According to this, all but 3 states receive more than they contribute, and Texas is roughly 17th out of 50 in terms of receiving the least amount back. I guess I don’t understand how Texas could be singled out in a dataset like this. This definitively shows Texas is not among the states receiving the most federal dollars in return for what they pay

Evolutionarily, it probably helps with both speech and nonverbal language, i.e. facial expressions
Have a link to these? All the sources I see indicate Texas pays more in federal taxes than it receives back in aid
Can he say no? Another way to view this is that because y’all don’t have kids he has an opportunity to make more money than all his coworkers who have kids, assuming he’s choosing to do this work
Has he ever tried setting boundaries around that? Is he getting compensated more for coming in on a weekend?
I guess I’ve never had a job or been a manager who questioned someone for calling out sick. Doesn’t matter why someone is calling out sick unless it becomes a pattern
What is your evidence of this?
Genuine question here – where and how are employees without children treated differently? In the US, besides parental leave at the birth of a child (which only some employers offer), are there employers that offer differing time off? I work in healthcare, and everywhere I’ve ever worked provides paid time off equally to everyone. The biggest difference is parents usually end up burning vacation days due to sick kids or school holidays
This chart you shared identifies Texas as having the 44th highest GDP per capita out of every region in the entire world out of 454 regions, which is actually really good. It’s especially good given how much rural land Texas includes, where an entire state’s per capita GDP is being compared to much smaller urban regions like Luxembourg, Warsaw, and London.
I live in Texas. I love where I live, and also fuck this place, but either way what you’re saying just isn’t true. Sure, there are a number of defense contractors plus NASA and military bases operating in Texas, but between energy, healthcare, education, tourism, tech, and over 50 Fortune 500 companies, Texas’s economy is actually really diverse. California has a ton of military bases and defense contractors too, because like Texas they have the workforce to pull it off
Did I miss something? Is OnlyFans funding AIPAC?
What about the seeds they dropped the year prior
Who is “they” in this case
“They” being the University of Oxford?
In the end, it probably isn’t easier at all. Once the yeast is created, yeast is dirt cheap and easy as hell to grow, and wouldn’t require managing a field of wildflowers that are going to drop seeds for the following year when you intend to plant crops there. I’m not saying it’s a good or ethical choice, but the yeast definitely has the potential to be easier and cheaper
Sure, but as far as what we can control right now, let’s elect some fucking Democrats please
That doesn’t break it down by variant either tho
We don’t have that kind of granularity anymore, both because RFK Jr and DOGE have significantly cut public health funding and because there are so many variants out there now and so little difference between them in terms of presenting symptoms
