Socialism isn't a bigger minimum wage. Socialism is when the workers control the means of production and own the fruits of their labor.
Socialism, for the dumb, is like a gross word they use to trigger a reaction.

It's kinda weird that the first time I heard of Charlie Kirk was the time he got shot.
I'm just browsing Lemmy and the headlines were "CHARLIE KIRK JUST GOT SHOT AT A RALLY!!!"
And my first reaction was "Oh no! Also, who is that?"
And then I started learning who he was. So now I know that he was a gun advocate who held rallys calling for more gun violence. From that perspective I now know that he died doing what he loved. Getting shot.
If you're American, it's impressive you managed to avoid him!
I avoid everybody. Humans are the worst.
Well, avoid hearing about him. You're on the internet, so some things are hard to avoid knowing about no matter how misanthropic you are!
I never heard of him before he got shot either. 🤷
At least he leaned left in the end
SHOTS FIRED!
I love this guy he's hilarious. What has he been up to?
Every time I do, it makes me
He hasn't released any new content in months.
I heard he started to lean left.
Dead grifter is dead.
Fortunately, Charlie hasn't said anything dumb or racist in a year
What a great year, too bad all those other guys are still saying dumb and racist things. Really looking forward to when they'll be silenced.
Dishonest for sure. Stupid people aren't this good at propaganda.
And it works. I had to talk my sister down from being upset over her raise. Was surreal that she thought it would mean less take home.
Rest in piss!
He 100% started with $7.20 and did the rest in a way that let him back into that number
is Charlie Kirk this stupid
I have good news for you
Facts: He dead.
Facts:
- Some partial premise
- Some incomplete data
- A conclusion loosely based on the previous points that confirms prejudice
(Last time I checked, facts were not that, but... Nevermind, the fuck is dead)
A year? No. It can't be?
Nah, it's Sept 10. You'll have a happy day, then a sad day right after.
Charlie was really wearing his heart on his sleeve. And his collar. And his chest. And the pavement.
Face isn't tiny enough
Is his corpse still being filmed and molested by his wife?
If the answer is no then I demand to know why it isn't.
Wait, do Americans not have a tax free threshold?
Yep. It's called the standard deduction. If you make less than that, you pay zero income tax.
Oic, weird, in Oz we just have a 0% tax rate for everything under 20k(ish)AUD, seems like a lot of extra steps to have tax rates listed for inconsequential amounts and then make people claim a deduction for those. Does the standard deduction apply to everyone or is it just if you earn less than the fixed amount? Because the latter would then penalise people for earning slightly more than the fixed amount which seems unfair ..

Republicans do this thing where they lie about everything to make reasonable things sound bad to stupid people.
I don't feel like I have a strong answer to that, other than there is a standard deduction applied to all federal tax returns. I suppose this would effectively give you the "tax free" bracket?

Did he actually say this or is this dumbassery made up and attached to his name? He was full of shit, but was he mathematically an imbecile, too?
Holy strawman Batman.
