it did go up in price, and it's the single cheeseburger that's a dollar and some change now. Still, everything has gone up in price since 2013, so that's to be expected. So is fast food so cheap and easy that poor people have to eat there, as you claimed, or is is prohibitively expensive?

God forbid restaurants sell food that people actually want to eat. The horror!

It's also worth noting that it's not just fast food that's the problem. It's the choices at the fast food. A mcdouble is a nutritious piece of food. For only a dollar and some change. It's the milkshakes, fries, sodas, and over eating in general that gets you. If you're poor and have a dollar...

Sorry, I must have confused you with another poster. I thought your solution was free college for everyone.

I have a personal grudge against @ShadowArxxy and don't wish to fully jump into this conversation, but I must give her one point. She's right about the American culture around college. I think trade schools are a good alternative and we should push for that..but it's not just advertisers...

At this point, @GoldRanger I don't mind you stepping in. I am stepping out. @Xilizhra is a communist, and I respect (his/her? I honestly don't remember right now,) opinions and the right to share it, but I do not agree with it, and don't wish to have this conversation for the 1000th time. So at...

That though increases the problems with degree inflation, and them becoming useless. It doesn't sound great to hear it, but college isn't for everyone, and degrees aren't for everyone. Some measure of gatekeeping actually keeps degrees valuable, but you also want to keep opportunities open so...

Those are issues that come with making it super easy to get grants and loans, making colleges inflate their prices because they know they can get away with it. These are problems causes by government subsidies.

Those consequences DO effect me, when they refuse to take responsibility for them. I mean don't put the responsibility on society as a whole. If you lived your life dwelling In a basement or spent your time working on a useless degree, Don't blame society or the system when you go nowhere in...

Your libertarian-like response to things you disagree with, is why I hold you in high regard and respect your opinions as much as I do. Live and let live. That's my philosophy, too. If it neither picks my pocket or breaks my leg, it's of no concern to me. People should live how they like. And...

I lean right but that's mostly because the left has shot so far left rather than me moving right. I hold many socially liberal/libertarian views which I have always held. I am pro choice, (to an extent, I don't mind making the cut-off time much earlier,) and pro lgbt marriage, and pro...

I admit I carried a grudge over from SB for a specific person, but I will not say more as the staff seems revealing their identity to be doxing. This person has repeatedly burned any sense of good faith I have in them over the last 14 years and I'll leave it at that. I'd have given them a wash...

Yeah. Told you. I'm not even going to waste my time with this one anymore now that I know who it really is. It might be a personal attack, and I accept responsibility for that...but having dealt with this person for 14 years, she blew any benefit of the doubt I might give her YEARS ago. As you...

You're still not admitting that violence and riots happened all summer across the country, by mostly left wing activists. Edit: you have HEAVILY edited your post since I've posted this. Rather than responding to me, and that's just another example of your bad faith bullshit.

We literally kept telling you we aren't talking about Portland, and you kept talking about Portland. You used Portland to say my claims weren't true. Claims to which Lordsfire has now provided links to prove. And I kept telling you I am not talking about just Portland. you were not arguing in...

And that explains everything.

You know, I was giving @ShadowArxxy the benefit of the doubt.... But reading back, I have a hell of a suspicious feeling about her, and her gaslighting style of "debate." Hmmm... I think I may know who she really is, and if so, then giving the benefit of the doubt was a mistake, because if...

Biden is mixed, because at the same time he calls antifa "just an idea," and won't condemn them by name. This is so he can pretend a large part of the violence is from the right wing, and not offend his leftist base. While there has been some violence from the right, it's a false equivalency.

Oh. Yeah, I'm not even going to go looking for some of the more brutal ones I have seen. I was indeed just referring to the looting, burning, etc. And as I've said, I watched some of this stuff live. 95% of what I saw live were indeed peaceful protests. That does not excuse the FACT that lots...

I think you've done a good job illustrating EXACTLY the problem we have coexisting and conversing with the left in this thread, so in that regard, it fits here. You keep bringing up your personal experience in Portland to try to prove your point. And we keep telling you that we are talking...
