It's disappointing that the effects of discrimination against childless men are downplayed in the article, which focuses on discrimination against mothers.

My jaw dropped when I heard this self-identified business owner say that suppressing wages is a bad thing.

We need more business owners like him.

You’re just discounting the entire portion of people who don’t want families.

No, I'm simply saying I don't know any men like that personally. I know they exist, of course. It's just that in my circle of influence I only know family-focused men. My whole point was that such men aren't necessarily a rarity, but now I'm starting to think that was the point all along.

Yeah, exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

While you're at it, write an executive order dissolving Congress and establishing the President as a dictator. It's an "official act" so it should be fine, right?

Maybe a folding box cutter. The blades are very short and disposable, so you won't need to worry about sharpening them.

Nice to meet you, Mare. 🙂

First of all, congrats on being able to sell a used UV-5R. They're worth literally nothing used, so you must have some mad salesmanship skills.

But since you had to sell your 'Feng to make ends meet, you might want to just sit back a bit before getting back into the hobby. It can be done very inexpensively, but that's relative, and someone who is hurting enough for an extra $5-10 to sell their Baofeng definitely can't afford what it would take to get more active in amateur radio.

I know this probably isn't what you were hoping to hear, but other than showing up to club meetings there isn't much you can do that won't cost more than the $20 to buy another UV-5R. Even homebrew projects like building antennas for your SDR will cost at least that much.

Forget about making a fortune, I just want to be able to afford to move out of my parents' house.

I'm so glad to be an online-only student.
