  • It doesn’t help that welfare does actually work this way.

    I don’t know the actual figures but my understanding is government assistance tends to work along the lines of “if you make less than $300, then the government gives you $100” so getting paid $350 is actually worse than being paid $290 for example, since going over the threshold cuts off the welfare completely.







  • (Note: There are some dumb stories floating out there about Reddit CEO Steve Huffman getting paid $193 million last year. You can ignore those in general since they are really about stock and options awards with a long vesting period. And you can specifically ignore them for this story since those costs aren’t included in the R&D totals.)

    From the article. Reddit wants you to believe it had $193m to throw at the CEO, to imply they are great at making money. The more people spread this lie the more reddit wins.
