@JZerro81559@KatlynNicole26 I once set up a greenhouse with a CO2 burner set to 1450ppm. I was nervous we’d need masks/filters to enter, until I learned the extra CO2 was harmless to us. The plants grew twice as fast. As long as we leave the greenery alone, Earth seems to have a natural buffer against it.
@DavosBilderberg@sweatystocks0@PeterSchiff@SenSanders Doesn’t change the math much, doubling the salary of everyone under 60k a year adds around $50billion a year in salary. Payroll tax and retirement match add another $5billion on that. Median salary is 45k. You cut profits by 60-70%, you’ll get 20-40% stock drop, etc etc etc
@Scizzy_Gibbler@sweatystocks0@PeterSchiff@SenSanders Under $150,000?? What Amazon warehouse are you talking about?
The super majority of Amazon employees make about $30,000year.
The few administrators doing the EASY work, definitely do not deserved to be payed 6 figures.
The reality of American life today: Jeff Bezos, worth $290 billion, spent:
$10 million on the Met Gala
$120 million on a penthouse
$500 million on a yacht
Meanwhile, he‘s planning to throw 600,000 Amazon workers out on the streets and replace them with robots.
Unacceptable.
@DavosBilderberg@sweatystocks0@PeterSchiff@SenSanders Not even close to true…
Based on 2026 data, doubling the salary of every Amazon employee earning less than $150,000year would cost well over $70 billion to $100 billion annually.
This scenario would exceed Amazon's annual net income of $77 billion in 2025
@sweatystocks0@PeterSchiff@SenSanders Yeah but what’s that matter if you’re still a disgustingly rich CEO? Bezos could easily keep all those jobs and double every employee’s salary… and his net worth would go from $700 BILLION, down to $699 BILLION.
He wouldn’t even notice.
@Tizull@RL9631 Fair observation. Half the comments say bad parenting without knowing the kids actual circumstances. If we think logically about what shapes children into healthy adults, swear words are near the bottom of the list. That energy would be better spent on things that actually matter
@Tizull@RL9631 I thought this was weird as a kid, and I do as an adult as well. Why do we have a whole subset of language that people regularly use in self expression, that is supposed to be off limits for people of a certain age, or around others. So weird
@Redman2K05@jakerattlesnk Yeah I’d be curious to know what you think is happening with firearms sales as well. My first purchase of a .22 revolver at 18, led to a 2 week delay with an extended background check from the FBI. (as someone with 0 criminal history)
@jakerattlesnk Get the told lad!
BUT American especially still makes it FAR too easy for people to get a hold of a firearm. That's where the problem comes in. Not what but how. It's easier for a minor to get a pistol in some states than it is to get alcohol.
THAT'S a problem.
This lady is freaking out at the bank, stating they won't let her withdraw HER own money.
They called the police to diffuse the situation and it did not calm her down initially. As a deterrent, they cuffed her until she calmed down.
Does the bank have the right to not give you the cash out of your personal account? I get if asking for 10k or more, if their inventory is low. But 5k?
@SinaiLawFirm I was waiting for the borrower to pull a $75,000 loan for a BMW with $1000 down 5 days before closing when they were already near the max DTI 🤣🤣🤣
@elonmusk EVs are the future. But everything I love about cars is gloriously inefficient — 600hp V8, 6-speed manual, sticky tires, and a straight-pipe exhaust you can hear from a mile away. 10mpg never felt so good 🤣
It’ll fade with future generations, I’m sure. Just the nostalgia effect
"How many of you believe there was no pandemic at all?"
"Well, you'd be right according to ex-Pfizer executive Dr. Michael Yeadon."
"He says there's no pandemic and the lie was maintained in order to inject 5.5 billion people with... an intentionally dangerous substance, 17 million of whom have died so far."
