Translation attempt:
I don't understand how this virus came from Wuhan China to the US (air travel is too confusing to me). I used to not be scared, but now I'm scared, no lie. Many of you think this is a joke, like ghe ghe ghe ghe ghe ghe, like I used to think, but this is no joke. You may not think this will impact you because you're immune to it, but this will definitely impact your finances. If you wonder why your hair implants and designer clothes isn't arriving on time, it's because they are imported from China. And now you can't resell them here in the US. Poop is real. Poop is getting real. Coronavirus!

That's a bi partisan proposal. Dems don't want high earners getting $ either.

How many people making $100K a year are paycheck to paycheck? I bet there's a really good percentage...

The vast majority of Italian fatalities had heart disease, hypertension, or diabetes.

Oh my, you really have to go out of your way to make yourself talk with that type of dumb slang.

The funniest is when people actually try to type words like the way that sounds lol


People talk how they talk. Not sure why you're judging how she talks, she's from a different part of the country than you. Lived a different life than you. You don't like it, whatever. But you're not better than she. Know that.

Gotcha
GOP is taking lead on it, but both parties seem to want to prevent that. Also if married it's 150k household. If you have kid it goes up.

Remember, a lot of people at hospitals got infected when the virus was unknowingly already in the community and being spread around. As hospitals became aware of the virus, they began testing everyone in the hospital with respiratory problems and saw the number of infected people they already had...

Our national savings rate has been low for awhile now, maybe that's another thing we can work on when this is over. 8-) But I think that's a reasonable cap, although of course there will be many who make over $100K and are going to be hit hard anyway.

Only 39% of Americans have enough savings to cover a $1,000 emergency

No, you don't get to say or determine what's the right way for everybody to talk. That's your feeling of superiority talking. You are not superior though, no matter how you talk, or how superior you think you are. Know that.

While nobody has a right to tell you how to act he called you out because you came across narrowminded and bigoted. You can accept the fact that he and others think the same about your comments. Richfield is voicing his concern for you and your mindset in life.

It is okay to accept the fact that not all of us say the right thing 100% of the time and doubling down on a foolish statement is a fools errand.

Might be OK as long as you’re not paying private school costs but it really depends on where you live. In Seattle, San Francisco, SoCal, NYC, Boston, North Virginia/DC area, $100,000 doesn’t mean much when rents and mortgages are really **** high.

Average 2 bedroom apt. rent in Seattle is $2,500. After taxes, $100K is about 75K (sales tax but no income tax)

Costs estimator for a family of four is $4,000 sans rent but that includes daycare which maybe many don’t need anymore and other things you can cut. But yeah, I would bet most families living on 100K in these types of cities are paycheck to paycheck

I dont care what richfield thinks of me in the slightest. You or richfield no nothing about me except the fact i think that sounds dumb to talk that extreme in slang.

My morals and way i operate my family and life are just fine without needing his life guidance, thanks for worrying though
