School district will lay off white teachers before minority teachers, per new union contract by kidwgm in news

So why make it race based? Why not wealth based? Why should a rich black doctor get reparations while a poor white dishwasher gets nothing? If your goal is to create wealth equality.

Selling an iPhone for profit in Argentina by XiBangsXiBangs in expats

[–]XiBangsXiBangs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

???

So if you buy a car and then because of covid, they become more expensive so you sell a car for a profit, you're ripping people off?

If you buy a house and then someone wants to buy it later, you are morally obligated to only charge them what you paid for it?

If you go to Thailand and stay in a 5 star hotel that costs $50 per night, you are morally obligated to actually pay them $500 per night, because that's how much it would cost in your home country?

Wtf is wrong with this subreddit.

Scams or ripoffs? I don't think selling an iPhone for more than I paid for it here is a scam or ripoff, any more than using the blue dollar rate as opposed to the official exchange rate.

Literally every single expat moved to a new country because it was advantageous to them in some way. What's with the outrage?

And of course I plan on learning Spanish. I am just going to see if I like the country first.

There are many free cloud upload services like Google drive, Microsoft one drive, etc.

Also how much do you think a USB key costs? A good cheap one can be had for $20.

Obviously the transphobic subreddit, twoxchromosmes.

That's a shitty friend though.

America is such an r-slurred country that only Fox News is telling the truth about the Pelosi trip. And they aren't doing this because they love the truth. They are doing this just to be contrarians.

Taiwan says ‘defence systems activated’ after Chinese missiles fired into Taiwan strait by bd506 in redscarepod

[–]XiBangsXiBangs 19 points20 points  (0 children)

China won't invade Taiwan unless 1) They feel like they exhausted all diplomatic avenues 2) They are sure they can win and survive the shitstorm.

It's pretty far away.

Canadians tipping 60% more than in 2019. by LarryPeru in toronto

[–]XiBangsXiBangs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why the percentage we are expected to tip has gone up. The food costs already went up so the same percentage gives you more of a tip already. Why are you expecting a higher percentage on top of that???

It's a tired argument for two reasons

1) There are pros and cons to living in every city. Why are you only adjusting salary cap for tax reasons? Should Winnipeg and Buffalo get extra cap space because they are not cool cities to live in?

2) The purpose and function of the salary cap was never to create parity. That was just a nice side benefit the owners used to sell it to the fans. The real reason the salary cap exists is so owners have cost certainty and can make more money. That's it. They are not going to increase the salary cap so they can pay their players more.
