Bro I’d literally be impressed if we set a 1000x cap.

100x would be a reasonable utopian goal from where we are today.

5x is hard to even fathom. Especially when there exists a ~3x gap in minimum wages across the country.

I propose the minimum wage goes to $250/hr. Maximum wage goes to $2500/hr. You can make between 500k and 5m a year. The only catch is that 60% of it gets taxed up to 1M And 80% gets taxed beyond that. If you somehow do get more that $5M in a year, every dollar after 5M is taxed at a rate of 99.99%.

So you can make 100k - 200k after taxes and be poor.

You can make 200k - 1M after taxes and be the upper middle class.

Musks 46B would be… 5.6M after all taxes applied.

That seems reasonable.

Hopefully it’s:

Find cool doctor.

Wear suit.

Forget.

But Russia being Russia… Man fuck this timeline.

I got banned from r/politics for saying we were just waiting for old people to croak. “Permabanned”. Lasted like 3.5 years? Idk why/when I was unbanned.

Don’t sweat it. You’re literally better off.

It’s a motor skill. Consistent deliberate practice will yield results.

Write very very slowly. Practice all the specific movements for all letter combos. Only allow your speed of writing to increase if the quality doesn’t suffer.

It’s literally exactly like playing piano to your brain.

There’s a reason we’re at the top of the food chain.

I saw someone do a creative writing exercise where they wrote as a wise wild animal explaining why you don’t fuck with humans. We’re terrifying.

If a shark tries to taste just one of us, millions of us will attack their whole species.

We domesticated fucking wolves. Wolves realized it was better to bow down and beg for treats than to consider competing.

That we distill what makes us uncomfortable and make a mockery of it. As a communal past time.

They would think that we create sport out of pushing our physical limits so as to advance our physical limits at an optimal pace.

“The human performed two whole rotations! And while doing so, they removed their vehicle, spun it around their body, and placed it back beneath their feet before landing! However, clearly the humans valued the human who performed two and a half rotations a lot more. They call home ‘Tony Hawk’”.

Instead, they’ll pay their bottom tier employees to get berated by people with legitimate gripes, settle for a class action, and keep on sailing the skies.

I gotta say, I genuinely love this issue.

Like I’m a left leaning generic progressive white guy with a degree that includes a Sociology minor. This shit is so fascinating to me.

I don’t know many black people, personally. Maybe 10 humans I know (like… Might send a social media message to because we are casual acquaintances) are black. I live in a rural area. Two are vegan, but the rest do indeed love fried chicken. We joke, I’veasked. I mean fuck, So do I. What meat eater doesn’t? It’s such a bizarre stereotype from the start. I believe I’ve heard it has to do with slaves being given the wings and appendages of chicken? But I don’t know the veracity of that. Seems plausible?

Anyways, this.

Oh I’ve let it go. I still visit for porn.

When that goes, it’s over.

No, I mean “my ask.”

Not jargon. Recognized by the Oxford advanced learner’s dictionary. Perhaps your understanding of English is not “advanced”.

It is what I am asking. It is my ask.

What an absurdly pointless hair to attempt to split. It’d be one thing if you were being inquisitive, but you’re out here just confidently incorrecting people lmao.

Stay in school, kiddo.

My ask is 4x salary for in office.

It’s usually met with “Well, that’s not going to happen…”

To which I reply “I know, right?”

psst, some cultures kinda do this.

Montreal is basically on vacation in August, for example

I do believe a loan is a sign of good faith. Like a “we’re here for you. Don’t turn on us later, you owe us. Don’t forget that.” kinda move, geopolitically. It’s not like there exist international debt collectors that act on behalf of nation states.

Like socially, I agree with you. But the global stage isn’t a highschool cafeteria. That “loan” isn’t like a payday loan to a McDonald’s employee trying to buy a car.

I feel like this has occurred before… 🤔

Yes, absolutely.

Depends on your profession, but yes.

Lmao. Students. Nice. That’ll earn you support.
