@UBERSOY1 >This is counterintuitive, and rightly so, since both countries are objectively poorer than Latvia, the least wealthy of the three Baltic nations
Based on what exactly lmao. Like,the concept of ppp is capturing actual purchasing power of money, not vibes.

“Americans prefer the suburbs since that’s where the majority choose to live.”
Is analogous to:
“Americans prefer car dealerships since that’s where the majority buy new cars.”
Revealed preference arguments break down when consumer choices are constrained or distorted.
Candace Owens is an affirmative action nightmare. Nobody would really know about her if TPUSA, PragerU, and Daily Wire weren’t thirsty for a black woman.
They’re not victims of Candace Owens. They’re responsible for her.
Fun fact:
I used a VPN & a throwaway SIM to create the twitter account that got me arrested, when I asked the police interrogator how they found me, they admitted they matched up the details of my stabbing that I posted about on the account to the police report I made. Pure evil
@GreatWhiteHQpe There is the NCAA which is structured akin to the European football league system and does have much cheaper tickets. But, the core fanbase for those are their student pop, alumni can be scattered around the country, and schools often being in small towns doesn't help
@GreatWhiteHQpe@FrenlyOfficer Pt 2. My (uneducated) guess is that it's caused by restrictions on the # of teams US sports cartels impose. In the European soccer market, even small city teams, equivalent to minor league teams in the US, can make continental championships.
@GreatWhiteHQpe@FrenlyOfficer Soccer games seem to cost significantly less in Europe compared to any of the six big spectator sports in the US, gap is larger than what I'd expect based on income disparities (especially considering how gung ho Euros are about goyball).
@realuneconomist@Boenau If your use of agency is to cheat to get ahead, then you don't belong in society and should be rooted out. That sort of behaviour is a cancer.
Redlining was banks trying to accurately price risk. Most people in redlined areas were White. Basically every piece of civil rights history you learned in school is similarly fake.
@VicctorianChad A lot of times when these buildings are well executed, people who didn't witness it actually being constructed just don't know it's new.
@Xionaba@LASHYBILLS He wasn't? Its mostly the other friend (not the one recording) doing shit talking. Boomer targeted him because he was the smallest and frail.
@BigYahuBucks@Bigfootpool@LASHYBILLS The crippled guy hardly said anything, it was actually the other friend (not the one holding the camera) who did most or the arguing.
@omar_dddg Too lenient of penal systems (short sentences) + the inevitability of the Northward drug trade (coke is almost exclusively grown in LatAm, Anglo North America is its biggest customer).
