This was in line with my immediate thoughts too.

It seems grossly unfair to judge Japanese people on their ability to speak English.

Use one hand to scoop and use the fingers on your other hand to count to ten. Then you don’t have to remember.

The Michigan Uncommitted movement isn’t why Trump won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Georgia, and Nevada, nor why he won the popular vote by almost 4 million votes.

Every single third party vote could be given to Harris and Trump would still win.

No one claiming the uncommitted voters cost Harris the election actually has evidence to back that up.

Instead, they’re just using the election as an excuse to push the racism and bigotry that they wanted to push regardless of how the election turned out.

That’s a fair point; my statement was probably too strong.

Finer grained distinctions absolutely do matter, I just think they are overshadowed by the difference between working class and wealthy class.

Exactly this.

The only meaningful class distinction is working class/wealthy class.

Working class is anyone who has to work for their income whereas wealthy class is anyone whose wealth generates enough income for them on its own.

It’s possible to move from working class to wealthy class, after all people do actually do that, but it’s exceptionally rare because it’s exceptionally difficult.

Discipline alone isn’t enough, as you also have to be lucky enough to avoid things like major medical issues, bad market timing, and other financial headwinds that are out of your control.

Why are you pretending that is some sort of gotcha?

Diplomats communicating with their nation’s allies does not make them legitimate military targets.
