It’s only that high if you narrow the scope to only full-time and employed for the whole year. This neglects how much (or maybe rather how little) the us values a large proportion of its labor. I didn’t check the math on the percentage they gave, but it’s at least in the right ballpark from some very rough napkin math- 60% of below median is 30% of total, and if we make a not amazing assumption that the “curve” of earnings is linear, then we can just shift the median by the given 30%, which if you shift up from 47960 you get 68.5k, or if you shift down from 60070 you get 42k.

Do not use anti-zionism (OK) as a guise for your antisemitism (bad)

I want to push back on this just a little. Clearly UM isn’t the bastion of consistent good thought, but others that were maligned like return2ozma have been pretty consistent in what they post.

This is to say, “Great, one person is a fuckup. Why are we attributing this to the whole group?”

I watched the director’s extended cut and wow that cut makes it so clear that the director is a pedophile it’s disgusting. We looked up the differences after and it’s the majority of the more questionable scenes. Similarly we looked up the director’s wiki page and he’s got some gross history (see personal life)
