Lmao just remembered people praising Biden for cutting child poverty in half despite the lynchpin of the claim (the $15/hr) hadn't even loving passed yet.

It's also pretty loving stark how little that gets used anymore.

They edited the report to say that $15/hr doesn’t matter, we did the math, no you can’t see it. Lol

It wouldn't surprise me at all, but Rick Wilson has been completely full of poo poo in the past. Remember in 2016 when he was the guy who was like "I know about this story that's going to completely sink Trump's campaign. It's coming out any day now!" for months and after the election he was asked about it and just was like "Oh yeah, it never came out"

i have no doubt he could be, but if people keep telling the committee to go gently caress themselves, i'd say it is pretty obvious

I'm just googling poo poo, but apparently this minimum tax only applies to companies with more than $868 million in annual revenue, and for the US to join, the Senate has to approve the treaty with a 2/3 majority.

Howard Schultz dropped out almost immediately and hated Bernie, it was Tom Steyer who was still one of the weirder people in that primary, never totally understood what his ambition for it was other than "midlife crisis."

The thing I like about this test is that, as far as I know, the researchers never studied how many of the kids had been lied to and jerked around in the past, and thus had no reason to believe that researcher would actually give them two cookies if they didn't eat the one.

Extrapolate this stupidity out, and you have those rationalist weirdos arguing about Pascal's Mugging, where you should just give your wallet to the mugger if he promises to return the next day with a high enough amount, when any rational person would look at the situation and say "Look, it doesn't matter if he promised to come back with $100 or $100,000, we both know he isn't going to meet you back here tomorrow. You're never going to see this guy again. You have better odds of winning the lottery."

also the stanford marshmallow test was originally designed to study willpower, the idea being that kids that scored better would later be seen to have better life outcomes

but instead what they inadvertently ended up observing and describing were the effects of socioeconomic conditions upon those children, which was clarified and confirmed by the later reproductions of the study


calling it explicitly racist is a really weird take though

There is a strong and good point she is so close to making but she takes the wrong turn.

What the hell is wrong with getting straight C's?

The issue isn't the grades, it's that legacy assholes take limited positions that should go to students that worked harder and desperately want the spot even if their grades and standardized test scores aren't top notch.

Plus there is huge grade inflation from certain schools.
