Sure, maybe women should wait another 100, 200 or more years for equal pay. Let me place a different spin on your analogy, perhaps it is men that make more trips to the restroom....WHY? Because so many men are full of shit.
Cooked rice if you did a good job.
raw if you didn't.
Actually it's already happening. Lots of truck drivers have a lease contract for their truck with their employer, which is so expansive that if they have a bad week, they not only earn nothing, but they have to pay their employer.
Truck drivers getting screwed is one reason for the supply chain issues in the US.
California has regulations so tight on trucks that can transport shipping containers that it knocks alot of people out the job. Most carriers in this area refuse loads to california. only registered users can see external links

The other “country” is the real one. The one where we take the kids to school and go to work. It’s the one where we pay bills and go to the movies. The one we make fun of other countries foibles and te mad at ours. We are vibrant and we are too big to allow the country to slide down that slope you insist on telling us we are sliding down on. The inertia of the country won’t let it. Our problems seem large because we are large but as I said at the start, “We are the same as everyone else “

Life on the ground here is ALOT different than is presented by media.
I don't know the exact temperature of the water and it differs for everyone, but some are already getting burned.
By the way, I'm not just talking about the US. I see lots of symptoms in my own country. Wages have been stagnant for decades, while rent and other costs kept going up. Meanwhile the number of millionaires and billionaires was also rising. The majority of people understands that something needs to be done, but they keep voting for the parties that created the problem and keep making it worse.
It would be easy for me not to care, because I'm doing fine, but I know that's only temporary, because I'm not looking away from the dark clouds forming on the horizon.
Why stop going back to the 60s and 70s?
And where do you get the idea that they started to fix things in the 60s and 70s? Don't you understand what marvelous progress they made in the era before that?
And do you acknowledge how hard people fought to get it?
Men had just came back from the war in the late 40's,had used modern tech to fight and wanted that tech in their daily lives. So instead of dwelling on their ptsd's,which although real,are being over used today, they went to work.Started companys,designed machines and etc.And yes,great progress was made.Then the late 60's early 70's the youngan's wanted to smoke dope and drive volks vans and the shit started going down hill.
Then they reproduced,and then THose reproduced and we have the shit storm we are living thru today.
Nothing was broken until recently.When people started LOOKING for shit to gripe about.
1 BIG reason life was simpler then, PEOPLE LIVED WITHIN THEIR MEANS> wow what a concept.
So you see no reason for that in the diminishing middle class?
Wages have been stagnant since the 1970's. That was not broken recently.
If that's the shit they gripe about, they have reason to.
It's not just the cars and the houses that are different from the 1970's it's also what young people need to do to get their life in order. It's not because they are using drugs. It's because without education their chances of becoming middle class are slim and because the cost of that education is ridiculously high and because their wages after it are ridiculously low.
PEOPLE LIVED WITHIN THEIR MEANS because on one salary they could afford a house, a car and some luxury. Many cannot afford that now on two salaries. That's why they go into huge debts.
That's not just in the US. My father could buy a house on one mechanic's salary at age 30. We bought our house from two salaries, a biotech engineer in shift and a catering job, at age 45. Several of my colleagues are not even able to buy a house, because they don't make enough money to get a mortgage, so they're stuck renting for ridiculous prices.
My current car, a Nissan, has twice the fuel economy and twice the power.
It also has all the modern features I like and wouldn't care to miss anymore.
It's true that my first car was easier to fix, but I also had to do that all the time.
It rusted everywhere, so I was constantly grinding, sanding, plastering and painting.
A modern car is more expensive to maintain, because you can't do much yourself, but you don't have to, which saves time and headaches.
The computers could be a problem, but the can also be handy. Here's a tip. My car did show an error light two times since I bought it. Now I have a cheap OBD2 scanner, so I can see if the same error codes keep returning, from now on.
If not, I just clear the code and continue driving. Saves me a trip to the dealer.
But try finding a late model vehicle with manual windows, About impossible. That is why it took me a couple years to find "that truck" because I wanted as much manual and simple as possible.
I understand on the late model Ford products like the Explorer,there is NO DIPSTICK on the transmission!. You can't even check the fluid levels without crawling under it with special tools or add any fluid without special tools. STUPID and expensive.
Computers,OH my, I read about a 2017 chevy truck that had been struck by lighting. Codes said this was bad and that was bad, the truck was finally totaled and sold for salvage.
The problem, a shorted sensor in the drivers power window motor!. a sensor ,prompted a truck to be total lossed after a lightning strike.Strike a old 60's truck with lightning,hell it would probably run better.At worst it might burn the points stuck.
I hear you, but you are fighting a loosing battle.

