Just a reminder that we’ve been trying to get the minimum wage to $15/hr for so long that if we kept up with inflation the minimum wage would be over $25/hr now. By the time $15/hr actually passes it’ll be less than half of what it should be.

Oh thank goodness; looking at it again I think you are right!

Is that a dog on the deck?!

They don’t have whatever it is that daddy has that gets his cult members riled up; with the possible exception of Ivanka, I expect all his horrid offspring to disappear back into the dark fringes of our society once Trump is gone.

Anyone who is fine insulting people for their mixed race heritage while also having mixed race kids of their own is a a special type of asshole. There’s ignorance (which can be fixed) and then there’s being a complete sociopath who sells their own children’s wellbeing just for career advancement. I feel very sorry for their kids.

I wish it was a life sentence but as poor of health as the dude looks, maybe it is.

It says the beta was to test multiplayer so hopefully that means the PvP multiplayer mode and not the campaign co-op mode. If so, I’m fine with that; the pvp mode looked interesting but that’s not what I’m really buying it for.

It’s a bit hard to tell accurately from this picture but I counted the lanes of cars near the bottom somewhere in the 48-50 range though there are only 25 or so actually toll booths so who knows.

Justice is always delayed otherwise it’s just retaliation.

Yes that was my one big critique as well but I still very much enjoyed the show.

Sadly you’re probably right but it’s still very much worth the watch as the season is pretty self-contained.

100%.

There’s a reason Roger Stone has a huge Nixon tattoo…well probably more than one reason, all equally bad.

Reagan 2, Fascist Boogaloo

Yeah; his profile is public. In fact he’s on right now: his gamer tag is P3 if you want to add him.

It is kind of surreal popping on my Xbox and seeing him online playing the same game I am.

How many absolute crap games is this now for this publisher this year? Three? It’s got to be some kind of money laundering scam, right?

Get money out of politics. Nothing will fundamentally change until we accomplish this.

Correct

That’s my point. We (those of us that aren’t at least millionaires) don’t really differentiate in society between someone that has a million dollars and someone that has 10 million dollars; they’re both stuck in the “millionaires” tier.

So say you are making $50,000 a year, well it’s easy to see how you or someone like you could (theoretically) get to $100,000; that’s just the next tier up. And then it’s easy to imagine someone going from $100,000 to a million because that’s the next tier up again. But once you get there, people don’t tend to think of ten million as a tier and usually not a hundred million either. The next tier in our zeitgeist after million is billion.

So people tend to think of billion being kind of the same as going from $100,000 to $1,000,000. Hence the common disconnect about just how much more money a billionaire has than the common man.

I have a theory about this: We group money in magnitudes of tens up to a million but then jump up from 10x to 1,000x:

1

10

100

1,000

10,000

100,000

1,000,000

1,000,000,000

That’s a huge increase but our minds like patterns so we instinctively feel that a billion must be about 10x a million and not the 1,000x it really is, thus leading to huge inaccuracies.