@Vladisglad1@thematrixb0t Same, people around me got a mild cold. I got hell, 104 fever, body aches, heart palpitations, started getting a lot of chest pain when I finally paid for a nurse to come give me a shot of monoclonal antibodies which had me about 90% healed in 24 hours. It was not a normal cold!
@thematrixb0t I was sick as hell for 2 weeks, my sister and mother were just as sick as I was. I have never experienced anything like it. It was no flu or cold, fk no! But of course it was used to commit fraud and abuse like nothing else. People were just murdered in the hospitals.
Every single time XRP starts pumping fast, a massive sell off (actually it's a wash trade) on Binance causes a collapse. First allowing shorts to liquidate, then once they are all gone, dump hard, and destroy all the longs, and cause a cataclysmic downturn.
Now you'll see it come back up again.
If this was real retail volume you would see an hourly 41M spike. I've been watching this for almost 3 years now. Same old story.
No one to regulate, ful access to user data, @cz_binance companies have backdoor server access.
#BoycottBinance it's the only way for them to learn.
@modhelius@litteralyme0 If you make it to age 65 in America, men on average will make it to 83 and women to 85, but quite litterally almost half of the 40-59 population is obese, so a huge chunk never make it there due to heart attack, stroke, etc. And if you look at their grocery carts you’ll see why.
@Vincent5327827@MbarkCherguia Crazy right, I just built a cart right now at my local grocery store.
10lbs chicken tenderloin
25lbs rice
10lb redskin potatoes
10lbs frozen vegetables
68oz olive oil
5lbs shredded cheese
48oz sour cream
5 Dozen eggs
$121.30…
Absolute shit junk food….she needs to learn how to cook
How to feed a family for 2 weeks $75
Could have gotten:
5 dozen eggs
5 lbs flour
4 head of cabbage
20lbs potatoes
4 head of iceberg lettuce
4 loaves of bread
16oz Olive oil
8 oz balsamic vinegar
2 gallons milk
2 16 oz bologna
1 Miracle whip
1 breakfast syrup
16 oz American cheese
@MrPitbull07@grok can you give us the latest statistics and educational metrics, showing the difference in educational success between public, private and home school students? Showing basic percentages for things like reading, writing, math, problem solving, etc accross these three options
“This is why public school is a JOKE.
And honestly… I’m concerned for the next generation of kids.
A couple weeks ago, we pulled our kids out of school to take them on vacation.
They’re in 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and kindergarten.
We let the teachers know ahead of time.
Asked for assignments so they wouldn’t fall behind.
Their response?
“Don’t worry about it… we’ll catch them up when they get back.”
No big deal, right?
Except the day we leave… the school district starts hounding us.
Threatening to report us to the county if the kids miss any more days.
Our kids rarely miss school.
Are we seriously not allowed to take them anywhere??
Fast forward: we get back, and my son comes home with a mountain of worksheets.
No explanation.
No instruction.
Just, “Here. Figure it out.”
So he spends hours working through it over the next week.
And I’m looking at this stuff thinking… what the hell is this??
Keep in mind, I’m college-educated and run multiple successful businesses.
And I can’t even make sense of it.
Questions like:
“Sam has 155 clams. Richard gives him 137 peaches. If the cows moo while facing north, how many snow cones does he have?”
What are they even learning in there?
Then — a week later — his teacher messages us:
“He got almost all the answers wrong. He’s now failing English.”
So we reach out. Ask if he can redo the assignments.
Not just for a better grade… but so he can actually learn the material.
Her response?
“No. He can’t redo it.”
We try to work with her. Offer to compromise.
Her answer?
“Maybe you shouldn’t go on vacation.”
I’m done, dude.
Our kids are in ELEMENTARY school.
And this is already the circus we’re dealing with.
I don’t want to homeschool. I never thought I’d even consider it.
But the way this system is run?
It’s starting to look like the better option.
So here’s my honest question:
What are we supposed to do?
Because if this is the best public education can offer…
No wonder kids are falling behind.” ~Mike Wingard
