    They are there on Stephen Miller watch. They have to pull him away before he sucks anyone's blood or carries off any ladies to his lair. 

    That dude is as incel as they come.

    Mother is dentist. First in family to go to college. Dad did drafting and put her thru school. He did not attend college.  He learned enough to not be completely replaced by ACAD, did civil consult type work once hand drafting went Dodo. Mom never owned own practice, so it was “good” job but we had less $$ than a lot of the dual earning families in the Petrochem plants that surrounded my town.  It was enough money to live in the shitty house she where she was born, in Clute, TX (not a rich, or even middle class town, we celebrated a mesquito ffs)  To be fair it was also enough for them to save properly (like a lot of their generation did not) so even with Dad getting sick, they will be able to take care of themselves. Mom is 64 and still works.   That should be enough to form your next opinion of my “simpleton” views. 

    See? You were born with advantages that most poor people simply do not have. You were born smack dab in the middle class.

    Born to Run, 

    I do think public schools are “enough” - to not be poor.  I would guess the vast majority of posters on this site were public school kids, and next to none are “poor”.  I think your kid succeeds because you put in effort into him/her   Same as I do with mine  Same as most people who care enough to guide their kids in the right direction   

    Simpleton, average, whatever the fuck. That furthers my point. I went to shitty public schools, and less than impressive college, and have been able to carve out a decent life.  I’ll never live in River Oaks but fully funded retirement, 529s for 3 kids, decent vehicles, nice house, boats, etc   - middle class.   Buncha real smart motherfuckers in here though, y’all get all the answers but still can’t seem to fix the problem. 

    And you’re goddamn right I didn’t want those fucking apartments around. I work my ass off to live as far away from that shit as I can. 

    Fondren, you seem intelligent. I don’t know why you diminish it with completely outlandish bullshit responses.  

    Just out of curiosity, what did your parents do for a living?

    The problem with this stupid fucking argument going on in this page is that it is neither "easy" to not be poor nor is it "impossible" to get out of poverty.

    Just because some people can carve out a good living doesn't mean we should stop seeking ways to give everyone in this country a better opportunity. This is the Land of Opportunity after all. And no, cynics, an opportunity is not a handout.

    I did particularly enjoy the suggestion that poor folks just need to go move near a good school to get their kids a good education. Are you suggesting we subsidize affordable housing construction in your upper middle class neighborhood?

    NOT IN MY BACKYARD!!!

    I cited it because it was overturned.  Showing the Supreme Court can change its mind.  

    And even if it does, we will still have safe and legal abortion in the United States of America. Women in the backward states will just have to suffer.

    I lived in two shithole towns in northwestern England for three years combined. Hicks could not be more wrong. Working class English " 'ooligans" are fucking savages who could tear up Port Arthur or Odessa on a Saturday night if nobody had guns. 

    But he's a stand up comic and what he was saying was funny.

    And this is Murica, so errbody would have guns.

    We win again. Suck it, England.

    Bullshit. This team has an issue taking care of business at home so far this year. That’s a problem and it needs to be corrected ASAP.

     

    Also, Altuve needs to get his mind right. Because it’s obviously not. He looks lost.

    Altuve is fine. He had a bad game. He's a top five hitter in the AL.

    They've played 11 games at Minute Maid this year. They have 70 to go. They will win plenty of home games before the end of September.

    Cozart made an awesome play. Charlie gave up two runs in an inning where no ball left the infield. Smith folded in a high-leverage situation. A guy who will hit 15 HRs all year hit two tonight. It was perhaps the worst umpired game in recent memory. And we only lost by one. It sucks. But it happens.

    This is no place for thoughtful reflection.

    We respectfully ask that you freak out.

    Thank you.
