  • For instance, it isn't voting against your interest to support tax cuts if you believe that everyone should be paying less taxes

    You are operating the assumption that everyone is paying their fair share of taxes. Billionaires in the US pay 8.2% in federal taxes, which doesn't include all their untaxable assets and tax evasion schemes. The average tax payer pays 13.3%, up to 37% depending on their tax bracket.

    You might think that 5% isn't a big difference, but keep in mind that 5% of a billion is $50,000,000. Billionaires don't become billionaires through 'hard work and ethics'. They become billionaires through exploitation of the ghastly federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, a wage that would be about $21.5 per hour if it kept up with inflation. Keep in mind that this is the bare minimum, not a livable wage, which would be closer to $30 per hour.

    Billionaires are typically born with hoards of intergenerational wealth, in wealthy neighborhoods with well funded schools. Your zip code will largely tell you whether or not you succeed. The American Dream has long been dead and it's time to wake up.

  • Are youIn 2006, the AABB, American Red Cross, and America's Blood Centers all supported a change from the current US policy of a lifetime deferral of MSM to one year since most recent contact. One model suggested that this change would result in one additional case of HIV transmitted by transfusion every 32.8 years. The AABB has suggested making this change since 1997. The FDA did not accept the proposal and had concerns about the data used to produce the model, citing that additional risk to recipients was not justified. Source

    We are well past the 80s and decades behind something that should have. Been corrected a long time ago. The systemic discrimination towards gay men is apparent when you look at EU models of deferment compared to the US.

  • At no point did I say anything about 'men'. I said Lemmy's 77% male userbase is prejudiced towards women.

    That is neither hateful or bigoted. It's a fact that misogynist like you are blind to.

    'Logic' my ass. Nothing about what you say is rational. You're simply triggered for being called out on your poor behavior.

  • You all ever tried saying 'excuse me'?

    Adding this to the long list of things women aren't allowed to enjoy while hurting absolutely no one (uggs, Starbucks, rose, candles, just anything branded feminine)

    Edit: for the tone deaf people in the back who say this isn't about women, look again. The whole package of 'OMG', exclamation marks, 'annoying kids', two moms, some annoying trait, is all dog-whistle for people who like to trivialize things women do. This isn't a unique phenomenon in memes. See how men elevate, and women ruin the foods they love.

    Before you comment, think about the relevance of your own experiences. Lemmy's userbase is 77% men and sometimes it shows.
