I began to become interested in politics since 1993 via a college roommate.
I’m amazed at the ignorance, brought on by propaganda, in this particular forum. It doesn’t ever cease to amaze me. I post to let others know there is another way and to see what others are thinking. I have to thank another former roommate who helped me start on my journey from being a brain dead conservative Republican by giving me the book Manufacturing Consent. It may have taken me a few years just to open the book but it began to open my eyes to the way the world actually works and for whom. I was totally embarrassed at my positions I held politically but glad to finally see the light.
What kind of success have you had working out, I suppose with weights?
Just from my observation over 5+ decades, no long distance runner has the genetics to gain much muscle mass or strength. Just saying.
That said, it is most likely why you find the Politics and World Issues better suited to your expertise, if that’s what you call it.
I made about 75k at my last bartending job. More than the average wage earner. I lived in a 2/2 by myself, most of the time, my car was paid off and I only had to take care of myself at the time. No wife or children.
Hmm…you last worked about 20 years ago…so that would be like $125,000/year now. Unless you mean “75k at my last bartending job over the few years I was there,” I suspect you are wrong. Because a bartender worth that would have no trouble finding a new job…and you have gone 20 years without a job.
I had remembered that you said you ran cross country and long distance events in track and field while in high school. If that is incorrect, I concede to my error.
