With all the illegals being deported there is never a better time than now to drive doordash, Uber, or other independent contractor sort of job.

I drove a month as an Uber delivery driver and got all-round a $18-22 an hour. I wager it'll become higher especially if part of that income is, as the gunt says, tax free. I'd recommend students do Uber as their first jobs.

For what it's worth I've heard from people who've done both Lyft and Uber that Lyft is better. You don't get penalized for turning down rides, can work on your own schedule, and more transparent pay.
I heard from someone who did Uber who said they did get penalized for not taking enough rides and aren't told where the destination is before they accept and then when they saw one ride was going to take two hours round trip they got punished for canceling it.
Might have changed (this was a few years ago) but it might be worth doing both Uber and Lyft then stick with the one that treats you better.

Why are republicans so fucking hard for israel? I'm tired of hearing about 'anti-semitism.' It should be anti-muslim since they're the ones doing all the YEWDEN murder sprees

The short answer: The Religious Right and trauma from WW2.

The longer one: The US in general and the right wing in particular has been subject to a generations-long propoganda campaign about how all the Jews need to be in the middle east in order for the second coming to happen and how Armagedden is going to prove the people pushing it right somehow. This effect is embedded in American Evangelical movements far more deeply than most people realize, and the stupidity of it and various associated beliefs has led to a lot of problems for everyone involved. Protestantism in America was rotted out by it and almost all modern leftist rhetoric that doesn’t directly involve worshipping minorities comes about in response to dominionists and/or dispensationalists being as retarded as possible.

Here’s the thing, prisons are essentially slave labor camps at this point.

And there is NOTHING wrong with that!

Nothing makes libertarians happier than innocent people being made miserable in ways that are technically lawful.

The USS Liberty incident being intentional makes zero sense. The US wasn't going to get involved in the war no matter what happened as they had bigger fish to fry, and Israel would have been suicidal to piss off Lyndon B. Johnson, who was a notorious hothead. Likewise trying to hide themselves killing sand niggers wouldn't matter because Johnson didn't give a single flying fuck what the Israelis did to the Arabs. Moshe Dayan, the prime minister at the time, damn near had a heart attack when he heard about the attack from the US ambassador and seriously considered flying to Washington right away to humiliate himself on the Oval Office rug in front of Johnson and beg for forgiveness in front of the TV cameras. And Dayan was himself not known for being meek and humble.

Think it has a tendency to be parroted by low IQ followers of people like Fuentes without any actual understanding that it was not just an attack on American military by a foreign power, but that it can be used to highlight a continuous trend in USA-Israel relations where they consistently fuck us over and yet no response is ever given (e.g. Israeli intelligence stealing US nuclear secrets).

It's that IQ bell curve meme where its easily grasped by both people who have little to no understanding (damn, we had our navy attacked by an ally and basically fuck all happened afterwards?) as well as by people that can notice trends and consistent behaviors (damn, Israel really has its hand so far up our politicians' asses they will willingly ignore repeated national incidents and disgraces if it means we don't offend our Israeli overlords). Lil Shapiro is comfortably in the middle able to gish gallop and pretend like it was an isolated incident that has no bearing on current political standings whenever someone goes up to a mic and regurgitates "da US Liberty incident!". I doubt he would be able to contend with how Israel has made the US its de facto whipping boy and why American citizens should tolerate such grotesque and slavish simpering behavior our politicians display towards a foreign power that we should have no reason to support as we do.

The US Liberty has also been a talking point for years now when it comes to Israel's parasitism so pro AIPAC people have been more than prepared on talking points to counter the weak narratives of people who just know vaguely of the incident, which is why he knows his retort of "well if you look at all these reports" is going to come across as a W to anyone unfamiliar with US-Israel history. He doesn't actually have to counter the argument he just vaguely mentions that the correct account of the event exists in a 100+ page government filing and figures that's enough to dissuade anyone digging further and further profligates the AIPAC endorsed response to people who encounter people repeating the same line.

