I subscribe to this theory:
https://youtu.be/agzNANfNlTs
If you dont want to watch the video, basically its saying that many of those on the right dont think theyll ever become billionaires, but view billionaires as a natural result of capitalism, which they view as an effective tool for sorting people based on their worth to society.

Due to this, any systems that run counter to capitalism (regulations, social safety nets, public assistance, etc) will result in the wrong people being sorted into the wrong places in society, which could jeopardize their social standing as well.

basically they are racist is the point?

Class warfare

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2023/01/11/white-collar-job-cuts-call-for-workers-to-make-themselves-indispensable/amp/

In the new austerity era, white-collar workers will bear the brunt of layoffs. After years of halcyon times, its time for office workers to be circumspect and hold onto their jobs. The days of quiet quitting, acting your wage and joining the Great Resignation are over. Now, you need to make yourself indispensable.

You must go above and beyond what was in your initial job description. Remote work provides a healthy balance of life and work, but go into the office five days a week. Put in the hours, but also keep an eye open for new opportunitiesjust in case youre targeted for the next round of downsizing. Integrate yourself with your boss, so you know what you need to do to exceed expectations and hold onto your jobor possibly get a promotionwhile others who are not playing the game are unceremoniously shown the door.

The irony is this is a lie.
White collar today has more leverage than they ever had.

Anytime you hear an incredible science claim, you always want to ask yourself "could I concieve of any possible way that they could obtain that information?". And if the answer is no, read into it and have skepticism.

They are making this claim based on an extrapolation of the number of neurons they might have had. Not only does that extrapolation deserve an eyebrow raise, but the number of neurons is not really a measure of anything meaningful. You cannot claim tool use because an animal had many neurons lol.

Are you suggesting T Rex were not giant feathery Einstein chickens who had created Atlantis before being wiped out!?!?!?!?

I agree with your overarching point but Id pay money for this phrase to die a quick and comprehensive death.

Why do you say that? We can look back and see how evil the robber barons were but at the time idiots supported them for union busting and sending in the mercenaries to break strikes which killed people.

I'll just add that I worked in acute psychiatric care for 10 years.

We constantly had to talk down people in altered states of mind. We didn't have tasers, guns, or batons. We had our mind, our voices and our training.

Not one person died on my watch in 10 years. Not one.

Yet cops are supposedly highly trained.....

What a joke police are

radical_rhino posted...

First cop on the scene was very kind and calm. Then the dudes cocaine-addled brain took over and he ran into traffic. Thats when the cop began shouting commands. Dont know if the taser was a step too far but Id blame that on policy, not the officers on the scene.

Tased 4 times in 33 seconda while already on the ground unable to move

"Just procedure!"

@radical_rhino

Please explain

The_Korey posted...

After that traffic topic, kame in here fully expecting to be disgusted with police all over again. But the vid actually seemed reasonable enough. They were actually pretty patient with him. Nobody's waving their weapons around in fear of a "threat" nor is anyone flexing their authority to defend their fickle ego. Taser only kame out after several minutes of failing to hold the guy still enough to tie him down. Unfortunate, but I don't think this deserves being put on the same shelf as George Floyd.

Tased 4 times in 33 seconds

Do you own a house?

sugarysyntax posted...

stop putting in minimum effort and expecting maximum results. the median household income is good enough to get a house. the agenda here is that people expect to put in the bare minimum effort and have someone else cover their asses.

Maximum results?
Owning a home is a minimum result

SquantoZ posted...

I fucking hate cops. Everything single one of them. How do you not realize that he's terrified and clearly not doing well mentally in that situation? And you immediate thought is to resort to violence? WTF

what is most important to a cop is that their authority is felt by everyone around them no matter the consequences even if that means death because they swore and oath

1. protect and serve one's own authority and ego

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/news/furious-dcs-pregnant-trans-joker-jokes/

Joker fans have had a humour failure. Batmans nemesis has become caught up in a controversy over a madcap new storyline involving a surprise pregnancy, flying mud and a vengeful witch. Its Bridget Joness Diary in bullet-proof lycra. But out on the internet, nobodys laughing. Or so you might conclude while traversing the great shadowed canyons of social media.
The Joker is trans now, tweeted American Republican party candidate and former Smashing Pumpkins video director, Robby Starbuck. Who else is sick of this lunacy?.
Has the Dark Knights greatest foe truly gone non-binary? Not quite. In the latest edition of the limited-run series, The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing, we see the Joker romantically pursue female sorcerer Zatanna with whom he hopes to have a child. She isnt amused at the idea of starting a family with the Joker and so curses him so that no one else will ever bear his offspring. Or, in her backwards incantation, On eno esle lliw reve evah ruoy ybab!

The spell misfires. The Joker becomes pregnant. He develops a huge belly and visits a gynaecologist. Holy gender swap: he then vomits a splodge of mud that transforms into a fully-grown mutant baby. The Joker is proud of his offspring a feeling that proves immediately mutual. Hes so handsome, they declare via a shared thought bubble.
So far, so crazy. But the zany spirit of the strip has landed like a lead bat ballon among a certain segment of comic fandom for whom the idea of their beloved characters going woke is pure kryptonite.

There are at least 1.25 million Americans (just over 1% of the population) who earn less than or equal to the federal minimum wage as of 2021.
https://www.zippia.com/advice/minimum-wage-statistics/
https://www.zippia.com/advice/average-american-income/

26.6% of Americans make under $50,000/year.
43.3% make under $75,000.

The lowest CoL state in the US has a CoL near to $80,000/year.

43% of Americans make less than the CoL in the cheapest state (with the highest poverty rate) in the entire country.

Great info

That's a weird takeaway from what I actually posted

Super expected tho

what is expected about it? you seem to think that is a good answer to issue. should we thank banks for allowing us to borrow money at the cost of massive interest that indebts people till death?

DipDipDiver posted...

Well yeah I guess if you work a minimum wage job from 18 to 46 and save up the entire cost of the home instead of taking out a mortgage like normal people, it probably would take a long time

so live in debt till you die and have the mortgage company harass your kids?

Well in a reasonable economic system you SHOULD be able to. The whole "you should always have loans and be in debt" thing is a largely US idea.

you attempted a low effort drive by post to invalidate the tweet and I called you out on it
