Correct! There are tricks which make a huge difference.

US: “5 more minutes, Dad.”

I don’t have the data, but in HCOL areas a six digit salary doesn’t go that far. And the real point is how much downward pressure does it put on compensation for Americans who do have job mobility? How does the pay between these two population compare and change over time?

The H1B system makes it functionally impossible to change jobs, and employers can take advantage of that by depressing wages, worsening working conditions, and laying off other staff. Employers hold all the power in that relationship.

Was all I needed to read to understand what’s going on.

They won’t even spend the money. It just builds up.

At this rate all that’s going to be left safe to eat is Doritos and Cool Whip.

This makes the South Park arc even funnier. Maybe that’s why he’s sore.

It’s nice to see gaming covered in NYT at all. The article generally rings hollow to me. I’m not an industry expert, but:

• It’s easy to be profitable when you’re just making a sandbox and your players make the games, but at that point are you a game developer? (Roblox)
• High end graphics cards have become so expensive that people can’t afford gaming with good graphics
• AAA developers aren’t optimizing games as well as they used to, so only high end hardware would even run them
• AAA is more focused on loot boxes, microtransactions, season passes, and cinematics all wrapped up in great visuals. That’s at the expense of innovative gameplay and interesting stories. Making the graphics worse won’t get execs to greenlight better games, just uglier ones. And they’ll still be $70.
• Even when games are huge successes and profitable, studios are getting bought and shut down (EA, Microsoft, Sony?), so it’s hard to say the corps are hurting.

heavily left-leaning

Where’s the heavily left-leaning news? I’d like to consume some. Late-stage capitalism, rights of labor, single payer healthcare, CEO/corporate greed, abolish cars, eat the rich-type news would be nice to see somewhere.

This is way less than 10%. He’s a bargain.

She’d be into that, as would her supporters.

Do the downed planes become an excuse for even further escalation?

Sounds like the Lord of the Rings

We already have a well-developed forced labor prison infrastructure, and there will be plenty of farm work to do. The camps will pay for themselves, and enrich big corporations in the process.

shocked

Omg huffpo, that wasn’t shocked. That was Jost knowing exactly what would happen.

They got me with their clickbait this time 😢

Their landing page modal on my phone literally said “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” 😅

Yeah. And this website looks very right wing so they don’t include that perspective.

What was the point of shooting him when he was running away on foot?

Weird to have a “But” in that title. An “And” or no connecting word at all would make more sense. “But” suggests it was okay to influencer lawmakers if only he was truthful instead of spreading misinformation.

Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven’t played it, Oni was a quiet favorite of mine from around then. I don’t think it got a lot of attention at the time, or even today. This was Bungie near the end of its Mac-first pre-Halo era.
