23·4 months agoWeren’t conservative white women and “trad wives” blamed wholesale for Trump’s 2024 win?
Shouldn’t this be giving Democrats a collective erection?

News@lemmy.world•Americans brace to start New Year without healthcare
78·6 months agoOof. Remember just a few years ago when saying “the Jews control the country” would get you labeled as an insane conspiracy theorist and you would get banned on every social media platform?
Things certainly flip flopped quick!

Daniel Tiger certainly seems to have become jaded by today’s political climate.
Hold up…do people think that “healthcare” is a viable alternative to proper diet and exercise?
Is THAT why Americans see “healthcare” as a human right?!
Ordinary fucking people man, I hate em.
Right there with you. I had to fully encapsulate my mattress (which was a brand new memory foam), spray poison all over everything, then heat treat the entire room until my blinds melted…TWICE!
My wife still freaks out if she sees a spot of dirt on the sheets, and that all happened 7 years ago.
You never quite get over a bed bug infestation.
You know what? You’re absolutely right!
It’s been at least 3 hrs since I J-ed off! LFG!!

politics @lemmy.world•We Desperately Need Maximum Wage Laws
319·8 months agoMonopoly busting, hell yes!! All the other ideas come from people who were unlucky enough to have nothing passed down to them.
I am sorry for your situation, but my father worked his ass off to leave me and my siblings something (it was meager compared to most I’m sure but it helped me out immensely when I needed a leg up), but blanket laws like this would have royally screwed me just because “well I didn’t inherit anything from my parents, so NOBODY ELSE SHOULD EITHER!!” mentality.
Even the cheapest Prosciutto is light-years ahead of whatever the fuck that Lunchables meat is made out of.
So what is the “right” way to use them?
So long as they are helping the “downtrodden”* it’s ok to see the numbers differently?
I have studied statistics. In my studies I learned that numbers do not lie, people lie. And, as was stated before, people can manipulate numbers to match their narrative.
I’ve seen studies published as “fact” just because the author manipulated the numbers to match their findings.
This is what we should base our outlook on?
*in this instance, “downtrodden” refers to the person or group deemed savable by those who are looking to be a savior.

1824·9 months agoSo…statistics are only valid when they promote your ideals?
Or is it that, in your mind, the stats that don’t run parallel with your ideals have obviously been misinterpreted or fudged?
Just trying to figure out your stance on statistical data.

Damn! I’m about to go get the free shit in Mexico!
Maybe they will get tired of subsidizing medical care for illegal immigrants and build a wall!
