I swear I had to read these headlines like 10 times.

“GOP candidate calls his campaign stop an autism fundraiser, gets banned when venue owner finds out.”

Curious about what was crossed out. We could probably tell with a better photo.

I can’t recall… Was it the motte or the bailey?

They could have left a naked “average” at the end of the sentence and it would have made sense to assume ‘appropriate methods’. They could have thrown in an appropriate qualifier do describe the cohort they’re comparing him to “most people approaching retirement age.”

They chose to say “the average American” which makes the statement somewhere between misleading and an outright fabrication.

You can’t just bait-and-switch the headline. Don’t say “these things are equivalent” and then turn around and say “it doesn’t make sense to compare these things.”

If I had an investment account that would give me $10k per year, it would be worth about $125k. If I was entitled to $10k a year through a pension, wouldnt it be fair to say that entitlement is an asset that’s worth (at least a portion of) that same value?

2 teachers, military and Congress. I’m not saying they’re billionaires, or even that they’re closer to one than normal.

They did and we should.

It’s incongruent with the headline. “The average American” is not the same population as “the average member of the ‘pull up the ladder’ generation.”

This does gloss over the multiple pensions, doesn’t it?

Median for his age

“I’m right. Everybody who disagrees with me is wrong. ‘fact checkers’ disagree with me, so they must be lying.” Is well within the person woman man camera TV brain.

It’s not quite the self-report that you think it is. Refusing to accept fact checking is a rational decision in the hypothetical framework that the participant is being honest and the checker is unreliable or dishonest.

the earth trembles and the sky parts at the thunderous roar of the might ar15.

Conspiracies are cool, but don’t just make shit up.

I demand to see the long-form medical report! The earer movement cannot be stopped!

I imagine this varies a lot on which country you’re in. In the US, coins seem to be mostly toleranced at around 3-5%, but you could probably get away with a large number of coins in good condition from different years.

But that actually comes into effect when your contractors start pulling prints and applying for permits.

Regulatory capture

So not mildly infuriating, but fuckaroundandfindout?
