I'm surprised how big the difference between states, $269 in OK to $1,030 in UT

I'm in UT and I felt like I've just been fucking up my finances... I didn't realize it's an actual thing happening to me.

Smart to use their methodology. That way they can't call it flawed. Well they can but they'll sound stupid

[–] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 1 points 41 minutes ago

na, Democrats always lie, even they use the same methodology, if a Democrat said it is automatically a lie /s
