"Hey! No running psyops while we're running a psyop! No fair!"

I love coming just in the nick of time

"remove our 2A rights" is a weird way to phrase "regulating gun availability to make it harder for people who intend to use them to kill people to get them." you know the text of the second amendment includes the phrase "well-regulated," almost as if they did not intend for gun availability to be the lawless wasteland that it currently effectively is.

...All of them? That's literally how all of them work.

My car is a bicycle. Specifically it is a 2017 Masi CX Comp.

They claim to be on track to make another profit year in 2024.

I'd give better odds to me becoming the king of Thailand in 2024.

He used to be a right wing billionaire who loved spreading his propaganda. He still is, but he used to be, too.

I am now inside my desk. I die a slow and painful death.

Why's it wrong?

set maximum profits aside

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Alright, so what individual actions are you personally undertaking to affect the kinds of systemic change we need for our economy to work for all of us? Surely if your ideology is founded on reality, you're making real change, right?

For me, personally, I am advocating for policy changes that would benefit us. My efficacy is limited, because my only real option is to bother my elected officials about it when I'm not busy working longer hours for lower real wages just to survive, but given that I believe policy changes are the only way to actually solve any of our systemic problems, I am at least ideologically consistent.

I wish I lived in your fantasy world where individuals who are being adversely affected by the cost of eggs can still somehow magically not only afford the startup costs of a farm, and manage to not only sell eggs at prices beating out major agribusiness, but can also do so at a sufficient scale to affect system-level change. What absolute starry-eyed naivete.

Your number leaves out all of the people whose pay rates are above minimum wage, but are still poverty wages. There is quite a large gap between minimum and poverty, and not in the direction that benefits the working class.

Furthermore, raising the minimum wage leads to people in that gap also getting raises. People can and do benefit tremendously from the minimum wage being raised, even if they have never personally worked at minimum wage. As such, the minimum wage is relevant to far, far more workers than are actually getting it.

Which was the fashion at the time.
