  • In much the same way that Confederate memorabilia is collectable.

    As in, "You should avoid anyone who collects this shit. They're probably a white nationalist."

  • When you don't know the actual definition of words, you can use them to mean anything.

    Kinda like how they don't know what Marxist, Leninist, socialist, globalist, woke, trans, leftist, liberal, or DEI actually mean, so the right just uses them all interchangeably to mean "things I don't like or that scare me".

  • TIL No Kings Protests were the 3rd Largest in US History

    Jump

  • Because most Americans have knee-jerk reactions to labels as opposed to policies. Like how everyone supports all the protections Obamacare provides, but how they all want to get rid of Obamacare.

  • Millions across US turn out for ‘No Kings’ protests against Donald Trump

    Jump

  • Contrast this with NYT, USA Today, or WaPo, who are downplaying it with headlines that say "thousands" or "tens of thousands" protesting.

  • And we haven't heard much from them in a minute.

    I think you walked right into the point and missed it.

    Why haven't we heard about the Oathkeepers, the 3 Percenters, or the Proud Boys lately?

    Because Trump put them in uniforms.

  • Deficit Between a $35/hr Federal Minimum Wage and Cost of Living of US States

    Jump

  • Thanks for the clarification!

    It probably would have been clearer had that been said. Something like "This map shows how if a person works two jobs, even at $35/hr, for a combined total of 50 hr/week and an annual salary of $91,000, still isn't enough for a family of four in most of the country."

  • Deficit Between a $35/hr Federal Minimum Wage and Cost of Living of US States

    Jump

  • So I'm confused a bit here.

    You've calculated the annual wage as:

    $35/hr * 2080 hr/yr = $72,800

    Okay, that's 40 hours a week. No arguments here. But then you say this:

    Shading is based on affordability when working 10 extra hours per week, paid at $35/hr

    So did you assume that "full-time" is only 30 hours, and that most people don't work 40 hours? Or did you not calculate that "10 extra hours per week" means most people would be working 50 hours which is overtime and paid at 1.5 times base rate?

    1.5 * $35/hr = $52.50/hr

    This would bring the salary up to

    ($35/hr * 2080 hr/yr) + ($52.50/hr * 10hr/wk * 52wk/yr) = $100,100/yr

    Can you clarify this for me?

  • "Contingent" on what, Kegsbreath?

    Greenland making fun of Trump?

    Denmark still refusing to "sell" it?

    Trumpy needing yet another distraction from some stupid shit he's doing he wants to hide?

    You getting cranky from the DTs?
