They’ll 86 the impassioned speech about abortion this time around.

I was wondering about the one in this pic

We dont have a Lahey emote but this is kind of close

Is this trailer actually in Bible Hill?

That’s my approach to most media these days. You have to let it breathe for a while to see if it has staying power or if someone is just selling the zeitgeist back to you. I won’t start a new show unless it’s wrapped. I can’t stand getting invested and then the thing gets cancelled

I’m sure it’s true that it costs more to live in a trailer than it does to own a home, but I don’t see any rich people choosing it.

Granted this was like 7 years ago now but when we were living in a trailer, it was around $1100/month plus utilities. My mortgage is like $1200/month and that includes taxes and insurance. Also, we have 15 acres. My utility bills are about the same as when I lived in a trailer. It costs the same for me to hear or cool my 1100sq foot house as it did for my single wide trailer.

Where I live, most trailer parks are closer to the city centers and people that work lower paying jobs live in them. I had to move over a half hour away from the city I grew up in to be able to afford a house.

My friends that still rent are paying between $1500 and $1800 a month for a trailer these days.

It sucks out there. I feel really lucky that we bought when we did, and I feel really bad for people like my sisters and coworkers who are paying those high rents. Rent seems to go up about $100 a year around here and you don’t get anything else for it. They don’t update the living space or provide community third spaces in the parks. Just the same thing you already had but now it’s more expensive. People I know are lucky to get a dollar raise a year as well.

Not sure what’s going to happen when they price everyone out of being able to rent anything.

Before we bought our house, we bought a used camper and lived in that to save money. I’ll never understand people that pay $100,000 for a “tiny house” when you can get a camper for a couple thousand dollars. Aesthetic I guess? For what it’s worth, I hated living in the camper

Fuckin Lahey would shut that down

In my experience, trailer parks have more strict rules than your average HOA. There is no way they would let you express this level of individuality. You must be poor and stifled

Wait. You’re not supposed to listen to songs six months after they come out. It’s a turn and burn business where the thing you listen to is the product, but it influenced your personality, making you the product. The point of music is to sort you into a category so you can be sold to easier

Can’t wait for Juneteenth 😬

I feel like they would have thought of that at the propaganda bot factory in Hitler County, Russia or wherever libs think that stuff comes from.

After that, it just turns into a thinly veiled ad hominem (gasp!) against someone they disagree with but can’t mount a defense of their position

Why not just put out a list of who isn’t a terrorist? It would take less time.

Even my 13 year old brain clocked the slippery slope with the word “terrorist” way back in the aftermath of 9/11

It’s just Havana syndrome for the modern age

Get it? Because sex? Sex = funny! 🤣🤣🤣

They have to show rich people because it’s what most people aspire to be.

If they show working class people, then they end up telling on themselves. Homer Simpson was able to pay for a house, three kids and two cars all while being the sole income. All the working class sitcoms of the 90’s seem unrealistic because the characters all work dead end jobs but can still afford those nice TV houses.

It looks unrealistic anymore because we’re out here having to grind so hard just to keep a roof over our heads. Nevermind paying for kids! People won’t watch something that doesn’t reflect their life in some way. At least with the rich people on tv, you can project yourself into that life and not be reminded that you are more broke than the characters of Roseanne and you’re working harder.

Obviously this isn’t a defense, it’s just one read on why they don’t show “normal” people.

Is this it? Are they so out of ideas that they have to do commercials for another product but to make it more palatable, they Sharknado it up?

well they must be punished for voting for Velveeta Voldemort! ExBoomeramous!

I don’t think we model ourselves after chapo anymore basically for the reasons you stated. But yeah it has gone really downhill and it makes me glad there are certain federated instances I can see. They hold down the fort when hexbear is getting particularly out of pocket.
