@SwipeWright Wokeness an fuck off. It is a disease with a cure. It is called honesty and merit. It lost so much ground so quickly because of the absolutely absurdity of it.

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@timgill924 In a way, you aren't wrong.

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@RepSalinas Your own people didn't show up. Focus and you might be taken seriously

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@Snowy20142 @DaaChazz Now, do that with 10k

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@Snowy20142 @DaaChazz You aren't wrong but...

Think of it this way. Bank gives you a credit card. You max it out. Let's say 1000.00 limit at 29%.

You are responsible and you make the minimum payment every month.

It takes 7 years to pay that off and the bank makes 120% not 29%

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@proximalcoast @mark_k I mean that or the default editor.

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@SteveOnSpeed @APompliano This is terrible but think of something: If your homeschool kid can read/write/math at 8+ grade, you are already ahead of the average public school GRADUATE and adult.

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@SteveOnSpeed @APompliano Homeschoolers regularly outperform public school on testing and the real universities love them for their critical thinking skills

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@SteveOnSpeed Let's be clear though . This is 100% the fault of the public education system. I would blame parents but generations have been indoctrinated to "trust"

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

Me reminding myself that there are multiple generations that think what you say on social media matters.

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@esrtweet @FreeSoilAndrew @grok Yep, it's like "smith"

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@AgozieDey4You I don't even know what you just said

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@Blackmorehealth @ayojoestar That would be financially stupid. Most employers that offer health ins pay for the employee . If you elect out, you are paying for everything .

Also no plan on the private market place can compete with a good employer provided plan

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@xrpant *consequential owners*

No wise person puts in 16 hours a day for a 100k payout. It better be at least 7 figures.

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@Blackmorehealth @ayojoestar False conclusion. Ambition doesn't pay the medical bill for your kid. If you are single, go for it. The moment you are married, you have this thing called responsibility.

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@TyKeynes And?

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@ajlamesa Doubtful, they won't want the pay cut

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@casbeataol I have never had to wait months. Hell I just got my ankle replaced. I had to tell them to wait.

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

Every time you send me a notification that I don't want or ask for, you risk me canceling you. @workspacedevs

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@SteveOnSpeed And then having their employees on public assistance.

Think about that. Literally, the reason wages are low like this is because the government allows them to be through public assistance and lobbying from companies like Walmart

[Joshua D. Drake @OffgridwithJD]

@SteveOnSpeed If the person is making a living wage , the children don't have to help.

What if they have multiple children?

One, out a condom on.

Two, we already have a welfare system that takes this into account.

What this really does is stop Walmart from paying below the line
