Sorting is a process. If they took out any of the bad ones before shipping it, it's been processed.

Once lived in a small town with not one, but TWO Hollywood Videos. In like the late 20-teens. Just napkin math numbers, you'd need every household in the town to rent a video twice a week to support both of those just maintaining their leases... Over a decade into the age of streaming dominance.

There was no way they weren't doing something shady on the side.

Sometimes the technically proper name is just worse.

Like toasted cheese. Which is a weird south-central NY thing.

Nowhere in the country can you afford rent on minimum wage. Not in cities, not in small towns, not in bum fuck nowheresville cheapest red state with no single public services .

20 states, or 40% of the country, do NOT have higher minimum wages than federal. That seems pretty relevant, especially since a stagnant minimum wage is what's keeping your own higher than minimum pay suppressed.

What absolute dumbass thought that would be a good metric to track?

The federal poverty standard is horribly low. Like you're still on the brink of homeless at twice that wage.

There's no mechanism to do that.

And the in replacing them is, even without the gerrymandering, people tend to think it's everyone else's congressmember not doing their job, except their own. Because they couldn't possibly have voted wrong.

So most didn't ever change.

Republicans often try to liken women to witches in their constituents minds. It's their go to smear. They hate women. They want them back in the kitchen under control of men, just like the propaganda that transformed post war America pushed

The brink? We're already there, but the supply chain takes a few weeks to catch up. We are just now getting empty ports just like during covid. Empty ports now means empty shelves in a couple weeks. Empty shelves means prices skyrocket again. And layoffs start en mass when companies can't get supplies that need workers to work on.

Even buying physical media, they claim you still don't own the content, are only leasing it. It's all bullshit to charge more and give us less. Stop defending this practice of eroding consumer rights

Sounds like it's centralized around Linus...

It wouldn't matter who pays the tariff, the price would go up regardless.

RFK jr is also the "mutilated a whale carcus and strapped the severed head to the roof of the car with his kids inside" guy

Given how Reddit bans are currently being dealt out, it's likely a "Aryan Race is superior and Jews are evil" Republican.

No, they started using those limited time coupons instead of changing prices to be less trackable by that site

Obviously these bailouts are meant for Blackrock

Just like last time, this will happen too late for many family farms to avoid having to sell, and Big Ag companies will step in, but up that land for cheap AND get those government handouts.

Nice thought but literally impossible. Everyone has loyalties to something.

And people already can't be bothered to know what the stances in major issues between the two main parties are, you really expect the average voter to research random individuals?

Have you ever tried looking up info in those local school board candidates? Half of them don't have anything online at all. Still, despite how easy it is to make a website

And The Republican supermajority on the new SCOTUS is looking to rollback gay marriage.
