Because inflation hits everyone (to different degrees) but unemployment spikes affect ~5%. Also because people feel like they earned 100% of any raise even if much of it was based on inflation, people feel entitled to real wage gains similar to their nominal raise.
100%. Socializing together might make it tough to prove that prior messaging was unwanted harassment, but women should also be allowed to spend time with imperfect people of their choosing without fear of assault, especially when those people have power & setting boundaries is easier said than done.
Yeah well, the sooner she gets pregnant by Jeff, the sooner she can enjoy a ~1 year reprieve from having to fuck Jeff.
“Barely staying ahead” is literally more accurate than “barely keeping up.”
Weak real wage growth is still positive & that contradicts the people he is really arguing with, some of whom seem not to understand real v nominal in the first place.
I think Trump is merely claiming that the Iranians agreed to two things (shelving their nuke program & fully reopening the straight) that they didn’t actually agree to and now he’s mad.
It doesn't take a medical degree to see malignant narcissism if not sociopathy in Trump's words and actions over many years of being a public figure. As Stancil shows, his personal limitations are permanent traits that harm the world & are not solvable through policy debate or political constraint.
Not only is his value limited to bullshitting and self-promotion, he's been credibly accused of repeatedly raping a child and probably deserves to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison. Fuck Altman and the people who tolerate his deceit in pursuit of profit.
While I agree that PDX is an easier win than LAC, GS might see LAC in the 2nd play-in game anyhow, so playing to lose feels like bad mojo when you want to see what does/doesn't work against motivated opposition. Hasn't the lineup been too variable already? Why interrupt Curry's reintegration?
everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability
They could sell Customs passes to the plutocrat set to fly their private planes to sanctuary cities. Human traffickers get a special discount along with the Rubio cartel.
My guess is that it’s Tuesday in Iran now.
I’m so bored by the discourse.
Leftists want credit for beating Harris but no blame for electing Trump.
Only Democrats have agency; only Dems deserve criticism.
If a leftist did something awful last week, they’ve grown and we owe forgiveness. If a Dem voted wrong on a bill in 1996, they’re evil.
Only the true dudes are too dude for the NCAA Tournament :)
How about we leave it as “fascist goon.” It does seem like a disproportionate number of them are compensating for some unresolved psychological issue or another, but I don’t see how discussing that will actually help defeat them.
The shipping companies charged senders or recipients in order to pay the tariffs being directly collected from them by the govt. I bought something from Belgium and I paid UPS $150 before they would deliver it.
If UPS and other parcel delivery firms are included, that might still flow some refunds down the chain bc pocketing refund $ when they have a record of who they collected from would be outrageous
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Then track inflation of the other inputs bc rent going up 5% YOY in CA would be unsurprising
The point stands… considerably higher wages for much of the staff only resulted in modest price increases AFAICT.
It’s less than 25% (bc some jurisdictions already had wages higher than $16) and the price effect on non full service restaurants estimated at 5% but I didn’t see analysis of what % of labor costs are at min wage (not all, even for true “fast food”) & whether there are differences in that b/w MSAs /
I will admit that it gives _me_ some pleasure when you do so because it feels like winning to be so obviously right. (Is it?) Thank you for your public service AMK.
Yes of course it is all so very obvious!!!
No it doesn’t “very clearly say” that and I never argued that it would be a good idea to pursue jurisdiction stripping but nevertheless article 3 says what it says and Congress needs to reassert its policy making prerogatives or it’s going to be Roberts court Calvinball IOKIYAR forever.
And yet it clearly says that Congress can limit jurisdiction of the federal courts right there in Article 3, which also quite famously does not explicitly describe judicial review. There’s no easy way around the problem of rogue branches abusing their powers like the current executive and SCOTUS are
No I’m not you made all that up in your head. The OP was about codifying an expansion of abortion rights. There’s no rights violation in play that makes any of your analysis germane. At this point I trust the people and our representatives to defend my rights more than the Roberts court!!
So back to judicial supremacy then… sigh. The thing about codifying Roe and not some hypothetical violation of due process is that the Constitution doesn’t cover abortion & Congress would be expanding our rights. Legislatures should set national policy where the constitution is ambiguous!
I’m literally quoting article 3 and the point is that the Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to make exceptions to the judiciary’s jurisdiction that would otherwise include being finders of fact and interpreters of legal meaning.
The Constitution is not a law???
Yeah that’s the supposed point of enumerating the powers in Article I sec 8 & also a bullshit excuse the federalists had for not including a bill of rights in the Constitution. After the bill of rights was added, it was 12 more years before SCOTUS appointed itself the arbiter in Marbury v Madison.
In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
