Chinas poverty line is set at about US$2.30 a day slightly above the World Banks lowest threshold of US$1.90 but below what is recommended for measuring higher-income countries.
Yeah, I read the article, but that's the poverty line, not the "extreme poverty" line.

Blame Joe Manchin and republicans for not getting the 2k checks. Biden already signed it into law, its not up to him to allocate the funds. This is basic shit you should have learned in middle school

Biden never said hes raise the minimum wage to 15 an hour. He said he would raise the federal minimum wage to around 15 an hour.

Fact check yourself before posting please
Biden himself said $2000 checks would go out immediately. Apparently Biden didn't learn this basic shit he should've learned in middle school.

I don't know what kind of stupid distinction you're trying to make with federal minimum wage because if you raise federal minimum wage then states can't go below that.

Think before posting, please.

Biden stans really need to stop taking words to mean action. I also remember when Biden said $2000 checks would come out immediately ("day one" was it?) if the Georgia run-offs went in favor of the democrats. What happened to that? Also, what happened to minimum wage jumping up to $15/hr (a demand made a decade ago)? Not surprising that they'd put so much stock into words, considering they worship Neera Tanden who shitposts on twitter all day.

So are we still pretending that 500,000+ Americans didn't die under Trump and the pro life party or how Trump locked those kids in cages for years and had 7 people killed at Capital Hill?
The figure was about 400,000+ while Trump was in office. The kids in cages program started under Obama and is continuing to this day under Biden. Way more people were killed in the Iraq war that Biden voted in favor of.

Wonderful posting from you two.

I said that if you think voters are going to vote out Democrats in favor of Republicans after this Congressional term, there is absolutely no way a left wing President would ever get elected by those same voters.
We'd know if democrats would let a left wing nominee through, but they'd rather have Trump than let that happen.

And we got the $600 down payment and will soon be getting the remaining $1400

People act like if Trump won or if Republicans kept the majority wed be getting more money. We wouldnt be getting shit because Republicans literally dont care about the American people.
and yet we got the $600 "down payment" while Trump was in office. Hell, we got $1200 back then as well. So that's $1800 vs $1400.

No, Im basing it off of how much oil America controls, compared to OPEC. OPEC are key leaders in global oil prices, but America has a pretty strong foothold due to increased production recently. Our oil prices arent based solely on OPEC, just influenced by them
You missed the second part of my post:

Additionally, the oil that OPEC controls is a lot cheaper to extract.


If we're relying on American oil, the price has a higher floor.

I mean, sometimes yeah

but OPEC doesnt have a huge say in the price of oil and gas in America, due to us producing a lot of our own

they have some influence, and a lot of influence in a lot of countries, but not America lol. Not since we started using Shale oil
You underestimate the amount of oil that OPEC controls. Additionally, the oil that OPEC controls is a lot cheaper to extract.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the impression that I get from lefties (with their disdain for capitalism and endearment to centralized planning), is that those prices should not be able to fluctuate as demand rises. The prices should be set, presumably by the government, if not outright provided at no direct cost to the consumers. Seems to vary depending on how far to the left they fall.
Gas prices are literally set by the cartel known as OPEC.

Some days it feels like right wingers are more tolerable to talk to than hardcore lefties

At least right wingers tend to have a basic understanding of how government works
Funny, because Trump used executive orders for many things that you democrats keep shrieking cannot be used for. Doing things in the most "correct" (read: slow) way only seems to matter when it's for aid to average Americans.

By the way, Biden seems to have thought this was all possible the first day in office: https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-georgia-senate-runoff-2000-stimulus-checks-immediately-2021-1

Guess Biden doesn't have a basic understanding of how government works either.

Yes, I'm invested in real companies that actually produce things, but that doesn't matter because your argument hinges on the idea that a big return means you're more correct. Following your logic, penny stocks are the future.

The sad thing is that even if the price goes up to $1 million, you'll still be saying the same thing. Unlike with lottery tickets, there are valid reasons to believe that the price of BTC will go up over the long term. You've been saying that BTC is a bad investment since before $20k at least. I hope no one listened.
The sad thing is that you completely missed the point. The huge return doesn't make it a wiser investment because it's not an investment, it's speculation i.e. glorified gambling. You're a genius until suddenly you're not and "buying the dip" suddenly becomes "holding the bag". Oh, but maybe there'll be another run-up three years from now.

the current currency is hey I should spend all my money asap because it currently is depreciating every single day because it's garbage

how is it better? also in case you didn't notice, gold when I bought it in 2011 was at 1300$/oz, it went up to ~1800$/oz in about a year then the following 5 yrs it just dwindled back down to 1300$, how is it better in any way than bitcoin? because it has a little bit of practicality? lol
You're making his point for him. There's a reason why gold isn't accepted as a form of payment. A controlled ~2% inflation rate is much more desirable than crazy double or even triple digit jumps in percent. 2% is too small to think "I have to spend this immediately!!"
