In the 1980s, it was possible for a McDonald’s worker to afford a house on their salary alone due to lower housing costs and higher relative purchasing power. For example, in 1980, the average home price was around $47,200, and minimum wage workers could feasibly save for a down payment with disciplined budgeting[5].

Today, this scenario is nearly impossible. Housing costs have skyrocketed while wages have stagnated. A full-time McDonald’s worker earning $8.75/hour would gross about $13,811 annually, far below the income needed to afford even modest housing without spending more than 30% of their income on rent[2][4].

Yeah the main point of using signal to get around the presidential records act, which is very illegal

Also doesn’t apply to Resignation calls.

You can protest the bombing of yemen and you will be doing a noble thing and get zero attention and have zero impact.

If you clown on them for inviting a journalist into their secret consequence free war chat - you will recieve lots of attention and potentially play a part in forcing some of these gouls to resign.

Of the American public, 40% see themselves as conservative, 40% see themselves as moderate, and 20% see themselves as liberal (25 in a good year). source

This should explain to you why Obama was openly against gay marriage when he was running. It should explain why a woman democratic candidate tries to run as a moderate even when her voting record is left of bernie sanders. Everything you hate about liberals is because they have a more accurate understanding of the electorate than the average progressive.

There’s nothing the American people won’t sacrifice for more treats

There’s considerable more happening now than in 2017. They hust aren’t getting media attention because the media has been folded in.

Feels like they’re trying to cause a global depression that lets them buy everything on the cheap.

I vaguely recall it being something about refugees or Palestine

Checks out

There’s a multitude of reasons, my personal favourite is that men are highly aggressive sexual creatures and the stigma against homosexuality is hindering our ability to form fulfilling relationships with our male peers.

Just crack open a history book, looks like a lot of the masculine activities came with a considerable amount of gay sex. Like, it seems like the main draw of joining an army to go to war is that you can fuck a bunch of dudes the whole time you’re away on campaign.
