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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

MODERATORS
Yeah but the Biden administration is actually fighting against that. That was totally accidental and had nothing to do with Biden.
Also, and I will shout this out forever, they got this number by omitting everyone who has been unemployed for more than a few months or stopped looking for work. Just full-on
shit, and these dumbasses eat it up
Yeah. I bet the largest reduction in the number of people on unemployment happened when they stopped extending it for COVID.
And unemployment doesn't mean shit when wages aren't even high enough to survive on. Great, he's maximized the number of people who are both working and can't afford rent.
Isnt it also partially due to legalising child labour?
IIRC it's mostly just lying. The stats don't include anyone who's unemployed but not looking for work.
I don't know if that one is really on Biden though. The Child labour thing seems to be a Republican-only idea for now, but I'm sure that by 2028, Democrats are going to look at deep-red states electing freaks who support child labour and conclude that Democrats must also support it.
If the Republicans wanted to make 10 year olds eligible to work in the mines, the Dems would compromise and make 14 year olds the minimum then strut around like it was a victory.
I'd still blame Biden. If he was actually anti child labor he'd be assassinating the people doing it, but instead the only extrajudicial killings he does is killing "terrorists"
