A new study found that nearly 20 percent of eligible adults in Medicaid expansion states are in danger of not meeting the minimum work hours that will be required nationwide beginning January 1. Women, unmarried people, White individuals, and those with limited education all had a higher risk of losing their health coverage due to noncompliance with these new requirements.
So im sorry but you gotta provide a source to that because its mathmatically imposssible to have almost 25% of working age americans making less than $580 per hour while the average income per year is $80,000 and the % of workers who are below the poverty line around 22% iirc and the poverty line per hr wage is $17/hr for 35hrs/wk. You see how those figures and the population numbers needed to make your 50 million true would mean there is like noone in the entire country making between $145/week (580 ÷ 4 weeks) and $595/week (poverty line is $17/hr over 35hrs/week.
Honestly dont take any of the numbers i gave as word of god because i did this with as little effort or math checking but the figures are clean rounds of census or theworlddate.org (again i went with fastest means of demonstrating how easily that 50 million throws off like every reported labor, census, and unemployment firgure over the past 20 years I browsed. Also kinda odd that after several searches, many of wich used the 580 figure, and yet I did not see a single claim from any source that provided anything about 50,000,000 americans making less than the new income parametws.
I mean think about it, if 50,000,000 or aka 1/4th of the US working age pop was making less than 580 per month, then how could the median retirement age in the US be 62??? Or the poverty line found to be $17/hr over 35hr work week??? Keep in mind, billionaies and trillionairs and every single transaction taxed thru capital gains do not count towards these numbers regarding income.
Do you think the government is inflating those numbers? Clearly you didn’t try finding a source yourself. My actual search was “how many Americans make less than $580 per month”, truly a difficult search to come up with, given the topic. This was the source the AI generated response used. But technically, you’re correct - this is the number of Americans who live below the poverty line, which includes the kids of people making poverty wages. Does that make you feel better?
I gave you the url and walked you thru the math. I dont know how much more i can bold your hand. Especially when YOU are the one who cant provide any citation better than the phrase you put into google and that you figure was provided by the same AI that gave us, “adding glue to pizza helps keep the cheese from falling off”, “the benefits of cooking with gasoline”, “how long ago was 1919 from today?” Ai-“20 years ago” and my fav: “you should drink 2 quarts of urine every 24hrs”
No but you thinking you have the factual highground by showing zero statistical framework and not being able to even find the source for your 50 million figure you got from google ai quick answer made me feel so much better than before i knew the level of your incompetence. I mean you literally proved my point in your own citation. It isnt that 50 million make less than 580 per month its that 50 million are below the poverty line that i broke down for you which means 50 million people make less than 17/hr for 35 hrs per week. Which you could find in your own citation if you read your source for how the poverty line is defined.
Ah, you saw AI and completely turned off your brain. I saw AI, saw information that could be relevant, went to the US government url, verified it was relevant, and linked it.
And there is no url in any of your comments in th9s entire thread.
