Confused: skint or not skint
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
It's quite simple: The white people (staying in on new years eve) are poor, and the non-white immigrants (going to the sales) are rich. -
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
Gorz in his essay "Farewell to the working class" 1970’s suggested that society would change and divide into the “knowledge elite” and the “under-class”, the “working class” with skills and secure job would disappear. Working class jobs have been de-skilled to the point that anyone can do them, so wages have decreased and the under-class do not have secure jobs.Fiscal nomad it's legal.Comment

I did notice a disproportionate number of women in headscarves clambering for luxury goods, no hangovers I guess?Originally posted by KentPhilip View PostIt's quite simple: The white people (staying in on new years eve) are poor, and the non-white immigrants (going to the sales) are rich.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
