This thread was dumb from the get go and got appropriately owned in the comments.

This is a perfect example of what an insular and socially isolating cult right-wing media is.

The OP ran here thinking this was such a great GOTCHYA only to find out that, outside the cult echo chamber, reality exists. And in that reality 3 hours of skilled labor for a middle class women's cut and color is $300 for EVERYONE. That is the average cost of getting a woman's hair style.

This happens over and over again in the cult right-wing media. They dupe their readers into believing in misconceptions, unfounded conspiracies and outright lies and when those readers venture outside their echo chambers, they get massively owned.

The people who have fallen into this cult NEED to see this movie.

Ya wanna know why I know the base of Trump's support are angry little incels?

Anyone who's ever had an actual relationship with a woman knows how much a cut and color costs and that 300 including tip is not a high priced cut and color.

Anyone who's ever had a relationship that's LGBT knows that as well!

This statement goes back 26 year so who knows now.
Brazilian women are really good at teaming up and doing stuff for each other. For example girl I dated made much of her clothing, she’d do the same for a woman who did her nails and another woman who did her hair. There was a definite barter going on.
I have no idea how much she spent on hair and nails but I doubt it was much money, I know it was more labor but even that was weird. She’d knock out clothing or fix or alter stuff for random people she knew all the time. She wasn’t even a seamstress, she was a secretary.

There was nothing "elite" about it. That's what a cut and color costs. That is what skilled labor costs. Middle class women everywhere pay that for a cut and color.

Well that's the issue. None of the complainants know what middle class looks like, or costs. This is the poverty of Republican mind screaming "how could you, you are supposed to eat dirt like me!?". It's actually a cry for help. Trickle down has run them down, to the point where they actually hate Capitalists enjoying Capitalism.

Personally, I'm right "there" with them. In the sense that no one I know in my life has ever paid that much for their hair.

We'll need to agree to disagree with everything except you're last sentence

I'm forced to conclude that you're not squarely engaged with reality.

How would you even know? It's not something women really talk about with men. I mean, you know, if you compliment a woman on her style she doesn't tell you how much it cost.

Understood, but let me rephrase the message I was trying to convey.

6 in 10 Americans don't have $500 in savings
Maybe cause fewer and fewer people are Middle Class. And I don't think people struggling month to month have hundreds of dollars to burn.

The nation, the whole freaking nation, is increasingly starving for cash. That's why $320 for a single "haircut" sounds !@#$ing insane to us. Then it's explained and we're reminded "oh, right... people dye their hair these days". Then it's like, wait, what? Isn't that something you buy at Walmart and apply yourself? The life style of the Middle Class is like a foreign nation. Those filthy stinking elites and their money. And they want us to pay more, to sacrifice our sweat, our blood, to pay welfare to <insert scapegoat here> !? Anger, rage, hate.

^ That's pretty much the best insight I can share with you. To help explain this topic. I was a little shocked to learn that $320 is something people spend.. on hair. But I do listen to facts, and it makes perfect sense. That it's actually a normal thing. For a small subset of people. Some, however, are less inclined to see reason. AOC is an "other" and oh, look at that, an activity "others" do. So let's hate on that. *sigh...

As I said earlier, they must really despise Capitalism if they see a woman spending money and demean her for it.

I'm just trying to imagine the criticisms if AoC didn't have a professional hairdo.

She's like a homeless person who doesn't take care of herself and she wants to take care of us the same. A few more months now and I will be able to use a rubber band to keep my hair out of my eyes. I can find them for free if I follow the mailman. They think they grow free on a government rubber tree. Worthless wasteful swines.

Brazil is so big and diverse that I am sure things like what you mentioned are very different based upon area and socioeconomic status. For example in Sao Paulo traffic is so bad they divide up which cars are allowed on the streets. I forget the exact method but think license plates ending in odd numbers can drive Monday, Wednesday and Friday and license plates ending in an even number can drive Tuesdays and Thursdays. The average person cant even afford a car so no bother to them, the small minority of people who are lucky enough to have a car will find people to car pool with on days they cant drive but the rich people who are the majority of car owners just buy a 2nd car so they can always drive.

Unless 1940-1950 is your dream land...its also a useless data point.
If the goal is to bring household income back to that levels, then we might as well go back to the barter system in the dark ages.

Back then the population was <130 Million.
A new house cost $6500. New Cars cost $800, gas was $0.18, the salary of a doctor/lawyer was $7-10K annually.

The reason why people were so successful in that time period, is labor was scarce... every able body was fighting in WW2.

If you want to eliminate 40 million people and then close off immigration to bring that back, i'm all for it, but good luck selling that to your friends who think that the best way to win elections is to import a new voting base.

Keep America White?

Too bad some of us know women who frequent or even own salons! Women my mom’s age, who come from a blue collar background and on a fixed income, spend under $100 for a cut and color, especially if they are long time customers. Those who have discretionary income might splurge and hit $200 if they’re doing lowlights or highlights. The more affluent can afford a higher end salon where you have a stylist, colorist, blowdryer and shampoo girl. These hit $300 plus because you are dealing with a pit crew of workers.

If you can afford $300 for the salon, you are doing well for yourself. I am glad the AOC fan club is here to argue otherwise.

I just love the notion that countless here are saying that she is "doing what she is doing because women have to be beautiful"...

As if $310+ haircuts and styles are what are needed for a woman to be beautiful.

Then you have the picture perfect affluent liberal members here saying "My wife does this all the time! It really is that expensive and it's entirely normal!" hahaha. Oh god, your white privilege is showing there kiddos.

"But her haircut!"

You know, as a Capitalist, I favor AOC doing her part to invest in hair salons. Also, as a Capitalist, I frankly do not care how she spends her money.

If only others were as comfortable with Capitalism as I am. There would be no need for a topic attempting to demean a woman purchasing a service at the going rate.

Funny how people dislike capitalism yet theyll bitch on their smartphone. Use their laptop or TV to view movies. Drive their new $40k car that they can't really afford. And so many things that are now available to use because of CAPITALISM! IMO, the reason some people have a difficult time with capitalism is because they have to work. People who hustle and make good money cast a light on their laziness. So, they blame the system.

This thread is a case study of privilege. It’s as if they’re out of touch with working class communities.
