rents have probably doubled in the last decade, absurd to think that wages wouldn’t need to go up. Groceries in the last year as well. COVID was clearly a cover to gouge.
What's up with crazy people in Philadelpha? Is there something in the water? Just a few days ago someone there stole a shop vac full of hornets there, and now this.
Using a shop vac to clear out hornets sounds weird but it’s the go-to approach that professional exterminators use when they can’t fumigate for one reason or another.
The “couples ruse” enables men on OUR raids to credibly pose as customers without having to “partake of what’s being offered” because their wives or girlfriends will object, Ballard said in an Instagram video posted this week. That way the man can entice a trafficker, but then explain why he can’t immediately avail himself of the sex he’s paying for, Ballard says.(Emphasis mine)
LOL riiiiiiiiight….
He also posted an anonymous testimonial from a woman who said she experienced “zero inappropriate behavior” while enacting the “couples ruse” during OUR’s international stings.
Damn son. Case closed with that bulletproof evidence.
Arresting someone before they’ve had the chance to kill people is AGAINST the Second Amendment! The ONLY time you’re allowed to intervene is AFTER they’ve killed an adult in public or child in school!
Money is literally worth half of what it was when I graduated high school in the 90s. My senior year I worked as a grocery clerk and made $9.50/hr while in a small city in Oregon (not expensive California). Math works out for me.
Well, there’s this, and this to say you’re right. Had the minimum wage tracked in line with production, it would be ~$26 today. If it had tracked in line with inflation, it would probably be closer to $21.45.
That it’s been flatlined for so long means people working for minimum wage have been getting steady pay cuts for 50 years.
It also happens that this is one of the reasons social security is straining financially- they were able to predict the demographic bulge of the baby boomers well enough, but they weren’t able to predict that wages would be constrained in the way they have been- and wages are the basis for Social Security’s funding.
This website gets posted a lot but the site itself doesn’t really give any context, it’s just nudges and winks. And people posting it never really give any context either.
