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, “Who then can be saved?”

Jesus looked at them and said, “With 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.

Why is this news?

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

It appears you have a paper thin understanding of the world around you. Some conservative meme spam should fix that.

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.

Lmao looks like you struck a nerve with the redditors OP

From Citation 33 of the Wikipedia article you linked. Reading the original source provides the context of the quote.

Why don’t you do the same? Your original quote is 137 years old. It is in fact problematic to equate the economic landscape of 2023 to that of 1886. In that quote Douglass is specifically criticizing the treatment of freed slaves, not capitalism in general. (If you want to convince people capitalism is bad, you need to make valid criticisms, not twist old quotes to suit your narrative)

The title is misleading because like you said, it is an argument over semantics. Not “Schools’ right to deny free lunch to gay and trans kids.”

Misleading title. The Biden administration is trying to tie lunch funding to schools’ gender policies and republicans are suing against that. There’s no mention of “denying lunch” to anyone.
