In America the middle class seem to be considered the hard done by. And while acknowledging the problems everyone can and do encounter, I think this trait of American culture was evident in her writing. Complaint after complaint but also evidence of privilege. They were down to one income for what seems a short while of $40,000. I think many dual income families would welcome that. But such working poor are from the section of American society that has no voice. Their son needing a tutor being another, that they could afford a tutor didn't cross their mind. Just full of blaming poorer people than them for their terrible fate of being middle class and not super rich.
She seemed to think Trump would sort it out for them. Praised Trump for allowing her to arm herself.
She said she was "tired of being ****ed in the ass", she would " rather be grabbed by the pussy"

The middle class is a myth that has been made up by the 1% in order to set the white collar working class against the blue collar working class so they can extract underpaid labor from both, and I will die on that hill.

Hierarchies are always created only to benefit those at the top, and give those lower down the hope that if they do what they're told by those above them, and step on those below them, they might be able to get a piece of the pie. They function on greed and fear.

The only things that ever trickle down are piss and shit.

Only in America. The pizza delivery guy died when the customer’s porch collapsed. It doesn’t say what happened to the pizza.

Those are always the best kinds of murders.... There are people who specialise in those.

If that is a picture in the video of the porch after it collapsed, that just don't look right.

I worked as a demolition labourer many years ago. That definitely looks like it could have had assistance....

We used to selectively weaken certain areas we needed to take down so we only needed to hit a particular point or two to take the rest down cleanly.

This is something similar in Australia Induced Collapse Demolition

You're late My inability to do basic arithmetic and also read was pointed out several posts ago.

And how often is this crap repeated by Fox News viewers and Trump supporters? Not that there's evidence this guy was either of those.

After the school contacted Ethan Crumbleys mom, after he was seen looking up buying amunition, his mom messaged him, "lol I’m not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught,”
She and dad are both being charged now.

His father apparently bought him the gun - a 9mm semi automatic. Just what every 15-year-old needs....

Especially this one.

""a teacher saw drawings on Crumbley’s desk which led to the parents being called into school. The drawings included a picture of a semi-automatic handgun pointed at the words “the thoughts won’t stop, help me” and “blood everywhere,” along with a picture of someone shot and bleeding. The drawing also contained the words “my life is useless” and “the world is dead.” "

I watched the press conference. Hearing all the details I can’t see how they could not charge them. Sounds like failings at the school as well, surprised a school resource officer was not at the meeting / searching him, his bag and locker based on what the prosecutor said lead up to the parents being called in.