We are definitely bike capital if the world. Almost everyone has a car, but there are 1.3 bikes per person. It's because The Netherlands is a tiny congested country. But everywhere there are bike lanes. For traffic through the city center, a bike is quicker and easier. Parking is ridiculously expensive. If we go to the cinema by car, parking costs me around €10,-. If we go by bike, it's just as quick, parking is free and it's free exercise. I just refuse to, when it's raining.
People also use their bicycles to go to work. My company and many others have a policy that employees can't park in the garage, if they live closer than 5 or 6 km and many do. However, I have several colleagues who drive their bike to work from 20-30 km away. They have cars, but they just like biking as a sport.
The first thing they do when they arrive at work is shower and change clothes.
A country that is flat as a pancake, with a mild climate is off course better for riding bikes. However, my colleague drove his bike all the way to France, just to do the Le Mont Ventoux, which is a particularly dreadful hill climbing challenge from the tour de France. We probably agree that is crazy.
“ if you only knew the amount of gay members that have private messaged me complaining about you and your racist comments ”
I like that. Adult, concise, and true.

It seems she is getting more than her 15 minutes
Even roads are being called racist now. Part of that so called infrastructure bill is meant to tear out roads and bridges that were put thru black neighborhoods to "reunite " them. And to remove a "wall" from between whites and blacks.
What a crock of shit. Replacing a perfectly good road or bridge for that reason? The shortest route was usually chosen for a road, so let's cut down on emissions by making a much longer route so the blacks can have empty lots to throw their garbage on. I have worked in a big city and I know what these places look like that are being talked about and the reason for the filth is not the road.

A route needs to be the shortest between two points but the fallacy of thinking that the two points is the reason for the route. The beginning and ending is relative to the road right of way. Generally, the determining factor is COST OF THE LAND that the road will be built on. Since in a city, by force, the route will go on private land, it’s cheaper to have it go over the poor side of town. This does tend to cut neighborhoods in half. In Miami, I-95 did just that to Overtown and Liberty City. It’s true, the road is not the reason for the trash and filth. The reason is the poverty. The reason is the city or county powers not cleaning the streets or providing adequate trash pickups. I’m always surprised how YOU see social problems and all that sinks in is the obvious and never the underlying problem. Several years ago We drove from Kansas City and took a route that traversed Alabama from NW to SE. In all my life I had not seen the amount of trash and filth as we saw passing through that state, and, here comes the racist statement. They were ALL white communities.
Maybe it's been a while since tecsan had his pee pee pleasured orally and he's forgotten just how awesome it can be.

Bella, is that from personal experience? I thought you were a BITCH, but, maybe, I was wrong. Are you a bastard?
Actually, she has had slightly more than 15 minutes of fame, probably more like 18 minutes now. Sophia Urista was on season 11 of The Voice and selected Miley Cyrus as her coach. I only know this because I Google'd her name. The guy that she pissed on had only 2 to 3 minutes of "fame" and sadly after getting pissed on, Sophia demanded that security escort him out. So much for his face and his tee-shirt being all pissed up

Sophia Urista, a former contestant on The Voice (she ended up on Miley Cyrus' team, unsurprisingly) and LEAD SINGER of New York-based covers band BRASS AGAINST went vilely viral over the weekend when footage of her urinating on a fan's face (a willing fan, it should be noted) during the band's Thursday night set at Welcome to Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida, began circulating.
She's got more than 18 min of fame
You must be new here.
When it comes to kink, people are all wired differently. I don't understand the thrill some folks get from pee-play (or toe sucking for that matter--yuck!), but if it gives them a rush and no one is getting hurt then I try not to be too judgy.
Hell, I still have trouble wrapping my head around the big deal people make about titties...

I hear you. Same about dicks.
The US has three major racial groups. Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics. Technically, Hispanic is not a race. In this country we tend to ignore that Hispanics come in Black and White flavors. Enough on this. I’m here to rebutt Phart‘s and many other people’s views that native Afro-Americans have equality in this country. This is a recent article in The Miami Herald
Today, 124 years after Miami’s incorporation, after decades of systematic and often violent exclusion, and decades after the peak of the Civil Rights movement, Miami-Dade’s Black population remains, by most meaningful measures, broadly on the outs — separate and unequal.
Legally enforced Jim Crow segregation ended in the 1960s, and with it legal and de facto limits on where Black people could live and own property or what kinds of jobs they could do. But an examination of current and historic data from the U.S. Census Bureau, independent reports and scholarly research shows its impact in Miami-Dade County stubbornly lives on.
Stark disparities endure — and in some cases are now widening — between Blacks and Miami-Dade’s white and Hispanic majority in measures of income, poverty, schooling, home-ownership and employment.
I remember, in mid 1960’s, in Florida, Blacks could only ride in the rear of the bus. Water fountains had two side by side. One for blacks and one for whites or other races. The Miami-Dade County School Board sets the budget for individual schools. The top schools get new class books and equipment every year. The inner city schools (Black) have books that are 8,10 or more years old. Some pupils have to share books. SOME EQUALITY. When President Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation. He freed the slaves of this country. He DID NOT give Blacks voting rights, easy access to government, equality in education or warranty of work. He didn’t even desegregate the military. All he did was freed them. From then until recently Blacks have been second rate citizens. And even now, their daily lives are spiked with inequalities that whites are not saddled with. So when I hear, “I wish they would stop whining and pull up their girly panties “, I understand why they are bitter. Someone that makes a statement like that is one of two things. Either a racist or a poorly educated person that for some reason decides to ignore the obvious.
Fuck you, Bitch.
