Last increase was in July 2009. In the last 75 years, the FMW had a NOMINAL INCREASE of 867% (from $0.75 to $7.25). Since 2009, we have seen REAL VALUE actually DECREASE no less than 28%
HERE'S A SHOCKER: In 1968, the $1.60/hr rate was worth over $14/hr in today's dollars.

The federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25/hour since July 2009 (no change through 2025 as of October 2025). Overall from 1950-2025, it rose 867% nominally (from $0.75 to $7.25). In real terms (2024 dollars), it grew negative -28% (from $9.76 to $7.05, with a 2025 estimate), reflecting inflation erosion and stagnant updates post-2009.

US Department of Labor @USDOL historical chart; 1975 uses $2.10 (phased increase effective Jan. 1, 1975, for covered workers).
๐๐๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐๐ช๐๐จ:
Adjusted using BLS CPI-U annual averages (1982-84=100 base); 2025 CPI estimated at 322.8 (based on ~2.9% YoY inflation from 2024's 313.689).
% C๐กa๐งg๐s:
Calculated over 5-year intervals (e.g., 1960 vs. 1955); stagnation periods (e.g., 2005-2010) show 0% nominal but positive real jumps from later hikes.
Real purchasing power peaked ~1968 ($13.05 in 2024 dollars) and has declined ever since. It has since only been break new lows post-2015.

Tucker Carlson will be shilling for JD Vance to be the 2028 nominee for the next year, trying to convince everybody that Vance is the โAmerica Firstโ successor/alternative to MAGA.
Everybody who thinks heโs one of us should remember he is part of the CIA/Thiel โthing.โ

Riley Trettel (Energy & Data Center Development at SpaceX) in yesterdays Cochise Data Center meeting.
He claims the project will deliver up to:
- 40% off residential power bills for Sulphur Springs members, for the life of the project
- $53 million a year to the SSVEC Foundation, for education and the community
- $190 million a year in extra capital for Sulphur Springs, for projects or back to members
- $200 million a year for AEPCO and its members. About $100 million of that for Sulphur Springs
- $3.6 billion in new power lines, paid by SpaceX and given to the co-op. The co-op takes on no debt
- $30 to $100 million a year in new property tax, and a 20% cut in everyone else's county property taxes
- $250 million, one time, in sales tax. He said it could pay off the jail bond and fund the sheriff, fire districts, and the hospital
- $50 billion invested in the project
- 1,000 permanent jobs and 5,000 construction jobs
- No industrial water. Water for staff and maintenance about equal to 20โ30 homes a year
- No gas turbines and no power plant on the site. The computers buy power from the co-op grid
- Dark-sky lighting, pointed at the ground
- Cooling equipment more than 1,500 feet from any neighboring property line or public road
This project is clearly extremely positive for the area.

BREAKING: A mystery seller is trying to dump about $500 million in data center loans all at once, per Bloomberg, days after the midterms raised doubts about many projects.
The anonymous seller is auctioning a dozen loans, including a $25 million piece of financing for a huge Stargate site in New Mexico, the joint project of OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle.
Oracle has already sent that siteโs developer a force majeure notice, a legal claim that events beyond its control may excuse it from its obligations.

Hey @grok, concise no spin.
One of the 9/11 hijackers, Ziad Jarrah, had relatives entangled and serving in multiple intelligence agencies.
One relative, Assem Jarrah, was linked with German and European intelligence, and his business card literally survived the wreckage of Flight 93, tied to a top 9/11 operative.
Then in 2008, two more Jarrah relatives were arrested in Lebanon for espionage and treason. They had long been on a spy payroll, surveilling Hezbollah sites and scouting locations just before two major political assassinations in Syria.
@grok, state the country and agency these brothers were charged for working for.
Country and agency only.

These are the details of Russell Brand's rape conviction:
- Brand met a fan at one of his gigs in 2009 and invited her backstage
- She had a consensual threesome with him - "used her tongue on his anus" "within moments" of meeting him
- Days later Brand invited her to his house for sex, she agrees
- The Times attacks Brand in 2022 for joining Rumble and becoming a right wing "conspiracy theorist"
- The Times and Channel 4 colaborate for a big documentary expose in 2023
- Times says it had the allegations since 2019 but waited until his political shift to release them for some reason
- Complainants for his criminal case all come forward after the doc drops, some contacted and encouraged by journalists
- Jury concludes the woman 17 years ago consented to everything except anal sex, at which point she was raped
- Rape charge is bundled with other sexual assault charges, including him grabbing a woman's breasts (which jury concluded was forced) who then gave him oral sex (which jury found was not forced)
Brand now faces anything from 8 to 15 years in jail.

She admitted that w/in moments of meeting RB backstage, she used her tongue on his anus (as another woman was fellating him). She hadnโt even been introduced. Later she went to his place excited for sex (which they had). The two discussed anal sex b/4 hvg it - she said it was her 1st time. Her friend testified that the accuser admitted to her that she agreed to it (told RB โbe gentleโ). RB testified they watched tv together after.
When a reporter first contacted accuser about RB she said โIโm not sure my story has much in it; I was an idiot, young & stupid, probably as much to blame.โ
