Sounds like "percentage points" provides less information to the viewer, which explains the context I most often see it used.

Take that, past! We totally futured your ass!

I know what you mean but this amuses me immensely.

Maybe we shouldn't trust any media owned, operated, or financed by wealthy sociopaths?

Sondhi Limthongkul[a] (born 7 November 1947) is a Thai media proprietor, conspiracy theorist, pro-Beijing anti-democracy reactionary activist, demagogue, and leader of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD).

The owners devoted his life to overthrowing democracy and returning to Monarch-ruled authoritarian dictatorship.

I'd like to congratulate terrorism, for winning the war on terror.

Congrats terrorism, for winning the war on terror.

The support of the military and corporations are far more important than the people. Authoritarians have been using the military and corpos to oppress the people for centuries.

At what point does corporate espionage become terrorism?

We live in a post truth world now. The only thing that matters is feefees.

Trumps trifecta could be a blessing in disguise, in that if the GOP continued moving as slow and calculated as they have for the last 50 years, Americans will remain the frogs sitting in the proverbial boiling pot... However if Trump is as insolent and ignorant as he appears to be, his reckless stupidity could insta-tank the economy and send the cost of living through the roof.

Obviously MAGA are too mentally ill to admit they're mentally ill, but it could shock the other 80 million adults, who stayed home in November, into action.

Likewise, if they move too aggressively with the authoritarian end goal of project 2025, they risk triggering armed resistance and civil war.

I agree, but the fact remains that as long as only women can bear children, women (statistically) will always take more time off than men — in a sane world several months per child at an absolute minimum to limit physical and mental stress to the mother/child — thus the statistics will always reflect a pay gap when compared to males, and if the goal is reducing the pay gap to zero this is impossible (esp under capitalism, for the foreseeable future). Even if men took identical time off they'd still have a much lower physical stress.

Australia's maternity leave and social benefits are in the upper percentiles of the developed world, and the ATO/Treasury figures I shared are in spite of those benefits. There is simply no way to give mothers back time to recoup lost work xp, and that would be a horrifically poor goal anyway.

My argument isn't that women don't deserve equal pay for equal work (incl xp, in whichever jobs that legitimately matters). It's that there will always be a gap as long as there are inherent biological differences which naturally result in career variances between genders, and the only thing that should matter is whether that difference is fair and non-discriminatory. Most of the real stats I've seen over the last decade (as in, produced by demographers and statisticians; not rage bait for clicks) don't show a significant pay gap in the developed world, when the natural biological variance is accounted for. If you've seen anything that indicates otherwise, go ahead and share it.

I have come to the conclusion that their position is mental illness, because everything they've typed so far is non-sensical.

So in addition to poor reasoning skills, you also have poor literacy skills and reading comprehension... I am unsurprised.

Statistics are gonna blow your mind!

Great work. With strong arguments like that you're sure to discredit fascism and advance feminism! You are as asset to the conservative PsyOps machine, comrade!

"the arrival of children has a large and persistent impact on the gender earnings gap, reducing female earnings by 55 per cent, on average, in the 5 years following parenthood. We further show, using personal income tax data collected by the Australian Tax Office (ATO), that this gap improves only slightly but remains high in the 10 years following the arrival of children."

Conservatism didn't spend the last 50 years crippling education for fun. It was because a stupid worker is easier to con.

Sounds like freedumb
