Huh, what puts it over the original for you? It was good, but I didn't feel like it topped Knives Out

You can't compare the modern bottom 1% with the historical 50% and call it a valid comparison!

You're using a dishonest comparison to try and gotcha Stancil!

You're not using the median either, though. You're using a median for one end but not the other! It's not a valid comparison if you're comparing two different things! It's not a gotcha, all I'm saying is you can't make accurate comparisons if you use two totally different measures.

Median wage is not heavily weighted by rarer people with huge salaries. You're thinking of the mean. We use the median instead of the mean precisely to avoid that problem.

You could also compare the bottom 1% of full time workers for both time periods if you really want to use modern federal minimum wage, I guess, but I don't imagine that data was really tracked back then.

This is all based on 2025 BLS data for weekly earnings for full-time workers. I divided by 40 to get the hourly estimate. Just the first thing I saw when looking it up. Maybe you can find better numbers, but I don't think your comparison as you made it is useful

If we use 2025 female median wage ($26.95), it would be just under 4 hours to get to the same 107ish dollars you use for your post. And if we compare median earnings for adults without a high school diploma (18.75), it still comes out to 5.7 hours of work to afford the shoes you reference

Why are you comparing median wage to federal minimum wage? Those are two different standards. On top of that, a very small amount of people (1.1 percent according to the BLS) make the federal minimum wage, so it's even less of a fair comparison than that suggests.

I think the franchise would be much improved by attempting to explain all that, yes. I want to see the misbegotten timeline that results, and I think we're all lesser for not having it.

This is actually a pretty standard and unremarkable move, as evidenced by Justice Jackson issuing it.
But most people won't believe that for several good reasons.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.
The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

He has mentioned it. Basically saying that, iirc, that there's likely a difference in running something like a campaign which is very driven by Mamdani's personality, and the mayorship. I don't think it's an unfair point, but I don't think Will is too hung up on it either, all things considered

A person not receiving a credit worth a specific amount is mathematically equivalent to taxes for all being lowered by that amount and that person being penalized by the same amount. Everyone pays the exact same amounts in both scenarios.

Any tax credit can be reframed as a tax penalty for everyone not receiving the credit, regardless of the fine details on how that penalties or deductions are actually implemented. That's all my toy example was meant to show.

It is identical to a child tax credit, just framed differently. You can, for example, make everyone pay 25% and then knock 5% off for people with kids (Child Tax Credit), or you can make everyone pay 20% and then charge an additional 5% for people without kids.

I'm not sure if Vita Nostra is urban fantasy, per se, but it is very very good. A fantastic answer to the age old question of "What if Lovecraft wrote a boarding school coming of age novel and also really hated kids?"
