I’m gonna guess you’re just trolling or unwell mentally, I am from WNC and a majority of my family and friends live there. There is one granite mine that supplies for chips and it is in a specific town called Spruce Pine. The government did not manufacture a hurricane that covered a third of a state so one town can give away mining rights
The tone of this writing is bizarre, even for satire
There are lines for grocery stores but it’s mostly because the store itself is throttling the number of people in the store at the same time, gas is non-existent, no cell or Internet connection, many without power or water or both. I don’t know if it’s as bad as Katrina but it is certainly pretty bad and way worse than when the area was hit by multiple hurricanes in the late 2,000s.
A Nation in active conflict cannot join NATO, you silly silly person
RuneScape would like a word with you
Eh I’ll take it, better than reading about candidates continuing to defend a fake news conspiracy about immigrants eating pets or whatever horrible thing they focus on next
As sad as it is, it’s actually kinda refreshing to see a mundane headline regarding politics
Everyone of the people I know who have the sticker/tattoo aren’t Nazis, they are big into guns and tend to be anti-government though.
Three percent is from the population% that supported the American revolution at its inception, at least that’s what I’ve understood of it.
I’m sure there are plenty of Nazis that also claim to be 3%ers but I’ve never known it to be a Nazi thing, maybe they have tried to claim it.
Similar to the OK hand sign I will never see it as a symbol of nazism/white supremacy.
Most of those stickers aren’t Nazis
Yeah it only being supported on pixel is what made me lose interest too but there is a good reason why it’s specifically pixel phones, it’s one of the only phones that doesn’t have a bootlocker/ you can disable it. GrapheneOS can’t operate on phones with a bootlocker. I could be a little off on this explanation but that’s the gist I remember.
For reference here are inflation rates YOY since 2017:
2017 2.10%
2018 1.90%
2019 2.30%
2020 1.40%
2021 7.00%
2022 6.50%
2023 3.40%
Just to make up for the last three years of inflation they would need +16.9% instantly. Assuming +2% inflation over those 4 years (which is the average but not right now) that means from 2020 to 2028 inflation rose 26.3% so if they started a +25% increase over 4 years this year, the workers would have the same spending power they had in 2020.
Data is from the bureau of labor statistics
1.25×40×52= +2,600 per year before taxes, they would hit +10k after 4 years which almost certainly won’t keep up with inflation. So at best they would have equal spending power to when the 4 year period started
Was getting submission errors when I tried to post this which lead to me tweaking and resubmitting which lead to me accidentally posting dozens of time. I am sorry for accidentally spamming the community.
It wasn’t intentional, Lemmy was giving a submission error and I was trying to tweak it to make it not, while unintentionally posting this a shit ton
Yeah it kept saying submission error, I didn’t think it was posting it and I messed with it thinking it was a character limit or something. All are deleted but one, Lemmy still has some kinks
Blocking hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml
Yeah that’d for sure step one for blocking some extreme views. It’s actually kinda nice that they all aggregate to a couple instances, just have to find an instance that blocks both or filters them out. I don’t block them personally but it’s fairly easy too.
Won’t even outpace inflation at that rate nor does it fix the past 4 years of hyper inflation. Just as tone deaf as you’d expect from a company that cannot produce reliable air travel after being able to provide it for decades before.
That guy is way too cute to be a recluse, he looks like a sweet little jumper.
You should see the data for people improperly using cars or medications or alcohol. Pretty scary stuff, I think everything should be illegal.
Most of his reform so far has focused more on making the current paths that existed more obtainable, ex: public service loan forgiveness. So he has made student loan forgiveness where you meet specific qualifications much better, which is very helpful, but not everyone qualifies.
Blanket student loan forgiveness hasn’t happened, because it was successfully blocked by the Republicans (after like 4 attempts). I assume this is referring to blanket forgiveness.
Could be wrong on all this, if anyone spots something incorrect just say it.
Ahhh I misunderstood your tone my bad, it’s a bit of an emotional topic for me. I’ve been checking in on friends the last couple days to make sure no one’s dead… I thought you meant that last sentence as an “we’re being censored!” Bit
