I'm gonna guess you're just trolling or unwell mentally, I am from WNC and a majority of my family and friends live there. There is one granite mine that supplies for chips and it is in a specific town called Spruce Pine. The government did not manufacture a hurricane that covered a third of a state so one town can give away mining rights

The tone of this writing is bizarre, even for satire

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

There are lines for grocery stores but it's mostly because the store itself is throttling the number of people in the store at the same time, gas is non-existent, no cell or Internet connection, many without power or water or both. I don't know if it's as bad as Katrina but it is certainly pretty bad and way worse than when the area was hit by multiple hurricanes in the late 2,000s.

Eh I'll take it, better than reading about candidates continuing to defend a fake news conspiracy about immigrants eating pets or whatever horrible thing they focus on next

As sad as it is, it's actually kinda refreshing to see a mundane headline regarding politics

Everyone of the people I know who have the sticker/tattoo aren't Nazis, they are big into guns and tend to be anti-government though.

Three percent is from the population% that supported the American revolution at its inception, at least that's what I've understood of it.

I'm sure there are plenty of Nazis that also claim to be 3%ers but I've never known it to be a Nazi thing, maybe they have tried to claim it.

Similar to the OK hand sign I will never see it as a symbol of nazism/white supremacy.

Most of those stickers aren't Nazis

Yeah it only being supported on pixel is what made me lose interest too but there is a good reason why it's specifically pixel phones, it's one of the only phones that doesn't have a bootlocker/ you can disable it. GrapheneOS can't operate on phones with a bootlocker. I could be a little off on this explanation but that's the gist I remember.

For reference here are inflation rates YOY since 2017:

2017 2.10%

2018 1.90%

2019 2.30%

2020 1.40%

2021 7.00%

2022 6.50%

2023 3.40%

Just to make up for the last three years of inflation they would need +16.9% instantly. Assuming +2% inflation over those 4 years (which is the average but not right now) that means from 2020 to 2028 inflation rose 26.3% so if they started a +25% increase over 4 years this year, the workers would have the same spending power they had in 2020.

Data is from the bureau of labor statistics

1.25×40×52= +2,600 per year before taxes, they would hit +10k after 4 years which almost certainly won't keep up with inflation. So at best they would have equal spending power to when the 4 year period started

Blocking hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml

Yeah that'd for sure step one for blocking some extreme views. It's actually kinda nice that they all aggregate to a couple instances, just have to find an instance that blocks both or filters them out. I don't block them personally but it's fairly easy too.
