Only if you’re in California

Oh it was accidental. Somebody just let loose in a manhattan office and managed to hit a few parasites, go figure. They really meant to attack the nfl for suppressing research into the effects of head trauma on football players

Not just paying taxes to I’d wager. Buying products from, being indebted to, working to make richer

No interest in letting in more tradespeople to buff up the construction industry?

They used to do this and it turned out exactly how you describe. I would probably also add it’d incentivize politicians to dismantle educational institutions serving certain demographics

Propaganda efforts large than we can imagine operating for decades. How has the rural poor identity morphed from union men and worker solidarity to backing military and police? It got too dangerous and they stomped it out with myths of foreign adversaries. I’m of the mind that we need to reach across political lines to overcome this, we can’t allow them to split the country evenly in half or we’ll be in a deadlock forever that just lets them do what they want. It can seem herculean but there are shades of it when a CEO is killed on the streets or a bunch of politicians work together to protect pedophiles; political identity fades and it becomes more obvious that it’s us against them

Also a lot of the most disenfranchised are kept from voting at all. Either they have to work, polling place is too far away and they don’t have a car, polling place getting changed, don’t have a permanent address

I don’t think it was always restricted to manicured courses. I’m reading that the dutch used to play a similar game in spring, summer, fall, and even in the winter playing on ice

I don’t think anyone’s been taking the high road. I mostly just see people playing into the propaganda that keeps us from achieving class consciousness.

A lot of factors of one’s success are totally out of their control too. Also, I don’t think their success is really something a kid should be worried about manifesting yet

I’d probably guess the Italians

Isn’t that the guy the IRA assassinated and everyone fucking wept over?
