Clown Car V: 2020 version!

The racism doesn't even pretend it's not anymore.

And of course, it is complete bull

Nearly every immigrant group, whose children are born in the US in the bottom 25% of income, has those children outperform US children in the same starting income bracket. Including a hell of a lot of third world countries.

What does this chart compare? Are those children of immigrants only in the US? (cause most of those countries have so tiny immigrant communities you can't make a comparison...)

Income mobility. In what income percentile, do children born in poor families end up, in as adults. I linked the source tweet.

And this is all immigrant groups. Mexican-American immigrants aren't exactly a small group. And it is nearly every group that outperforms natives, so a few being relatively small doesn't actually mean anything.

Tweeter says "this is not available to you" ;_;

I thought it was comparing "sons of immigrants" who start in the bottom 25%, in all countries listed. So it is actually mentioning country of origin, and everything is about the US, ok
Not that surprising, though. I mean an immigrant will try more when they come to a new country, and their kids are likely to follow suit. The native who is stuck in relative poverty has less incentive to do things, for many reasons.

Income mobility

The mobility is in both directions. No one goes up in percentile unless someone goes down.

In a few years, specialists will be needed to detect which video is a deep fake.

No to socialism !

Trump Funnels Record Subsidies to Farmers Ahead of Election Day
Federal payments to farmers are projected to hit a record $46 billion this year as the White House funnels money to Mr. Trump’s rural base in the South and Midwest ahead of Election Day.

The gush of funds has accelerated in recent weeks as the president looks to help his core supporters who have been hit hard by the double whammy of his combative trade practices and the coronavirus pandemic. According to the American Farm Bureau, debt in the farm sector is projected to increase by 4 percent to a record $434 billion this year and farm bankruptcies have continued to rise across the country.
The breadth of the payments means that government support will account for about 40 percent of total farm income this year. If not for those subsidies, U.S. farm income would be poised to decline in 2020.

Only if you keep the curve the same shape lol

 

[Cloud_Strife]

totally normal and not at all frightening

This is how crazy and evil the GOP are; they're actually believe this **** and they want people like this to decide whether gay marriage and any other number of minority related rights should stand.

lol yourself. Each percentile is filled by 1% of the datapoints; if one point moves higher, another must move lower to fill the vacancy, necessarily. Any curve is irrelevant.

‘Egregious racial epithet’ does not mean that the working environment in which it is used is ‘a hostile or abusive working environment’.

I've been on the receiving end of coworkers, particularly those who held power over me using slurs directed at me and I can confirm that it did not create a conducive working environment nor did it give me a feeling of being seen or treated as an equal in terms of who I am.

 

[Takhisis]

Yes, um, that's, erm, I mean, I stopped the post there because I thought it conveyed my shock appropriately. Does it work better now?

Sorry, I'm so used to people on places like reddit basically arguing for the inverse

Saw a GOP internet ad showing the flag at half mast over the White House with a red fade on the top where the sky is saying "This is the Election to Save our Country".
Meanwhile I'm wondering if proclaiming the country needs saving while afflicted with a blood-red sky is really an argument in favor of the incumbent.

the reverse thing . The New accuses you of the crimes which are actually committed by them . And stealing your narrative . (A-K-P is always a better Kemalist , if Atatürk was still alive he would join the Party .)

 

[Kyriakos]

There was this poster called Domen, once.
He got permabanned
Can't seem to recall why. Looking at the current forum doesn't help me remember either.

 

[Takhisis]

I think it might have had something to do with haplogroups.

 

[r16]

also the thing called humility and what not . Being a racist becomes somewhat harder with having blue eyes and becoming appreciably browner in the summer .

In that first campaign speech after his Covid diagnosis, Monday, down in Florida, Trump actually said "If I'm elected X or Y or Z thing won't happen" (I forget what specifically). He's running as an outsider.
