"Street value" per gram goes down significantly as the weight of the transaction goes up. If someone has 100 pounds of weed the cops go by the absolute highest street price for the absolute smallest unit sizes (~$20/g) and ca

What? Fentanyl is so so so much cheaper and 100% does get added to heroin all the time. It also gets added, to a lesser extent, to meth, coke, fake xanax pills, ketamine, etc. Especially in many places in the US, it's actually hard to

I never said they didn't... The point is they don't have to hand over a majority of their income to pay someone else's mortgage. Even if home prices stagnate in their area and they can't sell for years, they get to keep

I mean sure, and some "workers" make 500k/year, but these are obviously exceptions to the rule when we've established that California homeowners made more money in equity on average than workers made in income. Also pret

Sure but the point is these already wealthy people gain all this wealth for doing literally nothing, while the people who slave away and actually keep the economy going work hard all year for much, much less. And then of course workers end

I urge you to look into Krystle's story more. She's an absolutely vile person who participated in the torture and attempted murder of her boyfriend, Brandon Green. https://thislandpress.com/2013/07/28&#x2

Parent comment says "strippers or escort" (sp). Escort is a nice/legal term for a prostitute. "Strippers" (they're typically called dancers actually) also fall under the umbrella term "sex worker" tho

Live music industry is also bigger than it's ever been. Obviously not so much this year but booking fees for big artists run into the millions. They also get paid to feature in other peoples' music/content, and then again for

Uh or just be a friendly, sociable person with at least something to offer. I'm also confused why you would need to use Tinder to find sex workers online, I'm sure there are plenty on there but why not just go on like Twitter?

Well sure if you look at income alone and disregard cost of living. 32k is barely enough to live on here in CA (yet somehow I survive on well under half that). At min wage you have to work hard for at least 40 hrs/wk to make 32k, and t

I mean I'm seeing stuff about the velocity of the dollar being affected and causing inflation but I don't even really see it increasing that much when people are so strapped for cash already. The idea that businesses will raise pr

Well yeah that's survivorship bias, many Americans die every day from direct results of poverty. Most Americans I know barely have their needs met, I've lost many friends to suicide and drug overdoses etc. Of course there are pl

Oh yeah any interruption in Tesla's notoriously smooth repair process would totally cripple the state for sure. What with all the critical services reliant on ... checks notes ... luxury electric sports cars.

Or maybe, just maybe, people face different struggles and adversity that prevent/delay them from "rising above" the level of working service jobs (which someone still needs to do btw, and those people deserve to live. I see t

Because the people who need/would benefit aren't paying anything remotely near 1k/month in taxes, that's the whole point. Your solution only works in a society where people already have a reasonable amount of income.

It's obviously torture. If you've ever spent one night in a holding cell/mental health hospital situation you know it's absolutely 100% inhumane. It's only nazis who've never been in that situation who think li

with GTA i imagine there's also the consideration that these brands don't want their cars to be seen used in drive-by's and robberies. if they're sensitive enough to not want to see cars damaged they'd prob have a p

They're not uncommon at all. Surprised to see people in the comments here surprised to learn about them. Might be uncommon in other countries but it's pretty normal in the US.
