Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.
They claim $100 B in ‘losses’ to this kind of game. Unless they’re actually running red on their books what they really mean is ‘we think we should make at least $100 B more per year’.
I’m sure that the vast majority of that would go directly to the front of house employees they’re pinning this on too, definitely not to the execs and share holders…
This may be the most soft-slap low key form of war protest in history…
Actually I didn’t specify when. The measure of if a wage is livable is going to vary greatly based on where you are of course. Around here one of the larger employers handing out ‘just basic work’ level jobs starts off at around $40K which is roughly a $10K increase over the last few years according to their persistent hiring sign and it’s regarded locally as being decent pay.
Some very rough math would say that if you made $75K and took home say 60% of that after tax and insurance you would make about 3,750 a month. A rent or mortgage in the $1000-1500 space isn’t too abnormal here leaving $2K+ for your other needs, utilities, food, etc
It’s not a life of luxury level to be sure, but being someone who has gone from “milk to make mac & chz is a luxury” to actually having a few bits extra to buy some nice toys there is a cutoff out there where cash stops being the main stress in life. In my case it was somewhere around the point when I could just go buy a jug of milk without having to check if that was going to leave enough gas money for the rest of the week…
I’m assuming you mean they will be getting a lower portion of the increases? The chart you have here looks more like how many people fall in a given bracket.
It makes plenty of sense to shift things to greater gains on the lower end. A while back there was a study that said somewhere around $75K was the point at which actual income gains start to level off as far as what improvements it makes to your life. At that point you can probably pay your bills and afford to eat without stressing so much over every decision. I forget if that was for a single person or what, but for where I live it would be doable to be sure. Lower than that and you need that extra boost to just meet the basic needs.
They may take our lives… They may take our freedumbs… But, they’ll never take our pron!!!1!
The rally cry that may save the nation from the clutches of Idiocracy…
And why is the lawmaker fictitious? It’s literally one of the major points of their project 2025.
My single user Lemmy instance is targeted by Chinese scanning, as is pretty well every other IP on the web…
Last time it was an active assault on the Congress on a few days notice.
This time the guy has been talking up bood in the streets pretty well from the begining of the campaign.
A terrible decision and really disturbing if the board doesn’t have the guts to stand up to the boss.
That said, what’s with these ‘articles’ that are nothing more than gathering screen shots and repeating what people said on Twitter? Do better people, the point of social media is the public can already read that crap for themselves. You’re not investigating or adding value to anything by doing this…
So pretty much one of those smart speaker things with a pin on it, for hundreds of $$$ and a subscription to boot? What a great idea…
People tried to tell him, ‘Donald, the dealers HAVE to have the deck facing DOWN or your gonna be ruined’, but noooo would he listen to those other casino people? No, they where just jealous of his flashy new style that was gonna take all their biggest and bestest players away…
I’ve never heard of this thing, is it supposed to do what the analyze this picture or ID the song playing features of my phone already could do, or is there something novel I’m missing?
So this guy wants to be in charge of efficiently running the entire fucking country, but he couldn’t get a backup mic setup at his own rally?
Florida man is so dumb he migrated north for the winter…
I don’t think we can cite a trend when the last two, soon to be there rounds have been with Trump on the R side. A sizable part of the gains can be attributed to people desperately looking to keep him out rather than any grand shift in attitudes of the state.
Look at the results for Governor and that with the way they’ve behaved on immigration, abortion, educational standards. That should be more telling.
A vote is a vote, but that’s not the solution I spoke of. Rather than trying to push people to disengage or vote 3rd party, neither of which will make any meaningful difference to the situation (even in the million to one chance some 3rd party did get elected, they’re a politician and will do politician things), why not take the situation into your own hands and create the company run by someone who won’t behave like a capitalist?
Create the next Google, but you can be the one who really follows the “don’t be evil” mantra and in the process usurp the throne from the capitalists who have gone wrong. Once that is done you have the ability to simply hand the reigns over to anyone working there and walk away knowing the problem of that particular market is now solved.
The amusing thing about the people who complain that capitalists are the root of all problems, they don’t make an effort to correct it.
Take the situation of this story. If your ideals are pure and would have the popular support of a critical mass of people, there is absolutely not one thing preventing the establishment of a company, chartered as a public good corporation, and ran as a non-profit entity to provide these kind of material goods for people at cost, or if someone is willing to subsidise the production even less so if you like. You could even get the seed money from a crowd sourced campaign, or so called ‘angel investors’ no strings attached, no ownership stakes to distribute.
The things they promise to do like segmentation and 2FA should very well have been in place for the most part already. Sounds like a lot of ‘just try harder’ to me
I haven’t particularly looked for one recently, but you could accommodate a lot of that with a simple mouse that uses standard AA batteries. Nice to be able to swap without it having to be some special type, but he one I had was some cheap thing that broke quick.
Universities will also have to add mandatory antidiscrimination training for students under the laws, which were introduced by Jewish lawmakers with the aim of counteracting antisemitic harassment that has reportedly spiked on college campuses since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel last year.
Wow, way to keep the tone and framing of the report balanced there Politico. Have to mention in multiple paragraphs about how Hamas attacked and what the Jewish legislators did and thought. Then the phrasing ‘yet the ACLU contested…’ to indicate just how bizarre and shocking their contention is…
I get that essentially every news org has an opinion and position these days, but can you at least try and make some semblance of not trying to spin things that much? A story can only take so much centrifugal force before it rips itself apart.
There is a separate thunderbird app from k-9 now, so apparently not just an update. Obnoxious though that the new app lists a bunch of collected data types while k-9 doesn’t list any. Maybe just a legacy thing since K-9 has been around forever and they didn’t list them originally, but still upsetting for the privacy minded.
