    And I'd argue lack of public transportation and walkable cities is much of the reason the US standard of living is as low as it is.

    The rest is mostly due to our horrible social safety net, IMO.

    Wow.

    I'm lying about the standard of living?

    I'm going to try to be nice about this and tell you you're not that knowledgeable about it and maybe you shouldn't say someone's on your side because they have better information than you.

    I don't care what your friends tell you.

    Now, I'm done standing up for you. I don't care what you think. When you call someone a liar like that, to me, that makes you no better than Beast and Johnny.

    Have a great day and please never address me again.

    I've probably typed this out only once or twice on this board, so it's been many years since the last time, so here goes again.

    Those of us who were the smartest kid in 4th grade remember the definitions of the word "average." Examples:

    Mean average income: A country's total income divided by population.

    Median average income: The number at which half of total income is above, and half is below.

    I hope I don't have to draw graphs for you to intuitively understand that:

    If 95% of a country's wealth is owned by 1% of the population, the mean average is high, but not the median average.

    U.S. mean, but not median, average income is high compared to more egalitarian European countries.

    We are the "richest country on Earth" only if you let our class system imbalance skew the average.

    Aw shit. I should have said the number of people, or something.

    Oh well. You guys reword it. I had a tough day going to Costco. It's rough in there.

    Is there some reason for that? People buying turkeys early? Or Doritos before Kennedy bans them?

    Ridgefield opened a Costco a couple months back. I went there a couple weeks back on Thursday at 10am.

    I was there with like 5 other people. It was glorious

    Based on what I read in this thread, she's at Costco.

    That’s out of character because she’s stated she’s anti-Costco

    Look, if you guys really want to know why Kamala lost, and Hillary before her, this is why.

    Food for thought. I think it goes to what I say about Democrats struggle with messaging. There's definitely a blind spot.

    I'm sure this is just a coincidence.

    Yeah, that's good. Nobody who had anything to do with the Biden presidency was going to be a good candidate.

    Many of those states are vote-by-mail.

    Oregon is a vote-by-mail and a motor voter state.

    After the Real ID regulations went into effect, we've all had to go to the DMV because they increased the documentation requirements for getting or renewing our licenses.

    To get a REAL ID in Oregon, you must provide the following:
    • Proof of identity
      A U.S. passport, passport card, birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, consular report of birth abroad, permanent resident card, or employment authorization card. You can also use a foreign passport with a valid I-94 and unexpired visa.


    • Proof of Social Security number
      Your Social Security number or proof that you are not eligible for one. You can provide the number verbally.


    • Proof of address
      Two documents from different sources that show your name and current Oregon address. You can use a mortgage, rental agreement, monthly rental receipt, or letter from a hotel, motel, campground, or recreational vehicle park.


    • Payment
      A $30 fee.

    Seems like the state of Oregon has enough information about me to mail me a ballot.

    Not a surprise that states which disenfranchised and suppressed voters went red.

    And he promised to make it neutral. It's basically just another truth social now.

    Last election finally decided. In Central California Democrat Adam Gray flipped seat from Republican incumbent by 187 votes. Sometimes every vote does count.

    Republicans now have one seat majority with three resignations.
