Welcome to America

Didn’t the government teat pay your employees?

After they made them stay home. Seems fair

How is it fair to all those who didn’t get paid to stay home?
Use your student loan logic.

Let the online boys keep the alpha/beta male claims they crave and need, which originated from hierarchy of animals in the wild. It is somewhat psychologically interesting. Especially when these same "alpha" mentalities embrace their cult leaders as their alpha heros (not knowing they are then betas). I equate these same so-called alpha males as keyboard warrior conspiracist mansplainers living in mom's basement. Their idols are trump and Tucker, the most bizarre versions of alpha males ever.

Claiming alpha status is not unlike saying "I have a very big brain... I'm a stable genius, I have big hands...

Person, woman, man, camera, TV."

Interesting piece...

".. Supposed human alpha male behaviour also often doesn’t match alpha male behaviour in other species. Many non-human alpha males also have a corresponding alpha female who exerts similar levels of dominance and control, whereas human alpha males invariably have a “less respectful” attitude towards women, shall we say. Also, the fact that many communities of men (particularly online) are seemingly convinced that they can all be alpha males is a contradiction in terms; there should only be one alpha male per community, that’s sort of the whole point. The rest should try and depose him as and when the opportunity presents itself, but until then they are, at best, “beta males”, a term often used as an insult by members of said community with no sense of irony.

It’s as if the idea of being an alpha male is very reassuring to those who lack confidence and are scared by the wider world and people in it, so want to turn the tables.

This may be key. Supposed alpha males may always get their way not because of to some evolved tendency in humans to respect and obey men who display a specific set of characteristics, as if people were video games that respond to certain cheat codes, but simply because they’re scary. If a large, shouty man starts bellowing in your face, that’s very unsettling, so people may do what he says to stop him from becoming violent, or just to make him go away. Said man would obviously perceive this as evidence for his own superiority... "

I always found that the majority of men who use terms like alpha, beta, cuck, soy boy, tend to have larger than average size man boobs.

I thought we called those Pecks

I am really not sure if all human males fit neatly into categories of hierarchy because we have such a complex Central Nervous System with unique abilities. But I do believe that ego can make males mentally weak because they or I should say we become predictable and the food chain will eat us up Thank goodness that those of us who are aware of this weakness will learn how to recognize it and at least give some effort to manage it. Unfortunately many will continue to justify the behavior and some will even find success despite the flaws. I believe that there is a spiritual reckoning that all of us will face eventually.

Think there was a discussion about Paycheck Protection Program the other day.

Feds: Panama City Beach businessman used $1.5 million to fund ‘lavish lifestyle’

I started another thread about it. Ironically if he had just been a good broker/realtor this past two years he'd have cleared well over that.

If you owned an insurance company would you insure properties in Florida?

Sounds like you are finally admitting the reality of the republican party. They hire illegals and then complain that it's the governments fault. Listen if you are honestly skilled then you would train college graduates and high school dropouts to work for you. Train them and then pay them a living wage. Oh but then you would have to pay employee and employer taxes. You are not honest. Your words about American History have no conscience. You think you are smarter than you are and that makes you a very dangerous person. Not listening to your conscience makes you a threat to anyone outside your circle of alternative realities. What you are doing with your words is worse than spinning. You are hurting people. How many people do you believe you infected with Covid, how many people have you tried to make feel like a loser and how many people do you just completely dismiss all together. The honest truth is that if you do not find a conscience soon you will lose any hope of finding human purpose. You said that you just turned 50 and began to self judge yourself. Trust me you have made mistakes just like all humans do. It is time for you to grow up and learn from those mistakes. Trust me again when I say that the longer you wait to either find a conscience or trust the one you have the harder it will be to learn and grow from your mistakes. By the way calling people names is childish...

Someone will insure properties in Florida or there will be a glut of properties on the market. There will be a cost and some people will not be able to pay it.

Of coarse someone will do it but the rates they charge will be in line with the risk they feel is making the juice worth the squeeze for them and their investors

The more storms we have the tougher and more expensive its gonna get
