Russia is the junior partner to China but also the greatest threat to Europe of all time, somehow

I work in the payment processing industry and I won't say more than that for fear of doxxing myself

You'd be surprised. National restaurant chains pay more than you think. There's absolutely zero chance steak n shake is getting a 1% rate. I promise they're paying something near 3%. Credit card processing is infinitely more complex than folks think it is.

This surprises me not at all. Every time you swipe your card the credit card network charges the merchant 3% of what you paid. Bitcoin definitely does not cost the merchant 3% especially if they have a way to convert it in near real time to avoid any weird spikes or dips in the price of Bitcoin.

Credit card processing is expensive and there's a reason merchants don't like doing it. So it sounds dumb but from a business standpoint it makes more sense than you might think

I mean this is kinda a weird viewpoint. I've lived in a huge city for many many years, and sure I know lots of people who use AI for dumb shit, but I also know tons of people who don't. Cities are full of quite literally all kinds. So of course those kinds of weirdos are here, every kind of weirdo is here. There's nothing inherently more pro social about living in a small rural town with a few thousand people than in a city surrounded by a million other people

So basically they increased they federal minimum wage for salary employees. By a LOT. This is a huge huge increase for a lot of people. And it is recalculated for further automatic increases every 3 years. I personally know people who will benefit massively from this.

And yet I never heard about it. I would actually give a point to the Biden administration for this...it's a good and meaningful, if small, systemic change. I asked the turbolibs in my life about it....they didn't know. I asked folks who are going to be receiving this increase...they didn't know why they were getting it. Some of them didn't even know they were getting it. They just thought their boss was being nice. A few didn't know they were getting it at all and will probably just be surprised when suddenly their paycheck is bigger.

Like how are you not leading with stuff like this? Hey millions of Americans who wants a $10,000 plus raise automatically? It doesn't impact hourly employees so it still leaves a lot of the working class out, but many many working class people are salaried and below this threshold and will benefit a lot from this. How is this not plastered on every billboard? "Dear America look how much of a raise we got you."

They didn't want to win on the economy. If they did they would have led with things like this. They wanted to win on their thirst for blood. I think the fact that nobody knew about this change is compelling evidence enough.

 

How are there no good mobile games anymore. The platform should be full of them and yet there's nothing.

What am I missing. What gems are sitting in my blind spot. Yes I'm a gamer unlimited genocide on me but first help me find a treat. I deserve little a mobile game, as a treat.
