That is less than 30k a year. Which is a giant pile of bullshit. Should be getting way more than that. Seems like a statistical anomaly to most government budgets, and needs to be higher to serve as a reminder.

There is a Planet Money (podcast) episode about this. It’s a fairly new economic theory, but actual PhD level economists have said this. Government prints money, and to bring down inflation they need to get taxes to reduce the amount of money in circulation, to control inflation. The epidsode was in the 2019 timeframe, I think.

Something that absolutely works in the abstract, but kinda hard to fit into my current model of reality.

Two things are happening simultaneously Russia/China are trying to spread discontent, and Trumps followers are being told they no longer have to abide by social norms that keeps societies civil.

I believe the uncivil thing just always comes in waves as the people that don’t like change are forced to change and get resentful. Some kind of event happens and resets the floor, or all the people that don’t want to change die off, and things settle down.

And this is the mental framework through which I see the world.

Look at your boss and be angry, not the customers. You should not be in a tipped position as a cook.

Saw a FB post from him with the “Killdozer” drawing, and the text of ‘Tread on them’. He may have done good work, but that does not make him heroic.

I think The Lockpicking Lawyer (YouTuber)has consistently put out good April’s fools videos. I do have a sophomoric sense of humor though, and they are all based on innuendo.

You can drive for four hours and still be on I-5 in LA.

I expect this to get a lot of negative input, but the Orca’s free roam space is actually 3x the size they’ve highlighted. And granted, it’s really small compared to the oceans of the world, but someone’s purposely lying, and to make the point they don’t even need to. Just had to try to get the multiplier to move a tiny bit more, like that would be the sway point.

Still not sure what people expect SeaWorld to do with the orcas they currently have. Should they all be shot? Is that better for the orcas? They would starve to death if released.
