Let’s not call it a raise, but rather an adjustment. A raise would imply you got something of greater value than you had. Inflation by definition means the value of what you had is now lower than it was.

It can’t be a number. These types will just raise prices so $25 is the new $15. Instead the gap needs to be a percentage including bonuses, stocks, health insurance coverage, …and any other form of compensation. This would mean even business owners or s corp splitters, loan takers against investments, business worth, etc are all taxed fairly and evenly. It would also mean they can’t artificial lower their income for tax reasons or for keeping bottom wages low. Additionally cost of living should be factored in such that the median or average value of goods is evaluated by a non biased third party that changes the undisclosed goods for calculating the CoL just so corporations cannot game this.

If you have nothing to hide why do you have blinds at home?

Not really worth the cost. Often times cheaper to buy a pixel and install graphene. Better security too. Just leave off Google play services and it’s analogs. Basically a dumb phone at that point.

Not the same Jesus

Monopoly over me not paying for their stuff? I guess. Seems more like not supporting them to me. If they errode my choice then I make the only choice that gives me agency. I don’t give them my money.

I guess at a certain point I just stop using electronics.

Finally a poll that he would win by a landslide

Well here’s to hoping they grow a spine after August 2nd when it’s too late for a special election that they can appoint a temp person or better yet force them to reveal his status to remain in the run.

Not in Kentucky. It used to be that way but as soon as a democratic governor was appointed they removed that option, and can only have a special election after they have been declared dead and some other steps.

I don’t want to support his pun, but here’s an upvote

Let’s be honest here the only reason he stopped was because of the PR. The rhetoric and statements they have made they were more than willing to do this because they hate people unlike them. They were only tricked in the way that the threat was overblown by Israel. The rest was on them.

I have never been so conflicted in my life

ebikes are vehicles in the same way that motorcycles are as in they are not exclusively human powered. They belong in the normal lanes with the other non human powered vehicles. It’s dangerous to riders in the bike lane legally when ebikes and other vehicles are whipping around because they want to skip the line. According to NYC law you are only allowed 750 watts max and 15mph limit to use the bike lane. They really need to revisit that because these are not safe to others in the lane.

If this was the case where we have to adheree strictly to the definition of capitalism then what the US has is no more a capitalistic society than say the Nordic nations. We have a hybrid approach to capitalism in the same way that we have to a democratic Republic and not a democracy. The Nordic nations employ a form of capitalism called welfare capitalism. They have the fallback that OP was asking about and is still capitalism. The US has social programs so therefore is not pure capitalism. Full stop. Why not slide the gradient a little more?

You mean universal billionaire income right? Think of the poor billionaires.

I wanna be that rich one day
