        When you have a country where child poverty in some states is miserable, where workers protections in some states are miserable, where education is often miserable, and where this produces people who vote for misery, I guess you just get used to being surrounded by misery.

          True and sad really, that’s why my comment. I personally know people who left their country with the whole family and company and people with just a plastic bag with their clothes. People shouldn’t be used to misery.

            People shouldn’t be used to misery.

            Getting used to misery might be the only option when profits is to be gained from forcing people to work as hard as possible.

            I’m a teacher. “Get used to misery” is what we teach young people.

        It does happen. I took my family out of there. I was fortunate to have a job that supported me working fully remote and dual citizenship. It’s still been less than breezy.

            It sounds very “just so”, but we went car free and lost about forty pounds without changing a thing, year one. Worth it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
