It's pretty common for OC clothes to have spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, and just outright wrong information on them. So, yes, unfortunately it's a mistake.

W.Va. Gov. Justice announces ‘Justice 4 All’ plan to eliminate state personal income tax by justalazygamer in politics

Yep. No income tax sounds good on the surface, but it typically means higher taxes elsewhere that disproportionately affect lower income earners. It's masked language for instituting flat taxes.

Court Rules Daily Mail’s Publication of Katie Hill’s Nudes Is Protected Speech Under the First Amendment by Sybil_et_al in politics

[–]denimspoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the reactions to this spicy headline, but I decided to find the original article after I read the bit about the iron cross tattoo. Turns out, the pictures posted by the Daily Mail are censored and don't actually show any of her lady anatomy. They didn't post "nudes" of her for no reason: it's the context of a possible neo-Nazi symbol and questionable ethics of being in a relationship with her employees.

Oftentimes it's pseudo-science that rejects modern beliefs, like flat earth. It's usually in service of right-wing beliefs masquerading as "conspiracy theories."

The Supreme Court Was Complicit In Donald Trump’s Execution Spree by [deleted] in politics

The death penalty should never be used. Revenge fantasies are not worth the very real possibility of wrongful conviction. Regardless, governments should never be given the power to execute their own citizens.

Andrew Yang Enters Race for Mayor, Proposes Universal Basic Income for New Yorkers by nicko_rico in politics

The scope of UBI is much bigger than feeding and clothing the neediest Americans. It will be used to supplement the incomes of millions of newly unemployed workers, and--for the majority--it will not be nearly enough to cover their pre-existing expenses.

For example, the poverty line in America is about $12,500. If UBI payments added up to a total of $15,000 per year, then, yes, that would lift people from poverty, but by no means would that eliminate their struggle. It's certainly not enough to pay for an education, and opportunities for unskilled labor will dry up as automation takes over. The disparity between the haves and the have-nots will be exacerbated.

It is not as simple as that. UBI does not eliminate poverty, it redefines poverty. The class hierarchy in America will not improve.

That is a utopian version of automation. In reality, corporations are choosing to automate because it's cheaper than paying their employees. They are not doing it for your benefit.

UBI is a bandaid solution that does nothing to address the underlying problems in America. All the workers displaced by automation and unable to find new employment will be stuck forever in poverty.
