The average commute commutes 30 minutes each way, traveling an average of 15 miles, for a total time cost of 250 hours for a job wherein you are paid for 2080 hours of work.

The cost per vehicle mile is now about $0.72 including all costs. The average commuter traveling 15 miles one way will burn $5,400 commuting. Man then there is the cost of childcare. For instance maybe your kid gets home at 4P and you get off at 5P. If you commute you’ll be back and 5:30 and you have to find a solution. One solution is one partner arrange to be off but that has its own cost. If you want to itemize the cost of having someone pick up and watch your kid its about $15-20 an hour 180 days * 2 hours or so. So up to $7000. This is not even counting the times that kids have the day off from school but mom and dad don’t or times a kid is sick.

That is to say you commit 12% more unpaid work + commuting costs for the privilege of being there in person. If the median worker earns about 60,000 they are incurring as much as $20,000 in costs in both time, transportation, and childcare.

Compare that to the cost of running the company laptop 40 hours a week 50 weeks a year is about $10. A home office can be had for $1000 ever. As far as the space I have one which I’ve worked out of in my tiny studio come on man. Are you really shocked that you have to pay someone more to come in?

Hell we haven’t even talked about the cost of living in the expensive places companies like to situate themselves vs the surrounding oft cheaper areas!

They thought they needed to also earn the majority which supports Israel as well which makes it awful hard to tell the truth and win everyones votes

They want to pass a law that says you have to get the majority of the majority of counties and they have 256 mostly small rural counties some with less than 100 people in them.

I did the math and you could hold the majority of the majority with as little as 4% of the vote.

If you try to be cute and take over a bunch of small counties the law could just be further amended or you know they could just not find your bodies.

Recipe for outright disaster as duplication of shit gets way out of control. We have too much already.

How about selecting reps independently from home state in a national election. Every million people get to send someone from anywhere. The dakotas can share one

The rich economy actually contributes

If we required an IQ test and general knowledge test equally of all parties and eliminated all those who don’t know anything about what’s going on and those 10% or more below average we would have a better run country save for the Republicans revolting and committing acts of terrorism.

If we divided the country all the rurals would have the option of moving to Trumpistan

The only people who say this know nothing about quantum or computers

It’s a mistake to imagine most regulation is just brainless nonsense. It would be like imagining the entire legal industry is composed of burglars suing home owners because they slipped in the kitchen whilst robbing the house and concluding we could easily do away with it.

Looser regulations is incredibly unlikely to effect only or even mostly the stupid or even only or even mostly the poor. Firstly the primary food supply for rich and poor right up to the 1% generally comes from the same ultimate sources the rich just A) mix some more expensive stuff in B) have people who fetch and prepare the food for them.

Also people are incredibly laughably bad at enacting food safety by voting with their feet even when a particular restaurant is making people sick. Oftentimes the actual sickness may take days to manifest and may not be connected obviously with the ultimate source. Now that is for things that at least directly sicken people. Things that are merely unhealthy may have an ultimate effect that is only visible at the population level where you see significantly more people get cancer in the next 10 to 20 years.

People who vote dem are almost as likely to own a gun as right wingers outside of your fantasies and imaginary friends

Imagine another 20 years of surveillance tech improvements. We are already fucked if we can’t turn this around in 20

If you are rejected by all of western women maybe just maybe something is wrong with you my incel friend.

Over here having your doctor would cost at least a $40 copay and wouldn’t get insurance to pay

Those people are fundamentally too stupid and too useless to work with.

60% of white men. 53% of white women.

I think you misunderstand. He didn’t have the financial wherewithal to acquire a home of any sort because a down payment was expected even of the shitty condo. He didn’t have the money then he doesn’t have the money now he’s on the same shitty treadmill that the rest of us in the permanent underclass are.

Are you capable of any of those things? Do you think the majority of people are?

Voting third party in a first past the post system with only 2 dominant parties not only throws away your vote. If your preference is Third party Harris Trump you are actually helping Trump win when you vote third party instead of the person who actually has a chance.

I’m not capable of raping people. I’m not capable of murdering someone for the insurance money. I’m not capable of organizing the liquidation of millions of people. The people that are capable of such acts are inherently evil pieces of shit. Being able to understand that such acts can only be committed by individuals who are morally evil doesn’t make me vulnerable to labeling innocent groups evil because I have a functioning brain.

Actually they are going to crash the entire economy rich people are going to buy everything at a 98% discount and rebuild as Russia 2.0 if Trump wins
