Read on in the article. His excuse is basically that he wants an almost million dollar house at bare minimum, saying that it would be hard to raise a family while paying off such an investment.

Friends, would you rather own a $1,000,000 home or have the ability to be happy with significantly less? 🤔

We're so back

It's gonna take a while to recover from this one 😭

"Three cities that received a perfect score last year - Detroit, Ferndale, and Ann Arbor - again earned 100. Grand Rapids also moved up to having a perfect score this year."

Going to be rereading Sydney George Fisher's The True History of the American Revolution.

This would be a bit off the usual topic. So, running a poll. Is this a book you'd be interested in reading commentary on?

First paragraph from the book, to give you a sense of flavor:

The purpose of this history of the Revolution is to use the original authorities rather more frankly than has been the practice with our historians. They appear to have thought it advisable to omit from their narratives a great deal which, to me, seems essential to a true picture.

Trolls can't handle a little snow

There's truth in both sides of this.

Plumbing is a productive mode. It's not the sort of profession that would be fulfilling for the highest IQ niggas without a penchant for it.

So they should become politicians and such? No, to succeed in those fields today requires that you tarnish your very soul. Our ruling class has set things up so that in trying to change things, you will ruin yourself.

Bright men must find something they can do that fulfills their basic telos, their God-given purpose, while also not tarnishing their souls, the very most important part of themselves.

It's difficult. But luckily, they're intelligent and that brings with it some chance of success.

On a different note, there's reason to avoid using plumber as your example. The average person's perception of plumbers is lower than for most trades:

They work on the poo poo part of the house, man! Gross.

Is thinking like that immature and stupid? Yes, but it's common perception, which is nearly always immature and stupid.

Ergo, plumber as an example is provocative, but it also makes the case less convincing. Using it will lead to your critics insulting plumbers, and with current public perception, those insults will tend to win out. Sad, but it's how it goes.

I recommend that you opt for carpentry as an example. It's more neutral in public perception, and it makes the anti-working class vitriol more self-apparent when folks see insults being thrown at Christ Himself's mortal profession
