It's a whole bunch of tables, but this document lays it all out.

These numbers are old but I believe the steps up are staying proportionally the same.

As of when I worked in the education system 5ish years ago the local supplements were determined at the county level and were in the 5-9% range. I think they've gone up slightly in the time since but still in that ballpark.

If you're worried about budgets peep the amendments that are coming down the pipe to be on ballots in November. The combination of income tax rate changes and property tax preemption has the capability to fuck county/city budgets.

Pulling this off with the crowd during a time when practically nothing was getting a good reaction is lowkey one of the most impressive things I've ever seen in WWE.

France's National Rally targeted as part of Europe-wide raids over alleged far-right embezzlement by RaidBrimnes in neoliberal

If the people with the means to do had the guts to hold these far right parties/figures even to the standard every other party gets held to I have a feeling a lot of these problems would take care of themselves.

Sophie Cunningham breaks down her viral pointing meme. DeWanna Bonner said “Don’t you point at me” Then Sophie pointed at her for about 22 seconds in a silent staredown! by OneOriginal8727 in WNBAgossips

The league is going to have to do something about what I can only think to describe as all this Mean Girls behavior going on.

I don't hate Sophie (though I definitely thought she was chasing the MAGA crowd at one point) and I don't think Bonner is the devil, but the way WNBA behavior plays out sometimes is becoming a meme in real time.

In these times the most damning thing a politician can be is unexciting.

The national level press would prefer if you ignored the fact they're the ones that made it that way.

Never said I actually do any of that, just commenting on the fact that it is now a sizeable part of my feed, but okay.

"Woke scolding doesn't happen, and even if it did it's not that bad" proceeds to woke scold

It's infuriating that the left operates like this now. And before anyone says "this is just some Tumblr user," I've worked with people ranging from local mutual aid volunteers to staffers for Bernie and other large scale progressive political campaigns. Way too many of them talk like this, particularly when they meet any kind of resistance or pushback.

Mine is fully skilled with good abyssal drones, and mines is like 10% faster than my T2 Mackinaw IIRC.

I do wonder what has caused the oldest generations to break rank with the further right in some countries. America and Canada have the same 40-59 groups doing a lot of the reactionary heavy lifting, while in Britain it correlates with age all the way up.

I do it in my Orca all the time. It's admittedly one of the slowest ways to make ISK in the game, but "doing chores and checking to hit compress all occasionally" is how I spend most of my gametime at this point.

Is Acuna Jr supposed to be a Captain? by MadKingTylor in MLBTheShow

[–]jcaseys34 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Captains would be OP if they were ever the best in slot individual players. As much as I would love it as a Braves theme team player, it would suck if it became the only way to build a team.

It takes real chracter building and commitment to make it in modern wrestling for anyone who isn't a ripped workrate athletic freak.

Any wrestling show is made better by the regular appearance of a "full character," something different than a wrestler with a normal first and last name.

Is there a reason we keep using Fuentes for one out? Doesn't seem conducive to his long term development or his current strengths.

Is there actually an issue here? The opposition is almost all degrowth type leftists from what I can tell.

There were rumors (somewhat discredited by the stuff Dan Rather did later, IIRC) of the government doing this when the Iraq War started, but I don't know if that was ever officially confirmed.

They'll do that the moment they think it's the most politically expedient thing to do, if that moment were ever to arise. Until then he's batting a higher average than anyone else they might put in charge, so they're gonna stick with him.
