i find it unthinkable that conservative states with conservative minorities would favor the more conservative candidate that they are more familliar with. Then, white people over analyzed this and discussed it in disgusting ways, pissing off black people who would otherwise probably be on board in more liberal states.

Also apparently antisemitism is a bigger thing than i realized in the u.s.

Where the gently caress can you live on minimum wage?

Lot's of places. Min wage is about 1100 bucks a month if you only work 40 hours.

Your biggest cost is going to be a livable apartment in a nice town with good schools (if you've got kids). But at min wage you'll be able to snag financial assistance and won't be paying income taxes. Plus there are orgs that will actually pay your rent/utilities for you in many cases.

A car is necessary too, but that can be had for a few hundred bucks if you aren't picky. I sold my 1987 honda civic with 250,000 miles for 300 dollars and it still runs great. Just no A/C and the paint job is messed up.

And then there's the whole thing about having a plan for your life. Like, where do you want to be in 5/10 years and plan backwards from that. But most people can't think past the end of their noses.

Here's a hint for the super cheap seats: if you go through the visa process and can afford to pay it odds are you weren't poor in Mexico either and you aren't arriving in the USA with absolutely nothing. Double triple hint: THEY AREN'T GIVING VISAS TO UNSKILLED UNEDUCATED WORKERS DIPSHIT thus your comparison of legal latino immigrants to broke as gently caress kids growing up in compton is meaningless

Just goes back to what I said earlier: my family were immigrants but you're loving retarded if you think our success has nothing at all to do with blind luck or that everyone could do the same.

i live in a low income town in the cheapest part of the state without literally living in the west texas wasteland where there are literally no jobs unless you want to rustle cattle like an old timey villain and risk being hung in the town square by the county marshal. The ghettos of dallas are actually more expensive, but no 40 hour minimum wage does not meet my cost of living, and yeah there's no republican gay rear end stereotype to fall on here, rent a center is poison, i don't have tv, i have the cheapest internet that's available, i have a loving landline and pay as you go burner phones i've collected over the years to compensate for the times when i frequently still can't afford to pay internet/phone that month. Hope this helps you loving delusional retards.

most I ever made was $8 taking calls. Nobody ever acted like a human being above us grunts. Very personal, anecdotal thing but my factory jobs felt like I was actually doing something, even if it was some loving redundant task that should've been automated, and my co workers and bosses, did not act like robots, and Everywhere I've had a job that was business casual instead of bluejeans and work boots was insufferable in that way. If you don't see it you're part of the problem and should probably be first against the wall

Yep. Best job I've had to date was in a furniture warehouse.

And that's what it always comes back to unfortunately. Powerful interests who benefit from the status quo. And *that* is what black people mean by systemic racism. People would rather let black people live as they do rather than tackle the drug war because too much money is being made enforcing our idiot laws.

Probably not, to be realistic. When it comes to huge organizations like governments or multinationals 9 times out of 10 it comes down to some combination of momentum, incompetence, and bureaucracy. And it's not like politicians are loving dummies, it was really obvious that running on tougher on crime / drugs than the other guy was a loving solid way of winning elections and yes of course there were racial (among a boatload of other) reasons for this.

But times have changed and people are rapidly starting to give less and less fucks about drugs, even harder ones. I would not be surprised at all to see a serious look by politicians at using drug reform as a the primary tool to address the problem because it's a lot easier pill to swallow than anything else.

It's easy to handwave and say it's all because of some vast money conspiracy but the truth is there's very little evidence to back it up.
