Kinda looks like an older kiefer sutherland

Bye ,

But on npr this morning they said wage growth has outpaced inflation

Bye ,

You guys are sad all the time???

Bye ,

No I’m killing it. I have a dog and she loves me, and my partner and I have a wonderful life together.

Bye ,

Can we do mandatory civil service instead

Like that would actually help people, building infrastructure, national parks, gaining skills and trades, maybe helping reduce obesity

Bye ,

Someone explain to me how this would benefit the rich. The rich don’t pay income tax.

Bye ,

Tax cuts for the rich are capital gains tax cuts and corporate tax cuts.

Income tax cuts don’t impact them, broadly.

Bye ,

The truly rich would be fine. They don’t pay income tax, they live off of capital gains.

That’s just punishing people at the top of the working class. Doctors, lawyers, etc.

Bye ,

It’s in New York??? I thought it was a Detroit thing. Then why do we have Coney Island hot dogs??

Bye ,

Kind of

I thought Gotham city in Batman is supposed to be Detroit

Bye ,

Honestly I can’t believe it’s taken them this long.

I will 100% quit using YouTube when I start seeing ads again.

Bye ,

Basically none of us should be paying taxes until people with net worths above 50 million dollars pay theirs.

Bye ,

Just fucking sink them

Bye ,

How are they going to know it wasn’t Ukraine

Bye ,

Founded by ILLEGAL immigrants

Bye ,

Nothing, it seems close enough to most that they actually can’t think about it any other way apart from human.

Bye ,

When I retire I want to hike and camp, cook really nice meals, grow a garden, and make hot rods.

Bye ,

Why is the right becoming more popular? What changed?

Bye ,

Is this because they waited too long, or because the answer is something other than anti-immigrant sentiment?

For example, there’s this statistic that almost everyone dies shortly after having CPR performed on them. Paradoxically, that doesn’t mean CPR is bad: it absolutely saves lives. It’s just that they do it too late on a lot of people (and also perform it on a bunch of people who are going to die no matter what but that’s not the point of this anecdote).

Bye ,

No. In the US at least, wages are up for blue collar work, and that’s where the economy was most vulnerable. Inflation has been bad but it’s coming back under control and wages can outpace it in the next couple years, median wage growth already has (yes I have a hard time believing this too, but that’s the numbers).

The last financial crisis had a flagrant cause in default-prone loans. There isn’t such a problem right now.

The largest crisis we are running into is a crisis of propaganda, where people are being told “everything is terrible” when in fact the numbers show that everything is pretty great… except for white collar tech workers (me!).

I think the tech market will rebound the second that the fed lowers rates again, because tech is fundamentally capital intensive and speculative. So you need cheap money to fuel tech. Video games deflated/corrected a bit but that’s fine, those people can work on other things.

Bye ,

Why is being a landlord any different than owning some other commodity to make money? Like if I bought shares of a company that pay a dividend. Or I bought a car and rented it out. Or buying land and selling tangerines I grew on it

Bye ,

Good

Bye ,

Not totally true because my sierra 2500 has cameras in the front, shows you what’s immediately ahead if you’re going less than 15 mph or so. Beeps like crazy and vibrates your asshole if there’s something in front.

Bye ,

Or the Ukrainians defending their homes

Bye ,

Which will also mean a renaissance for classic vehicles for EV conversions. Currently the EV market is too small to really support them, but as EVs start hitting junkyards, it will become a big deal.

Bye ,

Picking up my shit and moving to the EU, maybe northern Spain. I have zero idea how to buy housing there (I’m a citizen though) but a bit of uncertainty is better than the alternative.

Bye ,

You shouldn’t be surprised.

People who work declining agriculture and heavy industry jobs want easy solutions. Republicans promise them easy solutions (tarrifs, bring the jobs back, stop immigration). Democrats bring up difficult things (retraining, actually nothing else).

So of course they want the easy solution. Who wouldn’t (doesn’t matter if it will work or not, the hard one sounds too hard for them).

Dems need to find easy solutions to get those people on board, otherwise they are screwed. Biden has started doing this by embracing tariffs on China (which are not working, but are VERY popular among the people they are slightly hurting).

