Excellent opportunity for sabotage.

Heteronormativity
Some of that is due to patriarchal values (women can’t harm men) which lowers reporting and those receiving reports not taking them seriously.
Some of it is due to disparity between it being committed by women for the first reason.
There are crimes that are wildly disparate by gender. Baby napping for instance is almost exclusively committed by women. And even when u find a case committed by a male, it’s nearly universal that a woman put him up to it. It seems to be correlated to post partum depression.
Mmmmm… I haven’t read the article but I suspect it’s not true when factoring the Harding administration and inflation.
Might need to exclude Musk, but I bet it’s not far off.
The saving grace is that our federal government relies HEAVILY on state workers and agencies.
A lot of states can simply say no, or “yeah, we’ll get around to it.”
Go out and be the change you wanna see! 😂
Conservatives have been wanting and trying to dismantle the SS since its inception.
I’m not that concerned just yet. There’s a reason it’s called the third rail of politics.
If I had to bet on the future outcome, they’ll raise the contribution cap to around $300k, maybe cut benefits a bit, fixing the solvency problem for at least a generation or two.
I’d also bet on an immigration deal in a future administration. Getting more workers/contributors into the system.
It honestly wouldn’t shock me if the Trump admin pivoted to amnesty just like Reagan. He’s a lame duck from day one. He’s not beholden to anything from the campaign trail. If he’s gotta choose the adoration of his voter base vs the donor base, he’ll choose the wealthy. He hates being excluded from the elites. You can’t buy class. But you can be invited to their parties, their clubs, their scene. His working class base has nothing left to offer him.
I guess both ‘identity’ and ‘heritage’ are doing a lot of heavy lifting.
And I know this is mostly pedantry, but there’re terms that actually do fit better. Like immigrants, settlers, etc.
My great grandad was from Sicily. I’m from Minnesota. I don’t have any heritage or identity that has much to do with Sicily. I do have heritage as the progeny of immigrants from Sicily. But not Sicily.
(checks username) mmm hmm
But they’re not Irish or Cuban or Italian.
They’re Americans.
I think there’s a big difference between knowing your family’s history and drawing an identity from it.

We’re all Ethiopian
As far as white/Caucasian Americans, I’d bet money it’s Germanic ancestry.
I recall reading that at one point in the 19th century, 52% of American newspapers were printed in German. And, you still find towns with German names from coast to coast. Anaheim California, Hamburg Minnesota, Berlin New Hampshire.
If you’re near Eastern Indiana, check out Oldenburg.
I think we also overestimate the valve if what would have been at Alexandria.
Considering everything would have been hand copied/transcribed back then, and his expensive that would have been, the selection bias would be massive.
I doubt it could compare to Wikipedia.
It might not have been the worm actually. Missing a chunk of brain runs in his family on his uncle’s side.
I’d just like to thank everyone for doing their part, posting, reposting, and fear mongering it.
