A sizable chunk of “banned” books were sexually inappropriate for school, and some even promoted pedophilia, so I have some serious concerns if you disagree with their removal.

Households introduce a lot of variables, especially marriage. In some studies it has been shown you seek higher income opportunities than you might individually.[0] This would be my assumption, at least. [0] - https://bigthink.co

Losing over $1.5B of donor (or more accurately, investor) capital does not reflect well when the Trump campaign didn’t even use all of $1B, ran for longer, and won the presidency. Major DNC donors know this and will be less likely to fund f

I’m sorry, what? Which party do you mean? The only parties involved with the collapse of the coalition was the coalition itself, SDP, FDP, and Greens. It was all internal disputes that led to the collapse.

I did indeed misread, however my graph still proves that buying power, a far more important metric than the useless real income, is down across the board. And these mysteries “studies” don’t particularly help anything. Objectively speaking

> No, it's about the same as 2019: Thank you for for the source, this helps my point perfectly. If household income is only just reaching 2019 levels, but food has gone between 100-200% up in price[0], then that means the effective

If it takes 2-3 years, then that means that the economic growth we experienced in ~2021 is Trump’s 2017/19 policies, and the economic downturn we’re receiving in 2024 is due to Biden’s 2021/23 policies. Also, Dems do literally the

The reason people want change is not because they are “irrational” or “fearful”, it is because the people in power have demonstrated their inability to lead in every capacity. In Germany the government has literally collapsed due to the for

It’s already happened, for instance there are multiple blocklists that try to remove as many furries as possible (which personally is a benefit, although you may think differently). We also have more political ones, mostly anti-“right wing”

It depends on the internal infrastructure for electoral votes and real-time access of official data. If it’s been set up for a while and a few switches need flipped then it’s likely readers won’t notice. If however the system needs to be ch

Teachers make a fair salary. It’s a degreed position with ~100 days PTO annually, so when you account for that the benefits actually outweigh most degreed positions. One could argue the ceiling is closer, particularly for primary education,

Because most people who “care” about politics like this are radicalized due to their bubble. Add in a fair mix of a lack of civics classes and inexperience with politics and you get very loud people with no idea what’s going on.

First off, great job misrepresenting my point! Secondly, let me ask you this: did you spend the money on the app? I’m going to assume no, just for the sake of argument, since obviously you’ve bought it and will pay for many years to come si

Seasoning cast iron has been rather easy, and you can get preseasoned pans as well. My method is: scrub a new (unseasoned) pan well with hot water and a brillo pad, being sure to thoroughly get into any grooves. This is to remove the wax co

It’s similar to climate scares, a decade ago people were saying that various coastal cities would be underwater by now and they aren’t even close. It’s alarmist propaganda from bored people. Sure, the climate is important, just as PFAS and
