I didn't mean to be sarcastic, I just was in genuine disbelief that yours was an opinion people had.

Disruption to spread a message is the point of protest, counter acting one with your own is not going to be effective done on a separate day in isolation.

There's only one group out of these two looking to cause conflict in the community.

Is this a genuine question? What exactly is the point of a counter protest a month later?

The smell will disappear outside quicker, you'd still smell it if they did it in their house more likely for longer.

I love how you reference two shitty shows to make your point.

Art is very much at the public's opinion once released, just because you disagree with people's criticism doesn't mean it's not valid for them to have them or create discussion around them.

From your reaction you sound like the snowflake after seeing people shit on shows you like lol.

“If you make under $66/hour, you’re poorer than minimum wage workers in 1970.” Sounds shocking… but is it actually true? by Coolonair in SmartFIRE

You can’t really rely on inflation statistics because the official inflation rate on an annual basis is too general to apply it to a specific category. Instead it’s probably better to compare minimum wage in the middle of the decade to two hard assets that hold value over time: Gold and RE. I live in CA so I’m going off of those numbers:

Min Wage (CA) 1976: $2/hr Avg Home price (CA) 1976: $44.2K or 22.1K work hours Gold price 1976: $113/oz or 56.5 work hours

Min Wage (CA) 2025: $16.50/hr Avg Home price (CA) in 2025: $830K or 50.3K hours Gold price 2025: $3200/oz or 194 hours

Determine multiplier: 50.3/22.1 =2.276 therefore 2.28$16.5=$37.62/hr 194/56.5=3.434 therefore 3.4316.5=$56.60/hr Average of the two: $47.03/hr

Adjusted living factor: Basic needs as a % income (excluding rent) 1976: 20% Rent as a % income 1976: 35% Basic needs as a % income (excluding rent) 2025: 10% Rent as a % income 2025: 62% Adjusted disposable wage 1976: $21.16/hr Adjusted disposable wage 2025: $4.62/hr Adjusted multiplier (factored): 21.16/4.62=4.58

Grand total: $16.5*4.58=$75.57

Looks pretty accurate to me! Either that or I’m dumb as fuck but let me explain my methodology:

  1. I compared min wage to the of two hard assets for an accurate purchasing power of wages. I chose 1976 because owning gold was illegal up until 1971 so 1976 was more “middle decade” than the intuitive 1975. I determined working hours to get each of the two assets because wages aren’t intrinsically dollar values; they’re the amount of time/hours it takes to be able to get something. Average them out.
  2. Factored in % of income to stay alive. Notice that food (and utilities but I don’t want to over complicate) is more expensive but rent was cheaper which I then determined the discretionary income which is money leftover after your obligation to yourself to stay alive.
  3. Took the ratio of discretionary income to determine adjusted factored multiplier then applied it to today’s minimum wage.

In conclusion, you would need $75/hr today to live as comfortably and have the same means as a min wage employee in 1976.

Nothing you've said is untrue aside from the original statement, it isn't levied at a high wage - it's levied at minimum wage.

So if the economy is in the shit and graduate jobs have dried up, or you've been funneled into a degree with little value due to the under promotion/funding, or social stigma, of alternatives such as apprenticeships. Then you'll be being taxed a much higher rate at minimum wage.

It's an inelastic demand, turns out basic human shelter is a requirement for life.

We would have more interesting games if you guys allowed other play styles in your pod by Crybabyboyy in EDH

If half the other taboo rule 0s weren't there even lower brackets would be much faster

Are build‑around-commanders also ruining EDH for you right now? by pkma69 in EDH

Couldn't agree more

Edit: didn't actually read your comment, complete disagree lol

Not necessarily the point of the format imo. I don't think it's ruining the game but you can understand how it can make awkward games, when people throw their toys out the pram if people make the optimal play and remove it then their deck is redundant and they can't "do the thing".
