No, he has 2% of that 4.6% and people are just bad at understanding how percentages work.
Not that one individual having a full 2% of the wealth of an entire generation is a great thing.
Yes. The nursing profession doesn’t fuck around with this kind of shit.
Jesus, you’re everywhere. Yes, it’s better to let someone get away with whatever cheap trash they carried out of a fucking Walmart than it is to endanger the public with high speed vehicles.
My sister lives near Huntington with my four nephews and niece. I don’t want them accidentally hit by an out of control cop car because some poor person stole trash from a Walmart.
Of course no one believes that, don’t make hyperbolic strawmen. But you can’t deny that poverty definitely drives a nontrivial percentage of crimes, and we have plenty enough resources to end poverty. Let’s do that, and the remaining actual sociopaths can stay in prison for life. (But also let’s make prison no longer a place where we torture and enslave people.)
What a beautiful thing
It’s not. It’s a disingenuous way to enact early abortion bans that targets people’s emotions, but is meaningless from a healthcare perspective. We don’t treat heartbeat as the ultimate arbiter of “life” in fully grown adults; we use brain function.
If we want to apply a similar standard for determining the cutoff for elective abortions, it’s more complicated because the fetal brain assembles itself slowly. Hearing starts to become intact some time in the late second trimester, but the capacity to experience pain doesn’t develop until after viability (the point in development when a fetus can be sustained medically outside the womb.)

Even using those potential physiological markers can’t be relied on to enact a full permanent ban without exceptions because a fetus can develop defects that are incompatible with life, such as severe hydrocephalus or anencephaly, which complicate the process of gestation and birth in such a way that a late term abortion may be medically appropriate considering the fetus will not develop the ability to live independently outside the womb anyway.
And the real kicker here: Doctors are already very good at making these kinds of nuanced distinctions and making decisions in consultation with their pregnant patients and their families. We do not need legal regulation to do what medical ethics regulations already do very well.
No, I think this goes to show that the whole idea that people will cry if prices are raised to increase wages is a lie. People who buy products and services want the people who are tasked with delivering those products and services to make a good living. They are willing to pay more in the form of tips; they will be willing to pay more in the form of prices. Just give people raises already ffs.
(And that’s not to say that prices will actually increase all that much if wages increase because that’s also mostly a lie told to protect corporate profit margins.)
They pay 42% of INCOME taxes, which are only 40% of the annual federal tax receipts. Which means their income tax only amounts to about 17% of the overall tax receipts. Their FICA contributions are capped and they pay no FICA on anything over about $140,000. FICA tax accounts for 25% of overall federal tax receipts. The majority of remaining tax receipts are consumption taxes and property taxes, both of which are regressive and impact lower income citizens more.
