I agree, TM is crap but it sure looks like she’s just feeding the problem and complaining about it.

If she’s just about the money, fine, but to try to play the ethics card while raking it in…. is gross.

I agree with her sentiment but she chose to use ticketmaster. WTH did she expect?

It sure looks hypocritical to me to voluntarily use them and then complain about it. Put your money where your mouth is, etc etc.

Basically don’t shop for anything noncritical from yesterday until 02 Dec (Tuesday).

And try not to use credit cards for anything you do have to purchase.
(I think debit cards are ok)

I’m kinda wondering if that’s their primary intention even if these scumbags are probably pleased with such an outcome.

Maybe they sorted the list of degrees by repayment rate and labeled all the ones below a certain rate as ‘unprofessional’. Since women are still getting paid significantly less than men for the exact same work, they may have lower repayment rates which would show up like you’ve shown.

To be clear, either way, fuck these clowns.

So if you don’t lie to make the numbers look good, you’re fired.

Just great. And to think I was skeptical of the government’s economic reporting before this bs.

Yeah, I don’t get the “trumpf will fire Powell” thing. He has no authority over the Fed, right?

Yes, I get he can apply pressure indirectly, but that’s not the same as having the power to fire anyone at the Fed. So this sounds like the media trying to grant trump the appearance of more authority than he has, which is a bad thing.

I’m hopeful Powell will stick out his term and continue to do make the best decisions he can.

Fewer? Locally, friends have been commenting in the past week or so how nice it has been that there are so many more this year. (Western NY) And more bees, ticks, and mosquitos.

I get that we’re in a massive crash but at the moment, locally, there seems to be at least a momentary uptick.

Sounds good to me!

NY was the eleventh state in the US. We’d become the eleventh province of Canada, nice!

This is definitely worrisome.

But is it the end of the Constitution quite yet?

The Supreme Court hasn’t weighed in on the executive order trying to negate birthright citizenship, they said that lower courts couldn’t block EO’s at a national level.

Implicitly, their not commenting on the EO feels like they’ll let it stand when the case arrives, if they choose to hear it. Then I’d say the US Constitution is toast.

I’m an engineer, not a lawyer. I’d love to hear what someone more knowledgeable about this thinks.

Let’s try again.

Think carefully, surely you can see that two and two is five.

Don’t you agree?

Mastodon but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

Bookwyrm but not nearly as much as Mastodon.

I really wanted Bookwyrm to be more useful for me. But it’s really not geared towards what I want in keeping track of books. ymmv

I’d be glad to:

Pack his bags tonight preflight…

Really? Only 13%?

Maybe it’s a lagging indicator? Maybe sales in China picked up? Maybe the numbers have been finessed?
