Sure. But was ~$3/hr a livable wage in 1976?

Actual data is exactly what I was basing this on.

Also, they're talking of the vote counts as if they were real.

I wore a full PPE and dove in there.

They seem to be thinking that this is just a phase, and once Putin is gone, everyone who voted for him or his party is going to start voting for communists and thus Soviet Union will be soon restored.

Also in another thread some person was being feeling deep cognitive dissonance (to the point of crying alone and feeling nobody understands them) when their history professor gently gave them facts about the atrocities Soviet Union committed.

I cannot be mad at these people, but I am very worried how their bubble is feeding into their delusions. That cannot be healthy. I'm willing to bet that there's a shooter or two brewing in those circles.

We didn’t mass murder all Germans after WW2 either.

In Dresden fire bombings, about as many people died in a single bombing operation spanning about 2 days as have died in the Gaza war so far. Note that Gaza's population density is roughly 10x Dresden's current population density.

And the Gaza war hasn't ended yet.

Yeah, I agree. There are no clear figures on this.

I don't think tips are included in official salary figures? Are they?

You may need to look up the meaning of the word "median".

Median waiter salary in USA seems to be $15/hr currently. Did you think it was significantly less? There are large differences in the median between states. Where did she work?

I think neither your quote nor the text under the link show that. Can you elaborate?
