Look through the thread and you will see people showing their work and coming up with similar numbers. 40% was a rough estimate off the top of my head. Figures from a recent paystub of mine: gross income of $2700.80, net income of $1774.41. My deductions are more than just taxes, but regardless that is an effective reduction in pay of %35.31. This is a real life figure that the others may be similarly subjected to, as opposed to the numbers you get out of a calculator.

100 hours of work if the money is tax free (it's not). Taxes take about 40% of your gross income so on $23/hr hr can't afford the listed bills.

When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, β€œWho then can be saved?”

Jesus looked at them and said, β€œWith man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

The Alpha Industries MA-1 jacket is the best jacket I've bought. It's very waterproof but kind of heavy. It's at the higher end of your budget but Alpha is worth checking out.

It literally accounts for emergencies.

The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.

To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it. No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart, no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart, you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it.

The Shopping Cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.

Nobody is "uncomfortable." Just unamused. Some people just want to look at memes and be amused. Politics are not fun.

In this case dissemination would be a third party posting the video without her consent. "Tipping off" someone about that information is equivalent to sharing a video found online.
