Shaun owns, and it's extremely cool how since the US election he's managed to get so many Libs playing at being Left to show their rear end in a worryingly pathological way through basic sarcasm and no poo poo takes.

Unless he's joking about this being his real opinion, it looks like the one showing his rear end here is Shaun.

Oh so you don’t like him for being actually leftist it has nothing to do with shitposting.

Which is funny because he’s still pretty Sodem on Twitter nowhere near a Marxist.

Though how you can like his videos as well is beyond me, it’s the same poo poo

I honestly don't understand what is supposed to be so awful about his tweet. Is he so insanely different on twitter compared to his dry jokey videos that I'm supposed to read something nefarious into that? Am I supposed to agree with the dude who's a libertarian instead or what am I missing here?

he's joking but in a way that's supposed to make a salient point about the absurd degree to how stagnant minimum wage is especially when compared to both cost of living and productivity rising. if minimum wage was actually representative of the value people provide to their workplaces $50 min wage is not beyond the realm of possibility and is nowhere near as absurd as the actual, real inconceivably disparate wealth of the working and owning class today.

he is making fun of reactionary idiots like Vaush who started ranting about “pie-in-the-sky Twitter leftists” because Briahna Joy Grey correctly pointed out that the minimum wage should be $25 by now. to great effect, by the way, because it is making them insanely angry

If it's a good take, then it's serious, and you should take it to heart. If it's a bad take, then it's just a shitpost and you shouldn't take it seriously.

I too would like a $50+ minimum wage, but I'd also want some sort of guarantee that they also won't turn around and raise the cost-of-living/price to absurd levels so that nothing really changes.

In the meantime, I'm content to watch hedge fund managers cry over Redditors and other random people torpedo their fortunes.

This would only be true of the cost of living were primarily driven by labor costs, and if the market was efficient. Both of these are things we know to be completely false. Everywhere in America operates at minimum staffing to function anyways.

cats. here are two korean cat owners who i follow on youtube who create funny videos: (remember to turn on captions)

mejoo is a cafe owner with 4 cats of varying degrees of mischief. bongji is my favorite because he is the evil siamese cat who gets into the most mischief.

this video is titled "cat concert every night":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s-1qdNjL7g

kittisaurus or creamheroes (two channels run by the same woman) features 10 (?!) cats, which in pretty much any other circumstance would be extremely alarming, but it's evident throughout her videos that her cats are living the loving high life. these little dudes have a giant apartment all to themselves that's constantly spotless, are entertained with a wide variety of toys and silly little events that she comes up with for videos and are fed like royalty. these loving cats eat better than i do.

my favorite video, forever, is the national big head contest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-5-d-ib2WA

the ending, may surprise you.

the woman behind this channel originally only ("only") had 7 cats for a long while until very recently when she took in a family of three cats that were going to be euthanized. she originally only intended to foster them for a short while until she could find them a forever home, but then it was discovered the babies have FIP :( the woman running the channel has the funds and time to care for them so i think they are in the best hands right now

Shaun is a good Twitter tweeter.

I found this tweet from Chris Scullion (a good journo) useful as a simple 101 for the current situation, as someone who doesn't know poo poo about how the stock market works.

Shaun semi-regularly catches heat in here for having bad tweets since he doesn't spend 4 and a half months doing research, vetting sources and writing a script between each post unlike his videos.
