It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
In high school, I had a class called 'dollars and sense', which was literally just Dave Ramsey seminars. If I recall, the whole class was just track income and debt, budget, and never get a credit card. Also, only invest in mutual funds. One bit of advice of his I always really like: never lend money to family or friends. This will create a creditor-debtor relationship that will hurt family. If they are really your family or friends, then just give them some money.
This clip seems awful. Perhaps it is lacking context? Or maybe he is just a piece of shit.
they play this guy on the radio and it is just basic financial advice. "Pay debt because interest" level stuff. He doesn't seem completely awful but he's at least a bOoTsTraPs guy. Doesn't ever consider that people can be suck in debt situations that are mathematically impossible to get out of because of low wages (ie wage slavery).
I remember a high school class back in 2015 where we watched Ramsey clips and he said that if you go to the store, you should try to negotiate down the price by showing the cashier and/or seller that you have cash on you.
Has Ramsey never been to a retail store anywhere in the US?
