Do you have beliefs/opinions that you are afraid/unable to say out loud?

California’s total unfunded pension liability (aka pension debt) remains at more than $1.0 trillion, measured on a market basis; this translates into $77,000 per household.

California—not Mississippi, New Mexico, or West Virginia—has the highest poverty rate in the United States. According to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure—which accounts for the cost of housing, food, utilities, and clothing, and which includes noncash government assistance as a form of income—nearly one out of four Californians is poor.

California state and local governments spent nearly $958 billion from 1992 through 2015 on public welfare programs, including cash-assistance payments, vendor payments, and “other public welfare,” according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Unfortunately, California, with 12 % of the American population, is home today to roughly 35% of the nation’s welfare recipients.

This is why people think you are an assho1e. No one cares about your backwards thinking. Sharing it in person just makes you insufferable.

No this thread's really not about me.

I've always wondered what it's like to have all the mainstream conventional opinions. To corporate HR employees espouse the exact same beliefs as me. To watch the Oscars acceptance speeches and be like "yassss! I totally agree" with all of them.

Not complaining, I've just always been curious what that would feel like
