I genuinely feel bad for the people who haven’t seen The Odyssey because it’s “woke” or “historically inaccurate” (whatever that means for a fictional story). Your hate has blinded you to the point where it has tainted your ability to appreciate media.
@DrDavidMiano@EternalGamrrst i think a better retort to this is that helen of troy was hatched out of an egg, so complaining that her being black takes away from “historical accuracy” is dumb
@BrendanDaGawd forgive all the racists it’s actually for statistics because being hispanic is technically an ethnicity not a race because hispanics are from European discent. Not that those words mean anything other than for civil rights act compliance

$19/hr adjusted for inflation.
The reason why you could afford to live on $15/hr ten years ago is because in most cities the unskilled wage floor is higher than $15/hr.
@AndrewHilaryUS People who think that the economy is somehow doing worse than in the past or that people are doing worse than they were at any point in history pre-2012 are simply misinformed. The effects of COVID were widespread and led to more income inequality, sure. But the economy is still
@StatisticUrban People don’t understand what real income is lol. People tend to look at the past as nostalgic and better than it was (“rosy retrospection” - look it up). The poverty rate is lower than it was at any point in the 1950s and 60s, and extreme poverty is much lower now than it was
@RaxKingIsDead It’s a shame the quality of any undergraduate degree in the business college at most universities is so bad. About to go to grad school for economics and most of the people in the applicant pool have never taken a calculus class… when all of economic theory is based on calculus
