> Yeah, because the US raising their minimum wage was the only significant thing to affect the World economy the last three years. /s We didn't increase minimum wage, nor did I imply that.. Do you think wages aren't correl

No, that its not an issue of shear dollars its an issue of prices being targeted toward the people that make the least.

Remember when there was debate over $15 dollar minimum wage and people arguing against it said that would just increase inflation? Well entry level low skill jobs pay over $15 dollars an hour and now we have inflation.

I read this as "people are too dumb to know whats right and wrong". If you don't agree with something that is said, use your speech to argue against it, sorry you won't be able to shutdown others you disagree with.

IANAL (also judging by what you said you aren't either) But that doesn't look to mean what you say it means [0]. [0] https://www.thefederalcriminalattorneys.com/convey-false-inf...

The poison pill was likely a defensive manuever to allow them time to evaluate their options.

Ok well I'm going to remain on topic to your original (now obviously rhetorical) question. The article was not propaganda. It was disproving Biden's previous statement that he “never spoken to my son about his overseas business de

Do you honestly think it was ok to stop the spread of the hunter biden story and suspend people for spreading it?

Why does everyone use child porn as an argument against freedom of speech? Child porn is legally required to be taken down per section 230.

I wonder what the pause in student loans has done to contribute toward inflation? I would be paying 200 dollars a month right now, but no way I'm paying 0% interest loans that may get partially forgiven one day.

Can someone explain the charitable donations deduction thing? I get the art appraisal example of getting it appraised more than its worth and getting a deduction for it. But assuming a person isn't doing that, how are charitable deduct

The month over month was 1.2% though? And .3% month over month is 4% annualized because of compounding. and 1.2% is 15% annualized inflation so not slowing at all. edit: my bad 3.66% my calculator rounded to 4.

Do people feel that the lockdown is justified? I saw the start of a paywalled WSJ article saying that there are 130k reported cases and no deaths? I don't believe them on the deaths part but if thats the information from the government

The problem was that the engineers were building a scalable infrastructure rather than a scalable business. from the article: "The average volume of Fast customers was low because most customers were from small businesses. And yet, eve

Well they did have a shelter area. My point was the people that followed the tragedy with horrible tornado advice in order to score political points.

by weezin 5y ago
The amount of people that don't know what you are suppose to do during a tornado is mind boggling...

The percentage of people making that amount of money is still pretty low. I'm more worried about what happens when those people making 300-400k a year automate those jobs. As far as sustainability, cost of living will be consistent wit

I don't really get your point, I wouldn't call it a dismissal. Not all areas of white poverty were once "vibrant".

The interesting thing is that for them that makes sense, the poor people are not white on the coast, but for the "fly over states" there is a ton of poor white people with drug addictions and poor education.

This would have been a dire threat a couple years ago, but thanks to Spacex we no longer solely rely on Russia for space missions.

It is kind of refreshing seeing someone actually sacrifice something for what they believe in. Whether you agree or not.

Governments have more money than god and are horrible at efficiency.

Yes, this headline is really misleading. You could argue the gap widened a bit after the mandate, but that is probably more a factor of behavior/vaccination rate compounding than masking. This is anything but conclusive about mask.

> I mean, there are Zero Covid strategies that work, see China or New Zealand. Are we really trusting China's data? They still have less than 100k cases reported. That makes zero sense from what we've seen from other countries.

Its funny because Lambda School sent me (alumni) a test recently which was basically a wonderlic test.

by weezin 5y ago
Lambda School was great for me. You get out of it what you put into it. Why are there never stories like these about specific university programs with higher opportunity cost and financial cost?
