:motions at trillions of times people that signed up for Fb, Ig, Twit, TkTk, etc/everything without reading the Terms of Service:

Ok, just be sure it has an integrated circuit breaker otherwise its just....a surge protector. You'll also need to identify what load it triggers at. For example, I use these on my gear https://tripplite.eaton.com/isobar-4-outlet-surge-protector-6-ft-cord-3300-joules-diagnostic-leds~ISOBAR4ULTRA and they're rated to 12A which should protect a 15A rated smart plug. I put rated in italics because errrryone is buying CE (instead of UL listed) smart plugs.

Place a surge protector between the smart plug and the PC to be safe.

What benefit does this serve in this situation?

Probably lazy graphing. I think they're trying to illustrate the difference between top 10 and 20 percent, then threw the others in as collective 20 percent bands. Pie chart might have been better.

I may start using that word again, only in the context of MAGA.

hosting mutual aid comms

I've seen those posts (I have no filter).... "I need money for rent" 🦗 🦗 🦗

incel terrorist

Pretty sure he impregnated the whole damn country when his pics were posted.

Whoa. People born around this time will (hopefully) live to the year 2100.

mind be blown.

I'm old and trying to keep up with the times, remind me; what is the difference between transsexual and transgender? It seems like the word, transsexual, I haven't heard in a longass time.

Eisenhower and Kennedy had the highest approval ratings of recent times. Your comment could be misinterpreted to believe that Eisenhower was the lowest before Biden.

Look no further than wikipedia to provide that information haha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedia_pages_banned_in_Russia

Imagine being a CEO of a company and 5000 employees all show up wearing the same sweater. The odds are not in your favor, Chiefs.

animal agriculture

I think you meant, animal husbandry. Animal agriculture makes no damn sense.

avoid the risk of future pandemics entirely

Nature just does this. There's no way to avoid this other than killing every living being that "travels"; plant, animal or microorganism. For example, look up the American Chestnut.

Nassau County in NY state passed a law this summer https://www.nyclu.org/press-release/nassau-county-mask-ban-signed-into-law YES, there are exceptions for health, religious or cultural reasons BUT they've also used it as probable cause to search someone https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nassau-county-police-issue-first-face-mask-ban-violation/5741363/ (it doesn't matter that he was found with a knife. My son wears a mask because he thinks his nose is ugly)

you and everyone else to know

Coming in hot, I see.

gold Standard was holding down inflation

The gold standard was one of the causes of the Great Depression due to deflation. Deflation is terrible for economies and much, much harder to control. Be happy that you can keep your gold, FDR made everyone turn in all their gold (you could keep $100 worth) punishable by $10,000 or 10 years of prison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102 But guess what happened? Now that the Fed had more gold, they could issue, I mean, printbrrrrr more notes....which allowed more loans to be made, which allowed more industry to happen, etc, etc.

massive wealth disparities we see now are because of the US dollar

Inflation adjusted, Carnegie was worth $300 billion and we were on the gold standard then. What stopped the Rockefellers and Carnegies for a while? Regulation. What is allowing them to come back? Deregulation. Oh and taxes on the wealthy. Ask yourself what Musk had to lose if Trump didn't win?

standard of any kind the quicker things go back to normal.

Wampum? Think about what you said there standard of any kind. We all have to agree something is valuable, for it to hold value. Wampum was beautiful purple shells used as currency. Gold's elemental properties (electrical conductivity, non-reactive, etc) were not known, it simply looked shiny. There's honestly no good answer here, even bitcoin. For example, I still can't buy a coffee with a bitcoin, it must be converted to something else first. What if I'm somewhere without an internet connection? Cash is king.

Property is the only thing in true demand

I can agree with you here. Property "value" has surged twice recently, Chinese investors in early to mid 2010s (I forget why, I'd have to look that one up again. Something about their construction boom had crashed, too much supply on their market, so they turned to the US to invest. Anyway, there was a $750,000 house near me that stayed vacant for 3 years before it was sold for $1.25 million. I looked up the owners on the county government site) and Covid really hurt commercial real estate so they turned to residential/land.

You're not alone, samesies.

Claim denied!

"Over the last two years....."

Psssst, LEO: This shit has been going on for much, much longer than that.

Murderer by proxy which is much worse, in my opinion.
