lol you’re underestimating the power of spin. goo policies have made things harder for the working class for decades. but they spin it so artfully that the working class strongly backs the GOP.
if things become worse for voters, trump will blame the left. and some far right nutjob will get elected by a landslide again.
I know one of those people. they are now angry the left lost… 🙄
can we sign up, take his money, and vote Harris?
if a million people do this it adds up fast
normally when they say slashing throat, I assume death. looks like the girl was ok though cause she ran home to get help
yep. why are they opposing fact checking in the first place? no one should be able to lie unchecked to dupe voters
the content of Vance’s lies are really really scary. not to mention his damned non answer
you’re totally right on this. I’m surprised walz didn’t say more than “that was fact checked and found to be false”. explain that abortions don’t happen after live birth! call out the lies.
vance did a total 180 on many things while looking directly at the camera. he’s a sociopath. he scares me… he’s smart and doesn’t care about anything other than personal gain.
upvoted cause I want people to see this not cause I agree
check where your retirement and savings are invested. buy a low cost index fund (fidelity and vanguard have great ones).
do not invest in any funds that have high fees. (there are plenty of good funds with fees around 0.1%)
I split my savings between:
if they’ll cheat with you, they’ll cheat on you
also if you’re married and spouse goes back to work, make sure you get the withholdings correct. otherwise it’s a hefty chunk you’ll owe April 15th
we just respond appropriately:
there are plenty of low cost open access journals run by nonprofits and professional societies. however junior researchers when building their reputation try and publish in journals that are as prestigious as possible, without worrying about cost, apc, open access etc.
iwriting reviews is time consuming, unpaid, and doesn’t help the reviewers career. so it takes a while because reviewers are already busy and don’t prioritize writing reviews too much.
quality of the reviews is questionable. 10% of the reviews are through and provide valuable feedback. the remaining 90% are cursory “yeah this is interesting, publish it” or “not interesting/outside scope”.
very very few reviews find and report scientific errors
academic journals now only provide a service to authors. they used to distribute… but the articles are available free on the arxiv, pubmed, authors websites, etc. the peer review and typesetting journals do is a joke and no author will pay for that.
the value journals have now is mainly to the author, because the prestige of getting accepted by the journal helps with the authors career. publishers figured out that authors will pay for this, so here we are … 🙄
so back in the day we needed publishers for distribution. now with the Internet, distribution is easy. but prices only went up
associate editors and referees are unpaid volunteers. typesetting is also mainly done by the authors. but prices are high because the publisher wants to profit.
there are quite a few high quality journals that are fairly priced and published by non profit publishers. these are the only journals authors should publish in …
if you’re planning to leave because trump got elected, then be warned. the UK has similar problems
