If that's how you want to read my words.
Krav Maga Macaw, which you probably don't realize is named for an Israeli martial art.
So, ten days to cut off your dick or breasts? Is that what I'm reading?
It is. You're not going to get it unless it's sexually transmitted or through a blood transfusion. So, basically, don't have sex with random strangers, and don't share needles.
I've never once had to worry about HIV. Why would I worry about this?
It's je ne Saint Croix.
Not unless there's a sperm thief about.
Just because one or two commodities are relatively cheaper doesn't mean the overall cost of living hasn't gone up. In 04 rent was a third of what it is now, in most places.
And? Just because the price of one good hasn't changed, that means the cost of living hasn't risen across the board? You sound like a good applicant to be Biden's new press secretary.
That's still going to be seriously ugly to live through.
Both can be true, as long as the government keeps changing the metrics tracking inflation
After the police kicked out the people whose sole responsibility was to ensure there wasn't cheating.
I wonder how much different things would be if everyone realized just how hard the value of the dollar is really plummeting. Their 40k/year pensions are probably going to be just enough to get them a spot in line at the soup kitchen by the time they retire.
You'll eat poison. All those morons are loaded down with spike proteins from the vax.
Feel some sympathy for people complaining about these kids today. They don't realize that against the real value of currency, on average and with notable exceptions, they've probably never had a significant raise in their entire lives.
Absolutely not! That kind of game-playing is part of what got us here. End immigration for at least a solid decade, bring back manufacturing, and put tariffs on foreign trade. Drop taxes altogether. The government can fund itself by printing money, and put tight regulations on that. End the Fed. Bind the dollar to a real world commodity. If we do all that, we'll have a painful, temporary economic dip, but in the long run the economy will be stronger for it.
Also, restore copyright and patent laws to their original dimensions, and pass right-to-repair legislation.
Like a body warming by the fire, take care of the core, and the extremities will warm themselves. The real value of wages will rise on it's own.
Oh, that's funny. As if our wages are going to go up, just because there's inflation! Thanks for the laugh.
Wages haven't increased against inflation for something like 70 years.
Sure. So did I. But I don't get why people play these games, as if inflation weren't happening. If wages were actually keeping up with real-world inflation, let's say, for instance, the value of silver, the 33¢ my father made picking strawberries on a neighbor's farm as a kid would be around $14 an hour today. And that was childhood farm labor, exempt from minimum wage, which was $1.15 at the time. Using the value of silver, which was what was backing the currency at the time, the minimum wage's real value was about $40 an hour.
We've been screwed hard.
Yeah, but when you made $3.35, money still had some value. Even according to official inflation rates, which we all know are garbage, like Biden's turkey hot dog barbeque, your $3.35 would be more like $10-11 today.
'84, here. I can still remember when they called us "Generation Y."
You must be a younger millennial.
It's a fuzzy line. I've heard us called X-ennials before. We don't quite fit in either group. I've always associated more with the traits of Gen X, though. Disaffected. Cynical. Race blind. But most X-ers came of age when the machine was still running. I can't say the same.
That really depends on your industry, though.
To be fair, having nobody in charge is better than what we currently have.
