up. There's also another issue. I went to the super market the other day and found a pint of blueberries for $9 (they are typically $2 elsewhere) I said, "really. $9 dollars?" They said ya, people are buying them. Part of me thinks it's just because there was a sign that said 2 for 5, but let's give them the benefit of a doubt. Let's say people really are (knowingly) buying blueberries for $9 a pint. It got me thinking. There are a lot more people making big money in the U.S, primarily because of the internet, stocks, whatever. This allows businesses to capitalize on that, while screwing low to middle-class folks, right? I live in a small town. It's divided. There are a lot more rich people living here today that built big houses on Lake Huron, while the same low income people live more inland. This now allows companies to charge higher prices while skrewing the low income locals that have always been here. If they charged those prices in the past, they would've gone out of business, but now there are enough rich people here to sustain these excessively greedy business. Now the middle class is skrewed. This is just a small scale example of what's essentially happening to the U.S.

Me neither. In too many instances, I think $15 might be a bit too high. However, I think $10/hr is fair. If you can't afford to conduct business in a manner that allows you to pay $10/hr, then perhaps you shouldn't be in business. There are plenty of other (less important, government imposed) qualifiers that may limit one from conducting business, so why shouldn't paying a decent wage be one of them? My bigger problem however is with new unemployment reform laws that indirectly give businesses a financial incentive to limit an employee's hours. For example, after the automotive bankruptcies, thousands of people in Michigan were receiving ridiculous unemployment payments for years. Reform was needed, but unfortunately the new law says that you have to make a certain amount of money in each quarter to qualify, if not you're SOL. So now, instead of giving 1 employee 40 hours that would qualify for unemployment, they just give 2 employees only 20 hours so that those employees will NEVER qualify for unemployment, and thus, the employer won't have to pay into unemployment. (on a side note, this might help explain the lower unemployment numbers - it's just more people working less hours) Now you may say, "well, they just need to get a second job - problem solved." True, however, minimum wage schedules have "coincidentally" become exceedingly sporadic so that it's almost impossible to coordinate schedules with another employer. For example, you may work 3 hours from 12-3 on Monday, then work 8 hours from 4pm-12am on Wednesday, and then have to come in from 6am-10am on Thursday and then 11am-4pm on Friday. Ya, no kidding. It's ridiculous.
