If they’re not increasing at an equal or greater rate than inflation then they’re not really increasing.

Lead.

My guess is theyre talking about the energy grom their speakers being wasted on mechanical energy vibrating the entire vehicle and structures in direct vicinity, vs more efficient speakers that focus the energy into sound waves that go straight up in the air where your ears can catch em

How could they do this to my -viches

If you think trump is a wild card on this topic I really don’t know what to tell you.

Oh man now I’m kinda sad that my gas cap is just a flap that is pushed in by the nozzle and I can’t go see if it actually had a cap holder the whole time :(

The ones that don’t know

America first is actually another slogan of theirs so you don’t even have to go that far to draw the comparison

Tbf I think the avocado toast outrage was over people paying inflated prices at a restaurant for something so easy and cheap to make at home, not the dish itself or any of its ingredients ever being a luxury.

Right, but they’re not disapproving because he’s doing too much genocide, they’re disapproving because they think he isn’t doing enough genocide. At least from the coverage I’ve seen on the ground in Israel of Israelis.

Right like that’s kind of the entire point of these solidarity encampments; it’s a statement that we should not be subjecting humans to those conditions

So when do we get to start calling these guys nazis? Cause I’m pretty sure that calling to send dissenters to camps, where a concentrated ethnic group is actively having genocide committed against them, is some nazi shit.

I agree with you that its not about individual action, I was just saying your argument was kind of a non-sequitur. It was a hypothetical, so it’s more like if exercise was already mandated and the argument was to take it away. In this metaphor you would be arguing in favor of the mandated exercise, just like you’re arguing for fluoride, because you wouldn’t get enough exercise without it.

Whatever, it’s early, maybe I’m not making much sense. I wasn’t trying to start anything. I’m more or less undecided on the whole fluoride thing.

There are fluoride rinses you can buy for fairly cheap

I disagree with them as well for different reasons but me not taking care of my teeth also doesn’t make yours fall out

Right cause that’s the other thing about single payer healthcare, the single payer actually has a fiscal responsibility to keep people from needing it

why is inflation necessary again?

stock market go brrr

If a company makes less profit than last quarter, no matter how many billions in profit that actually comes out to or how satisfied the customers are with the company’s products, investors will be sad and the line will go down. If a company makes more profit than last quarter, the line goes up regardless of if that growth is actually sustainable long term because that’s not our problem right now. All that matters is we can tell investors we had record profits this quarter, the executives get to take home their million dollar bonuses, and the line doesn’t go down until after those execs leave for even greener pastures.

So, a company can’t just be good at what it does at the scale that it does it, it must grow constantly like a cancerous tumor in order to stay attractive to investors. When people are flush with cash you squeeze it out of them as fast as you possibly can because, again, the future doesn’t matter right now and anyways they’ll just give it to someone else if you don’t take it first. Sell products that don’t last very long so the customer keeps coming back. Raise prices and cut staff when times are anything less than stellar but never under any circumstances lower prices or give workers more than the lowest amount it takes to keep them working, because that means less profit which means the line will go down which means the execs don’t get their bonuses and that is a fate worse than death.

Well yeah, because liberal != progressive or even remotely leftist.

Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were both (neo)liberals.

Are you telling me my mom is full of boobs
