The idea of a de minimis is that it's not worth the time and money to collect the tariff when it would be so small.

People don't "like him for it" they like him despite it. Just because people like an unlikable person doesn't mean they like everything about him.

I'm loath to draw too big of a conclusion from one month when seasonal adjustments have been so screwy since Covid, but if this keeps up next month I'd say the Fed should start to cut rates in March.

I don't understand people talking about what coffee they're drinking on the internet. I'm drinking local cafe beans you've never heard of and I assume most people are drinking their local Cafe beans I've never heard of.

Two juveniles with guns and a hair trigger go to a large drunken party to celebrate a football team. Cool and normal and no systemic changes could have possibly helped.

Mike Bloomberg and Trump both bought Super Bowl ad space in 2020...neither won that election.

Alternatively, in the last 10 Super Bowls the AFC has been represented by the Chiefs or Patriots 80% of the time.

In India. US number is 35%, here are some numbers for Europe: https://i.redd.it/d8udyq9edyhc1.png

I thought 35%ish in the US was bad. 56% in Russia is one of the more shocking stats I've seen about their inequality.

That's very funny.

Average in the US for a 2 bedroom is $1317 per statista.

Triple that for a monthly income = $3951

x12 for annual = $47,412

/2080 for hourly full time = $22.79/hr

A 1 bedroom (or 2br with a $200/mo UBI) at $1100ish brings the minimum to $19ish.

A 2 bedroom but working 60hrs/week or using 50% of income on rent instead of 33% is around $15/hr.

Just trying to play around with the numbers to see what a real political proposal might look like. Feels great to meme a declaration, people start disagreeing when you start putting numbers to it.
