@r_u_thinking@wtfwestworld@michaelevknight hard to be patient for the economy to correct itself when you're living in poverty making less than $20k a year and are one bad day away from being homeless and the people in power don't give a shit about the working class you ignorant fuck
@DarkPrincessVA@Schaffrillas In the entirety of NY state, clearing and salting roads is the responsibility of the city/state. However, clearing the sidewalks is legally the responsibility of the property owner it sits in front of.
Recently, the folks behind @wtyppod had been asking around for serious journalists to write about their show. I might not be the former, but I am the latter, so here is my best shot:

Everyone in Philadelphia: go buy tickets for tomorrow's (Monday December 15th) @wtyppod live show at https://t.co/smcS0EqclB
It's a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides.
It's a hoot.
@Pat02960111@AsmusRA@middle_class_us $410,800-$512,800 for the avg house in the US with an income on $13,920-$33,600 on minimum wage in 2025
$142,300-$192,500 for the avg house in the US in with an income of $23,040 on min wage in 1970 (adjusted for inflation)
I wouldn't call that wild difference 'cherry picking'
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos argues that ‘BARBIE’ and ‘OPPENHEIMER’ would have been just as big on Netflix.
“There’s no reason to believe that the movie itself is better in any size of screen for all people. My son’s an editor, he watched ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ on his phone”

@Pat02960111@AsmusRA@middle_class_us bud a burger flipper could afford to buy a house and a car in the 70s, today a burger flipper can barely afford to rent a cheap apartment. Get real
@Pat02960111@AsmusRA@middle_class_us buying power does not mean literal value. yes with inflation the minimum wage in the 70s is equivalent to about 12/hr today, but everything is drastically more expensive today than it was in the 70s. To match what people were able to survive on with that money it'd be $66 today.
a couple weeks ago I found out one of my oldest viewers passed away
she started following when I had 100 viewers
she was super active in chat, funny, and helped turn my goofy dream of being a streamer into a full fledged career
she was also trans, and my community was one of the few places she felt comfortable expressing that in
so today in her memory im doing a charity stream for the Trevor project
ty to anyone who tunes in or donates 🙇♂️
rip kanabana ❤️
@knowpium@GwenShmoople ahhhh there's the miserable fuckface, its genuinely hilarious how desperate you are to shit on trans & gay people. It's almost like you are obsessed 🤣
