It’s a fee explicitly set in law by Congress. The president does not have the authority to change that.

Yes, but that’s clearly a power controlled by Congress, not the President. If they want that law, pass it through Congress.

The pay is roughly similar. The law was written to try to prevent that part.

It’s the near slavery and coercion part that they get excited about. When Twitter went to shit guess who stayed? The people who would be deported otherwise.

You must be straight here.

He’s not even good at serving them.

So effectively 3 + 3 = 6, just counting digits.

This is exactly how I feel about the US Office of the President.

You’ve gotta be one dumb motherfucker to be lighting fires and taking a sledgehammer to the decks below you.

What fucking good is money going to do you if you ruin the country? Where the fuck do you think you’re going to live, you motherfuckers.

It’s why I think Vance, even if a bad president, would do better than this orange shitstain. He wouldn’t have bombed Iran.

To be clear, I’d like Vance to get a little more than half a term.

Remember early 2000s when one of the metrics to be a good website was how many milliseconds it took to load?

If your site had 120ms of overhead, it wasn’t professional.

I’d rather it get dark at 9:30 in summer and 5:30 in winter than 8:30 in summer and 4:30 in winter.

I’d rather have dark mornings than dark afternoons.

Can you not just fully disabled the integrated? (At the cost of higher power usage.)

Just do what Ohio did. “Oh well, there’s no time to fix it.” Just submit the same maps over and over until you get your way.

Now imagine your sales declined by less than 50%

Corpo looks at this stat 2-4 weeks after they change prices. They don’t care to realize that the sales did decline more than that, it just takes longer.

Unironically. I’ve watched so many businesses fall into this trap.

Places used to make money on volume. That was the entire point of early McDonald’s. Extremely small menu served instantly. Low profit per customer, but constantly busy.

Now one of the biggest corpo metrics is “ARPU”, average revenue per user. And when they do raise prices the immediate effect is more profit, nearly every time.

People rarely look at the price and walk out. What’s more likely is that they just never come back again. Clearly management made a great change with the price increases; it must be something else driving customers away six months later. It takes time for high prices to hurt your business.

In the 90s you could get a bucket of chicken for about $10 and feed your family of five. Inflation calculator says that should be $21 now.

No wonder most of them are mostly empty.

Needs brown sugar with the walnuts.

No, it phases in over a few years.

Sure is a good thing we don’t currently count healthcare costs as taxes, or that’d look a lot different. Did you know most employers spend more on your healthcare than you do?

Whatever you call it, it would be nice to have more take home pay.

Maybe we should do universal healthcare too. That would help them.

I’m not one of those anarchists that thinks nobody needs to work, but I think universal healthcare, an actual living minimum wage, and a 32-36 hour work week are all achievable.

Do you think this is gonna pass? I’m not sure what you expect here.

If Dems get 56% of seats, this’ll likely pass. (51% isn’t enough because Fetterman is nearly useless).

For some reason people here really want to focus on the few potential holdouts rather than the 50% or more of Republicans who are the real reason this won’t pass.
