So “nearly half” of California’s income tax revenue comes from the top 1% of earners, and “a few hundred” billionaires would be subject to this one-time tax.

There are approximately 20 million workers in California, so the top 1% of earners is about 200,000 people.

Even with a high end estimate, roughly 195,500 of the top 1% of earners will not be subject to this one-time tax. This bill only targets the top 0.0025% of earners in California. One four-hundredth of the top one percent.

I don’t care what X is doing. Don’t use it and tell everyone you know not to use it

The odds of something actually happening after Elon says it will happen are roughly 10%

Rice is just fancy grass, too. So are oats, barley, and rye. All fancy grass

I’ll bite. Tell me what “norwood” means to you

I think the joke is that it’s gibberish

Braindead take. I’ve heard literally no one say what’s on the right.

You’re taking this way too seriously

Climate change is real and we’re causing it

“I definitely did not do this and won’t change anything I do.”

Blue M&Ms cause cancer

“How could the M&M people do this to me?”

No one’s asking anyone to prove a negative, there’s just zero case for a positive.

You can not believe in ghosts because there’s zero evidence they exist and compassionately support someone at the end of their life who’s experiencing deathbed visions at the same rime

For the 90s ska revival, I think Reel Big Fish takes the cake for most ska-ish ska band

Shin Godzilla is a whole different level of Godzilla, definitely made Godzilla more creepy than in any other film. While the OG Godzilla was a response to anxiety about nuclear bombs, Shin Godzilla is clearly a response to the Tohoku tsunami.

Also check out Shin Ultraman and Shin Kamen Rider.

Science classes

This is also how I recall it. They didn’t find out until after Nala came back in the picture when Simba was all growed up

I still don’t understand what point you’re trying to make…

Sure, people are fish and insects are crstaceans, but that has nothing to do with edibility.

My point is that crabs and grasshoppers are separated by 400 million years of evolution, and are extremely different from one another, just like fish and people are extremely different from one another. I’m trying and failing to understand your point, and don’t at all get what you’re using the word “bugs” to describe

Dawg. Insects broke away from the arthropods in the ocean and came on land in the fucking Devonian period. That makes crabs and insects about as related as you and a lobe-finned fish.

“Clean as you go” gang rise up

This is a valid counterpoint
