Have a non-pay walled article?

Because nothing in what I can read of that article discounts what I said.

Specifically a non-pay walled article that backs up your assertions that some discharges are above safe levels

If they feel that way, then why do they vote politicians into power who do those things?

You don't get to vote evil people into power and then say "oh no, I don't support the evil stuff, I just care about the lower taxes"

Who elects conservative politicians?

Who consumes conservative media?

Every person who votes conservative is guilty of the behavior I describe because - As pointed out above - they vote in the politicians who do these things

You can't vote a politician into power and then not take responsibility for their actions

Haha woops - mixed up the terms, thanks!

"I'm making 50k". Great, now I have to guess - dollars? Monthly? Yearly? If yearly then what's the monthly paycheck? Net? Gross?

I mean surely it's obvious in that example, no?

dollars

If that's the native currency wherever you are, then of course dollars

Monthly? Yearly?

$50k/month about be $600k/year. Pretty sure you'd be able to tell if the person you're talking to made half a million dollars a year vs just above the poverty line (in the US at least) just from context, but when in doubt - it's probably safe to assume that the person you're talking to isnt in the top 1% of earners

If yearly then what's the monthly paycheck?

Yearly divided by 12? If you're in a hurry and want a rough estimate just chop a number off the right and that'll get you to within ~10% of the correct value

Net? Gross?

I've literally never heard anyone give their salary as gross outside the context of financial planning, and even then they'll always specify "after taxes" or something similar.

Other comments go into plenty of detail about why they se various conventions are what they are (yearly vs monthly, net vs gross, etc(

I can't tell if you're being serious - and so the world's biggest pedant, or if you're just the kind of person who can never admit they were wrong, even about something inconsequential, and aren't willing to admit you misread the top comment lol

So if you agree that what's being said is factual, then what exactly is the concern here regarding "echo chambers"?

A echo chamber is dangerous when people are spreading misinformation, a group of people acknowledging a very real negative aspect of a major political party is in no way "echo chamber" type behavior.

Now if we were saying "all conservative voters and politicians are Nazis", id agree with you that caution should be given about echo chambers, but cautioning about echo chambers when objective facts are being discussed comes across much more as you trying to deflect away from facts you don't like being discussed.

Would it help you if we also talked some trash about democrats?

Biden is too old for office

Most elected democrats are hypocrites, at least to some extent

Virtually every politician, including the left leaning ones, in the US are corrupt to som extent, and usually to a severe degree

There? Are you satisfied that we're not an echo chamber?

Except the waste water doesn't actually have high levels of either of those, as it's been diluted well below the safe minimums before release

Theres no actual science to back up the fears about their handling of this - just your standard "nuclear = bad and scary"

Wait till you guys find out about bananas

That's weird, usually hexbear and lemmygrad are super active in any post about Russia, but I don't see any here..

And you're reinforcing mine by continuing to not actually address any of the actual points.

Pointing out actual, provable examples of selective enforcement by conservatives isn't an "echo chamber" it's discussing real world politics

Ultimately it looks from my perspective like you're falling into the classic trap of just assuming that when a lot of people disagree with you, that they're just mindlessly repeating talking points - rather than ever considering that your own view might be skewed. Further reinforced by the fact that you steadfastly refuse to actually talk about the issue, and instead just keep deflecting and crying "ECHO CHAMBER".

And no, I have no idea who you are, why should I care though? This is a discussion about conservative politics, not you or your feelings.

Yeah Im jealous of OP that in their area that's "hefty" in my area that would cover maybe 2 months expenses if you were being frugal, certainly it wouldn't be "restart your career savings"

I don't need to put any words into your mouth, your reply to the comment was to ignore all the real, objectively true examples and just claim that despite the fact that they're the actions of real conservative policy makers, that they somehow have nothing to do with real conservative policy

You ignore the faults of real world conservatism, holding up this idealistic version of conservatism you have in your head as "real" conservatism. Ill bet you also hold that conservatism has nothing to do with anti-LGBT+, despite their policy makers constantly making anti-LGBT+ policy decisions
