It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Firstly hilarious that BI is basically just posting message board comments as news.

But also those comments are expectedly hideous.

Title says: Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000-a-year package with a mixture of anger and admiration

Bullet point says: The average UPS driver could get $170,000 in pay and benefits in five years' time in a new contract.

Quote from the fifth paragraph, "It's important to note that the $170,000 figure represents the entire value of the UPS package, including benefits, and doesn't represent the base salary."

The article is poorly written; it also says the $170k figure is salary plus benefits per year:

During an earnings call on Tuesday, UPS CEO Carol Tomé said that by the end of its five-year contract with the Teamsters union, the average full-time UPS driver would make about $170,000 in annual pay and benefits, such as healthcare and pension benefits.
