- Comment on Median US income rises to highest on record even as Americans feel affordability pinch 2 weeks ago:
Bullshit. Currently 700 billionaires in the USA, between 2020 and 2026 their collective wealth increased by over 70%.
Enough to have a meaningful impact on the median.
- Comment on Median US income rises to highest on record even as Americans feel affordability pinch 2 weeks ago:
The median will be rising because of the obscene amount that billionaires have accumulated over the period since COVID.
When you look at a middle point, and one end moves dramatically, the middle shifts as well.
To get a genuine look at what is happening for the average American, there needs to be correction for the oligarchs.
- Comment on Age Verification for Steam rolls out in Australia requiring a Credit Card 3 weeks ago:
This is fucked. I don’t have a steam account, but my kids do.
Two of the three are 18+, but don’t have a credit card. I do, but obviously they can’t link mine.
Notwithstanding that the age verification laws are performative bullshit, how the fuck is it reasonable to only accept one form of ID that is not universally accepted? If you are going to force this shit onto people, at least mandate a wide variety of acceptable ID’s. For example, in Australia, you can get an 18+ card.
Also, don’t fuck the web for the kids and then exclude the kids.
