… but the administration would steer it instead towards being more focused on operational weather forecasting and warning responsibilities.

Even for self serving goals and ignoring the future, don’t you need accurate climate models to accurately forecast the weather and issue warnings?

1st the minimum wage absolutely should be raised to a livable amount, but I have some questions and comments about your numbers.

Averages are bad to use as a measure, they are heavy skewed by the top outliers, median is a much better measure.

If you are trying to recover to a target average, the minimum wage would be below the average, that’s how averages work.

I’m trying to figure out where 72k comes from. 1k for rent (Yes I can find 1 bdrm in the city I live near that price), 150 gas/electric, 50 Water/trash, 100 internet, 250 food, 400 transportation, 500 health insurance all adds up to 29k a year.

The late 50s was still under 50% car ownership, a cheep car today is still around 20k.

For your gas, you have it at $5 a gallon for today, national average according to AAA is $3.132

In general a lot of the numbers you have don’t seem to make sense.

Okay, a hard refresh and now its showing up. (ctrl + shift +r)

As a user level verification, I don’t see a checkbox for post https://pawb.social/post/22913626 I’m on the default web interface. The post was marked as NSFW originally by some developer tools trickery.

Just as a hack, when creating a new post, most of the information is passed as parameters in the URL, you can ensure the NSFW flag is set for the front end by ensuring nsfw=true is one of the parameters in the request.
