5.50 for Stppercene also seems like a lot for the 70s, adjusted to inflation that’d be $32.81 today!
screenshot of an inflation calculator, with fillable fields and their contents represented in [brackets], text reads: “The U.S. Inflation Calculator measures the dollar's purchasing power over time. Inflation Calculator If in [1974] I purchased an item for $[5.50] then in [2025] that same item would cost: $32.81 Cumulative rate of inflation: 3180.8% Calculate (button)”

I don't think "SNAP is a subsidy to low wage employers" frame is useful or correct. It implies that, if SNAP did not exist, these companies would be forced to pay workers more when the actual situation is that low wage workers would get the same wages from these employers as now but be poorer

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

scandal noted, he was an absolute terror to his co-star stana katic (who plays detective beckett). he was such a terror that it eventually drove her off the show which is why the ending is such a mess (sounded like they also should have been paying her more)

never met an under achiever that likes getting yelled at every day, sounds effective
screenshot of article that shows that in studies, it’s mostly inept jerks that sign up to be gestapo agents. text reads: Why Underachievers Dominate Secret Police Organizations: Evidence from Autocratic Argentina by Adam Scharpf and Christian Gläßel GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies University of Mannheim Abstract: Autocrats depend on a capable secret police. Anecdotal evidence, however, often characterizes agents as surprisingly mediocre in skill and intellect. To explain this puzzle, this article focuses on the career incentives underachieving individuals face in the regular security apparatus. Low-performing officials in hierarchical organizations have little chance of being promoted or filling lucrative positions. To salvage their careers, these officials are willing to undertake burdensome secret police work. Using data on all 4,287 officers who served in autocratic Argentina (1975-83), we study biographic differences between secret police agents and the entire recruitment pool. We find that low-achieving officers were stuck within the regime hierarchy, threatened with discharge, and thus more likely to join the secret police for future benefits. The study demonstrates how state bureaucracies breed mundane career concerns that produce willing enforcers and cement violent regimes. This has implications for the understanding of autocratic consolidation and democratic breakdown.

We want medio-crities." —Officer, Greek Military Police police forces run extensive spying networks to surveil and detect conspiring enemies within the elite, the security apparatus, and society at large.
