Short-term they’re different,

That’s like saying in a million years everyone will be dead, so why do anything?

That happened after Trump tore up the treaty, right?

Thank you. You’re going to get a lot of nonsense where people keep telling you that voting is meaningless. Don’t listen.

You do know that Obama signed a peace treaty with Iran that even the Israeli Mossad said was working? You knew that, right?

So, both sides are the same and don’t vote?

Funny how every time the GIOP does something awful we see a lot of BoTh SIdes ArE The SAMe memes.

No actual plans or ideas, but lots of memes telling people not to vote.

Except that the rich know who to bribe with campaign contributions.

Look at Ronald Reagan. As an actor, he was not a giant star. Plenty of folks got a higher salary. Reagan lucked into a job as spokesman for General Electric, at the time one of the biggest companies in the world. Reagan hung out with the big shots and introduced them to his Hollywood buddies; in return he got stock tips and investment opportunities that made him rich.

You’re middle class if you’re still working for your money. You’re rich when your money works for you.

A $5 million a year actor/athlete still has to work; they are also paying for their trainers, agents, dietitians, clothes etc. They are upper middle class.

A trust fund baby with an income of $1 million a year is the rich one. imho.

Your cousin is Art Vandaly?

Short version. My boss pays me enough so I don’t quit, and I work hard enough so he doesn’t fire me.

The logical answer is that too many Computer Science majors loved Silver Age comic books.

The Martian Manhunter was stronger than superman, but couldn’t handle fire. Green Lantern was similarly godlike, but was unable to control anything colored yellow.

I need a salary,

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I’m fulla woe,

If I wanna get laid…

I owe,

Oh, how much I owe!

I am a fan of the Travis McGee novels by John D. MacDonald. Introduced to them in childhood and still worth a re-read.

Travis was a ‘salvage consultant’ who would rob loot back from criminals, and then retire for as long as the money lasted.

To be fair, my buddy has been doing this for a while. Baby steps.

Heard an interview one. The man said that at 20 he could imagine being 40, and at 40 he could imagine being 80. He was 67 at the time…

Knew a fellow who had a similar look. He’d go into the bars and hand the hottest woman there a $20 and ask her to buy the drinks because he was afraid of getting carded. Most of the time they enjoyed the idea of corrupting an innocent and paid for his drinks.
