The reason humanity will never progress.

From banning white people from saying a word, to men not being able to express themselves, thank you double standards for ruining the world.

self-sufficiency standard

(ECONOMICS) an alternative metric of poverty; used instead of the poverty level by some researchers.

Developed as a superior alternative to the federal poverty level to estimate the income required for families to pay for their basic needs. Computed at the county level, the SSS takes into account the costs of food, housing, health insurance, childcare, transportation, taxes, and other basic expenses, with component values varying across more than 70 different family types. SSS wages have been calculated to date for all counties in 35 states and the District of Columbia.

Usually people are not concerned by reports of the large numbers of people living below the poverty level, because they assume it just means poor people have to tighten their belts.

The self-sufficiency standard (SSS), if explained, should change this. If a person's wages are below the SSS, then she is not only not making enough to meet her current needs, she's not making enough to preserve her ability to earn what little she has.

Standard beer

A quick-and-dirty method of determining your BAC is to consider one 12-ounce beer (at 4% alcohol-by-volume), one 8-ounce glass of wine (at 12% ABV), or one shot (at 40% ABV) as being the same thing.

The problem with this is that there are all sorts of different beers, of different strengths. Enter the "Standard Beer". One Standard Beer is equivalent to one 12-ounce can of ordinary American or Canadian beer, such as Budweiser or Labatt Blue.

One Standard Beer will increase an ordinary man's BAC by .02% and an ordinary woman's BAC by .03%.

Take, for example, one 24-oz. can of Steel Reserve. At 8.1% ABV, it is twice as strong as a Standard Beer. At 24 ounces, it is also twice as large as a Standard Beer. 2 x 2 = 4. Therefore, one big Steelie is equal to four Standard Beers, and will raise the average man's BAC by .08%.
