Coulda sworn #fredo was trending.

The Dow took a huge dip and people are telling us to prepare for another recession.

The good economy hasn’t helped me any so fine.

I wouldn't exactly say that this economy has been good. Obama pulled us out of a recession and left us with an immense job growth but most of those jobs don't pay us enough.

Edit: My friend is trying to get me to temp at his University job but I don't want to assist in the torture of animals.

Just making a point here...

Still no official statement. Rumors of this came from one unofficial source. This is a perfect example of biased agenda based rumor mill reporting that occurs on both sides of the political spectrum.

I do however expect an official report coming out soon reporting that the cameras malfunctioned though so I guess it really doesn't matter.

I don’t need the media to explain this crock of **** to me. News stories trying to frame public reaction to this as weird right wing extremism is bs. There’s no possible way this happened without a conspiracy to make it happen. He was either killed or intentionally given the means and the motive to kill himself. The story that it was simple negligence is absurd and it was probably just straight murder.

And trying to paint it as ridiculous that Clinton was involved discredits honest journalism. Something this obvious shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.

They join the long ass list of people who would be willing to kill over this. Saying it was only them is disrespectful to all the other evil people in this country.

If it wasn't people still running the ring, my money would be on de Blasio or Cuomo over the Clintons. Billy's been evading rape claims for decades, Epstein would just be a notch in the belt.

His new twitter account isn't even a one hit wonder. He made an intro video about how he was going to "set the record straight" but all he does is talk about ****ing football. I'm sorry that has nothing to do with anything but I'm so disappointed and need to vent.

jwb 08-14-2019 02:49 PM

I actually think that's kind of funny for him to do that

The Batlord 08-14-2019 02:53 PM

It's not even real football. It's FANTASY football. Like **** you and if you didn't kill your wife then I'm glad she's dead.

jwb 08-14-2019 02:56 PM

He already wrote a book about how he killed her. He just framed it as hypothetical. He's a genuine IRL troll.

Fantasy football is based off of what they do in real life so in a way he's talking about real football.

3 years. Trump set the new record.

Autopsy finds Jeffrey Epstein had several broken neck bones

Quote:

The Washington Post spoke to Jonathan Arden, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, who said a broken hyoid bone — which is near the Adam’s apple — is more common in strangulation murders than suicidal hangings.

I definitely felt it. It was ****in terrible looking for a job in 2009. I was out of work for almost a year. Sustained myself through crime and blind luck.

Plus I lived in South Florida where the only blue collar jobs are in construction. The housing market crashed and the construction jobs vanished. People who used to make 15-20 dollars an hour were forced to work retail and service jobs for 8-9 dollars an hour.

jwb 08-15-2019 08:44 AM

I'm trying. But I'm afraid I won't be able to get those kinds of jobs with my background. My younger brother just got one and they did a background check. That's why I'm trying to work at one place for a while and not get in trouble.

I would assume that there's a somewhat perpetual repair and remodeling market out there given the hurricanes and wealthy retirees, no? Waiting for a hurricane to strike isn't exactly stable though.

Most of the construction jobs were in building. The area was rapidly expanding. All that came to a halt around 07 or so. I'm sure there were still some people working construction but there were way more workers than there were jobs.

My dad did concrete coating for a lot of the retirees and that more or less dried up around that time too. People stop spending as much on luxuries when there's a recession.

what's funny is it's just like a rephrasing of telling liberal arts students to get a different degree

but when it's liberals telling coal miners maybe don't work in coal it sucks anyway...

I digress

Most of the people who work in coal live in dirt poor rural communities where that's the only job in town.

I was pulled out of school and told to get a job back then and I struggled real hard too. I think it was mostly because I had no clue what I was doing at the time. I just read that Utah was almost immune to the effects.
