So how much $$ can a "Weight Guesser" rake in over a weekend?

It seems pretty clear he did it himself, or he told someone else to do it (though probably the former, the added bit is so wonky, even the half brain dead sycophants he has left in the WH could probably do better).

I don't think he even considers as far ahead as you're implying. He lives one lie to the next. If you're getting raked over the coals for a lie, just go and tell a bigger one.

Sadly it's worked so far for him.

Finns actually do rake the forest #rakenews

"What kind of work do you do?"

"I operate a giant wooden rake."

My foot would go through that rebar and rake right up my shin. As I wince in pain everyone would point and laugh.

It reminded me of Sideshow Bob with the rakes in The Simpsons.

More often than not it's just used as a nonsense word. See this 17C example for instance:

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly dilly, you shall be queen:
Who told you so, dilly dilly, who told you so?
'Twas mine own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so.
Call up your men, dilly dilly, set them to work,
Some with a rake, dilly dilly, some with a fork;
Some to make hay, dilly dilly, some to thresh corn,
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly, keep ourselves warm.

If you should die, dilly dilly, as it may hap,
You shall be buried, dilly dilly, under the tap;
Who told you so, dilly dilly, pray tell me why?
That you might drink, dilly dilly, when you are dry.

HA!! These 'patriots' really just want to get drunk on donations.

According to a Facebook video that he has since removed from his profile, Cai Irvin, one of the gunmen holding down the federal bird sanctuary, claimed that one of the “patriots” walked off the camp to stay in a hotel and drink away the donations he raked in to be part of the insurgency.

I think this method is called "Raking"

The devil is in the details, isn't it?

For instance, what kind of guaranteed minimum income are we talking about?

The context they used (automatisation, labour supply) suggests to me something along the lines of an unconditional basic income. If that's the case, it cannot be compared to a minimum wage at all, since it has effects that go far beyond the labour market and the income situation. It's a massive reshaping of how we organise society. And it becomes a pain in the ass to even conceptualise properly once you talk about how to finance it...

A minimum wage, no matter how decent it is, doesn't even put a dent into the disparity between income from labour and income from capital. It makes life less horrible for those it applies to and it somewhat curtails the welfare queens among corporations who like their wage slaves being paid for by society. Yes, I'm looking at you, Walmart! Still, on its own, it does very little about income inequality, and nothing at all about wealth inequality.

How would I address income inequality?

In German, the words for taxes and steering are the same: "Steuern". If you want to steer the income towards a more equal distribution, taxation might be the easiest way to go about it. Treat all forms of income equally in terms of taxation. Or go one step further and treat wages preferentially to support employment.

However, redistribution will only get you so far. So why not address it at an earlier stage: distribution. Mondragon serves as a successful example of how a cooperative structure puts democratic checks and balances on the wage structure within a corporation. One person, one vote puts the lid on any attempts by higher-ups to rake in 300 times as much as the peasants on the factory floor.

Yet it doesn't do anything about the inequality between wages and capital income. Even a combination of progressive taxation and fixed income-ratios doesn't do much about it. Especially since non-wage income can evade taxation in a million different ways and most politicians in every country in the world seem more than eager to protect what loopholes they created over the decades.

So what's my suggestion? Well, progressive taxation of both income and wealth, living wage plus job guarantee, support of democratic structures at the workplace, international pressure on tax havens (which includes my own fecking country). Realistic? No. But neither was our welfare system until it was implemented.

I see, he's playing the long game. That's the problem today, everybody tries to rake in as much as possible in the shortest amount of time possible without thinking of the long term effects.

There are a few types that can make metal. They both use a powdered metal and are fairly slow. It has to rake the powder across the top each time as it lowers the printed object. The one in this video is bonding the metal with heat via the laser. The other type I've seen uses a inkjet print head to spray a bonding agent, but then it needs to be fired like pottery to be finished.

At least he wasn't black??

That man has every right to take a yard rake to that cops face. How are there not more retaliatory attacks on police after shit like this?

"Suck it consoles!"

???

I never understood this "PC master race" BS.

Console software big releases like GTA 5 rake in probably about 10x the revenue that a similar release does on PC. That's because PC gaming is really for hobbyists--people who have the technical skill, time, and disposable income to tweak drivers, overclock processors and video cards, and get a 12k monitor setup working correctly.

Consoles meanwhile work right out of the box with a TV you probably already own. Plus these days you can get almost exactly the same selection of games on either PC or console (with a few "exclusives" on one or the other). So most people are clearly going to go the console route.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with console gaming. There's probably something wrong with you, though, if you somehow feel threatened enough by consoles to diss them.
