Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 Avocado Toast $3600 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying

It's an avocado, how much could it cost? $10?

But seriously, how do you become a millionaire when your math is so bad?? Avocados are $2.50 each in my local grocery store (in Portland, Oregon). If I ate 3 avocados every day for a year, it would only be $2740 for the year — assuming an average down payment of $70,000 (20% of Portland's median house price), eschewing avocados would take 25 years to add up to a down payment on a house. Even if you had "smashed avocado with crumbled feta on five-grain toasted bread at $22 a pop" and a $4 cups of coffee 3 times a week ($26*3*52 weeks), that costs about $4050 a year — so cutting those out means you could have saved up for that down payment in just over 17 years!

Even assuming you invested the money you would otherwise be spending on fruit at 5% — which incidentally would require risking loss in the stock market, because you can’t get returns like that right now by parking the money in no-risk bank accounts — it would still take 12.7-16.8 years to amass a down payment by cutting out avocado toast and lattes.

TL;DR, this guy is a rich jerk who sucks at math.

The Portland grocery store experience

4 differently colored Subarus compete for the same parking space in the overcrowded lot. You walk through the rain with your reusable bags and bottle deposit slips, then discover that you have to go to the customer service desk to buy poppy seeds because people keep stealing them off the shelves trying to get high.

So I just needed y'all to see this

Look, it has Hebrew too !

This is a real sign at a real store in my town. My midwestern town with a fairly small Jewish population.

I just… things are scary and I realize this is one tiny random thing, but please take a moment to appreciate this with me.

If you want a copy of this poster to put up at your home or place of work, it can be found at HNPCA, where you can download it OR order actual signs.

White House says it Deliberately Omitted Jews from Holocaust Statement | Time

The Holocaust Remembrance Day statement made no mention of the 6 million Jews killed

Deliberately. Omitted. The Jews…. from HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY.

It’s already been pointed out before, but it bears repeating: Trump - who campaigned with anti-Semitism - is NOT trying to be a friend to the Jews.

Or Muslims. Or Black people. Or Women. Or anyone else in the United States. Or the world.

(And no, Jared Kushner doesn’t count)

NativLang has an interesting series of videos on the history of writing. This video is about the (partial) development of vowels in Arabic, Hebrew, and other Semitic languages. (One reason that vowels aren’t as necessary in Semitic languages is because of their unique system of triconsonantal roots.)

5calls.org is a site that makes it super easy to take action by calling your representatives.

All you have to do is enter your zip code and you will see a list of issues on the left side of your screen that you can choose from. When you click on one you will see a brief summary of the issue followed by the name and number for one of your representatives. Underneath that is a script for the specific issue you are calling about if you need it.

REBLOG IF YOU ARE JEWISH, SUPPORT JEWISH PEOPLE, OR JUST WANT TO PUNCH NAZIS IN THE FACE

[incorrecttlcquotes]

Unfollow me if you wish, but this blog will NEVER support Trump and instead supports the LGBT community, racial minorities, women, people with disabilities, immigrants, Muslims, Jewish people, and anyone else who is afraid now. I am with you, and this will always be a safe space for you.
