The ‘make kids work at McDonald’s’ thread is interesting to me. While the lawmaker is making half-points and more conversational, there’s some truth to giving kids a sense of ownership.

I say this as my wife of Japanese and she informed me there are no free lunches and janitors in Japan. They make their own lunches AT school and clean up after themselves. Consequently, Japan has an exceptional (if sometimes unhealthy) work ethic, and a spotless society. There’s a collectivism there that helps the society function in a way we should be envious of.

A top down review on how we approach this topic is not a bad idea. ‘We have always done it this way’ is a terrible reason to continue something.

There are definitely free lunches served at school in Japan, if they're not free parents will pay for them but kids still get provided lunch.

You think American kids can handle using a ladle and counting the remaining food?  Good God, imagine the parents reactions.

  Misogynistic rhetoric (3 days)

Let's do the smart thing and stop pretending that the primary demographic whose votes Bernie Sanders did not earn aren't about to be hit the hardest by all the fuckshit that's happening now.
Like seriously? Right now? Of all days. Bernie Sanders.

Who's your preferred candidate? This weird italicized shit is bizarre.
Yeah.
Bernie Sanders.
You know, as opposed to the dumb centrist cunts we've had as major Democratic candidates for the past five decades. But I guess they're preferable, cause they're not Bernie Sanders.
The fuck?

The Bernie Sanders who claims to have marched with MLK Jr.  Miss me with that, y'all

That's a good call.  I'll also dust off my Ambien Rx incase drugs become currency in the future. 

I'm an old GenX'er that was raised by their grandparents. There was no way I was getting out of working as a kid. Both my grandparents worked on farms when they were way younger than I was when they said I needed to get some kind of job for the summer. I will tell you after helping some of my families friends on their farms, I was glad to be bagging groceries in the air conditioning.

mine was working for subway, creating sandwich art 

I worked at a upscale artisanal deli named Meritage with the hottest waitresses a teen boy could conceive of.  I think one of them was the first in town to get a tramp stamp.

I forgot about it until they brought it up, but I'm so glad that stupid Star Trek Legacy thing died. I think I would have stopped watching Star Trek at that point.-

want to look at macro trends here. This is also not the absolve the Democratic Party leadership. There's much blame to go around.

In the MSM, there's this obsession with the WWC (White Working Class) voter. You see these think pieces going to these small rural diners, trying to get the pulse of "America". This whole circus happens every Presidential cycle. The coverage itself is fine, but the obsession with these folks is something the MSM just loves to cover. It's a deeper topic than this thread.

But one thing I do notice is that many of these places are mostly red or deep red. Many have grievances, that the GOP knows how to take advantage of, but they essentially keep voting red. Again, I know the Dem leadership has been bad at messaging to these folks. But it seems every cycle these folks complain about the state of the country, yet vote red completely and downballot. Isn't that definition of insanity?

And of late, with some real consequences coming to these folks via Trump EOs, it seems they never wake up.

Most recently, we saw farmers take bath on tariffs in the previous Trump admin, but they overwhelming supported him again. And he's going really hurt with the upcoming tariffs and immigration push.

Yes, I know the Dems can do better. It's a gerontrancy at the highest level of leadership there, etc. But with a voting populace this stubborn, it seems like skating uphill.

It's cultural.

Centuries of these people's ancestors having directly or indirectly colonized other human beings for profit and social supremacy, and never having to actually face a meaningful reckoning with it- internally or externally- means you inevitably end up with a population that is predisposed to continue thinking in extremely insular and defensive ways, even if it's to their own detriment and well-being, because who the fuck are you to tell the bestest, smartest, most civilized and most powerful race on Earth otherwise?

While there is something to be said about how we should tend with the local conditions of people's unique communities, and that trying to roll up as some college-educated savior will- and should- get you kicked to the curb by any community burdened with your ego, we must also reckon with the fact that white people just simply think they are better than anyone else, and there's very little you can do in the short-term to break them out of that.

Centuries of these people's ancestors having directly or indirectly colonized other human beings for profit and social supremacy, and never having to actually face a meaningful reckoning with it- internally or externally-

You see, it's cultural.  Each white man has an internal recorded memory whether in his mind or out of it.  His ancestors, whether by direct or indirect relation has climbed the *uses finger air quotes* ladder, whether metaphorically speaking (the ladder of the mind) or metaphysically speaking (the ladder of the heart).  Could be both, too.   And when they're on that ladder, they either go up or down, ontologically speaking. That isn't the point.  The point is, whether they go up or down, they have all decided to kick that ladder after they get up because they're thinking, "My race is the smartest.  maaaaaaaaan i wanna own some slaves, no for real I could srsly use some fkn slaves rn", at all times.   Sometimes you just wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can't, but it's cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose.  Think about it.  Don't be fooled, it's cultural for them to think about black people 24/7, they're crazy, they think about race non-stop.  And whether that race is internal (dna, blood, the globs of cum both in AND out of the so-called cock) or external (the race of the mind, the race against time, the race out of the convention because she's looking for her money and I don't have it, Look, I'm good for it I just don't have it right now) we can't break them out of the spell (metaphor fantazioly speaking).  Let me reiterate that thinking about race 24/7, you inevitably end up predisposed to continue thinking in extremely insular and defensive ways, even if it's to their own detriment and well-being.  Dont ever let that happen.

Can we please stop derailing the thread? People are literally worried about losing their health insurance.

To be fair, people were worried about this kind of thing before the election as well. But who has time for such details!

Conservatives think they're smarter on this topic than people who earned their PhD by researching it. Insufferable.

She's so vague all the time. Is she thinking of something like this for every white person on the planet?

It’s amazing. There’s a complete lack of introspection from these guys. Their political and cultural insight couldn’t be worse. It’s the Jim Cramer thing, where you’re better served doing the inverse of what he says. Keep going. It’s worked out great so far.
