Prefacing that I disagree heavily with the US actions under this admin and a lot with previous admins. These ideals were always hollow. There is no law between sovereign entities, only martial might and political game theory tactics. It’s w

The caverns the oil are stored in are old salt mines that were repurposed but that means the walls and pillars are made of salt. They pump water into the caverns to float the oil to the top when they extract it. The water itself already dis

Doubt there’s a year. They’re currently draining it down to like 270-280ish million barrels. Which is breaking the integrity of the caverns and they can’t actually drain it completely it needs something like 100ish million barrels at minimu

It’s reminiscent of the screeching about how single payer healthcare would have death panels deciding who lived or died like that’s not a word for word description of insurance company actuaries or financial employees making the same decisi

I would never have had healthcare as an adult without the ACA due to an illness as a child that was expensive enough that I’m sure some insurance exec was only able to get a 26 foot yacht instead of a 30 footer. It was a great success for p

Ah, I wondered what was going to be the terrible reason that people in the admin like Vance were arguing that the US should stop being the world’s reserve currency. I guess they want to swap it for currency they control.

We all can be manipulated. I realized after looking at my response that the “ that’s not pushing the boundary, it’s comfortably past it.” snippet of my statement made me sound like an llm

Ambling refers to walking into a situation casually. If you think you can amble into being a billionaire in our environment then you’re conceding that capitalism as a system has broken down in the US because there’s no way to casually come

by lovich 2mo ago
Come on man. No one is ambling into being a billionaire. There’s a little under 1000 billionaires in the US and the population is estimated at over 349 million. Rounding the billionaires up and the population down to those round numbers and

I replied to this paragraph that was a subset from your original post > If you spread $1 billion evenly among two million workers, that's about $500 per employee per year. That is roughly 25 cents an hour for a full-time worker. Pay

I’m sorry, was your problem with the implementation of a theoretical lowering of profits for McDonald’s that would result in $500 per employee or your original argument I responded to implying that $500 per employee was immaterial? I want t

That’s also why they have you pull out of the drive thru to one of the waiting zones even if there’s no one in line behind you. It lowers their “time in drive thru” metric and I guess they aren’t currently measuring time waiting in a parkin

by lovich 2mo ago
The average American, which McDonald’s workers are on the low end side, can’t handle a 500 dollar emergency. 500 dollars a year to every worker would make a material difference in most of their lives.

How are you deducting the taxes without a legal entity? Or did you just mean that they would be tax deductible but not that you are necessarily deducting anything.
