This is one of those, “How can I support either of these groups?” situations.
On the surface, it is NYC being tolerant to other cultures and loving to drink and party versus upstate Puritans who want a single culture and no drinking or partying. But then you read more and it is NYC being pro-slavery because it makes them money, while the Puritans were anti-slavery because it was against their God.
Lock him up. Kick him in the balls and lock him up.
Fuck all these people. They knew all this shit was going on and either took part in it themselves or let it happen when they actually had power to stop it.
A) Bullshit. None of them have actually left yet. One is moving some companies’ headquarters. Another already moved 6 years ago. The third is just “increasing his presence.”
B) This isn’t even past the ballot proposal signature phase yet. Even if they did/do move, it has nothing to do with this tax.
C) This is 3 out of 255.
D) They don’t fucking pay taxes ANYWAY. We have lost nothing of value.
E) Good. Leave. Fewer people driving up costs in my state.
And I wonder who he thinks would lead this new political entity.
I am all in favor of countries banding together to create more powerful bargaining units and helping to stabilize economies in their regions, I just wonder how well it would work when ALL countries involved are unstable economically and politically. It’s one thing for the EU to be created with Latvia, Romania, and Bulgaria when you have France, Germany, and England to stabilize things. It’s another thing for countries that have all had major issues with stability in both recent years and consistently in the past 30 years to try coming together.
Maybe that instability is partly due to US interference that this will help prevent in the future? Maybe it would help reduce the violence from drug cartels, which could stabilize the region as well?
And what about the consumers who paid extra to those businesses? Are they going to get refunds?
As much as I agree with this policy, I know it will never actually stick. Not only will he immediately walk it back once he gets the correct bribe from industry, but members of Congress on both sides would likely stand in unity to vote for some law to block this policy. I’m not anywhere close to a both sides person, but I haven’t heard very many Democrats asking for this type of law.
I would like to see the poll results after a hypothetical Frexit. As much as people bitch about how restrictive the EU is on countries and how much the bigger countries support the smaller countries, most of them forget how much of a pain in the ass it was before.
I feel like Brexiters might have a more informed opinion on the benefits of being part of the EU.
A) They didn’t up the bounty for his arrest. They upped the reward for legitimate information that could be used to support having him arrested. Since Biden never gave that bounty to anyone and didn’t arrest him or request he be arrested, then that should trigger in your thinking process that there is a huge fucking difference in policy between “We are investigating whether it is legally valid to pursue narco-terrorism charges against a world leader who we think did not win a legitimate election” and “We are invading a nation to capture a person to bring to trial without showing any evidence.”
B) That link was about getting information leading to his legal arrest through international cooperation in a court system, not about unilaterally deciding to invade a country and kill a bunch of people to extract a high value target.
Just wanted to give a heartfelt thank you for posting the picture of Gary Busey’s suitcase.
UCLA protected violent criminals who attacked peaceful protestors. You can call them woke all you want, but protectors of antisemitism is a big stretch.
Strangled her to unconsciousness… so badly she needed surgery to fix her neck and is still physically recovering.
Thanks, that detail was not in the other story I read on this. If you go into the other thread on Lemmy about this, you’ll see people defending this action by the judge.
No, it’s the “he was charged as a minor as a 17 year old and fulfilled his 6 months of probation and education.”
This is something that happens in beach cities in CA. People get drunk at the beach bars and then take the beach bike path home. However, those paths are used by pedestrians and other cyclists going at high speeds.
OK, now is the time to finally win the vi/Emacs war. We just need to convince the GOP that Emacs was designed to help a disadvantaged population compete in the workforce, and we’re on the way to banning it! This will be my greatest success.
Of all the bubbles that needed to burst quickly, this is maybe the one that needs to burst soonest.
One important thing to note is that there are only two types of commercially available rodenticides. The 2024 state law banned one of them, because the WAY that it kills is “grosser” than the other one.
The problem is veterinarians only have a cure to treat dogs/cats that accidentally eat the rodenticide for the one that was banned, and not for the one still available. Before, if a dog/cat accidentally ate rat poison, there was a good chance the vet could easily save your pet’s life. Now, they just say, “sorry, nothing we can do while your pet dies a slow, painful, but not outwardly gross death.”
Exonerated might not be the correct term. His murder conviction was vacated and death sentence set aside, which is different from saying he is exonerated.
What would a non-criminal person be expected to do in this scenario? Let’s assume for a second that these people were innocent (tough to do for us Americans, assuming people are innocent before given a fair trial by their peers), and their boat suddenly explodes in the middle of the ocean. Are they expected to stay floating in the open ocean forever just in case a second explosion happens? Or are they expected to try to not drown or get eaten by sharks?
Doesn’t that depend on the source of the electricity and the method of heat production for the boilers? I know electricity generation and transmission is more efficient than fossil fuel burning for boilers, but what if the boilers used heat pumps or another more efficient heating source?
