It is 2006, and Gnarls Barkley dropped an album. It is 2008, and there is a new Gnarls Barkley album. It is 2026, and there is a new Gnarls Barkley album. It is 2042...

I'm endorsing Anthony Joshua for his opponent for any office Jake Paul runs for. Since we all want to be silly ass clowns.

I don't think my best friend is going to be around this time next month. I know it's probably selfish of me to want more than the 17+ years I've had with him. But I don't think I ask that much of the world, so I won't feel bad for being selfish.

SMDH. You do know that she was a sitting House Representative at the time, right? And that this took place before Texas redistricting was finalized, eliminating her seat and prompting her to run for Senate. Right?

Her comment came during a guest appearance at the 125th anniversary of Grace Baptist Church in Connecticut. In an appeal to those opposed to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, Rep. Crockett suggested migrants fulfill crucial jobs that Americans no longer desire

Well then, I'm glad that I could clarify, because the next step in the big fascist plan of jailing and trafficking immigrants and other "undesirables" is to use them as actual slave labor in this country by expanding convict leasing through the the 13th Amendment and reviving loitering laws.

Constitution of the United States
Thirteenth Amendment
Section 1

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Following the Civil War, Southern states utilized Jim Crow-era vagrancy and loitering laws to criminalize the daily lives of Black Americans. These laws, part of the "Black Codes," fueled convict leasing, a system where inmates were leased to private planters and industries for profit, exploiting the 13th Amendment's loophole for slavery as punishment for crime.

Convict Leasing (Post-Civil War System): Enabled by the 13th Amendment, this system allowed state governments to sell the labor of convicted individuals—predominantly Black men—to private companies (railroads, mines, plantations) for profit, creating a system often referred to as "slavery by another name".

Jim Crow & Loitering Laws: Beginning with "Black Codes" immediately after emancipation and continuing through the Jim Crow era, Southern states passed strict vagrancy and loitering laws, designed to arrest Black people for minor or nonexistent offenses to feed the convict leasing system.

Purpose and Impact: These laws ensured a stable, forced labor force for the agricultural and industrial sectors, particularly during fiscal crises in states like Alabama.

Expansion: By the early 20th century, every Southern state had passed laws facilitating this control, reinforcing racial segregation and economic subjugation.

So, the SAT verbal used to include analogies, which are comparisons of two things to make a point. For example, how farmers using undocumented immigrants for cheap labor is similar to how US farms historically used enslaved Black people and then Black sharecroppers as part of their business models.

Text reads: What is an analogy?
An analogy is a comparison made to show how two things are similar for explanation or clarification. Although the things compared are physically different, the analogy identifies how they are figuratively similar.

Not a domestic violence ban. Not a child sex abuse ban. Not a rape ban. Not anything that actually harms children. A Trans ban. Because they want you to believe trans folks are the danger to children. Rather than the people who actual rape, murder, and abuse children.

Maybe about once a month I tell my wife something about history that she's never heard before but that I actually learned in school. So a lot of this history is withheld from children. They don't learn these truths. @karnythia.bsky.social is spittin' here.

I'm not sure if Johns Hopkins is known for it's economics department, but I should point out that Bianchi's statement is flawed because wages aren't paid out if profit. They're part of COGS. Lowering prices won't affect wages, it will affect gross profits.

Article text reads: “Think about what would happen if the price of all goods would drop to the pre-pandemic level,” said Francesco Bianchi, who chairs the economics department at Johns Hopkins University. The inflation of recent years also has driven up workers’ wages. If wages stay high but the price of goods fall, companies won’t make enough profit to pay their employees. “That would make the cost of hiring workers extremely high, and that might trigger a recession — and then the recession creates even more expectation for lower prices. This is why economists are very concerned about deflation.”

Text from Google AI reads: No, wages are not paid from gross profit; rather, they are part of the calculation to determine gross profit, and then are deducted to arrive at net profit. Gross profit is revenue minus the cost of goods sold (COGS), which includes direct labor (wages) and direct materials. Net profit is what is left after all expenses, including wages, are paid from the gross profit.
Gross Profit Calculation: This is your revenue minus the direct costs to produce a good or service.
Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold = Gross Profit
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): This includes the direct costs associated with production, such as direct labor (wages) and raw materials.
Net Profit Calculation: This is your gross profit minus all other operating expenses.
Gross Profit - Operating Expenses (e.g., rent, salaries for administrative staff, marketing, utilities) = Net Profit
Gross Profit vs. Net Profit | Capital on Tap
Mar 31, 2025 — Gross profit includes revenue from sales and deducts the cost of goods sold (COGS). COGS typically includes: * Raw materials * Manufacturing costs *
