the Cohen Bros are the ones that said he was the Rubik's Cube heir
but drug-addled? I don't know about that, he did seem to be mellowed out from reefer and the freedom of being unemployed
and considering circumstances and bad vibes from uptight people I think he conducted himself in a gentlemanly manner
as a matter of fact I think the Dude is an excellent role model for today's hyper society

(excuse me, my brownies need to be taken out of the oven)

I don't know how I got dragged into this...I just liked the original meme. The dude is cool & wise for the most part {#Good-vibes}

Yeah, he didn't have any real income. He was a bit drug-addled, so I think he forgot that at times, which is why in that one scene he talked about being bumped up to another income bracket... from his non-existent income bracket. That's my theory, sticking to it.

the Cohen Bros didn't put it in the movie but as it turns out the Dude was heir to the Rubik's Cube fortune

However, if I recall correctly, the dude at one point expressed concern about being in a different tax bracket if he collected the $$ in the botched scheme.

The dude was on a strict drug regimen, though, so he didn't always think clearly... still a good meme in any case.

This may be a problem for the current administration... Flynn's talks with Russian ambassador point to larger problem

Interesting post. I thought about pointing RPers to this NY Times column by Thomas Edsall while this thread was focused so heavily on illegal immigration, but forgot about it. The column points to research trying to explain why some groups in Europe and the US are so concerned by illegal immigration. It doesn't seem that illegal immigration has affected wages of native workers a great deal, but natives feeling economically insecure and threatened by rapid cultural change blame illegal immigrants for their own problems and seek out authoritarian leaders like Trump to fix things.

Careful when attempting to hold up a mirror for others to see themselves in. They may not like what they see.
