The US’s position of economic strength is so fragile too. Most of it is in the financial and technology sectors, both of which can be moved relatively easily because their value is in non-tangible things. China’s economic power is in manufacturing - being able to build tangible things. Factories are much more stable.

Really unfortunate the only public figure that has stepped into the void left by this DNC is not eligible to run for president.

This graph makes sense when you consider the main cost of these goods/services. The ones that have raised in price are very labor dependent and human labor is expensive (as it should be). The ones that got cheaper are items whose manufacturing can include a lot of automation. What this graph shows is that human labor is expensive. That is obviously not the only factor, but I feel it is a good explanation for the trends shown.

Very true, but as the movie says it’s a symbol. “Symbols are given power by people” and Guy Fawkes as a symbol is no longer tied to his historical actions. It symbolizes the character V, revolution, and the power of people to make change.

This cat’s a juggalo fo sho.

Don’t leave us hanging like that! What language???

Please don’t fix it. I laughed so hard when I read it.

Angie Tribeca is a modern show version of this type of comedy. It is done phenomenally and I can’t recommend it enough.

Say that to OP’s face.

Appreciate the write up!

OMG I’m a sand person! I can’t wait to walk in single file to hide my numbers! Argh Argh Argh Argh!

Still a great silly little comic that made me laugh.

Started on Jeroba, but Thunder just felt more intuitive.

If society collapses where is the gas for that thing coming from? Wouldn’t an electric car and some solar panels be an objectively better apocalypse vehicle?

While this is really hopeful news, be careful not to extrapolate too far. Turnout for a special election is not equal to turn out for a general or presidential election.

That is the fanciest ping pong paddle satchel I’ve ever seen! It’s also the first.

Are you a cat?

It’s incredible how much can be expressed by so little.

Step 1) Die.

Same! Sometimes what you need to relax is garbage television and that’s ok.
