Thank you! TIL Black people were mocked for liking those foods. They are the best, racists are only hurting themselves if they don’t eat it!

Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.

The article said “.25 - 6 hr per day”. I interpreted that to mean 1/4 of the day (6 hours). While not as good as 24 hours, it is definitely not a paltry 15 minutes.

As the article states, there are laws limiting the pay of federal employees. The IRS can’t match the $500k salaries the corporate tax lawyers get.

Maybe, just maybe, Gen-Z is not saving as much for the future because (1) they have less money to save due to inflation, and (2) they don’t foresee a viable future. These reasons can also explain the parenthood rate dropping lately.

|Among the arguments are that the program violates the Fifth Amendment’s “takings” clause because it allows Medicare to obtain manufacturers’ patented drugs, which are private property, without paying fair market value under the threat of serious penalties.|

This is an invalid argument, because currently the companies are receiving unfairly inflated market value, and Medicare plans to negotiate down to a fair level.

So when this bubble bursts, we’ll plunge into a depression?

Let’s look forward, not back.

How much money did you have in the bank to justify the bank paying bonuses? How’d you get the money to buy stocks?
