Tiny Brontosaurus posted:It's a racist Just-So story, please stop spreading it. It's cool that you like how racism makes people uncomfortable, but please stop. How can you go from "violent crime is caused by bored young men" to "abortion does not impact violent crime rates"? There's not nearly enough data for it to be the sole explanatory variable or anything, but if abortion plays a role in depressing birth rates, it will also depress crime rates. And there is plenty of evidence that access to comprehensive reproductive health services does in fact reduce birth rates. If I'm not mistaken abortions historically fall at something like 1/5th of live birth rates. Beyond that estimating the impact of better access to other forms of birth control and reproductive health education would probably be much harder to create a definitive estimate for, but I don't think it's at all a stretch to suggest that things like proliferation of hormonal birth control would also depress birth rates. The question at that point would only be a magnitude of the effect and the relative impact compared to other factors that have decreased violent crime. "Providing greater agency to women over reproductive matters may decrease violent crime rates in the long run" is probably a better and less emotional presentation of that argument than "poor mothers getting abortions may decrease violent crime rates in the long run". Legalization of abortion simply happens to be the most clear-cut (and controversial) change in policy in that regard, while other improvements were more incremental. quote:The better hypothesis that has been floated and includes more evidence ascribes it generally to just an aging of the population. Young people commit more crimes. Fewer young people -> fewer people committing crimes The aging of the population is a direct result of decreased birth rates (death rates have an impact, but have not gone down nearly as fast in the period in question), which are directly impacted by increased access to reproductive healthcare (including abortions).

BWM: Someone took a promotion at my job that will only raise their hourly pay by thirty cents. It comes with a cost that will be at least $1000 a year.

quote:stuff about abortion BWM: caring this much about your credit score. quote:Hey everyone, so I'm 18 and got my first card in december with a $750 line of credit which I maxed due to lack of steady work, needing to buy food, and quite a few other expenses which added up. I always made consistent payments but also consistently used my card, keeping me at a gross 97% utilization. Well I've picked up a handful of jobs now and have paid off $500 in two weeks last billing cycle and just paid another $80 today and will have the whole card paid off this week. It feels great. I had a 646 last month and I assumed an increase was inbound but somehow it's now a 636. Is there any reason for this? Thanks everyone

When I worked retail, there was a "donut hole" in career progression. The assistant managers got paid about as much as an average performing hourly associate, but the assistant managers were on salary and forced to work an extra 10-15 hours a week without overtime, so they were actually much worse off from an hourly basis. The hours never slowed down, but they wouldn't beat a high-performing hourly associate on an hourly basis until they were promo'd a couple more times to area manager and then department manager. In our region there was a commissioned hourly associate dude who was a total badass and was pulling down $90k/yr, which was more than his store manager was making.

curufinor posted:this is the salutory thing about capitalism, in that the rate of profit decreases, and often by a lot, but it doesn't work salutorily in practice because the accumulated capital doesn't get redistributed after it does its useful work. that latter fact is why the koch brothers can do anything, having inherited billions of daddy's money. same deal with orange man I hope I'm not first person who noticed your millennial -> snake people script, because it would be a shame so many missed it.

A scam that is prevalent in NYC has reared its ugly face in NJ. Here's how it goes.. A man will come in your establishment in a suit and tie. He will say he works on "behalf" (keyword) of The Department of Labor. He will hand you an official looking business card that reads something like "Compliance Officer... Labor Regulations".. He will then ask to see a series of compliance signs in the store ~ most of which you will not have. He will then pull out the laminated official looking signs from his briefcase. He will be a "good" guy and let you purchase the signs from him for about $175 and avoid any tickets.. 100% scam...

LLCoolJD posted:Re: lead exposure and violent crime rates - there is no single explanation. Greater police presence, smarter policing, the flight of more prosperous citizens to less accessible suburbs and enclaves, and ER trauma units saving a greater percentage of patients with gunshot wounds all factor in as well. That's the thing, there's a bunch of different explanations but lead fits really, really well, across a bunch of different demographics and even different countries. In many cases much better than the other contributing factors fit, especially at smaller scales. Like lots of things contribute to crime sure but lead levels contribute to crime a whole fuckin' lot more than anyone previously thought.

I've already explained why the abortion -> crime rate connection hinges upon a racist assumption. Since you agree with this racist assumption I guess we all learned something important about you today!

Underwater on an 8 year note for a truck at 14.5% interest bought without savings, but I'm in a better place and have a bangin' credit score of 653 so can someone help me refinance at a lower cost? Leon's stories are like raw fentanyl straight to the urethra, but this BWM still made me feel something again.
