Because there was a black millionaire in the early 1900s, it was easier to be poor and black before/during the civil rights movement than it is in modern day?

I dont feel like we are having a coherent converation and these replies are purely reactive?

So, we have been progessing over time, until recently, correct?

Now lets bring being poor as a different demographic than white male in history as well.

But would you consider that poor then? Maybe money was easier to obtain, but starvation/malnutrition rates have constantly been on a steady decline until the last few years. Not often you see people using a burlap sack to cloth their families, child labor, things like that. And we do have a lot of social programs like SNAP that didnt exist pre-1970s.1980s had the Homeless act. The world has changed drastically in the last 50-100 years.

But I guess you could make solid arguments that the economy is generally harder now, so its worse for the majority, incuding the poor.

Fuck billionaires and all, but I think two things are wrong with this.

First, comparing hollywood to real life. They were making super yachts in the 1800s. El Mahrousa was built in 1865 and still in the top 10 in size.

But those megayachts sre super unnecessary and terrible for enviroment.

Secondly, times just generally changed. Poor people shifted a lot too. 1970s poor was a lot more poor than modern poor generally.

But we should still fix the system that fucks over thr majority.

Wait, so you are saying you have either lived continuously on a 29ft boat for 5 years, or only have visited land by dinghy or something while its anchored?

Wild. That’s got to be a nasty looking hull though.

If you consider that healthcare for everyone, then America as a whole bears and shares the cost of healthcare for everyone because of Obamacare?

But this is also an article about Massachusetts…

Dumbass bills are introduced all the time. The news likes to bring them up but never talks about most of them being shot down though.

Idk why you are talking about scraping when I said API?

And is all that information in the training contract?

Its just an API, right?

60 million a year for access to the relatively public data… That seems pretty good to me tbh.

Also, there are mechanisms in place(assuming this is an American post). I know because I’m taking advantage of them.

I’m poor, at a respected university, and about graduate with a Bachelors. Might have spent 3k overall on school. Pell Grant was amazing.

Aint a perfect system, but still works a lot of the time

Single video…

100% think fuck the law, its an embarassment.

Guess I just hate how exaggerated things get online nowadays. So much more productive to have an honest conversation rather than say " I guess that means trans people can shit wherever they want to in public" imo

Idk, Utah’s pretty decent. Its definitely modernizing sowly but still stumbles, like your example I didn’t know what you were talking about, so here’s the story for anyone else

https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/utah-joins-10-states-regulating-bathroom-access-transgender-people-rcna136521

Basically, people are supposed to use the “sex assigned at birth” in government/public school buildings.

Shits fucking dumb, but I bet nobody is checking ids at bathrooms and nobody has to shit on the streets. I hope they revert this dumb law but I think I think honesty about situations is important.

Is Taylor Swift’s fan base still “youth”?

I mean, check all the numbers around the country. Obviously numbers are going to increase closer to election season, especially another very controversial one.

Let’s just hope Swift isnt the big moving force, since the candidates she endorsed in Tenessee in 2018 lost while she was getting the same type of news stories

The correct number of zeros was my question tbh

I’m not very opinionated on guns tbh, but I do think this only makes it more difficult for poor people. I’m not sure I agree with that.

Is 116.00 supposed to be like 116,000? Must have shot up since the article was published then?

Cassidy is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 15. He has raised more than $84,000 for his defense from nearly 2,000 supporters, according to the fundraising site GiveSendGo.
