@ShrimpTeslaLong @WallStreetApes We own a 1200 square foot home and have a baby to support and luckily have some family support to supplement day care. We know we’re luckier than most but end of every single month is nothing but stress. It’s worse now. You’re a dildo

@ShrimpTeslaLong @WallStreetApes Me 36yo: former vet teacher with masters. Had to leave profession I love (and that provides actual value, not just investing in Tesla) to take entry level office job that somehow pays more than teaching. STILL work second job year round. Drive 2008 CRV (nicest car I’ve ever owned

This post got 136k+ Likes in under 24 hours. Younger Americans say they have no future “They tell us to stop eating out and rents $2,000 a month. Oh, save for retirement, and yet you can barely save for next week. Go buy a house, every house is half a million dollars” “I'm not asking for a handout, man. We're asking for a freaking fair shot at life. Our parents did not work harder than we work right now. They were simply just given a better chance. Their wages covered their lives, their bills, their hobbies, their passions. Our wages barely cover our freaking bills for the month, dude. No amount of budgeting can ever fix a system designed to keep us down. We're doing the best that we can. And yet it feels like the outcome has already been decided.”

@ShrimpTeslaLong @WallStreetApes Wife 35yo: veteran teacher with masters (necessary to get “highest paying” teaching job). Babysits and tutors year round on the side on top of nightly planning hours. Drives base model 2020 Corolla (nicest car either of us have ever driven, doesn’t even have an automatic key fob)

@colin_dunlap Almost as if an entire generation was told education was their way out or key to job security, forcing them into desperately taking out loans, that are far more restrictive than any other loans, at 18 years of age……

I’m not really seeing two sides to this. Pay your debts. Don’t borrow if you can’t pay it back — taking money in a loan isn’t charity. msnbc.com/top-stories/la…

@colin_dunlap Almost as if Western PA has one of the most storied histories of labor struggles in the country wherein people literally died fighting against private businesses for basic workplace protections……….

City government trying to mandate to private, small business how many sick days they need to give employees certainly feels pretty close to socialism.

@colin_dunlap Almost as if a parent of a transgender child might want to protect their child from the myriad psychological detriments of being outcasted by society, and the obsession with sports being under attack is a vehicle to further alienate these young people right to their faces…..

Yes, it is so crazy that I want to protect my daughter - and do it proactively and not in reactionary form. So crazy.

@colin_dunlap Almost as if there are some people with the capacity to identify grotesque injustice in the world even if they are not the ones experiencing said injustice first hand……

Please show me ONE person marching — and blocking traffic — at the University of Pittsburgh yesterday who supports Palestine who was oppressed in the same way as the Woolworth’s lunch counter in Mississippi in ‘63. Show me ONE. I’m into comparing apples to apples. You aren’t.

@colin_dunlap Almost as if PPS and virtually all urban school districts rely on federal funding from the Dept of Education for crucial in things like Title I and IDEA…….

You should worry about the Pittsburgh Public Schools. How are their test scores and proficiency levels?

@colin_dunlap Almost as if the right to assembly, protest, and free speech have been sacrosanct American republican ideals for nearly 300 years….

Drop some soap and deodorant on this protest and it will disperse in about 2 minutes.

@colin_dunlap Almost as if the right to treatment for a concussion wasn’t taken away after being Constitutionally protected for 50 years….

Because Gainey is clearly politicizing a health care issue to play to the way far left during election time. UPMC has a world-class concussion program, but you won’t see Gainey say “come to Pgh for your concussion treatment!!” Know why? Concussions aren’t politicized.

@colin_dunlap Almost as if Prine was sympathetic to the same people who are regularly called losers and crybabies on KDKA radio…..

Just heard John Prine’s ‘Sam Stone’- hadn’t heard it in awhile. He wrote it in 1971 about a soldier returning from Vietnam. I was thinking-if there were ever timeless lyrics, these are it. PTSD, trauma, addiction,etc..this could be written today & just as applicable. So powerful.

@colin_dunlap @PghKids Almost as if a major point of books and literature (for any age) has always been to use real human experiences as a way to better understand humanity and society…..

Friend took his kids to Children’s Museum this weekend. He sent me this photo and was wondering why this book was in the general play area by the gravity room. I will ask you — What are your thoughts about a book with a transgender theme in the @PghKids general reading area?

@Lilywhite_Rose Really good. Nothing magnificent but miles ahead of Radu.

#thfc Three games in interested to hear views on Kevin Danso…

@colin_dunlap @905wesa Almost as if the hit piece is entitled “Gainey, O'Connor trade shots in Young Democrats forum on Pittsburgh mayoral race” and not even about you…..

A hit piece from @905wesa — on me! Haha. If being “transphobic” is standing firm that I don’t want born-male, transgendered females participating in sports against my daughter, then I’m guilt. It is flatly an advantage. And I will never waver on that. wesa.fm/politics-gover…

@colin_dunlap Almost as if ‘they’ is a pronoun that people commonly use without batting an eye, and that not a single person in my entire life has asked to be referred to anything other than one of the established English pronouns (which ‘giraffe’ is not)…..

Selfish and immature is demanding someone call you “they” and then being mad if you don’t. “They” is no more real than wanting to be referred to as a giraffe. And I simply don’t need to subscribe to it. The people making a big deal are the ones who demand being a work of fiction.

@colin_dunlap Almost as if the US does not have shortages in these areas (10% of residential property vacant - 5.5 million units; 35% of American food supply thrown away - $473B)………

The same people who gripe about affordable housing crisis, medical care access/costs, fair wages, how many people don’t have meals etc are same ones who now want to allow MORE people to stay in this country undocumented and potentially keep coming in. Doesn’t make sense to me.

@colin_dunlap Almost as if priests in the Catholic Church take a vow of poverty in order live in the example of Christ…… wild stuff

When Pope Francis says something it seems he can’t stand America and absolutely despises people with money. If this Pope stuff doesn’t work out he could be the Allegheny County Executive.

@colin_dunlap Almost as if the legislative body she was elected to is responsible for approving foreign aid…….

You should worry more about Port Vue and Plum and less about Palestine. You are a disgrace.

@BEaDOOD @colin_dunlap La Prima’s baristas are union. Whoops

Tell these jokers to hit the road. Like there needs to be a union to make some triple-dipple-lupa-iced-skim latte with one pump. Hit the road. Starbucks already offers pay/benefits worth $30/hr to those who work 20 hours a week - for making coffee. cbsnews.com/news/planned-s…
