Davkaus Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 The one thing I'm clinging on to is him not being pardoned if he loses. But that country is so **** I wouldn't be surprised if they elect him again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll still manage to convince them that it would have been much, much worse without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 So much of this police behavior is a repeat of their reaction to the occupy protests and Ferguson/Baltimore in recent years or go back to the WTO protests in 1999. Status Quo really. The shock you feel is the what "they" (the minority groups shit on again and again) live with every day. Median income is $53k. Wages flat or falling in real terms all my life. Stock markets are up though, so let's neo-lib our way forward! On another more ominous note: "An independent autopsy that found George Floyd died solely from asphyxiation could actually bolster the defense of the former Minneapolis police officer charged with killing him, legal experts said." https://www.reuters.com/article/us-minneapolis-police-autopsy-experts/floyd-family-autopsy-could-help-accused-policemans-defense-legal-experts-say-idUSKBN2391AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 1 minute ago, KenjiOgiwara said: How so? Is the number limited to cities? I'm guessing the number seems high because of the wildly varying costs of living in the country. Just speculation though, because I know in like California for example, $50k is paycheck to paycheck living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) And because 10 years ago $50k was worth about £30k whereas now it’s worth about £40k Edited June 2, 2020 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