TLDR; Ben Shapiro has much izzat for his true home and unprepared people who think bringing up the US Liberty unprompted is a win get handwaved away with a preprepared "Bro just do your own research, it really wasn't that big a deal and happened like over 60 years ago duuuude (btw never forget the holocaust)"

The "conservative" move ins around me just brag about how they're not one of THOSE yankees. but then absolutely hate the local culture, refuse to integrate, refuse to even be in public, shop only in the city an hour away, etc. etc.
The worst is each one gets two acres (that they were charged something like ten times what the locals would have paid) and put two of every animal on it like they think they're building a fucking ark.

That’s how I’m building my Minecraft base.

Now when you say “Yankee,” there are varying degrees. While it’s true that the old ways are dying out, parts of the north are still rural or industrial

Sounds like you ran into some Connecticut types

And there is NOTHING wrong with that!

Pointless for prisoners to do nothing. But I think if you paid them a couple dollars an hour instead of a couple cents, they might be able to send something home if they were so inclined, and the missus might have less of a fire under her ass to find a new baby daddy

Provisional on good behavior and all

I haven't allowed a single other human being into my car lol, I refuse to drive people. I just was talking about the delivery service, after work I'd do a couple hours of driving delivering food and groceries. Uber lets ya choose your schedule as well, that's kinda the whole allure of driving these as a legitimate side job; convenience.

I understand that it's long, but if you've seen the movie and most of us have, you understand completely the gist of this clip.

"You're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply and delivery natural resource is consumed the only way you can survive this to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus."
Ever since the loony left have fucked up their own cities and decided to move to a different place and vote it into the shit hole they came from, I'm reminded of that agent Smith speech about them being a cancer.

By smith’s logic, beavers aren’t mammals

New 'toss hit off the presses from Casey Putsch, the promising new challenger in the Ohio Republican Gubernatorial Primary RE: Vivek's NYT OP-ED
https://youtube.com/watch?v=J8BeDyOqoic

The fact that the GOP keeps backing garbage nigger and jeet candidates after turning the RNC last year into a gay third world bazaar makes it very clear they hate their base as much as the left does.

 

[Jace on ice]

This is the absolute worst time to push a fucking jeet too when corporations are frantically moving away from DEI and racial hiring as fast as they can to avoid being sued or investigated.

Big brain GOP moment

Dumbass White House endorsed Tony Gonzales over Brandon Herrera.

Luckily Brandon isnt too bothered by it and sort of understands why.



Still stupid. Brandon actually almost beat him last time and Tony has had to behave himself since then. Brandon can do it.

More people need to run against the bad incumbents. At the very least it forces them to pretend to be on our side for a bit.

Especially one who got rich from an Alzheimers drug scam that could not be more obvious. Unfortunately too many Republicans see that as an accomplishment and wish they could too.

While this is good and there should be a challenge to Vivek and Vivek should be constantly reminded of his 2024 Christmas Hate campaign against Americans.
Looking at his YouTube challenge there is a lot of Schizo posting that makes this candidate not perfect to run.

Lets make a quick pro Con for him:
Pro

• Did not go on a public meltdown about how stupid, evil, mean and retarded Americans are.
• Did not scam the elderly.
• Has good physicallity to him and appeals to the masses, (passes the sniff test) he looks normal and has normal hobbies (cars)
• Small Buisness Owner
• Did Volunteer work getting kids and teens into Automotive mechanic work.
• Appeared on Tucker Carlson to talk about his Wonder Car. (Has a direct line to more media support)

Cons

• His YouTube Channel has what many people could consider schizo posts. (doesn't matter if they are true or not)
• Does not have institutional funding.
• Does not have Trump's endorsement.

The biggest issue here I see after the Primary election is that currently at a glance most people see his core positives as NOT BEING VIVEK and he'll need some strong pitches to win the General Election. Mainly because Vivek turned away so many people in what would have normally been a slam dunk election.

You've got to beat him in the primary because the message that needs to be sent is that Republicans have to stop trying to push these Indians on us. This is more important than beating the Democrats in this one state. Beat Vivek and run Kash out of town now that his work wife Bongino's gone and there will be cheering in the streets.

he should have. it would have done a lot for modern american-israeli relations.

 

[mandatorylurk]

The issue with the bad endorsements is Trump needs to support them so they don’t MTG ragequit in 26 proper, before the election. And that could lead to the real possibility Jeffries is speaker for a few months just out of faggotry. I’m glad Herrera is smart enough to realize that.

He knows he hates these RINOs but he has a thread the needle here
