"Ordinary consumers don't have reliable data on relatively subtle pricing trends and are forced to rely on secondary sources" does not mean "poor people have it good." The problem, it seems, is that you simply cannot read or think.

Three-cueing is a nightmare from which we will never awaken
Told you he’d just go back to telling poor people they’re stupid for not knowing how good they have it.

Apparently “America First” means promising foreign countries financial assistance from US taxpayers but only if they vote for the incumbent president trailing in the polls.

$1 billion is an annual $100,000 salary for ten thousand years.

$780 billion is an annual $100 MILLION salary for almost eight thousand years.

No one is worth this. Tax breaks, wage theft, and not paying for what you steal from the planet is where is money came from.
pretty stunning chart

- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

the challenging thing about a genuine education is not the part where you boldly tell your teacher she's wrong and everyone claps. the challenging thing is when you tell her that and then realize that you're the one who's bullshitting. humility in the face of reality is the point.

what's really funny is that the extremely specific example he gives here is something you could only possibly learn from a broad-based education in history and the humanities

I don't have all the answers, but anyone convincing you to be mad at dems for what donald and the republicans are doing, shouldn't be trusted anymore than someone at your front door trying to sell you an extended car warranty.

When your entire campaign is “I was a teenager a few years ago,” you don’t also get to pretend your horrible judgment and, frankly, evil choices are long ago forgotten.

Stop defending Republican volunteers if you want anyone to take you seriously.

Pam Bondi essentially said we shouldn’t worry about the Epstein Files because the DOW was over 50,000.

Uh… the DOW would like a word.
