Let’s have a war!

Whatever you need to tell yourself.

Mericans have been paycheck to paycheck for decades. It’s unique not to any one presidential administration, but to the system itself.

But Q agrees he’s less interested in actually addressing the root causes of poverty and inequality, and more interested in scapegoating the libs.

It’s not like commie socialists have ever done anything for the working class.

Here’s thought: If Q were to invest even a fraction of the time and effort he puts into what he thinks is insightful ironic political commentary into his actual job, he might not have to complain about his crappy job and poor prospects for advancement.

What are you talking about bro? This is not the thread for career smack talk.

But since you brought it up - Q is more than pleased with his high brow corner office job at a prestigious law firm.

You wanna talk crappy job with poor prospects, you should see the way Q shits all over the baristas at the coffeeshop downstairs! LOL

And yea, Q totally earned this job! It had nothing to do with his daddy pulling strings to get him thru school, then having that corner office gig just waiting right after graduation. Q didn’t even have to interview or anything!

Besides, investing time and effort is for suckers! If you wanna get rich in Merica, you gotta get rich like Q and the majority of other evil rich people do:

Have rich parents!

whatever happened to RussiaHawk?

would love his/her/their perspective right about now

[Qusdahl]

Yea

And UkraineHawk too!

Wait, pretty sure that guy plays for the Raptors now…

You're not nearly as clever as you imagine yourself to be. Put down the bong and the smart phone and take responsibility for your life.

We would all be better off focusing more on our work than on our message board discussions.

Very true. I don't post much lately, but I'm sitting in a hotel at an academic conference waiting around to watch my wife present a paper. Otherwise, I'd be occupied.

There's going to be short term struggles that Americans will have to deal with like oil shortages, product shortages, shipping delays and the like.

add in high inflation and you have business as usual these last 14 months.

So we're improving from the early days of Trump. Good to hear.

Aug 2017:

"Seventy-eight percent of full-time workers said they live paycheck to paycheck, up from 75 percent last year, according to a recent report from CareerBuilder."

Whatever you need to tell yourself.

I don't need to tell myself anything other than that you grabbed some random fact and tried to make something of it without providing any context to whether or not that fact was abnormal. We have known for a long time that too many Americans live paycheck to paycheck and do not save enough money. It was a problem before Biden, before Trump, before Obama, etc...

But you chose to make it a thing now.

So, you're going to use the "It wuz the guy afore me" excuse? Lotsa Dems seem to use that after they depose a Republican in the White House.

How dare you criticize Brandon! He's only doing exactly what his (and soon to be our) Chinese overlords are telling him to do.

No, I am going with "It has nothing to do with who is in the Oval Office and everything to do with the fact that Americans suck at saving money."

same tired schtick…nothing of substance

You’re right bro.

There’s more to Q’s wealth than just having a rich daddy. There’s also that lucrative import/export side hustle. Q’s stacking cash on that one.

See!

full of jokes....the world's at war.

fucking propaganda, by whoever and aimed at whoever, is working.

Major global issue and everyone here is still so focused on internal division...memes about "Brandon", fat jokes and Memes about Trump...who's not even in office. Its so tiring.

somebody's winning, but it ain't us.

(that was aimed at Qs exhausting schtick...but I guess it works on multiple levels)
