@Beno10_MFC Ok this is not a high IQ question. A=10 B=5 A+B*C=50 C = (50-A)/B = (50-10)/5=40/5=8

Only the smartest nearly got the value of C. It requires top level IQ Can you solve?

@JohnNNJ @Dedicata @MatrixMysteries How exactly is takeout cheaper?

@Dedicata @MatrixMysteries One reason is highly processed food is many times cheaper.

“If it wasn't for SNAP benefits, me and my children would STARVE.” Woman who works for an American school district says she will starve without EBT food stamp payments.

@Lydskia @NVPatriot79 @Dedicata @MatrixMysteries And less healthy, then medicaid has to pay for the medical bills

@NVPatriot79 @Dedicata @MatrixMysteries Or…you don’t splurge and get convenience shit because it’s cheaper…

@Dedicata @MatrixMysteries And then we pay for the resulting medical bills. But if you try to ban soda from SNAP we're heartless

@MatrixMysteries Why are so many of these SNAP protests brought forward by morbidly obese women? Not fat shaming but. Really ... whichever activist funding organization is paying them might consider optics.

@dartinguphill Must be California

filled up the Silverado. I'm quite sick to my stomach now @ $7.39 per gallon

@MasterMaliq So what's up with the satanic verses? I understand satan tricked him, but that shouldn't be possible when you have a direct line to god

My greatest FLEX as a Muslim? I don’t need ANY middleman to connect with Allah. I don’t pray in the name of Muhammad or any dead human. My God doesn’t require an intermediary. He’s closer to me than my jugular vein. Any “god” that needs a human broker to reach you? Sorry, that’s not God. That’s just another idol with extra steps.

@spiderstumbled @StatisticUrban She saves 2k a month, that's nice equity

@StatisticUrban You have to account for the fact that he is building up equity in the house while she is not. $1K a month is extremely reasonable though. Merely splitting the utilities is like saying, "I will go Dutch on the air conditioning, but you will provide me shelter."

I've always thought it's usually fairest to break it out such that it's the exact same proportion their income for both parters after-tax. E.g. if X makes 200k, and Y makes 100k, X pays 66.6% and Y 33.3%, and rent is 2000, X pays $1,333 and Y $667.

@Tyarchak @spinfisher And paying 10-20% of the population with taxes collected from the other 80% is not promoting the "general" welfare

@spinfisher @patternote No where in the constitution does it say the governments job to help us. Defense is about the only power the constitution gives the government.

If the US eliminated defense spending except for basic defense, the US would pay off its 31 trillion dollars debt in the time of a typical home mortgage.

I'm also pro worker, but feeding you unrealistic fantasies doesn't make workers better off. I'm a worker myself. Bernie is envious and uses you to carry his agenda. you just want a decent paycheck. The best way to get that is by making yourself indispensable or at least very useful. I worked for $15/h for a decade Before i accumulated enough skill to make more. Opportunities are plentiful if you bring value (defined as what others are willing to pay for)

@patternote @TruthHurtsDemz @em_Lazzy Bernie isnt the source of pro worker sentiment. Hes just left of a regular dem. And "envy" is poor theory of mind when it comes to contending with the contradictions of capital.

The fact we are going to have our first trillionaire before everyone has access to clean drinking water is proof our current system is not for the greater good but for the greedy.

Labor is only 1 input to value. For starters, if you worked for yourself, you would have to find your own clients and you wouldn't be guaranteed full time pay. Also the entity that organizes labor can profit from the surplus the organization of labor creates. If you have 2 employees A and B, their combined output is not just A + B, but also proportional to A*B, and the person who brought A and B together profits from A*B, while A and B get paid for their inherent values of A and B. A doctor doesn't work 10x harder than a Warehouse worker, yet makes 10x as much. Because skill matters, not just how hard you work. If you bring capital, infrastructure, a business strategy, the employee can't say they produced all the value. They wouldn't even have a job without what the employer brings to the table. Now you may have an argument if they underpay, but many large corporations pay very generously, and 10s of millions of Americans are invested in them. If poor people got to keep their whole paycheck, they would be able to invest in those corps too.

@patternote @TruthHurtsDemz @em_Lazzy Workers bring product and service into fruition through labor. Thats how value is generated. Jobs companies and profits exist without parasitic leeches profiting off of the labor mass without doing proportionate work. Unless you believe they do enough labor to make millions a day

@RoKhanna Where was this energy when we forced everyone to take vaccines?

Under no circumstances can women’s body autonomy be up for debate. This decision was purely political, and not rooted in any science or support for women’s reproductive health. The Democratic Party must use every lever of power at our disposal to protect women and provide resources for those seeking access to abortions.

@redpillb0t That can only happen if you pay less than the monthly interest

An American takes out a $28,000 student loan. After 16 years and $38,000 paid, her balance is $58,000. $68,000 is PURE interest. She'll pay nearly $100,000 for a $28,000 education. This isn't "education financing" — it's usury.

@SenWarren All they did was block it from being sent across state lines via telemedicine, as it's illegal in some states. There is no right to abortion, just like there is no right for men to abandon their children on a oopsie

BREAKING: A conservative court packed with Trump-appointed judges just ruled to ROLL BACK access to the abortion pill. This is a page straight out of extremist Republicans’ anti-abortion playbook. Let me be clear: the abortion pill is safe and effective. We must fight back.

@StablersHeir @daviddashcoby But she is interested in saving 3000 while establishing residency in his house while obviously not liking him.

@patternote @daviddashcoby She wouldn't be questioning it given her commute time and monetary savings. Her desire to live with him does not supercede those savings. Which makes it pretty obvious she's not that interested in living w him.

The amount of people who are like “he should let that woman move in for free” is staggering. Are you all ok?

@StablersHeir @daviddashcoby How is that obvious if it was a mutual discussion? Thanks for confirming the obvious

@patternote @daviddashcoby It's kinda obvious she didn't ask him to live there. And great I'm glad you've concluded correctly about my thoughts on men.

@StablersHeir @daviddashcoby They talked about moving in, doesn't say he asked her to move in. But it's pretty clear how you see men. Yikes

@patternote @daviddashcoby He asked her, she didn't ask him. Clearly it's something he desires, not her. Sounds like he doesn't really love her if he wants her money - see how easily you can twist things?

@Lurk24k @TruthHurtsDemz @em_Lazzy You listen to Bernie too much. He's a loser filled with envy

@patternote @TruthHurtsDemz @em_Lazzy And I do not buy it. Our healthcare system exists solely for profit. Which is why out stat outcomes are along the lowest of all developed nations. While we pay the most. And our citizens have the most medical debt.

What do you think those contacts are? Charity? He provides satellites for the US military, ofc they are big contracts. Employees are not the only ones who generate value, and i say that as an employee. Labor gets paid to do tasks, they don't get to claim all the downstream value after getting paid generous salaries. No profit, no companies, no jobs.

@patternote @TruthHurtsDemz @em_Lazzy No. He gets money mostly from gov taxpayer funded contracts. The biggest welfare receptient in the country. Secondly his employees generate the products and labor that generate any profit. Throwing money at things isnt "proving useful services". Dig deeper. Labor does that.

@_wej01 Yes, and I'm a huge coffee drinker

You receive $2,000 a week for life, but you can never drink coffee/redbull again. Would you take the deal?????

@StablersHeir @daviddashcoby Why live with a man who is "in her face"? If we're so horrible why try to live with us for free? Doesn't sound like love, but utility

@daviddashcoby To have her own shit & not need to clean up after a man & have him in your face all day everyday. It's so funny it's only men who don't understand why we would prefer to pay $$$$ to live alone than save & live w a man.