Bye ,

Thanks for the explanation.

Bye ,

Because of environmental and labor cost differences.

Chinese companies can pay lower wages and pollute more freely compared to US and European companies. So a tariff offsets those advantages.

Bye ,

What is skibidy

Bye ,

I agree with the post. I don’t want game night to be a second job or a mental investment. I just want to show up and play something. And I don’t want to grind away figuring out how to play optimally, or wait for others to do so. I just want to dungeon crawl and hit things with my sword and do some light occasional RP.

Bye ,

Glyphosate is an herbicide, not a pesticide.

BT plants would have greatly reduced the need for pesticides, but we somehow decided gmos were bad

Bye ,

RON STOP

Bye ,

Yeah I can’t believe it. We are “mountain west” (as opposed to pacific west).

Bye ,

Yes basically everywhere.

Bye ,

She said anal, maybe she is a virgin

Bye ,

Would love to have a sodium house battery. It could be as large as it needs to be, and buried in the backyard.

Bye ,

This is some Fox News shit, she had a bad dog that bit people and shot it, big deal. That’s how life is in the country. This seems like sensationalistic garbage to get clicks. M

Talk about the actual issues. Talk about how these fascists are trying to take over the fucking country. Talk about how they are trying to enslave women’s bodies. Or roll back rights for sexual minorities. Etc etc etc.

The new class war: A wealth gap between millennials ( www.cnbc.com )

There may be another factor creating so much wealth among millennials: inheritances. In what’s known as “the great wealth transfer,” baby boomers are expected to pass down between $70 trillion and $90 trillion in wealth over the next 20 years. Much of that is expected to go to their millennial children. High-net-worth...

Bye ,

The “aspirational spending” is real. It’s all over. It’s why you can finance just about everything on Amazon these days.

Bye ,

He is as anti Israel as he can be. Usually anything less than full throated support would lose the election for a candidate of either party. And he’s still managed to condemn them a little bit, and is building a pier for aid delivery to Palestinians so fucking hmas can’t steal their aid. Like there really isn’t much more you can ask of a us politician without basically asking them to forfeit the election.

Bye ,

Have people been doing hard things for millennia, or

A) people overstate how difficult a task was and through the lens of history we think it was actually difficult, or

B) they literally enslaved or conscripted people into doing the hard work , or

C) each individual contributor actually felt like they had a stake in tackling the difficult problem, instead of our current tragedy of the commons where it’s far easier and cheaper for individuals to act as though there’s no issue

Bye ,

It took about a decade to undo the conditioning I gained in college and grad school to wake up every day at noon. Now, ten years later in my early 40s, I’m able to wake up at 10 am.

Bye ,

datums

Come on Randall 🫠

Bye ,

It probably is though.

Bye ,

Wyoming and Montana have absolutely amazing mountains. I say that as someone who lives in the third best mountains state. They have mountains as good as ours but without as many people in them.

Alaska is simply amazing, one of the best places I’ve ever been in the summer. I can’t wait to go again.

Otherwise nah fuck that shit

Bye ,

Supporting the genocide probably helps him in the polls.

The broken housing market is merging with America’s polarized political culture ( fortune.com )

It’s no secret that America is an increasingly polarized nation. It stands to follow that our places of residence would also be divided. But instead of a donkey and an elephant, the new emblems of each party might as well be an unowned apartment in a big city and a home in the suburbs. Just consider what Aziz Sunderji has...

Bye ,

Same and I wouldn’t either.

I think this is just some more urban rural divide stuff. It’s a lot easier to be a homeowner in rural places, since cities have much more expensive real estate and renting is more common. So rural people are more likely to be republicans and urban people are more likely not to be.

Bye ,

They, like most other people in the world, had slavery, genocide, theft, the death penalty, and all sorts of other bad things. None of this excuses colonialism, at all. But to pretend that native peoples were some kind of wonderful noble savages is very very racist in and of itself. Even this comment is fairly racist because I just implied some kind of homogenous culture in North American indigenous peoples, which was obviously not the case.
