Back in 1960, the US minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average US home was $11,000.00
In ‘Hell’s Angels’ Hunter Thompson had a chapter about the economics of being a biker/hippie/artist circa 1970. Six months of a full time Union job as a stevedore paid enough for a biker to hit the road for two years. A part time waitress could afford to support herself and her musician boyfriend.
Of course people were happy here.
I literally had that conversation.
If you don’t have a good sized freezer, buy one. They aren’t that expensive and they’ll pay for themselves. Right now I have pints sized portions of two different home made soups in the freezer. Takes me five minutes to microwave. It takes just as long to cook 10 portions as it does one.
If I know I’ll have a busy week I’ll make myself a three pound roast chicken on Sunday afternoon. Other folks I know will make a lasagna or roast beef or a big pot of rice and beans. Just make something you can use all week. The good thing about chicken is that I can make tacos, or a sandwich, or throw some on a salad.

“A friend of mine once made what I consider the best anti-war movie ever made. After it opened, military recruitment in his home town jumped by fifty percent.”
That’s a comment that you can use on pretty much any post on any subject.
“This is my mother’s recipe for lemon zest cake…”
You forgot the dark alley and truncheon…
I replay because I’m having a ball watching you trying to act like an adult.
If you were actually serious about emulating Bobby Seale et al you’d be out doing community organizing and running after school programs.
You’d be too busy to be a keyboard warrior.
Never heard that one, but it’s true. When I need to spell a word I ask “does it look right?”
To repeat an interweb truism…
English isn’t a language; it’s three smaller languages sitting on each other’s shoulders and wearing a long coat and a fedora.
Are you that desperate for attention that you’ll beg people to insult you?
Go outside and touch the grass.
I’m literally laughing out loud.
I’m so scared of you and your keyboard antics.
And it’s funny that the best you can come up with in fifty years is an organization that will be a minor footnote, on a par with the St. Patrick’s Battalion of the Mexican War.
Overall, George Carlin probably had a bigger impact on society than you and your fellow revolutionaries.
There’s a rule of thumb on US dating sites.
If someone describes themselves as “moderate” or “neutral” they are a Trump supporter who is tired of being turned down sight unseen.
Look at “Thunderball,” the Bondiest of the Bond movies. Bond assaults a nurse, kills a dozen guys with a spear gun, and that movie was considered fine for general audiences. They even sold Bond toys to little kids, including a fake knife.
It was a simpler, gentler time.
lol!
You mean the tiny group that served some free meals in a few cities and got wiped out by the police?
The one that had a leader [Eldrige Cleaver] who considered rape as a political act?
Meanwhile Obama’s ACA gave health coverage to 45 million people.
I’ll stick with the people who actually get things done.
You’ve gone from mildly amusing to shrilly repetitive. Can’t waste more time on you. Go outside and touch the grass.
Which letter confused you?
It was rated “R” I think they’d have gone with something that people would bring kids to see.
Interesting thought though.
You’re hilarious.
The ACA never happened, the New Deal never happened, nothing matters unless you decide it’s worthy.

Thank you for proving my point. We should be working on preserving the gains we’ve made instead of focusing on a pie in the sky future.
90 million people didn’t vote.
