one thing a lot of progressive Americans don't grasp is that meaningful Scandinavian-style redistribution requires significant tax increases on the merely modestly rich
3 Dec 2025
I've seen many people applaud the Dell move, because it's voluntary and simple. (Unlike forced taxation into the fiscal maw).
But another interpretation is that it shows how the juice from the squeeze, of simply redistributing billionaire money to the poor is fairly modest.

this is true, marriage gives you the freedom to discover that with a mustache, you look like a relief pitcher from the early 80's who blew out his shoulder and now sells used cars

"people in relationships are free, they just have to make sure one other person doesn't hate them. Which is easy since that person already likes them."
this is why i tell married men to grow out their hair, mustache etc, your wife isn't leaving you over a dumb haircut

Wow! What a win for public health! Now we can eat as many skittles as we want without exposure to potentially harmful dyes!
Starting next year, Skittles, M&M's, Starburst and Extra Gum will be available free of artificial colors to consumers nationwide. abcnews.link/eqrOH0F

this is kinda the logical conclusion of the obsessions with dyes, additives etc versus simple macros. what if we had healthy skittles?
This mom is going viral for making “natural” skittles by removing the artificial dye

it's extra ironic that the bad jobs number actually made it more likely that the Fed will cut rates

Polling *already* indicates that Americans think the labor market is not in good shape

The president is going to try to suppress any negative information about the economy.
People aren't dumb enough for this to work.

So is it fake data created by a Biden appointee or is it proof everything is working as intended
I was told 6 months ago that Americans losing jobs and the foreign-born gaining jobs was an irreversible demographic fact.
Turns out you just needed a new president and a new immigration policy.

"behaving erratically" because you can't get your drink on during a work trip? who does the diplomatic security service think they are, the secret service?

Reportedly, the agent in question was "behaving erratically" and "became irate" when hotel staff refused to reopen the bar beyond its normal hours. brusselstimes.com/1526014/br…

this is, no joke, a core insight of Bloomberg News' pricing strategy

Seriously you guys should sell a premium service even if it’s the same as the regular news. People wrongly attach more credibility to higher priced commentary
