Bet that old timer loves his Medicare and social security, though. Lmfao
So you’re cutting the butter with the spoon, too, I assume? Do you not refrigerate your butter?
Not being critical. Legit curious
Maybe they should pull their houses out of this predicament by their boot straps
I didn’t think it was controversial to use math to reduce numbers. TIL
I feel like % doesn’t really drive home just how many people around us this is.
6.8/100 is 3.4/50.
Over 3 people out of every 50.
That’s a lot of people.
I love cereal but that shit has zero staying power. It is noting remotely like a full meal.
There are way better things if I want some brinner
The pandemic showed that a huge percentage of our work is literately bullshit used to keep us grinding away and not actually living life. And to keep us from dealing with the huge and glaring problems in our society.
The Puritan idea that we must slave away in order to be worthy is a lie.
One of the greatest economists, Keynes, expected us to be working 15-20 hours a week at this point because of productivity increases.
But instead of sharing in the blessing of productivity, we were forced to do an increasing amount of meaningless work and spend less time actually living, all while being shackled with debt rather than even increasing our pay.
A pretty garbage system if you ask me.
“The law of the jungle”.
So they must mean the one where we work cooperatively together to survive, since banding together has been the thing that kept us alive the most?

These people are basically monsters.
They’ve knowingly and willingly set their greed above everyone and everything living on the planet.
Literal cartoon villain style shit. Knowingly stymying climate research, funding what are essentially disinformation campaigns… All for greed and selfishness.
I weep for the future and for what the children of today will never get to have because of monsters like this.
