I have no clue what the first part of your post is implying but the fact remains that my percentage was pretty much spot on regardless if you think it was off.
I have no clue what the first part of your post is implying but the fact remains that my percentage was pretty much spot on regardless if you think it was off.No you were suggesting that our high incarceration rate was related to not killing enough people which suggests you think other countries are killing a ton of people for the same things that people in America are in prison for.
You need reading comprehension in the worst way. Nowhere did I say China kills 99.9999999% of their prison population. If you can try reading my post again and what I was referring to, I said we do not kill 99.999999% of our prison population. Try again.You were saying US has more people incarcerated because of few death sentences, and I showed you that even if we count all the death sentences as incarcerated instead, the population in prison is still less.
And saying shit like China kills 99.9999999% of its incarcerated population just makes us look stupid.
For convicted 1st degree murderers that are obviously guilty? Maybe. Anybody else? Yeah, that’s barbaric.Sounds barbaric, but we need to level up the death sentences in this country.
How is the US not killing 99.99% of it’s prison population relevant to us having the highest incarceration rate?I have no clue what the first part of your post is implying but the fact remains that my percentage was pretty much spot on regardless if you think it was off.
Hard to pay attention to the classism if you distract them with culture wars and the scapegoating 😅Also it's mostly poor people going to prison:
Poor people steal $100 from their boss, they go to prison.
Corporations steal millions from their employees, they get a slap on the wrist. Remember Grub hub used to steal tips? Uber/Lyft likely did the same.
****s like Elizabeth Holmes and SBF scammed billions, I bet they won't even serve more than 5 years and mostly because they stole from the wrong people.
Isn't it funny they call Russian billionaires evil Oligarchs, while worshipping American billionaires as innovators, entrepreneurs, philanthropist like heroes?Hard to pay attention to the classism if you distract them with culture wars and the scapegoating 😅
It’s been a huge problem in America from the beginning, it just manifests itself in different forms.
Why do you think we have all these Ivy League rich kids spending time speaking like uneducated hillbillies and pretending that they are self made when they were trust fund babies? Gotta convince their literally poor supporters that they are more like them and that things would be better for everybody if we just get rid of or subjugate the hottest culture war target of the month.Isn't it funny they call Russian billionaires evil Oligarchs, while worshipping American billionaires as innovators, entrepreneurs, philanthropist like heroes?
The wealth of Russian Oligarchs combined does not even hold a candle to the money hoarded by the US 0.1%, that just goes to show you the richest people in the US are at least a magnitude more evil than the "evil Russian Oligarchs", yet we believe everything they fed us through their MSM and you see MAGA boys making 40K gets mad when words of "taxing the rich" is heard![]()
As much as I don't want to admit, judging by the results of 40 years into Reagan's trickle down economy, the way most people vote, who we have in office, the increasing wealth gap between the working class and the elite, the difficulty to unionize, staggering wage and rampant inflation; I have to say at this point most Americans are either stupid or bad, or both...Why do you think we have all these Ivy League rich kids spending time speaking like uneducated hillbillies and pretending that they are self made when they were trust fund babies?

Anti-intellectualism is a mix of both. Stupidity motivated by hatred and personal gain.As much as I don't want to admit, judging by the results of 40 years into Reagan's trickle down economy, the way most people vote, who we have in office, the increasing wealth gap between the working class and the elite, the difficulty to unionize, staggering wage and rampant inflation; I have to say at this point most Americans are either stupid or bad, or both...
hoarded? What is great about this country is people can become extremely rich and built that way. Maybe you should learn the meaning of oligarch before comparing it to our billionaires.Isn't it funny they call Russian billionaires evil Oligarchs, while worshipping American billionaires as innovators, entrepreneurs, philanthropist like heroes?

I did not want to make you feel bad on Thanksgiving, but this is Friday so the truth goes:hoarded? What is great about this country is people can become extremely rich and built that way. Maybe you should learn the meaning of oligarch before comparing it to our billionaires.
Oligarch: a member or supporter of an oligarchy 2 in Russia and other countries that succeeded the Soviet Union : one of a class of individuals who through private acquisition of state assets amassed great wealth that is stored especially in foreign accounts and properties and who typically maintain close links to the highest government circles
Here is a definition without "Russia"

Definition and Examples of an Oligarch An oligarch is usually part of a small ruling class, and has influence and control over government leaders.
"Pay their fair share!" A cry us "MAGA" people have heard for years. Here is the truth of those evil rich paying taxes compared to all others.
The Top 1 Percent Pays More in Taxes than the Bottom 90 Percent | Tax Foundation (CHART INCLUDED in LINK)
In 1980, the bottom 90 percent of taxpayers paid 50.72 percent of income taxes. In 2011 (the most recent year the data is available), the bottom 90 percent paid 31.74 percent of taxes. On the flip side, the top 1 percent paid 19.05 percent of taxes in 1980 and now pay 35.06 percent of taxes.
Maybe the reason why "MAGA" people making $40k get mad when they hear "tax the rich" is because they actually go with facts and not feelings like you so much showed in your post. Facts over feelings, try it sometime.
An interesting piece of information from the chart below is that after the 01/03 Bush tax cuts, often claimed to be a tax cut for the rich, the tax burden of the top 1 percent actually increased significantly.
Or better yet how about Uber just return the pay structure to something decent.Up front tipping for food delivery is different.
I wouldn't up front tip a driver if I don't know how the driver drives, if the car smells or perhaps the driver is a total nut job.
No I don't think up front tipping for rideshare would have many takers.
Pig pen is the Uber social club. If you are serious about making money you wouldn't be there.View attachment 685575
185 people willing to take paxholes for $.32 a mile or less. lol. Pig Pen is packed no parking. Everyone seems to think that people will be flying into Los Angeles today. Lol armatures.
There's a reason why more n more pax are choosing priority pick up. To get a ride to work rather than being stranded.Or better yet how about Uber just return the pay structure to something decent.
Priority pick up is upfront tipping.There's a reason why more n more pax are choosing priority pick up. To get a ride to work rather than being stranded.
So, upfront tipping would make sense.
Asking uber for better pay never happened.
