Glad I wasn’t the only one

In addition to staffing that other people mentioned, your town isn’t paying for the jail up front. They are issue a decades-long bond and paying off construction over 30+ years.

Edit: then after the bond is paid off, they sneakily move the tax to a general fund for other services

Why are mods enforcing rules set by admins?

Big mystery!

Do you have a link to the study?

You dropped a word: racist

There’s no easy path to money. The higher the pay/skillset expected, the more demands in the interview process. It’s probably easiest to get an entry level job without a ton of math expectations

You can say “I hate the front runner in the democratic primary” without saying “I’m voting republican”

Nope. Also seen an increase in texts

I thought he skipped like almost all of them last time too? This is just par for the course

If only society had been using the term for decades before it got its contemporary interpretation…

Not sure if you skipped my comment or you’re willfully ignorant

Ouch. Yeah, it’s always the worst users that complain the loudest about moderation

Only got 2 undergrad degrees and 2 masters

I hadn’t even thought that maybe you went to college? Must’ve been a stuffy place where you didn’t learn anything

Holy shit, I’m starting to think you’re serious lol

I can’t tell if you’re serious or farming downvotes. Leaning towards downvote farming since you’re so far off from reality. Over 1/4th of college students are parents. Close to that many skip meals because they can’t afford it.

If you, somehow, are serious, you need a reality check.

“Why don’t poor people move further?!”

Yeah, my view is soooo limited. I really can’t wrap my head around a poor person giving up 3 jobs and moving to a new town without any income because I’m soooo narrowninded

The in state cost with $0 in aid.

You’ve never applied to college?

How many publicly funded universities are in Alabama? And how many are within a reasonable distance of [insert town here]?

People rely on public schools. You can’t just up and move to a different one
