This min wage one makes perfect sense imo. If you're not a commie and make significantly above average min wage, you want the people serving you at stores and what not to make as little as possible

A raise in minimum wages does actually cause companies to pass on those costs to the customers

Turns out that there's not a lot of billionaires that want to set aside their life for 18 months to go train to be an astronaut for the ISS

I wonder if there's some law that they could lobby to change. I wouldn't mind if billionaires started going to space without any training whatsoever

These polls don't say anything about the mood because the candidates to vote for are different

Fair enough, but the perception of black women is a far fall down from black men in America tbh

Makes sense. If they hustle at the factories hard enough for 7 years you can become a coveted delivery driver

Maybe I'm too woke but I'm pretty sure it's because Harris is black, Indian, and a women that the results flipped so hard

Union members aren't all far left on average or anything. Cops have and support their unions

Joining a union directly and clearly improves their own situation. Can the said be said for having a black, indian women be president for the white and/or male union members?

Are you confident there is a complete insignificant number of teamster members that have no racial biases at all? And that they all believe women as just as capable leaders?

How the fuck do I pay the drivers and a ride is a marketplace transaction between me and drivers when Uber is the one that sets both the prices and the cut of the fee the driver gets?

In what part of any of that did I or the driver make? I'm clearly paying Uber for the prices they set and then the drivers get paid from a cut that Uber also sets

No other marketplace be it eBay, AliExpress, or the local farmers market works like this

These changes seem fine tbh, non-technical users genuinely have no reason to be side loading apps that can bypass everything. the average Android user probably doesn't even understand what an operating system is

Tbh it'd actually be nice if Android out the box could be as locked down as iOS but stay as modifiable as it is now so technical users can still easily open everything up and tinker with it

Y'all are making a very important conflation

People are largely supportive of communist policies. How to get there and stay there is where most Westerners disagree

Break the commie voters down by how to achieve it and it should be almost all by voting

Most important part of these tariffs:

"The trade rule allows packages to be shipped from foreign countries directly to consumers or businesses without paying tariffs, as long as the shipments do not exceed $800 per recipient per day. The new proposal would strip that exemption from a wide array of products and most likely have a significant impact on large importers of Chinese goods such as Shein and Temu, two online marketplaces that have become popular with American shoppers."

This trade rule being taken advantage of by Aliexpress, Temu, and Shein is the sole reason why significant amounts of Americans could still afford to buy a lot of consumer goods despite having their real wages crash year after year. This would genuinely trigger another cost of living crisis

So that if there's a big event like a Taylor Swift concert you couldn't go to and they detected you're most likely a fan, they'll gen AI a photo of you at the concert

If you missed a Christmas gathering with your family, they'll gen AI one for you

If like Japan but haven't been there yet, they gen AI a whole vacation album of you there

They're literally trying to embed fabricated events into your life and brain lmao

People are largely very excited for this idea. All the apps between different companies constantly copy each other to achieve feature parity, there's no escape. You will live a life of luxury and excitement whether you want to or not

This has surprisingly garnered lots of support amongst gamers

Every day I keep getting surprised and my bar keeps getting lowered deeper into the ground
