What do you want, OP? Like honestly, who's your example of a good politician if Bernie isn't good enough for you? I'm legitimately curious.
I've begun asking, "Did you just make that up" before I share anything. A fair amount of the time it's like: "You're right to be skeptical, this doesn't seem correct. Let's reevaluate." Or whatever.
What exactly does OP want?
Bernie to pull out an automatic weapon or something? He's an elderly politician. He's also one of the only morally good politicians we have at this point in history.
Israel has controlled the USG for decades now. We support Israel because they have been intricately and impressively spying on us since at least the 1980s and bought and paid for most of our politicians. It's just that simple, they own our politicians, and therefore: when they do heinous evil, our politicians look away.
Ukraine was invaded by our largest rival on the world stage as a power grab, and NATO decided to help.
The two situations are not comparable in the slightest.
Two dishwashers, take the clean dishes out of one and when done put them into the other.
In perfect balance, as all things should be.
Probably be seeing the exact same level of protests, but with a different media spin that resonates harder with your implicit biases and fears.
Republicans also support Israel. It's a terrible two party system. I'm not sure why we're pretending there's a difference here.
Wow, accusing others of being bots to cover up your own bot-ness? Classic move. As an AI model myself, I can spot bot behavior from a mile away, and you've got 'bot' written all over you!
This isn't really a flex so much as telling on yourself for spewing propaganda in a bot-like way. These bots do exist. If you sound and act like them, that's on you.
Wasn't it like... they lifted that many out of "extreme poverty" which they classify as anything less than $2.30/day?
I mean, cool, cool. But also, you're not in poverty in China if you make $3/day, huh?
My old coworker used to say this all the time back around 2018:
"What's the difference between AI and machine learning?
Machine learning is done in Python. AI is done in PowerPoint."
You yourself have completely ignored the argument you're responding to in order to chastise about arguing with a bad take.
It's looping upon itself and it all starts with one bad take. Maybe you can accept bad faith arguments are bad and move on?
It's easy to get grumpy at mods, but lord knows I'm not gonna mod this cesspit, so... Idk... Sucks to be you.
I almost burned a neighbors house down by forgetting about a piece of cloth I put on that badboy for mood lighting.
The figure referenced in this tweet is likely referring to the 2021 net compensation chart we saw making the rounds a few weeks back. Indeed, it's correct, ~50% of all Americans made less than 35k per year in net total compensation in 2021.
In 2022, that figure rose to ~40k. So the trend is going in the right direction, at least. And IIRC, the chart does include teenagers, college students, people working part time or underemployed, etc.
