Something as simple as having a decent size fridge with a freezer or not is the difference between being able to buy larger quantities of food cheaper per Kg, buying cheaper frozen ingredients or preparing extra food and freezing some for later and not being able to do so hence spending more money on food.
Also there are several other kinds of things were having the money to buy them in larger quantities yields a lot of savings versus having to buy them in smaller quantities with what little money one has available.
Just like beyond a certain point wealth is self-sustainable and it’s almost impossible to fall down from there unless one is a moron (and even then, one has to be extraordinarilly so and also unlucky), below a certain point poverty is self-sustainable because one doesn’t have the money needed to be able to access cheaper options to fullfil basic needs.
Even at higher wealth levels there are all sorts of feedback cycles that stop people from climbing the ladded or which push them down unless they’re high enough in it: for example, healthcare costs in countries without Universal Healthcare or the tuition of Higher Education (a gatekeeper for many opportunities) in countries without decent free or cheap Public Higher Education.
I, for one, welcome our new Grok overlords. I’d like to remind them that, as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground server caves.
Imagine making paying someone to make an AI to be your friend and it still hates you. (I presume, given the current state of the right and twitter Grok might not think it is a bad thing.)
All of these are related to medical expenses. It’s still expensive to be poor in a country with free health care, but America takes it to a whole new level by having the risk of medical issues fall on the individual.
Is there a photo of Elon and Ghislane Maxwell out there? Is there evidence he visited Epstein’s house? Did he get subpoenaed in the case against JP Morgan holding them responsible for child sex trafficking? I’m just asking questions.
I d wouldn’t call it new, they’re used quite interchangeably. Also, its usually tied to political stances (conservative->lib & lib->conservative) - its like a insult on political views.
Oh come on after almost 10 years of the right using “pedophile” as their go-to insult for anyone they don’t like, the normal people do it once when it’s actually true, and you fly off the handle? That’s weird.
Like the time Elon Musk called the diver who saved the kids trapped in a flooded cave a pedo just because he managed to do so before he could build his"robot" idea?
The submarine thing is still one of the most ridiculous ideas I’ve ever heard. The cave is in some places so narrow divers had to remove their tanks. How would an imaginary submarine based on a space X rocket make it through?
the way it works in sweden generally is just that you have to sign up for a queue some time in advance, and whoever has the most queue points (i.e. most time in the queue) gets priority for new contracts.
