Not really a humane solution in my opinion

My Opinion: professionalpeachhunk: [[This is Isaiah Hineā€™s high school presentation on white fragility. Youā€™re not going to get a simpler explanation, in my opinion, so if youā€™re white you should really read this. Below are Isaiahā€™s notes on each slide.]] ā€” What is White Fragility? Robin DiAngelo is a professor at Westfield State University and author of What Does it Mean to Be White? Developing White Racial Literacy. Iā€™m sure youā€™ve all seen these ā€˜defensive movesā€™ in action before. ā€œI didnā€™t mean anything by itā€ ā€œI wasnā€™t trying to be offensiveā€ ā€œI have a black friendā€ ā€œNot all white peopleā€ People are often more worried about being called a racist than actually doing something racist. In America white people often donā€™t even have to consider race. They often think of themselves as ā€œracelessā€ white is conditioned to be the norm and everyone else is considered ā€œracedā€ or ā€œcoloredā€. White fragility allows white people to govern when and how race is discussed. White people expect to be educated on racism, and in a nice way. ā€” Why Is It A Bad Thing? White people never learn as a result and are allowed to continue saying and doing racist things. White people prefer to hear these things from other white people but because other white people donā€™t know enough about racism, they cycle continues. When people of color do things like the BLACKLIVESMATTER movement, many white peoples responses were ā€œall lives matterā€ this is white fragility. Proclaiming that black lives matter does not inherently mean that other lives donā€™t. This statement is made because society continually shows us that black lives donā€™t matter in america and these are the lives that need the affirming. We already know that white lives matter, it doesnā€™t need to be stated. White people are very used to being the center of things and when they arenā€™t it makes them uncomfortable. ā€” Why Does This Happen? Most people donā€™t fully grasp the idea of systemic racism and that we live in a racist society that perpetuates racist ideas. We are socialized into white supremacy.

My Opinion: Pendulum financialeconomicsexplainedus: POSTED:Ā  10/09/2019 The Stock market, as well as the overall economy, moves between a boom and bust cycle - it basically moves between growth and value investing - it is that simple! After a recession, when the whole stock market cycle, the business cycle and the credit cycle have gone bust:Ā  interest rates are low to super low, the Fed is trying to stimulate the economy - Investors start to look at Growth Stocks/ Growth-Oriented Mutual Funds (a growth stock is one that generally averages about 20% growth per year along with the technology sectors like semiconductors and Biotech/Pharmaceuticals)ā€¦.. Small Cap stocks/Mutual Funds also take off - money is cheap to borrow to fund R&D, marketing expenses, etc. But Value stocks/Mutual Funds also start to rise:Ā  A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS - was the 90ā€²s moniker! Hence, the market starts to take off:Ā  as markets start to heat up and the economy starts to OVERHEAT - the Fed starts to raise interests to COOL the market down - like in November 1999 - the Fed had raised the Federal Funds rate way up to a whopping 6.5% to try and cool down the economy and to put a damper on the Dot.com Boom - fueled stock market!Ā  Those who forget history do not recall that the yield curve inverted in 1998; the Federal Funds rate was too high in 1999 (FYI side note:Ā  the ā€œaverageā€ technology mutual fund in 1999 was up 100%!!!!!!!!!!!! by yearsā€™ end)Ā  Guess what?Ā  The whole market crashed in April 2000! So from that time to about mid-June 2000 - the market went nowhere!Ā Ā  Value investing and investing in Bonds (like Intermediate and Long-term Treasury Bonds (backed by the full faith of the US government) went up from June 2000 to December 2000 (Berkshire Hathaway A shares went up over 85% that year within 6 months!).Ā  Warren Buffet?Ā  Look him up!Ā  Treasuries also did extremely well - like one ā€œTalking Headā€ has been quoted as saying - ā€œThere is always a Bull Market somewhereā€ā€¦ā€¦ And the whole process starts over again from a boom to bust cycle, about every 10 years or soā€¦ā€¦the Real Estate Market moves in a boom to bust cycle about every 7 yearsā€¦.

Guys - the overall stock market climbs in a stair-step fashion:Ā  up, then sideways/down and then up again!Ā  Invest for the long term (like 30-50+ years)ā€¦.YOU WILL BE A WINNER!Ā  Be it an investment account or a retirement account or BOTH:Ā  like a personal investment account and a ROTH IRA or an employer-sponsored 401k Plan along with a personal investment account. Dollar-Cost Average your contributions to personal investment/ROTH accounts; that is invest the same $ amount each and every month - regardless, whether the market is up or down!Ā  Ignore the noise!Ā  Ignore the Talking Headsā€. CURRENT MARKET :Ā  MY OPINION Me personally, I am accumulating cash and letting my current investment portfolio just ride along with this geo-politically fueled/baseless rate cut economic environment ā€¦Impeachment talks, China Trade War escalation, Iran concerns, Saudi Arabia bombings, Japan-South Korea tensions as well as renewed North Korea tension over prior failed talks, the American Farmers plight due to the trade war, negative return/yield rates on European Bonds, Brexit concerns, a dollar that is too strong, etc. When American companies start to cut back, lay people off, these people can not keep spending to keep GDP/the economy growing, then these people can not pay their mortgages/auto loans/credit cardsā€¦.Will it beĀ ā€œsomewhatā€ similar to 2008ā€¦ all over again? I have no professional opinion nor do I have a crystal ball ā€“ Maybe the FED will engineer a ā€œSOFTā€ Landingā€ā€¦..this time: they never did in the past when ā€œBubblesā€ Greenspan or ā€œHelicopter Benā€ Bernake were FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMEN. THOSE THAT FORGET HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT ITā€¦. Flash

