It’s important to note that right after saying this…
A German AFD supporter who retweets Musk drove into a Christmas market in a terrorist attack
Germany has stricter laws about inciting violence, it’s a long shot but maybe he’ll get charges
Up from 9% last year tho…
There’s a huge backlog of PC games and a lot that just play their favorites and that’s it.
Because it’s moving to the top.
When the fuck hasn’t it?
We used to take it back with taxes, now we don’t…
Have you learned anything about economics outside of a classroom?
More money moving is better for everyone.
*Gestures broadly at “the economy” Biden kept bragging about
Lots of money is moving, it’s not good for the majority of us
That’s not the point of inflation.
Our economy needs inflation to discourage saving and incentive investing.
If there was no inflation and 3% interest on savings, that’s all people would do.
So they make inflation more, and people lose purchasing power in a savings account, and instead invest, which pumps up stock prices for the whales who knows when to cash out.
On a smaller level it incentives people to spend as soon as they get it, because next year a $100 is worth less, so they spend while it’s worth more.
It’s a house of cards and when the wealthy owns the government there’s no one to hit the brakes on profits before the economy crashes and burns.
They have…
But these are NK troops, none of them have seen combat before.
“The best” means they’re the only ones who had enough calories to be relatively healthy.
Same with the border guards, and I think the last one to escape to the south had like a six foot tapeworm and a host of other old school parasites and diseases.
Trench warfare is tough on a healthy person, and not many North Koreans are healthy.
Knowing Putin he talked up how important these troops are, and pissed Kim off by using them as cannon fodder. Kim could have sent his absolute worst and had the same result.
“The Russians include them in combined units and use them in operations in the Kursk region,” Zelenskyy said in a statement posted to his Telegram page. “So far, only there. But we have information suggesting their use could extend to other parts of the frontline. There are also already noticeable losses in this category.”
These are “the best” NK troops, but still have never seen combat.
If kept on their own they may be effective. But they’re spread out with Russian cannon fodder divisions, so they literally don’t speak the same language as their commanders.
You’re overthinking it.
Modern fabric dyes are a lot better than 40 years ago. Like, don’t wash something dark the first time with a bunch of white stuff, but after the first wash or two it definitely doesn’t matter
and nobody is “telling people” to do anything.
Literally the title of the post:
We should all agree that Christmas gifts are for kids only.
C’mon…
Doesn’t matter if you want peace or not…
If Israel or Russia wants your land, they’ll claim you’re attacking them and they have to invade your country in defense.
Just this is exhausting, I couldn’t imagine a whole in person holiday
Cool, but that’s not what you’re doing.
You’re complaining people aren’t doing it, be in the change you want to see, but don’t go around telling people they’re doing it wrong.
I mean, just tell your family not to get you anything and spend it on the kids instead.
Lots of families do it that way, you don’t need to convince everyone before you do it, just do it
I never understood why people post their own medium blog posts like it’s a valid article and not the exact same as a myspace post
I mean…
Yeah?
We should also have peace on Earth and good will to all.
But that’s outside the scope of the current discussion.
Which is that while on the surface getting rid of the exception is a good thing, if you know the situation it’s the opposite. Which is why when I see it brought up I clarify.
If the topic was UBI, I’d be saying the same stuff you are.
Hell, I’m a disabled vet. I have free healthcare and my monthly payment is pretty much UBI, since it’s military I can earn as much as I can from employment without worry. I know for a fact how little it takes to drastically improve standard of living and I want everyone to have what I do now.
That’s just outside the scope of the current discussion
Also ostracized…
I literally just blocked another troll before seeing this post, that’s literally ostracizing.
It was a 4 day old account too, so in all likelihood they were ostracized before, it was a negative consequence, and if it continues to happen. Maybe someday they won’t immediately be a troll on a new account.
But if normal people do that, the trolls only get replies from each other and that’s not fun for them.
I say this everytime it comes up:
For someone on disability benefits, they can lose all their benefits by earning a very very small amount of money on a single paycheck.
The exception to minimum wage is so the ones who want to work, can work without losing benefits.
So before we raise their wage, we have to fix how/when the benefits are effected by income.
Personally the fairest way is after something like an extra couple hundred a month, every dollar earned just reduces benefits by a dollar. And if all the benefits are cancelled out, keep them in the system instead of yanking it on the first paycheck. Give them 6-12 months to show they can sustain, and keep a safety net for when things change
It costs per mile/km to build pipe
Yeah but this is America…
Pipelines are so much cheaper than truck, even with massive leaks:

And when it’s bad enough taxpayers bail them out:
The problem is they put profits over everything. I’m not sure where all this misunderstanding is coming from
That’s a “open access” journal specifically for the fossil fuel industry…
https://doaj.org/toc/2190-0566
For $2,190.00 they publish literally fucking anything.
So some industries (like fossil fuels) pay to have a bunch of studies published that all say what they’re doing is necessary and any environmental concerns are completely overblown.
Like…
This behavior isn’t new or rare. But it’s very easy to check.
He acted because he fell for rightwing propaganda…
It doesn’t matter if he “acted alone” when thousand (millions?) of other people are listening to the same people spread the same propaganda. There’s gonna be the same result, it’s a matter of “when” not “if”.
