The broken economic ladder

Mar 31, 2023

Many years ago, I was a math tutor in a high school. My wage was $15/hr. At the time, the minimum wage was $8/hr. Fast forward a few years and I learned that the same school is paying $12/hr to their new math tutor. The minimum wage? $11/hr. In other words, a 25-years-old university graduate was making $1 per hour more than a teenage grocery store worker. The situation was worse for the new tutor -- higher living costs plus a decrease in the nominal wage!

The Canadian federal government is importing half a million people every year. Quite a few of them simply leave. Why? Brutal cold, high taxes, insane real estate market, shockingly decreasing real wages and the signature benefit of diversity: getting stabbed to death or set on fire in broad daylight.

Rude and retarded

Mar 29, 2023

The English ruled over the Indian subcontinent for nearly a century. The above logic means that the many children of the stationed officers born during that time must be Indian. If so, then why didn't the Indians accept them as their own? Why did they kick them out?

Anyway, unlike Mark Taylor, the Black dude knows his stuff.

For a hungry man

Mar 29, 2023

I used to buy them on sale for $2 over a decade ago. My job required quite a bit of work at home. So, it was convenient to nuke one for a quick dinner. Yeah, the steak with potatoes was tasty. The dessert -- a brownie -- wasn't bad either.

Are you fit enough?

Demon is fast:

The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 was unveiled at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, boasting a 1,025-horsepower production HEMI® engine that brings 945 lb.-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. With power like that, the most potent muscle car produced by Dodge can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in 1.66 seconds.

Exciting and painful.

The vehicle has been prohibited by the NHRA from partaking in ¼-mile races without a safety cage or parachute due to its remarkable speed.

Given the insane inflation of the past three years, it's astonishing that the price is just under $100,000.

Absolute carnage

Mar 28, 2023

Two days ago:

West Indies 258/5
South Africa 259/4

These would have been decent scores for an ODI game two decades ago. The South Africans smashed those 259 runs in 18.5 overs!

In total, 517 runs were scored, the most in a T20 game, including 35 sixes, the most in a T20 international and two fewer than the most in any T20 match.

One has to feel sorry for the bowlers. Their batsmen made the highest T20I score in history and the record was broken in about one hour. Reminds me of that incredible ODI between Australia and South Africa. The Aussies made the highest ODI score in history ... and then lost a few hours later.

The South Africans rarely win tournaments but they can never be discounted in a single match. True to their spirit, they lost today; thus, losing the series 2-1.

New Math for billionaires

Mar 25, 2023

Yeah, forget basic economics or finance, the comprehension of simple arithmetic is utterly absent.

The most common addiction

Mar 24, 2023

The reason why we love french fries, crisps and chocolate bars so much has less to do with a lack of willpower and more to do with the brain learning to prefer such high-fat, sugary foods, according to a new study by German and U.S. researchers.

Why can't it be both? Fat sugary foods are highly addictive and it requires tremendous willpower to move away from them.

"Modern processed foods are therefore potent reinforcers and, as with drugs of abuse, animal models have shown that their frequent consumption rewires brain circuits, even in offspring born to mothers consuming a high-fat diet (HFD) during lactation.

"Also akin to addictive drugs, there is evidence that this rewiring promotes further consumption of highly palatable energy-dense foods."

They're cheap and they're everywhere!

It was always amusing when my colleagues commented on my salad portion during lunch. What!? No dressing! How can you eat that grass? The fact that so many people slather their healthy, zero-sugar, low-calorie veggies in sugar and fat showcases this major problem.

Antifa to the max!

Mar 23, 2023

Smashing fascism:

In a press conference held in support of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg yesterday, Democrats vowed to arrest as many political opponents as it would take to defeat fascism.

"Fascism is a clear and present danger in this country," began Senator Chuck Schumer, "and the only way to defeat it is with a corrupt, all-powerful police state that can imprison anyone who disagrees with us politically. If we don't do this, fascism will win."

Jogging in America

Mar 18, 2023

Dilbert isn't surprised:

Surveillance video shows the man slowly walking up to Truong and then grabbing her while reaching for her belongings. She then drops all of her possessions on the floor when he picks up her phone – only to return for her envelope full of cash. She runs opposite of her attacker, but he catches her and body slams her to the ground, running off with the money.

Truong is now paralyzed as a result of spinal damage from the attack.

Understand the war

Mar 18, 2023

Yup. If you're White and on the Right, then the media will twist the story to make you look like a monster. In these two cases, it wasn't even a matter of who said or did what. There was literal video evidence which showed that these two young men were innocent!

Eggs expired

Mar 18, 2023

This old woman has a list of 35 must-have requirements for a man! The unintended humor starts early: she wants to get married and have a baby. I'm sure there are millions of men out there who can't wait to start a family with this lovely 42-year-old.

A sad joke

Mar 18, 2023

Oh, it gets worse:

Much worse:

Over 100 million people were murdered in the previous century thanks to the benevolence of socialists. Instead of learning from the horrors of that evil, these monsters simply ignore the mountains of corpses and continue on their wicked path.

Light Air

Mar 17, 2023

Very impressive delivery service:

A second pigeon wearing a tiny makeshift backpack presumably meant for smuggling drugs has been found at a corrections facility in Abbotsford, B.C., nearly two months to the day after a bird carrying a package of crystal meth was found at the prison next door.

Officers discovered the latest bird wearing its backpack inside Matsqui Institution during a routine search on the morning of Feb. 27, according to its union. The backpack, possibly made from cut-up jeans, was empty — leading guards to believe the bird might have still been in training.

Too Big To Fail

Mar 17, 2023

More power for the government:

Those big banks will also be easier to control.

Oh, you oppose the current awesome leftist politician in power?

Your loan is denied. Your money is frozen. Eventually, your accounts are canceled because you're a VERY BAD MAN!

Of course, the NPCs will all squawk: Hey, if you wanted to keep your accounts, then you should have kept your fucking mouth shut!

Blacks killed White people? Boring!

Whites killing wheelchairs? 24/7 coverage of this new Holocaust!
