  • A parliamentarian is appointed by the majority and their opinions are advisory. So if you want to kill the $15 minimum wage increase, first you have to appoint a parliamentarian who disagrees with the $15 minimum wage and then you have to pretend like they are an expert (and not just a political appointment) and that their opinion is somehow binding. So much circular bullshit "clever politics", just to lose to Trump ANYWAY.






  • They took down Palestine’s flag and then it all started.

    An eyewitness stated: “It all kicked off when they pulled a Palestinian flag off a facade. Then they started provoking and destroyed a taxi driver's car and beat up the driver themselves.”

    Some Maccabi fans were seen with metal chains, ready to attack.

    Also during tonight’s match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Israeli supporters refused to hold a minute of silence for Valencia flood victims. They even started illegal fireworks.

    They sang racist extermination songs

    “Let the IDF win to Fuck the Arabs”

    Maccabi Tel Aviv hooligans chant their genocidal song while being protected by the police in Amsterdam, this song they’re chanting has a part that says “there are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left”.

  • Even people who use those words on TV usually don't know what they mean, or at least use zero context.

    Yes, inflation is low now. But also, if inflation is 2% and your wages go up by 0%, you are still worse off than if inflation is 5% and your wage goes up 5%.

    But also, inflation is not a full cost of living measurement, some things aren't counted or aren't properly counted etc. Because of some accounting gimmick, healthcare inflation was negative in 2022, even tho individuals paid more for healthcare in 2022 than in 2021. Also, Biden ended a shitton of pandemic-era welfare programs, if inflation is 0% and you lose a government benefit worth $200 per month, you are still worse off.
