Either he means what he says and can endorse products, or he’s mentally ill and we need to give him grace or whatever the fuck and he should seek help.
If he’s unstable and we shouldn’t believe what he says, why the fuck are you offering him deals?
Which may be why they are reserving the weapons for themselves.
He put in some, financed more, and got backers for the rest.
Some of his backers were involved with competing projects.
In addition, he and they will eventually be able to take a loss, which they can carry forward to reduce their future tax liability.
And while all that plays out, he gets to use it to empower fascism, which also will probably be used to make him more money via government contracts.
If ever the government tries to stop him, he can now claim free speech violations.
This isn’t an accident.
It’s to give plausible deniability to racists who don’t want to deal with EEOC violations as often.
Local clerk of court website can help you with this.
If you can get their names, you can know the property they personally own.
And if they’re big enough to have a corporate name on the deed, then they will probably be registered with your secretary of state or whichever department handles business filings.
Everyone should read The Poverty Industry. States abuse the absolute shit out of children and the elderly.
Sometimes, and I don’t know if that’s possible here, it’s best to go after the current thing on its way out than to try to attack a brand new thing that is gaining influence.
Depends on how specific the scope is, and whether this will set precedent for future issues.
And the rules won’t change because most of the Senate loves that someone else can halt things, take the heat, and then they won’t have to deal with unpopular decisions.
Not in this case, but they’re literally willing to force the military fuck over career professionals so that they can keep their cushy plausible deniability.
Every aspect of life demands 110% from us at all times.
We are all having to clean an entire house, cook every meal, pay huge mortgages or rents, pay loans, daycare costs, and insurance…for what? We’ve removed all economies of scale for ourselves, and made it to where it’s easier to spend the cash to have someone else do it. They then get the economies of scale that we used to have when we lived with extended family and didn’t have to pay for every basic service multiple times.
It’s exhausting, and there’s no slack left in the system. You can’t cut back on much to make the rest float, because everything is the maximum cost it can be for even the shitty versions, and prices on everything go up continually with no real raises available for the vast majority.
We are one major catastrophe away from huge swaths of our population becoming migrant refugees to other states.
We’ve removed all redundancy and forgot that it’s synonym is resiliency. We are absolutely fucked, it’s just a matter of counting the time before the house of cards collapses.
This is a fine position if you’re ok with your worst enemy getting to make the decision about who gets to procreate and live.
Agree completely, but hear me out. It’s politically difficult to ask ranchers and farmers to do anything. Like historically, a lot of our domestic policy centers around keeping them happy - the idea being that they are providing such a vital service that we don’t want to mess with them much.
That’s why Bundy thought he was going to get away with free grazing forever, and why huge swathes of homestead were granted a few hundred years ago - gotta get people turning dirt into food/money.
So even if this is primarily anti-foreign, it still provides a sorely needed example of legislation that could pass, and then the practice in bureaucracy needed to enforce it. It can be expanded. Let them pass this, and then lobby and advocate for adding groups to it in future legislative sessions.
It is not physically addictive. If your life sucks and you use it to cope, you’ll be cranky when you stop, same as if you used trash TV to cope but your cable goes out.
You cannot overdose on pot. You can try, and the worst that will happen is that you’ll fall asleep. It is not dangerous on its own.
Don’t like the schedule 4 distinction? Fine, pick another. But having it set to schedule 1, same as heroin and PCP, is insane and 100% politically motivated.
Their entire ecosystem is set up to encourage wink-wink-nudge-nudge plausible deniability.
The veneer of conformity is what they want. It gives Xerxes in 300, “The [left] demands that you stand but all I ask is that you kneel.”
It can stay scheduled. But it should be schedule 4 - low potential for abuse, low risk of dependence.
While you’re right, I think the issue here is the hypocrisy of Musk claiming to be pro free speech (specifically on his platform) only to then repeatedly limit speech he doesn’t personally like.
I mainly want internet for streaming a and games. I’m fine with cutting off the majority of news and social media.
Renewable instead of nuclear, but nuclear instead of coal.
We need a mix. Centralization isn’t the biggest problem. Literally anything we can do to reduce emissions is worth doing, and we won’t be going 100% on anything, so best to get started on the long term projects now so that we can stop turning on new plants based on combustion.
Agreed. I want internet, but beyond that I don’t want to be near anything. My mom was telling me to prioritize a place with good medical services, but it seems like by the time I am old and in constant need, the unsustainability will have come home to roost.
They’re telling you that it isn’t written to require criminal guilt determined by a court.
The entire south seceded. Those people were not tried, and in fact were given blanket pardons. But they still couldn’t hold office again.
This is a political process. It will be political, same as an impeachment.
New Orleans and Louisiana could stop this by making the chemical plants use river water. Pull as much as you need, filter it if you need, and that’s that. Right now they pull from the aquifers because they don’t have to filter it.
