I worked union construction for 15 years and 90% of those guys are die hard MAGA
Haha, it’s usually worse than that. Especially if you do manual labor and don’t have a union. Friend of mine was receiving 6% of the value of his labor after we calculated it.
Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you calculate the “value” of one’s labour? Like how would you do this for a school teacher?
Different schools have different pay grades, different subjects, etc.
If a private school makes 100 million a year in profit and pays you, the only employee 6 million that would be 6 percent of your value. I think.
I’d give 100% of my paycheck to a child that eats pedophiles
Buddy you have got to rephrase this.
It’s not my phrasing, take it up with the OP.
You’re interpreting a child being the subject of the statement. For this to be true, the original text would need to say ‘a child’. Only then would the sentence mean there’s a child going about eating paedophiles
No I’m not, I’m interpreting it as the object of the preposition by. The lack of hyphenation means that child is either a noun which is eating pedophiles or an adjective describing pedophiles who are eating. Presumably neither is what the author intended.
It says “stolen by child eating pedophiles”. The preposition “by” takes a noun phrase as its object.That noun phrase is “child eating pedophiles”. The head noun is clearly pedophiles. “child eating” is a modifier (a compound/participle phrase) describing those pedophiles
Hyphenation would make it clearer, but its absence doesn’t suddenly create a new valid reading where “child” becomes a separate noun or the main object
Gamer and yeah
“Child eating” is not a compound modifier, that’s what the hyphen does. Without a hyphen, the modifiers “child” and “eating” both independently describe “pedophiles”, the hyphen makes “child-eating” into the compound adjective the author was obviously intending to convey. Wikipedia uses the example “heavy-metal detector”. Without the hyphen, you have a metal detector that’s heavy. If you need a device to detect heavy-metals, your SOL.
Absolutely no clue what “gamer and yeah” means 🤷♂️
Hyphens clarify compounds, they don’t create them. Grammatically, ‘child eating’ modifies ‘pedophiles’, the head noun. Reading ‘child’ as its own noun would require ‘a child’ or a different construction, which isn’t what’s written.

Wait you pay that much in taxes in the US? I thought the silver lining of living in the US means lower taxes compared to countries with social security systems and universal healthcare.
That’s the line they feed us, for sure. But if you ever actually added up federal income tax, state income tax, state and local sales tax, Social Security tax, property tax and assorted taxes for any instance in which you might come into additional money (capital gains, interest, prize winnings, inheritance, etc. etc. etc.) most Americans would probably be shocked to learn what real percentage of our income we actually pay to the government.
This is a very good reminder to me. The rich pay comparatively little on things like gas taxes, retail tax, etc.
No - they just pretend taxes are lower to justify not using the tax money responsibly to provide social services.
Between federal income tax, social security, and medicaid my taxes come out to about 40% off the top. Then I have to pay state sales tax, local taxes, and in many states people also have to pay state sales tax.
What the hell? That is an effective tax that is higher than what I pay in one of the richest countries in Europe. Our highest tax bracket is around 50%, but only on that portion. Our effective tax is probably under 40%.
And we have actual social security and healthcare is covered.
How else are we supposed to pay oil companies and Monsanto massive subsidies to encourage them to keep participating in their wildly profitable businesses?
No see when people produce things they need to get taxed a lot so we can pay for the things they need like prisons, cops, anti homeless architecture, and the military.
But when people collect stock dividends or realize gains they only need to get taxed a little to cover the contracts they get to provide squalid food to public schools, fill textbooks with revisionist history, and prevent humanities education.
And of course the true patriots who get loans against the majority stake shares that they manipulate to steal the retirements of prolls and bribe politicians are welcomed to write those incurred debts off.
That’s the best part: We don’t know! There are so many taxes and fees and BS spread over so many things that it is very difficult to calculate the total percentage accurately. 40% seems high, but it’s probably not far off when you add everything up.
Lower taxes (1-5%) is if you make more than 750,000 per hour or daily or weekly.
Trump paid for showing me (located with an european IP address and an european account) a facebook video ad boasting about how now overtime is tax exempt. It was awesome: it was an ai-generated pixar style ai slop about some men coming back after some work in oil field or coal mine and hugging their kids, opening the letter with a huge “pussy hair” signature saying that now overtime pay is not taxed.
What’s this about eating what now?
Try searching for Jerky in the PDF files.
…and on top of that, you’ve got to pay taxes
But but Dear Leader needs that money to invade Iran and Just Take The Oil!
Man just wanted a quiet evening and got hit with a full conspiracy rant 😭
