NORWAY 🇳🇴 made a poll asking: what is the biggest threat to world peace?
75% answered USA 🇺🇸
2 year ago 90% answered russia.
Good luck with the Nobel Peace Prize - which is awarded by Norwegians 🤣
@UziCryptoo Ummm... Yeah... We did. At least I did. BS in Math AS in CS. Grades were average. Got a job out of college... Not a great one. Didn't know if I could afford tank of gas. Got a 2nd job. Found a new career path,2 kids we put through cl... 30yrs later... About to retire
Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.”
No, you didn’t.
You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs.
You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security.
Gen Z isn’t dramatic.
They’re drowning.
@DerrickEvans4WV In Indiana, an e-bike becomes a motor vehicle (specifically a motorized bicycle or motor-driven cycle) requiring registration and insurance if it exceeds 750 watts or has a maximum assisted speed higher than 28 mph. If it meets these criteria, it is no longer considered a bicycle
Who the heck has the right of way in this situation?
I live out in the country so my head automatically goes to the vehicle having the right of way.
As fast as this e-bike is going it should have just been on the road & treated as a motorcycle.
It’s insane how Europe absolutely smashing the United States in the Olympic medal competition. Look at this:
Europe🇪🇺
- 57 Gold🥇
- 49 silver🥈
- 39 bronze 🥉
United States🇺🇸
- 6 gold🥇
- 9 silver🥈
- 5 bronze🥉
Today’s CPI data shows that inflation is still higher than when Trump launched his trade war.
And annual inflation on groceries and utilities are up from a year ago—hitting families hard.
Donald Trump has raised costs for families despite his promise to lower them on “day one.”
@unusual_whales Define "modest"? Graduating college in 1992, I had to have a roommate to afford an apartment IN THE AREA I WISHED TO LIVE. I could've worked a 2nd job, gone to a different area/commuted or lived in a studio apt like one of my friends did after graduation
There are currently no states in the U.S. where a full-time worker earning the minimum wage can afford a modest two-bedroom apartment, per the National Low Income Housing Coalition
@FinancialPhys@unusual_whales Ummm ... No. According to BLS $1.60 in 1971 has the same buying power as $13.03. Roughly $520/week currently. You seem to be make some bizarre investment assumptions as we did not get paid in gold and price of gold was fixed for much if 1971. Deliberately misleading
@unusual_whales 1971 minimum wage was $1.60 per hour, 1.83 oz of gold per week if working 40 hours
Today that’s $8436 per week
Federal nationwide minimum wage would need to be $210.00 per hour
to equal the spending power of a 15yo kid at his first job in June 1971
@EdKrassen We are ten 9 days into the year... These statistics or any inference from a 9 day sample is ridiculous. The sample size makes the data useless. What is the percentage for the last year? Last 5 years? Etc... 9 days is not a trend
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey just brought the facts to the table in his condemnation of ICE.
"Let me give you a statistic. 50% of the shootings that have happened in Minneapolis thus far this year have been ICE. In other words, we've only had two shootings. One of them has been ICE."
@RepMikeLevin Can you share your past statements regarding pardoning family members and pre-emptive pardons? (And I don't disagree with a need to examine the pardon process and limits)
The presidential pardon system is broken.
Right now, there are no meaningful checks on the President’s pardon power. That makes it ripe for abuse, and it’s a threat to the rule of law.
That’s why I support a constitutional amendment to put commonsense limits in place: no self-pardons, no pardons for family, administration officials, or campaign staff, and no pardons for anyone whose crimes were committed to benefit the President or those closest to them — or carried out at a President’s direction.
It is time to protect the Constitution and the rule of law with common sense limits that restore public trust.
Effective tomorrow, Republicans will have increased health insurance premiums for millions of Americans.
They failed to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies and they cut Medicare & Medicaid.
When Congress returns, Democrats will keep relentlessly fighting for healthcare.
@AbdulElSayed Why billionaires? Why not millionaires? Why not people with net worth over $100k? Therein lies the problem. The line may sound great... Until it applies to you and as Thatcher said... "You always run out of other people's money"
