I think in the early days it was because most here were left-leaning or libertarians, but now that the general public is starting to move in, it's more neutral/slightly negative.
OMG, same here. I got tired of buying a new inkjet every 2 years or so. I bought a Brother laser all-in-one 4 yrs ago and haven't looked back. My only regret was not spending the extra bucks to get a color model.
I don't get it, but I'm upvoting.

I guess I'm just a cynic, but I assumed this was in reference to a politician who recently received a golf simulator from a campaign donor. He didn't disclose it in accordance with state law concerning gifts over $100, but I'm sure he meant to but forgot.
Or it would just be a random post.
I think these numbers are inflated, but the problem is still pretty bad.
Part of the problem is we have some politicians here that thrive on uneducated voters. Uneducated voters also tend to be more racist, and racists are a really reliable voting block if you speak their language. Also, they tend to believe "news" that corresponds with what they already believe, so social media and telemarketing works really well on them. Abortion and contraception bans increase the number of children born into poverty, who won't get a decent education and will rely on what they learn from their parents or TV.
So education funding rarely gets increased.

I've always heard puns were. I don't believe it though. I mean a good pun is its own reword.
