tldr Poverty line is calculated as 3x a year’s food budget b/c the calculation dates to the 60s when food was 1/3 of spending. Food is now 1/16 of spending due to other costs rising hugely, so the official US poverty line for a family of 4 is $35,000 but updating the logic it should be $140,000!
We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.

Have any of you ever FOIAed visitor logs at an agency? I realized I should have FOIAed OPM and GSA, given the reports of DOGE workers from other agencies working there, but is that going to be fruitful at any point soon?

This is what the internet SHOULD be. Always keep that ideal in your heart.
The low-angel Frieren meme is genuinely inspiring. Someone braver than the troops shares a picture they know turned out weird. Thousands start sharing their own art, offering advice and laughing together at something that is genuinely hard.
No ai to be seen --- just people supporting each other.

Yeah, in a situation where repercussions aren't negative/important, "Were you this awful as a child or is it something you had to learn growing up?" is a similar line I've used.
Sadly, frequently there are negative repercussions.

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

Have you ever tried finding a Louisiana sugarcane agronomist willing to testify in court AGAINST THE BANKS & SUGARCANE MILL that employ their entire sector? In defense of a Black family?
I had to dig up a guy so retired, the banks couldn't even threaten his *children's* careers.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

We even have a real-life experiment that proves paying farm workers a fair wage can be done. And prices went up so little, PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE.
In 2005, tomato pickers in FL struck a deal with Yum! Brands (Taco Bell, KFC, & others) to guarantee higher wages.
