That’s because conservatives are very individualistic for whatever reason. Instead of seeing systemic issues they see bad apples.

Because conservatism inherently relies on fear of change, simple thinking, and avoiding the discomfort of questioning the status quo at all costs. You want to believe that everything is hunky-dory the way it is, and avoid thinking too hard about all the ways it might not be.

It’s uncomfortable to think that the system you’re participating in and benefitting from might be the cause of it. No one ever wants to think they’re the bad guy. It’s the reason they hate stuff like CRT so much, because it’s an incredibly uncomfortable thought to imagine that everything they’ve known and tried to maintain is actually a complete nightmare and they’ve been part of it in some way.

The world is much scarier when you see the pain and suffering so many experience, and it’s through no fault of their own. No matter what they do or didn’t do, some people just get dealt a shit hand, either by chance, or because of systemic issues. It’s much easier to say “The system I believe in is totally fine and just, it’s their fault they haven’t been able to reach the same place I have”.

It’s almost always whatever you you threw out last week though.

Did they actually go through with it? I remember them attempting it, but then immediately backing down and issuing a very reasonable response letter basically saying they were clearly in the wrong and allowed the union to form. I could totally be unaware of any more recent developments though.

But see, according to my awful family in Oklahoma, they voted for Trump specifically to keep their daughters safe from all the pedophile trans people who are raiding the bathrooms of their grade school like orcs sieging Helm’s Deep. Sure, their daughters now have no reproductive rights and they’ve never seen or met a single trans person, but this was definitely the best decision to keep them safe and healthy.

Then sadly, knowing how a lot of my friends shopped when they were broke, I bet that it is something like a convenience store. Not saying that DC isn’t expensive, I was literally just there visiting a friend who lives there, but I also live in an area with a CoL well above the national average and coffee still isn’t $20 for cheap pre-ground stuff

Maybe at a more expensive convenience store, or he’s like many idiots that shop somewhere like Whole Foods and because they’re used to seeing some $70/bag organic free-range non-GMO gluten-free coffee grown in the Himalayas by a small sect of previously uncontacted monks, the “cheap stuff” is the $20 bag of stuff that’s similarly overpriced.

The most I’ve ever paid for coffee in the US was $20/lb at a local artisan roaster, where they’re blended and roasted right in the store. Usually my normal coffee is about $3-5/lb

Ah, I guess I meant that you’re getting 2 of the 3 phases, which is 208V phase-to-phase, or 120V phase to neutral.

Residential service is a single split 240v phase off of a 480V 3-phase line, while something like an apartment is 2 phase 208Y, with a single phase is 120V.

Sadly none of those are available in the US except the EX30, and the starting MSRP is literally double that of something like the Mazda3 the OP mentioned.

Like herding catgirls.

By far one of my favorite bumper stickers

Getting rid of Title IX protections is going to make surviving pretty fucking hard if you wind up with a bigoted manager who decides to fire you… Or just companies decide they don’t want to hire trans people at all.
