I think the most important context is minimum wage.
In 1982 a full-time job making $3.35 an hour is pulling in approx $6,700 a year. Or 14% of the price of a house.
In 2022, that same worker, working the same number of hours at minimum wage $7.25 an hour is bringing in $14,500 a year. Or 3.5% the price of a house.
The same for groceries. THAT is the fucked up part. It's what happens when people seem OK with 50 trillion dollars going from the bottom 90% to the top 1% over the past several decades.
I also couldn't find a better map on that link. The state itself is strikingly partisan, and I can't imagine a map that wouldn't reflect that. That could just be my lack of imagination though.
Corporate partners were brought on and more than $1.5 million was raised for the project. . . . No new home for animals was built, the main corporate partner pulled out and no one seems to be able to account for what happened to more than $300,000 that had been raised.
I wonder what happened to the $90,000, I mean if I was given and extra $2,000 I would know where it was. In fact, if this is a problem, I'll just return the $17 bucks. Jeez.
Whoa. You weren't kidding. I almost never go into comment history, but I found someone to block there.
Maybe you want an ultrawide for some tasks. I can see why people use them, it's not something I've felt I need.
Oh goodness.
I wish people would explain their downvotes for this post. It has more information and nuance than 99% of the posts on lemmy. I guess because it doesn't fit whatever rage they are currently entertaining.
I didn't catch that on SNL. That's pretty funny.
I heard someone refer to her as Barney Rubble and I just can't get that image out of my head.
I'm always surprised when these weird freaks believing in trickle-down economics actually exist. Morons who still worship at the fecal stained feet of dementia Reagan.
They need to check gardening supply places.
