He says in a thread about how bongs are poor. Redditors deserve Chinese water torture.

But you don't get it, there are rich people in America on the news. Ignore the fact that England has a legal ruling class that has been wealthy for centuries and legally gets an entire chamber of their legislature dedicated to it. America has billionaires tweeting hot takes. It's unacceptable.

Well pushes up glasses it's BECAUSE we know who chooses what in our ruling class that makes it okay. You Americans have thousands of. Wealthy people and organizations fighting for different legislation and that's why we let it happen, because we can see it happen

Are they? Cursory look at their GDP and PCI stats shows they're richer than France(and it probably means they're ahead of the most of Europe barring ultra rich ones like the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, etc...).

I guess depending on your definition of Western Europe that could be most of it though. By population France+Italy+Spain+Portugal will have more population than those but by clickbait journo rules that's only 4 counties so most are richer

The Atlantic is not a respected news source... ironic considering modern journ*lism but still.

The 19th amendment was a mistake. Women are biologically wired to seek a provider, and in this case, it's the government. Since the 19th amendment was passed in 1919, the government has done nothing but expand and become more intrusive. Social security (a legit ponzi), the welfare state, increased taxation, the list goes on.
Look at the 2016 electoral map if only women voted. 49 states went blue. If only men voted? 49 states went red
Women shouldn't hold office either, or be in combat units in the military. They're emotional and bleed once a month, can't make rational decisions and inherently don't know how to lead, because women who separate themselves from other women in terms of ideas establish themselves as an "outsider" and it lessens their chances of finding a mate. We're animals, and our biology precedes everything.
According to my girlfriend, this opinion is pretty darn unpopular.

Gotta love all the declining europoor nations taking every chance they can to dunk on each other for being marginally ahead in their collective race towards poverty.