My Opinion: Sammi Thursday 11:51 AM Gimme a topic and I'll come up with a witty pick up line for it Or it'll be terrible, but then you can send it to your friends and laugh about it Thursday 12:24 PM That will be perfect Ummmm cereal! Thursday 1:14 PM You must be a bowl of cheerios because you are making my heart feel better already Tuesday 9:44 AM Ah so it was terrible That was actually cute. Idk why I didn't reply Tuesday 1:00 PM Was it cause you didnt want to make awkward small talk after? BECAUSE WE CAN DO BIG TALK IF THATS YOUR THING Tuesday 10:44 PM WHY DO YOU HAVE THE CUTEST THINGS TO SAY BECAUSE CUTE PEOPLE BRING OUT THE CUTE THINGS IN ME Not gonna lie you're like my top tinder guy now. You're SO smooth Tuesday 11:02 PM I'd like to suggest limbo for a date. That way I can lower the bar and continue to exceed expectations Tuesday 11:57 PM How about a baseball game? You're making a lot of homeruns with your puns and you're a real catch. Also, yet haven't had a strikeout yet in my opinion Today 2.14 AM What about going bowling? I know we're avoiding strikes but we'll have to make an exception because you're a serious 10/10. I'd say an 11/10 for the ability to send one back my way but that'd break the scoring system Today 9:47 AM I don't mean to drive you batty with all of the date suggestions... but a haunted house may be better. The way you can come up with all of these is quite frightening. Also l'd rather be scared by the ghouls in the haunted house than being ghosted by you. Today 10:03 AM A haunted house with you would be a frighteningly good time. Fear not about ghosts, the only ghosting I intend to do is calling you "boo". Today 11:31 AM I'm dead hence why you're calling me "boo" Before you die, can I grab your number?? Today 1:44 PM :) Type a message... GIF Turning ghosting in my favor

My Opinion: GOP Lawmaker Just Got Outed As The Founder Of Popular Pro-Rape Group by Bruce White Apr 25, 2017 Bonnie Bacarisse of The Daily Beast made a recent discovery that Republican Rep. Robert Fisher (R-NH) is in fact the founder of the "Red Pill" a men's rights misogyny group based on the online forums Reddit and 4chan 13 Fisher wrote, under the username FredFredrickson, "I'm going to say it-Rape isn't an absolute bad, because the rapist I think probably likes it a lot. I think he'd say it's quite good, really." Fisher was asked if he thought it was creepy for a 40-year-old man check-out a 15-year- old's breast. He responded by saying: "In my opinion, no. It's evolutionarily advantageous and perfectly natural." The Republican Congressman has also said that women have "sub-par intelligence," that their personalities are "lackluster and boring, serving little purpose in day to day life.," and that "lt is literally the [female] body that makes enduring these things worth it." The lawmaker stated, "l cannot be honest about my accomplishments or ambitions without ridicule. I am running for a state political position, I'm a high level exec in a franchising company, and I own two business locations in state. I found that stating it simply... nets me negativity on dates if l'm honest." nevertrustamanwho: femmebosskoopa: imamisfittoy: sardonicblisters: yayfeminism: A New Hampshire Republican State Representative anonymously created the ā€œRed Pillā€ subreddit. Wow. these arenā€™t just bullshitter dweebs in their momā€™s basements trolling the internet, these are men who formulate the way we implement laws and who govern the way we live our lives. ^^^ Hello, yes, everyone needs to see this. Itā€™s not always a bunch of nobodies trolling around on 4chan. Itā€™s, doctors, lawyers, judges, businessmen, bankers, law enforcement, etc. People who have pulls on society. They literally donā€™t see other groups besides themselves as human or equal ā€¦holy shit like this is bad really really bad but so much clearly so if youā€™ve ever read the scum that floats to the top of the Red Pill. Like basically he was just outed as the creator of a neo-nazi misogynist pro-rape forum explicitly to recruit online loners and groom them like itā€™s EVERYTHING weā€™ve been saying these people do but this is like, the hive. For the anon asking why not trust red pill guys
