Still don't know how that makes 21-23 "current." Just going to double-down on refusing to read the comment chain and make it about what you want, are you?

Holding one of three branches is not "in power."

All spending bills have to originate in the republican controlled house. Anything the administration tries to do on it's own has to survive a heavily politicized Supreme Court. A Supreme Court that would be radically different without the Trump presidency. We'll be dealing with those Trump appointees for a generation and they'll do far more harm than he ever did. Not enough people voting blue in 2016 is going to have very long lasting consequences.

If we can verb nouns, we can noun adjectives!

You guys are talking about different things.

Credit utilization of 0% doesn't mean paying your cards off on time every month so you avoid interest. It means paying your cards off before the statement period even closes so nothing is reported to the credit agencies.

I do this. All my cards have a statement period ending on the 19th or 20th. Around the 17th every month I pre-pay so my statement is $0 on every card.

When I use a card after doing this and the charge goes through before the statement closes, my FICO score goes up (vantage doesn't seem to do this).

For the last 18 months or so my FICO has been going up 22 points every time there is at least a little balance to report and down 22 points every time my credit utilization is 0.0%.

But if we fixed it where would we get all our ~~slaves~~ undocumented workers?

It's just a generic outdoor chair as common as a red Solo cup. The kind of chair many people have found themselves sitting in late into the evening shooting the shit, drinking, etc.

I think the average bullet wound might result in slightly higher medical bills than the average car accident.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I've never heard of an employer that requires their 401k match to be invested in the company. Everywhere I or my wife has worked you could put it in any fund available with that 401k plan.

Hopefully the knowledge can affect their bottom line. Consumer sentiment affects spending habits. If people know they're being gouged instead of just feeling like it, maybe they'll curb their non-essential spending enough to put downward pressure on prices.

Maybe not, but it can't hurt.

The Clone Wars might have started out for a younger audience (I would say more all ages, it wasn't too kiddy) but it started to have episodes that were pretty heavy after a while. Also, the transformation from "snips" to who Ahsoka is now is one of the best examples of character growth I can think of. Back when it came out if you had told me that annoying little shit would become one of my favorite characters in the entire eu, I never would have believed it.

And on a general note, the eu has always had better stories than the movies anyway.

Shut the fuck up! Now Vader, he's a spiritual brother, with the force and all that shit. Then this cracker Skywalker gets his hands on a lightsaber, and the boy decides he's goinna run the fucking universe - gets a whole Klan of whites together, and they're gonna bust up Vader's 'hood - the Death Star. Now what the fuck do you call that?

No they're not the same. The multinational conglomerate is far better.

Chores for the neighbors and the paper route paid peanuts. Once I was old enough to work for the conglomerate (where I received food safety training) my pay after taxes more than doubled (a little more than minimum wage, which did, and does, exist), I started contributing to my future social security check, I received paid breaks, and there was a maximum amount of hours I was legally allowed to work.

Flipping burgers beats the hell out of lugging Sunday papers around the neighborhood or knocking on doors to mow lawns in the summer heat or shovel driveways in the freezing cold. Back then I counted the days until I was old enough for a "real" job.
