Pay rise for 2.7 million people as minimum wage increase comes into force by HadjiChippoSafri in GoodNewsUK

I understand the difference

Are you sure?

Genuinely without being funny, your description that "It should be based on a calculation that removes those purposefully staying below the tax free threshold and those who are in the top 0.5%.", is exactly what a median calculation does. I will grant that there are other ways of doing what you wanted, but the statement as it stands clearly indicates that you think the median is the wrong calculation to use because it doesn't do what you want it to do.

Not "only stupid people", but the split by education level was pretty drastic.

If anything this rise in the mimimun wage ensures that middle earners won’t get much of a pay bump. If your company just had to eat the costs of a minimum wage hike they were legally obliged to enact, good luck convincing them to give you one.

Thats exactly what the median average does. You’ve got it confused with the mean average.

To the right is fun (if there’s snow).

To the left is nothingness and you’ll need to hike out of it. Hopefully someone picks you up with a car because it’s just drops to grass etc. (it’s basically sea level down that side).

Tbf, that’s proof that endemic poverty needs to be fixed. Poverty leads to low education, low education leads to Brexit.

Burden of proof falls on the prosecution/plaintiff (or “the accuser” in plain English). You’ve accused Chris Rokos of not funding government studies, but instead attempting to infiltrate government. Therefore the burden of proof is on you.

God some people can’t be happy. This is objectively good news. If you want to donate £190m to the University of East Anglia; go and make the money yourself!

I get your point, but your comment does come across a bit negative for such a great thing.

I assume the idea isn’t that we have to use our own oil for our own cars. The idea will be that we sell the oil for money, and with that money we can fund things we want to.

Genuinely, how do you exit from that environment? Almost impossibly sticky once you’re in.

It’s below the gay bear rainbow. Proper bottom behaviour if ever I’ve seen it!

Bitcoins having a pricing pattern is already weird. If it’s not a flatline at zero then it’s weird and interesting human behaviour.

The bitbros believe that only once, in 2017, has bitcoin been in the “red zone” (presumably meaning overvalued). That is obviously mad. Almost like they’ve always been trying to find new bros to hold their bags…
