Florida is the hotbed of felons not being able to vote.

Us non-felons voted to return suffrage to felons last election

They really give a **** / they’re all lining up to vote right now

cancel your wifi and give the money to a homeless guy voluntarily

Right. Because slaving in a kitchen and living in a run down slum = $1,000,000 in property alone.

And tell Sanders I want my $600 back for his Obamacare ripoff.

When I quit teaching I rode out the rest of the year without insurance and then they ****ing charged me for NOT having insurance and I guess in some ****ing insane universe neo-liberal logic this is considered fair

For a person to be unemployed, bankrupt, and then charged for something he never received

Trump has never done anything that really hit me. Obama kicked me straight in the nuts when I was down. And Bernie signed off on the attempted castration

So really ... **** the Democratic Party

Eh, I dunno: should poor urban areas just stay poor so that people have to leave the area to find viable work? Getting wealthy people to spend their money in places they wouldn't normally invest in is a good thing.

Nope. That's a poor excuse for accelerating gentrification though.

I agree with you but the only measure against gentrification that I can think of is rent control. Well you can also vandalize rich people’s property but anyway

How do we fight against gentrification?

I also feel like I’ve caused gentrification especially in Portland

I lived in Portland early to mid 90’s and that white youthful hipster presence played a big role in making those neighborhoods prohibitively expensive for many people just a few years later

I wonder if anyone has ever studied Nirvana’s role in the gentrification of the entire Pacific Northwest
