I haven't heard anyone caring. The people who would be upset are busy with culture war screeching. I think the Biden admin did something very astute by upending Trump's entire social policy within the last month - it gives a bunch of left leaning groups a win to attribute to him, and it pulled focus from these folks who can't seem to maintain their anger at any one thing for more than a week.

Everyone I know who watches politics from the right is up in arms over the title ix stuff. None of them are paying attention to Congress right now.

My life changed when I started using spray. Makes it much easier to reapply regularly.

In addition to this, poverty levels were set like 80 years ago based on the cost of food alone. They took an "average" grocery order, made up, and used a set percentage to extrapolate out. So say the recommendation is 30% of your income on food and then average spend was $100 ->100/0.3= $333.

So while the levels haven't been updated in a long time, simultaneously we've added whole sectors of the economy that weren't envisioned when this calculation was performed. Transportation and education are huge expenses that used to be much cheaper or nearly free. Add to that the fact that housing, transportation, education, and medical costs have skyrocketed above average inflation, and the poverty numbers are worse than meaningless.

Especially if it's peaceful protest.

Gotta build the narrative that these are disruptive individuals. If they won't do it themselves, the universities and states will just lie and hope that it will be enough to sway public opinion against the protestors.

Elon would lie and give them the coordinates for schools and hospitals.

People will seriously scream that you can't assume malice when stupidity explains it, but at the same time we have Occam's razor - the simplest explanation is usually correct.

And if these people were stupid, sometimes they'd benefit the American people and harm Russian oligarchs. But the evidence shows close to 0 help for Americans, and every action they take aids or provides cover for kleptocrats here and abroad. The simplest explanation is that this is their intention.

Seems to be real from the search results.

Literally only people on whom propaganda is working.

 

A group of scientists in China have created an ultra-slippery toilet bowl that can repel almost any type of liquids or solids.
