Social Security wasn’t ever meant to be enough; it was mean to be something minimal.
People like to claim this but no one ever attempts to prove it because it’s right wing bullshit. It’s one of the reason used to justify the reduced value of the payouts against inflation.

He didn’t do it alone. It took millions of others to participate in executing the harm.

Of course. We are products of our time.
In previous times, even the richest of that time would rather have had a bed mate to keep them company in the darkness of the night.
- Comment on Curious 4 weeks ago:
Both.
Poor people didn’t have a home with multiple rooms. Children weren’t shielded from the concepts of baby making to the extent that they are today.
The idea that making a family isn’t family friendly is the result of recent cultural norms that are facilitated by our larger homes, cheaper beds, abundant bedding, whole home heating, etc.
- Comment on Curious 4 weeks ago:
Only because we’re still allowing prudish believed to dictate our lives.
One doesn’t have that go back far in history to find a time when everyone in the family slept in the same bed.

I second Kagi with the additional mention of their “lens” feature that allows results to be restricted to scholarly sources which is very relevant to the meme’s search needs.

Yes. My bad for a US centric take on an US newspaper’s reporting on US students.

Child labor laws are already being rolled back by republicans. You failed to acknowledge the recent creation of childhood. Claiming these are non sequiturs indicates a lack of knowledge of history and current political movements; a sophomoric perspective that you’re projected on to me.
Based on your response, I expect you to continue to dismiss what I say rather than taking the time to look at your internal logic and attempt to compensate for your blind spots.

Childhood is a recent invention. If it wasn’t for societies expectations for school and child labor laws, it would not exist.
Get rid of school requirements and the child labor laws will quickly follow. Then childhood goes poof.
- Comment on Biden Targets Private Jets in Hunt for Tax Revenue | The White House’s new focus on corporate aviation is drawing backlash from an industry that says it supports manufacturing. 1 month ago:
Oh no! Those executives might have to fly commercial to visit their manufacturing facilities, filled with underpaid workers.
It would be unreasonable for them to actually live near their employees.

You openly admit hating Apple so your perception is tainted.
- Comment on Trump Spurned by 30 Companies as He Seeks Bond in $454 Million Judgment 1 month ago:
Laundering money isn’t a get rich quick scheme.
You start with cash and end up with less cash, the launderer ends up with that “less” part.
Trump doesn’t have cash. He was doing the laundering.
- Comment on Scallops 1 month ago:
How interesting that god in their infinite wisdom would fail to account for the design flaw. Or maybe they were lazy and just didn’t care how these beings would appear to us.
Can an infinite being be lazy or fail to account for a design flaw? Seems less than infinitely wise to me.
And if it’s just a test, why is this infinitely wise being running quality assurance on his creation. Shouldn’t all that infinite wisdom have precluded the need for testing?

Ok, boomer.
- Comment on The majority of Americans are not engaged at work, 70% of managers have no training to lead a hybrid team and it could be killing employee engagement 3 months ago:
That was for clickbait. The data isn’t correlated to work from home but maybe might be related according to the author’s unfounded suspicions.
- Comment on Era of complex and ambitious TV is over, says Sopranos creator 3 months ago:
This article is based on a single script he’s failed to get green lit. For all we know it actually is too complex.
The quality and complexity of shows varies greatly between the various networks and services.
Most of us can think of at least one current show that has both quality and complexity.

Stop straddling the fence and the problem goes away.
- Comment on USB-C teardown with CT scans: Thunderbolt and more 6 months ago:
So the cheapest version of this cable is actually $69. Didn’t feel the need to point it out until now because I saw no point in quibbling over the actual price point.
- Comment on USB-C teardown with CT scans: Thunderbolt and more 6 months ago:
Cool story. Show me this equivalent cable. I would guess it’s an easily $50+ – most people have no use for expensive cables.
- Comment on USB-C teardown with CT scans: Thunderbolt and more 6 months ago:
I have no need for that cable, but unlike you I’m not ignorant in realizing some do and why they do.
- Comment on USB-C teardown with CT scans: Thunderbolt and more 6 months ago:
You didn’t read the article either.
- Comment on USB-C teardown with CT scans: Thunderbolt and more 6 months ago:
You clearly did not read the article or the discussion.
Your blind hatred for Apple and its market doesn’t make you smart or well informed.

I am also commenting on the style of the comments.
Insert meme here:
sardonic response: no way
calling some one a dick : thumbs up
- Comment on Will youtube eventually run out of storage? 8 months ago:
I have what is called allouttafucks syndrome. I can no longer suffer fools.
- Comment on Will youtube eventually run out of storage? 8 months ago:
Someone called me a dick but you’re upset with me for being mean.
Apparently name calling is ok as long as the mob agrees
- Comment on Will youtube eventually run out of storage? 8 months ago:
So if Google allows to runout of space the it willing. That is quite circular.
The amount of data YouTube is processing is not going to be affected by a small brigade.
Please cite when YouTube has lost content because of storage failure.
Do you understand the infrastructure Google has built around their services to prevent data loss?
I’m not arguing any fool with a cloud account cannot lose data. This is specifically about YouTube.
