Hunter is most likely going to walk for good reason. What he was charged with are unconditional laws. If he walks, so will Trump. And that’s assuming you can pin Trump with unlawful use first.

DOJ knows they are getting crushed with Hunter. Even 2A orgs offered legal help to him. They know the laws can’t be upheld by an honest judge. So why hit Trump with the same charges that they’re losing their shit over with Hunter?

Right to repair your tractor? Hell no!

Fake ass parts with MTBF of a few hundred hours installed by the dealer? Yeah that’s cool!

Thanks regulatory capture and corrupt govt!!!

It will take a left leaning supreme court, but that’s exactly what will happen. If a future scotus decides to override Bruen and Heller, we’re back to square one.

Tumble dryers and electric food heaters definitely need to be locked down. That totally makes sense! /s

“1 in 10 residents” does not refer to a person but a proportion of people, which is a plurality of people. Change it to “10% of residents” and it’s clear that 'are"is more gooder.

If you want to super expand it…

A proportion of 1 in 10 residents are…

Or

Proportionally 1 in 10 residents are…

Aaand also…

“are” acts on “residents”, not “1 in 10”. “1 in 10” is an adjective phrase. Residents is the noun.

Boss gets fired for blowing $15M on cloud platform per year for several years. New boss comes in and demands an audit. Turns out there’s waste everywhere. New boss says reduce cost or else. New boss calls a meeting a month later to review cost savings plan. Platform owner proceeds to provide a presentation outlining how the platform costs will rise by 20% next year and at least 10% every year after for several years. Platform owner gets fired. Complains no one listens to him.

Which makes the Ocean movies hilarious with the super advanced Greko security system.

The company I work for was nice enough to give me a 5% COL increase last year. Groceries are 50% higher. Gas 25%. Insurance 20%. Clothing is definitely at least 10%. Restaurants about 20%.

But yeah… My “real” wage is higher.

I’m guessing you also believe in Keynesian economics.

He’s not wrong about that, but I think the root of the problem is with management. There’s a problem with lazy and terrible management, not workers. At the company I work for, there are teams and teams of lazy good for nothing people everywhere. Most of them maybe do an hour or two of real work every week. When I talk to them, they are bored, aimless, and feel as though their work doesn’t really matter. I strongly believe it’s due to lack of leadership. Not management. Leadership. The department has no real goals. There are no projects solving real problems. Everything is just maintaining some janky tech debt or building some manual process because management likes their spreadsheets a certain way.

When there’s a liquidation of management and a culling down to actual leaders, the workers will want to work. They’ll find things to do because that’s what people do in a good environment under a good leader.

The arrogance is primarily a management problem. There are too many in power that are at our above their level of incompetence. It’s the Peter Principle on steroids.

That’s a terrible place to put them. They should be in large parking lots and garages where people leave their car for 30+ minutes.

Power? He has money. Nothing much else. The people that work for him are doing so willingly. The people that use Twitter are doing so freely. The haters give him more publicity than the people that adore him. People were gloating that if someone didn’t like the platform they should leave and use something else. Now the tables have turned. Anyone that hates musk but uses Twitter is a fool.

I don’t have that weird musk hatred fetish that many seem to have. But I also do not really like him. I like some of his actions and dislike many. I guess I could say I really don’t care about musk at all. Anyway, one thing for sure is that the guy is insanely entertaining. It’s been a while since since I’ve seen someone so monumentally screw up something that wasn’t really that broken.

You left out the best part… The amount is often extremely low. Just a few grand to the old PAC that directly feeds their campaign which is just a slush fund for their personal use.

Yes. To get back to normality, we must pass through this extreme, which is the necessary counter to defunding and demonizing the police as opposed to holding only the bad ones responsible for their actions. We’ll be in this state until we remove qualified immunity. So it will probably take a while.

Ok tankie. Communism isn’t real and hasn’t ever been attempted.

Ok tankie.

So communism is conservative?

My favorite are the videos of nannies playing with kids in some weird way and then they bend over or spread their legs. Quality garbage there. Thanks Google.

Blazing Saddles.

But Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are a really great pair of movies.

CAFE is killing the smaller vehicle. Vehicles are getting super round and boring for aerodynamics. Wheel base is getting longer. Track is getting wider. There’s no such thing as a small truck. Everything is am SUV (“truck”) or crossover (hatchback / station wagon). CAFE allows for less fuel efficiency for wider track and longer wheelbase and trucks over everything else.

Remember how VW got caught cheating on the mileage tests? Remember how every other major manufacturer was caught too?

The govt has set far too high of a standard for mileage, so car companies are making giant ass cars to meet (cheat) CAFE standards. The manufacturers have done everything they can but still can’t meet the standards.
