Or '1.5 liter bottle of water' which shows US at almost 2 dollars and Germany 70% less. That's probably just branded vs nonbranded water. | ||

Nobody cares, he’s their avatar in the ‘culture war’. Doesn’t really matter what he does. | ||

Danglars would vote for trump even if he bathed in the blood of kids just to own libs. There's no logic anymore. No truth or lies. Whatever Trump says today is truth. One example, Danglars believes that China is backing Biden. Despite all the videos of Trump asking China to help him in this coming election. User was warned for this post. | ||

But, i was wrong. Prices for groceries are apparently by far cheaper in Germany, so, you should be able to pay your burger flippers just fine. In theory at least. www.numbeo.com I personally believe society needs to set prices to livable levels for everyone, not industries. Either by accepting fair prices for the consumed goods or services and implementing a minimum wage, or by directly paying everyone a minimum wage regardless of their job, aka base income. I would prefer the base income, because it would relieve pressure from workers and allow them to dctate a little more how they want to work. That site tells you nothing. https://www.worlddata.info/cost-of-living.php Make note of the PPI category. People are very poor at evaluating sources and determining which are good and which are bad. Numbeo is bad. | ||

Remember Covid is only a minor danger compared to the roaming hordes of Antifa terrorists that Joe Biden will unleash upon your neighborhoods. Only Nobel Peace Prize nominee Donald J Trump can stop them. Plus he banned diversity training for government employees so the libs are mad!11 | ||

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-latest-on-republican-efforts-to-make-it-harder-to-vote/ I wish the states good luck in casting votes in November. There's pretty heavy handed efforts to fuck over voting systems and disenfranchise voters, primarily from republicans in power. Important to note about this: There are plenty of Republican officials, even in some of the states listed above, taking steps to make it easier to vote. Texas, for example, increased the number of days in which early voting is available. So it’s not that all Republicans are trying to complicate the voting process. Rather, most of the officials trying to complicate the voting process are Republicans. | ||
