I’m also in Bumfuck, though a bit closer to civilization and even $30/hr isn’t enough. Rent has gone up 200% in the past 6 years and food has gone up almost 300%
Of my $1000/wk 90% goes to just paying bills, food, and rent.
Dems made it illegal in my state
Tech is finally expected to actually turn a profit for the first time in almost 40 years. Which means everything is rapidly reverting to automated financial instruments.
Because they just slapped Nazi clipart into a Canva project and decided that was enough
Remember that “targeted sanctions” don’t exist. When a leader or industry in a country is sanctioned, that sanction applies to the whole supply chain.
“Targeted sanctions” are about as harmless as pulling just a single link out of a bike chain.
I had never seen him, looked him up after this and yeah, that room scene is basically just a texture map of his actual room
I read it while drinking 2 cups of coffee and smoking 3 cigarettes.
I’ve read about that, and yeah I wouldn’t include those in prison statistics any more than id include people in rehab or a halfway house.
The biggest thing is being remunerated for labor at I believe the standard rate minus deductions for room and board.
The Cuba data is from here they’re probably doing something like including people on probation, or in community service. 450 prisoners per institution is pretty high. US prisons are at 130% capacity and have about 400 per facility so those number just don’t make sense.
The China numbers are questionable too. Even with the low incarcerated rate, they somehow fit 3000 people in each institution (4000 if you include the Uhigurs which the database hints at but avoids sure to lack of reliable figures)
Yep. You will get incredibly sick incredibly fast if you spend time in floodwater or the mud that some after. You should also wear a respirator if you’re near the mud after it dries.
A $400K home sells for closer to $1M over the course of its lifetime. Then cash buyers come in and scoop us what is a $1M home to a regular person for 60% off then rents that home back to them for a 30year equivalent of $1.4M
Oat milk is so much better than cow milk, plus it doesn’t spoil in a disgusting way like cow milk.
It’s also just great for salads because you don’t need to really cook it and don’t have to worry about it spoiling like meat.
Aquafaba is a fantastic substitute for egg whites in cocktails.
You can make a killer whiskey sour with aquafaba, lemon juice (Meyer lemon), nice whiskey, and a dash of aromatic bitters
Parenti wrote a book called “To Kill A Nation” where he detailed the Ygoslavian breakup and the NATO invasion and bombing of public infrastructure and government buildings (including a Chinese embassy).
His overall take is that the narrative pushed by NATO/US interests was false and he defended Milošević against his charges of genocide. Something which the Hauge was unable to prove and eventually just landed on “well, just because we don’t have evidence doesn’t mean he didn’t do it”.
This lib is saying Bernie is anti imperialist because he supported the NATO bombings of Yugoslavian infrastructure and the balkanization of the country along racial lines (followed by massive privatization of formerly public industry) while Parenti opposed it.
They’re so work brained that they forgot the word for friend.
It just looks like an iPad on a stand, which looks like a giant iPhone.
I can get the “unified design language” thing, but like try to make something cool.
Oh yeah, indigenous Cuban “Robbie Starbuck”
