This was my lunch today Samosa filled patties (aloo tikki) Chana masala (chickpea curry) And chutney. (Not that green thing) Itβs got a red tint to it because i eat south Asian spicy not western spicy. 20% of the population here is south Asian so thereβs an expectation to keep the food authentic.
Frank π¨π¦ (@whynotbehere.bsky.social) reply parent
Green chutney does have mint in it. yogurt-based raita is white with green flecks. I live in a city that has a very high South Asian population. I have only ever been served tamarind chutney with samosas so seeing a green chutney with samosas looks very weird to me.

While Obama had 8 yrs most of his spending occurred between 2009-2010 when Democrats also controlled congress. So length of time in office is irrelevant. As for any reason the money was spent being for good or bad is all a matter of perspective. Trump loves golf, Biden loved his beach house.

If men are willing to be orderlies, ambulance attendants and paramedics they should also be encouraged that nursing is an option. I attached the webpage of our local university nursing school. It too is washed in that pink/purple color that boys are raised to associate with girls.
Frank π¨π¦ (@whynotbehere.bsky.social) reply parent
There are lots of men in low paying traditional male jobs like cooks. Those jobs tend to pay low because they require little or no education. But skilled fields like nursing have absolutely no excuse for not doing more to attract men. Instead they act like a girls only club.

If you donβt believe pink privilege is a thing take a look at the websites and logos used by groups like nurses. Pink is their color of choice before you even talk to them, deliberately creating an anti male atmosphere. I have nothing but respect for the few men who do go into those careers.

When i was in college i thought of becoming a paralegal, a woman dominated field. I had all the qualifications but law firms one after another refused to even give me an interview. Finally a female lawyer said point blank, βsorry weβre looking for someone to fill in for our girls.β
Frank π¨π¦ (@whynotbehere.bsky.social) reply parent
One way to correct pay equity is to encourage more men to work in women dominated fields. I call it pink privilege. Women are encouraged to work at any job they want while men are still openly discouraged from pursuing jobs in women dominated fields.

Biden spent over 6 trillion in 4 yrs My point is quoting how much debt Trump incurred is meaningless out of context. It doesnβt consider inflation or Trump having to deal with the pandemic. I say glass houses because, as Obama showed, Democrats are just as likely to incur huge debts as Republicans.
Frank π¨π¦ (@whynotbehere.bsky.social) reply parent
If you looked at the article Obama was 8.3 Trillion. I said over $8 not $8
Frank π¨π¦ (@whynotbehere.bsky.social) reply parent
Fact checking and glass houses: Obama created the largest amount over $8 trillion in debt and he didnβt shut the country down for a pandemic. Trump only added $8.1 trillion which is less than Obama. www.consumeraffairs.com/finance/us-d...

A good rule of thumb is to avoid the internet completely if someone isnβt in a good headspace. The decisions of what to read or not read at that time are not driven by logic. Go for a walk, or even better, interact with real people, even if itβs just strangers at the local old folks home.

The bill legalizing war crimes by Americans was enacted in 2002 under George W Bush. Obama did nothing to repeal it. Americans on both sides are very happy knowing war crimes are legal in the US. The US and all its claims of human rights and due process died on Sept 11, 2001.

In 2002 the US passed a bill laughingly called American Service-Members' Protection Act which authorizes an armed invasion if an American or an ally is ever arrested for war crimes by the ICC. Because war crimes are committed against non Americans, Americans are happy to leave this Act alone.
