Ben Baller is a pathological liar. I have no doubt that he's well off, but please do not believe that bull @#$@ about becoming a millionaire off sneakers.
In addition, despite being a liar, Ben Baller is at the very least an intelligent person. Ninjahood is not even literate. Dude can't speak English OR Spanish yet is pro US and pro Dominican Republic.

They don't like because it's called "Obamacare", what will mostly like happen, is that Trump's n Co will leave the best part of "Obamacare" and call it "Trump care". We all know "Obamacare" was a Republican plan in the first place.

You really going to compare actual business entrepreneurs to Ninja?
Cmon b
Ninja got a nice sneaker collection, but that doesn't make him a salesman

Republicans don't have a plan. After 6 years of opposition, they're still trying to come up with a replacement even though they are very eager to do away with the ACA. And they are willing to leave a lot of Americans hanging while they work out a solution.
Patriots my ***.

Let's do the math.
400 pairs of worn sneakers. Let's be generous and say he gets $100 a pair. 400 x $100 = $40,000. Subtract 10% for eBay fees (eBay is the only place you selling worn sneakers unless you're dumping them at goodwill; something he'd never do) so $4,000. Take another 2% of from PayPal fees so $800. Shipping at $10 a pair deducts another $4,000. All I'm seeing is about $30k. This isn't profit, this is recovering some of the money he spent consuming the goods.
I don't know where he's getting $90k from or that he'd ever even be able to unload that heap of junk. Have you seen the condition his kicks and their boxes are in?
The only thing he has used Ben Baller as a blueprint for is how to gain NT fame by acting like an idiot and playing yourself.

Yes it's possible. Ninja isn't doing it though. You gave two extreme examples. Difference between them and ninja being, Ben and Benjamin kickz were afforded their opportunities by their parents/celebrity money, similar to Trump. Ninja's mom is on government assistance and he's holding her back. Any parental seed money is sitting in gold plated Jesus tears right now.

Yea all the scenes from the protests of cops and hired private goons drenching unnamed folks with water cannons in below freezing temperature and attacking them with dogs won't be a proud part of his legacy to look back on to say the least...Wtf is this inhumane crap??

I have nothing against people living with their parents. In European and Asian cultures, it's normal for you to stay home with your family. However, it is NOT normal to freeload and live a life of luxury while your parents struggle or live in substandard conditions. If my mom was working her @#$ off to raise me in a tiny old cramped apartment, and I could've easily paid for rent for a bigger apartment but chose to spend it all on six figures worth of shoes and jewelry instead, my mom would have disowned me and moved back to her country (or maybe not, because then she'd have to explain to all our relatives that her son is a failure). That's why I always laugh when Ninja condescendingly states that he has no "overhead cost" (I'm an accountant; dude doesn't even know what this means) and that he has all these "investments", and how the rest of us are peasants compared to him because we pay thousands for our own rent while he spends those same thousands on ugly sneakers and tacky gold chains.

With the pipeline stuff. To keep it funky. They need to stop holding hands and signing we are the world and dead that peaceful protest crap if they want to be taken seriously.
Why do you think Isis has the Middle East shook? Because they're chopping heads off, not singing songs.
Grab their bows and arrows or strap up. A ceo of a company who wants to build a pipeline views them as nothing but an annoying inconvenience he'll disperse of in a way that's not damaging public relations wise. The CEO doesn't think he can get touched. When their protest instill fear it'll get results.

Unarmed and nonviolent as well. I definitely lost a ton of respect for him these past few months, and of course, Trump won't do anything about it, since he already has money invested in Energy Transfer Partners

Native Americans already tried that approach and nearly got exterminated by the US as punishment for protecting their own lands. You think the few numbers that are left have any chance against militarized police AND the military?

Seriously,dude just outlined the late 1800's for Natives
,they def rebelled and got a genocide committed against their people in return...The pipeline company even sent an armed agent provocateur to their protests to help justify a more muscular law enforcement response before he got exposed,imagine if everyone was armed :x

They don't, but they need to find a way to get stronger, be it short term, or long term. Rome didn't last forever and neither will America. But the land sadly belongs to whoever has the strongest army.
Power dynamics are what they are. At this point some rogue native Americans shooting a few cops or holding a pipeline ceo hostage and scalping him on video would get them taken seriously more than what they're currently doing. Hell vandalizing Arlington national cemetery is an option too. Because that way people will see where they're coming from.
I'm not a fan of peaceful protest though. You need something like the Arab spring uprisings to get results. Problem is, things aren't nowhere near as bad here, so the urgency isn't there the way it was in those countries.

To keep it funky in America means getting violent against America's Law Enforcement whom are equipped with military gear? 
'Spring uprising' here in America would only give the States the power to declare martial law and a curfew. Been there.. done that... LA Riots 1992... and what did that accomplish other than our neighborhood markets being looted and burned down.

The right does have ACA replacement proposals. They may be unpopular, but there are plenty. The dude Trump just picked for HHS has his own: http://tomprice.house.gov/sites/tom...R 2300 Empowering Patients First Act 2015.pdf

It would be more effective than singing we shall overcome. I got no problem with any group taking the by any means necessary approach if they feel slighted.

There have been plenty of ACA alternatives proposed. One of them was opening insurance across state lines in attempt to drive overall costs down because competition would be created.
ACA only passed because the Dems controlled the House and Senate at the time. There were no Republicans that voted on it. Hell, no politician even read the bill (It is over 1000 pages IIRC). Pelosi herself said that we'll have to pass it and see what happens. However, her district was exempt from the ACA and she isn't required to get her insurance from it. Another myth that Obama couldn't get anything done because no one would work with him. The first two years of his presidency were that in which Washington was held firmly by Democrats.
The CBO said in 09 that 20-30 MM would truly benefit from it and what happened? They were right. Everyone isn't covered and it arguably exacerbated how bad healthcare has become in this country. The quality of care has gone down and continues to trend in that direction. Instead of focusing on preventative care, American medicine continues to focus on after the fact.
