There was always 2 halves* to the party. There’s the skilled and educated people that often (but not always) signed up to party membership for preferential treatment, and then there’s the pseudoscience nutjobs that were brought on to vote and push the ‘aryanism’ ideology

*Not really, but my comment won’t make sense otherwise.

Worker protections and their enforcement have improved in recent years, but things still aren’t fully there yet.

You’d think they’d have fixed it faster, since it’s the primary factor in why so few Japanese people are having kids

It’s a spin on a satirical 4Chan post where the OP had to chug “verification cans” of to do various things with their XBox

I recall an episode of Behind the Bastards where they explained how the “flat Earth” conspiracy theory was literally the core of a Nazi splinter group that was never stamped out

Sounds like that one chapter in Metro: Exodus minus the zombies

That’s still not how progressive tax systems work. In your example, it’s the first 20k is taxed 23%, then the next 32k is taxed 25%, then the next 50k is taxed 35%.

So if you made 52k in a year, the first 20k yields 4.6k in taxes, then the remaining 32k yields 8k in taxes. Leading to a total of 12.6k in taxes, or an effective rate of ~24.2%

In some cases, such as no wind, you can evem hear it growing. It’s like bamboo in that regard, which makes sense since they’re both grasses
