100s of 1000s of $$
This is cursed and looks like “hundreds or thousands of dollars” at a glance. Just say “100,000s of dollars” or “$200,000+”.
I would say $100K+ & provide a link. Idk. It’s nice & short, it’s lowball & true to say, and if people want to look up more accurate numbers they can do so on their own time.
I think “100,000s of dollars” is cursed too. If you want to use that phrasing, just spell out “hundreds of thousands”.
Wouldn’t that be “hundreds of a thouseand”?
No, the thousands are plural.
Or a six figure sum.
Indeed, the USA is turning into the WASP version of 1979 Iran.

That is the religion
America
She sounds overqualified for the position.
Trump: “So you’re saying I have a chance?!”
Fuck Jonathan Cain and his bitch wife
Turn around. Turn and walk away.
Hopefully rapture comes and removes her from this planet for being Anti-Christ.
Rapture already happened as predicted. The problem is, literally no one except like, one dude named Rick in Michigan and the Yang family in a small fishing village in China.
Everyone else got left behind in a spiraling purgatory chaos world.
I was wondering what happened to Rick…
He took up science
That’s why christian zios are working hard to genocide palestinians.
Strange place.
It’s cause you gotta take it on faith that she’s qualified to be within 1000 feet of the Whitehouse.
How deep in denial of being trailer trash do you have to be to wear gold pearls?

Is that why she didn’t stop believing? (I’m guessing she never started, but…)
Well done

The religion they are alluding to is not Christianity … it’s the holy all powerful and all consuming religion of MONEY
Ahhh fuck that movie.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I’m all outta bubble gum.
Money has been the point of religion for a very long time.
Nah, it was originally about making sure your population had good morals, then about controlling your population more generally, then about making money, then about banning fun for some reason, then about making money again
It’s been quite the wild ride
I don’t for a second believe that religion was required for people to have good morals. It was required for control.
By good morals I mean it came up about the time that people were moving from tribes where they knew everyone personally to settlements where it was impossible to… it sounds weird now but “don’t steal from strangers”, “don’t kill strangers”, “share your harvest with strangers in need” etc. were actually pretty novel ideas which needed to be taught and helped a bunch with ensuring people could co-exist with more people than they had relationships with
Parents do tge same thing with santa.
Agree 100%
A lot of old testament stuff had to do with hygiene. Look at all the kosher rules regarding food. Deut. 22:9 also forbids growing mixed crops, which likely had to do with the chance of crossbreeds being infertile and the inability for Bronze/Iron Age tribes being able to replace seed stock quickly enough.
Or some priest or political leader took revenge against a pig farmer who slept with his daughter.
And the mixed crops this was more likely to make sure farmers are not self sufficient.
No. The seed thing is explicitly so the farmers could grow the same crop from year to year. If you grow a cucumber in the same plot as squash, the seeds from both will be a hybrid and not give you anything useful. Cucurbits are notoriously easy to hybridize and create useless offspring. The genetic mechanics wouldn’t have been know, but you would still see the results. People needed to live in groups then and now. No farmer would ever be able to be completely self sufficient regardless, especially then.
I was thinking more along the lines of shellfish for a primarily desert people or the Rabbi being the defacto food inspector.
I would think that farmers were experienced and smart enough to know which crops would hybridize and which don’t. They would not need the clergy to tell them that.
We don’t see farmers today getting farming advice from the church. They get it from other farmers. I don’t see any reason for it to be different back then.
I do see however that the church wanted to sound important and wise. So they wrote things down, but without having a full understanding, so a lot of the advice they wrote down is too simplistic.
We don’t see farmers today getting farming advice from the church. They get it from other farmers.
uh, they get it from the ag departments from their state/local universities. They didn’t have universities back then.
Also, while most farmers probably knew not to do hybrids back then, the consequences of loosing an entire year’s harvest of a stable crop would mean famine for the tribe. You can’t just ask for half of a neighboring village’s seed stock. It was important enough to make it a sin.
It’s true there are religious nutjobs in the white house currently, but there were also nutjobs running and ruining the country in the previous government. Let’s see who’s actually fighting for the Americans, instead of licking the boots of foreign bad actors.
What is the actual point of this comment?
Spoken like a foreign bad actor
I bet you’re one of those ILLEGAL immigrants or iran backing islamists who Trump want to deport. Serves you right. Or if you’re a citizen, shame on you for not protecting your own country from those invaders.
Oh.
I would honestly rather not see how bad the foreign bad actors gets, especially with the current administration. The “find out” phase has so much more to go.
Fucking prosperity gospel is evil
