It's in the item description so I assume it's written on there. TeePublic just prints jpgs on cloth, so they wouldn't alter it for the description.

Again a very likpatous story
I was curious about "Meme Policeman" so I looked at their Twitter and their profile says "to protect and serve against false and misleading memes. I immediately knew when I saw it that they only care about attacking left wing positions, and that there wouldn't be any right wing memes called out on their timeline. I didn't spend too long scrolling but I saw enough that I feel justified in saying I was correct. I'm sure if you called them out on it they'd just say "Well yeah there are false and misleading right wing memes too but left wing ones are worse so we focus on them more."

Actually I think you'll find that since garages are not the biggest part of a house, that cars require very little space and therefore logically stadiums are actually bigger than parking lots/garages, checkmate progressives.

He's real loving stupid. He's so bad at life that he's no longer allowed to tell anyone what to do so he's just riding out the contract listening to Trump rallies at max volume in his office.

He doesn't talk about where he knows I can hear, because I shut him down hard when he does. One time he started crying because I kept asking him to prove Obama had a secret UN army waiting to overthrow Trump.

Another coworker and I had to talk him back from the Flat Earth ledge a while back. I simply cannot overstate how stupid and credulous he is.

Ah yeah the old "Pay a worker 7.50 instead of 7.25 so you can say you're paying higher than the minimum wage" trick that businesses have been using for years to manipulate people into thinking that minimum wage laws are outdated and unnecessary, and there's no need to raise it, in fact we should just get rid of it. And it works too, as proven by that dipshit.

That's not even taking into account that minimum wage should be higher than 16 dollars an hour just adjusting for inflation anyway, even ignoring the high inflation we've had the past few months.

Anyone who uses the "only affects 1% of the workforce so is useless and changes nothing" argument inevitably also claims minimum wage will cause runaway inflation somehow

Hurr, but you see, if we increase minimum wage, then the businesses will just raise their prices to offset the money they lose in wages.
Clearly this is the fault of the workers and I am very smart.

It would be simple enough to prove this by looking at median wage though, right? If they are pulling that trick to make the number of minimum wage earners look disproportionately low we could just extrapolate our criteria to the % of workers making within, say, $1 of minimum wage yes? How much will the % jump if you expanded the criteria a bit?

I've seen things in the past that look at how many people get affected by any given minwage hike and IIRC it's in the mid teens to twenties of percentage of all workers. Unsurprisingly those close to the new minimum are often upset because of Crab Bucket.

Maybe it's appropriate. This is the face of someone who's been left behind by society, unable to meaningfully contribute or understand the world around them.

They've just been told that high gas prices often accompany economic expansion, and their world is shattering in front of their eyes.
