Good point.

Pardon me, but what the f**k is that supposed to mean?? My kid went to high school in Brooklyn and is now a college graduate, but I’m really starting to wonder how on earth it ever happened! What nonsense.

Hipsters and Yuppies are both cut from the same mold.
1) They both think they are cutting edge by living in a gentrified area which they didn’t even care about until their friend “Molly” moved in or they read about it in New York magazine as the “up and coming” area — well after the real artists and working class had shaped it into a community. They’re real estate suckers — not real estate geniuses as they believe.
2) They both are habitual hypocrites. They support Obama and “equality for all” like no tomorrow, but are inherently racist and classist assholes. They will move into a once culturally-mixed city neighborhood and then immediately start to racial profile and judge any old time residents by the color of their skin and the quality of their shops. They will eat at the local Spanish retaurant and teach their brats how to speak another language only to show their friends how cultured they are, but really only want to be surrounded by more whitebred assholes like themselves. They are the anti-melting pot which NYC has always prided itself on.
3) They all support each other’s lifestyles and attitudes, but once things get tough the perceived loyalty disappears unlike the working class residents who have built long time roots and respect that last a lifetime.
4) They both pay no dues in life. Many of them are trust funders who have had everything handed to them — so once they move into a city neighborhood they expect everything to change for them. They want to be down with a city but refuse to accept some of its old traditions. They want the old businesses removed if they don’t directly cater to them or if they cause any type of inconvenience not considering whether or not these are hard working families that have operated there for generations. Truly despicable behavior.
5) They both are attention seekers. Hipsters have their exotic pets and parades and yuppies have their pure breeds and babies. Yuppies use babies as an accessory – they parade these brats around to get approval and attention from people around them as if the world only revolves around them, their baby and their French Mastiff. True definition of narcissism.
6) They both are lemmings, sheeple, followers. They are motivated solely by trends, but believe they are so unique and the world revolves around THEM.
7) They both are condescending, pompous and sarcasstic all while riding on complete ignorance as they fool themselves into how much they truly know about city life, culture and society. They are deluded in their own self worth.
This list is interchangeable and can go on and on and on because of their shallow pretension.
Hell yeah – hipsters and yuppies are they same implanted scumbags with the same mind set and motivations – and the mass urban gentrification over the past 10 years that they have been about are certainly part of the economic treachery that we all face now.
All in the name of: “LOOK AT ME, I’M SPECIAL.” Thanks asswipes for destroying our city!
I hope you are this poster Jack Slade from Diehipster because this sums up everything about the retards..
what the president says is one thing, what will happen is another.
He wants to avoid a single payer system to stimulate competition. What happens though is this, medicare sets the standard payments to doctors and all the other health plans follow suit. why would they pay more if most doctors are enrolled in medicare and medicare pays less?
this new plan that would cover the “47 million” would presumably be some sort of medicaid-like entity (federally funded, state administered). medicaid pays even less than medicare. Doctors don’t even want to deal with medicaid.
End result is this, the national plan (be it medi-america, or medicare-lite, will be setting the standard for reimbursements for all insurance companies. If the plan is cheaper, private companies will dis-enroll from their private plans and sign up with the new low cost, cheapy plan, thereby ensuring a lower standard of care.
Furthermore, he is proposing an increase in the patient pool by about 15-20%, without any discernable means of increasing the doctor pool by a similar amount. We can’t out-source doctoring to India unfortunately. Again, quality healthcare goes down the drain.
Beyond that, he refuses to address TORT reform , that is, he refuses to acknowledge the fact that much medical expendature is entirely due to CYO medicine, where the doctor orders an MRI to avoid the 1 in a million possibility that you have a gonad tumor.
The dirty little secret is that the government does a HORRIBLE job of administering healthcare as it stands, Medicaid in NY state is full of fraud, waste and abuse and medicare is due to go bankrupt in 15 years.
Rationing of medical care will be a necessity at first then a sad reality, as it is in Canada and the UK.
WOW…WHAT REALLY IS TOTALLY RACIST.
OK…another Filipino Prison clip…stay on till you get the guys in drag…
