@wnwaggoner @chriswithans I actually have a better solution, retard, and that would be to stop asking rich people to pay into social security. I don't need your safety net, and I certainty don't want your filthy food stamps. Fuck off.

@chriswithans You’ve found the solution. Cap the millionaire couple’s social security at 100k/yr, then any raises they “lose out on” in the future, make available to them in bonus food stamps as long as they meet the regular asset and income tests of that program and aren’t “able-bodied!”

They're obsessed over about one million people getting slightly more than $50,000 a year in annual payments in 2026 dollars. Even if you confiscated their entire benefits, that's just about $50 billion a year. We spend $120 billion on SNAP, and much of that includes people who are noncitizens and well as people who are able-bodied and working age who simply choose not to work.
The top 20% already pay ~85% of federal income taxes. The only benefit they actually receive is Social Security starting at age 67, and that comes at a cost of 12.4% of their income for their entire working lives (even past 67 if they choose to work).

Some of America's wealthiest couples are collecting $100,000 in Social Security benefits — a six-figure payout that a new proposal says should be capped to help the retirement program avoid insolvency in 2032. cbsn.ws/47l2FNj

@KONRADJW @TmAlberto They sell these at Costco for 1200. He could have 30 more tomorrow afternoon if he wants them. Get better, polizei.

For those of you who don't understand, it's about supply, logistics and other customers.
If he doesn't get a new wheel for another month (because he typically sells pieces to his customers) and the wheel lasts a month+, then him selling it now means a month of disappointed customers.
Maybe he can get another wheel, maybe he can't.
Is it worth disappointing so many customers that may go elsewhere for their parmesan?
Maybe I'm wrong and owner could have had another one that afternoon, but not everything is worth sacrificing to make the one sale.

There are 3 supremely important factors that determine if your food will be overpriced:
1. Owned by Private Equity or Publicly traded corporation
2. Predominantly frequented by people below 27 years old.
3. Accepts EBT.
If any 2 of these 3 are checked, prepare to pucker your ass.

A burrito bowl and shitty service at chipotle is now $20.

@krishnanrohit They're stupid, which is worse than ignorant. You can't cite historical data because they don't care about historical data. The people who tried back then, or over there, aren't us. "WE" can do it right.

@Critical_Scribe It's out of control labor groups. Quite famously production teams would be worked to death to meet deadlines. That is no longer the case. The social activist groups that now staff filming, lighting, costuming, etc. are about 30% as productive as a group 15 years ago was.
English
No but really, the hell is going on with production times nowadays?
We could pump out 22 episodes a year before and now we can barely manage 8 every 2-3?

The HARRY POTTER TV series won't have one season a year "For some of the bigger shows like Harry Potter, huge world-building shows, it would be nice to have those on an annual basis. But from a production point of view, it’s just not possible." - Casey Bloys

Israel's intelligence gathering capability within Iran is greater than the US' abilities according to non-retarded (Kiriakou...) CIA analysts. Trump is probably more concerned for the loss of civilian life that would result than Netanyahu is. 400-500,000 dead is not something Trump will co-sign.

The problem is that Nikita Bier and the X team are too stupid to realize that they could avoid punishing non-political, legitimate accounts with organic US engagement by limiting the monetization changes to posts (and accounts) which engage in political discussion >5% of the time.

Letting users region block doesn’t fix anything. Because most users won’t do it. If you want to fix the discourse, you have to change the incentives at the platform level. Which the new monetization scheme would’ve done, before Elon walked it back.

This miscast of Snape in Harry Potter is a good example of race swapping changing an entire story. If Snape is Black, despite books saying he’s White, then Harry is now suspicious that the only Black teacher at Hogwarts is stealing and his Dad bullied a Black kid by hanging him. This seems like a major story change to introduce the idea of racism, and it strays from the source material. 🥴

This is from a gas station in Phoenix yesterday: $6.49 for a gallon of gas. All because Trump started war with no plan and no idea how it would affect everyday Americans.
I'm fighting to suspend the federal gas tax to bring families some relief, but what they really need is a president focused on lowering their costs.

What retard got a job that only has guaranteed income for 2 years then used that $174,000 to buy a house they can't afford if they go unpaid for 1 month? These fucking idiots need to be thrown in cobalt mines, and anyone who isn't already independently financially secure barted from public office.

>liberal economic petrodollar
Once you escape the liberal framework your brain analyzes everything through and realize that absolutely nothing the Departments of State, Commerce and Treasury are doing reinforces "liberal global economics" THEN you'll actually understand what's going on.
You're not in the age of Liberaldom, anymore. Welcome to Empire. Better brush up on imperial economics sooner rather than later, beanie.

At least for me, however, I did expect functional retards to view fact statements as advocacy
