Texas already allows companies to pollute all they want. You see they are in charge of regulating themselves... Yeah you heard that right. They keep track of their own pollution and are responsible for reporting spills and accidents. No real penalties for lack of reporting either.

I am going to assume letting companies police their own pollutants is fucking stupid.

There are far more pedophiles who claim to be straight than gay. She is full of shit trying to conflate the two. Classic conservative rhetoric from the 1950's, what a fucking weirdo.

Translation: US automakers are worried about Chinese imports servicing a sector they have abandoned.

That one trick NASA does not want you to know about.

Humanity as we know it existed for ten of thousands of years without copyright. Copyright is the anti-thesis to creation. Everything humans create is iterative. Copyright along with the rest of intellectual property seeks to pervert creation for personal gain.

Art does not need copyright to survive and I would argue that intellectual property is not needed to promote the arts or science. It is designed to do the opposite which is limit creation to the benefit of the individual.

What makes this worse is the individual is now the corporation. Do you know that a lot of successful artists, particularly musicians, don't even own their own works?

Corporations benefit disproportionally by copyright. They have lobbied for decades to further pervert the flawed intention of copyright and intellectual property to the breaking point. Simply put, going down the road of trying to prove who created what was first is wrong.

Creation does not happen in a vacuum. Pretending that we create is isolation is farcical. We are great because of all those that came before us.

The telephone was invented by multiple people. The Wright brothers had European counterparts. These issues around intellectual copyright are a lot more complex than we are ready to admit.

We have billions of people now. Stop trying to pretend any idea, drawing, tune, or writing is unique. Rude wake up call, it is not.

What do rural folk who kill their dogs instead of training them know about politics. Stop putting people who are grossly ill-equiped to do the job in charge.

We are in the fucking Olympics of world politics and the best you can put forward is a two-timing pussy graber and a inbred dog murderer. You can't make this shit up.

He did say remove conservatives...

Housing first is a proven strategy in dealing with homelessness. The fact that every state has not adopted these policies to help eliminate the homeless population shows this is more a cultural issue than a lack of housing.

According to the Census there are a lot more empty houses than homeless people. Let that sink in and you start to realize all is not what it seems.

Until someone is safe and has their basic needs met it is impossible to work on issues such as mental health and addiction.

The solution exists but it is going to take a lot of our time, money, and most importantly a cultural shift away from blaming people to accomplish it.

If we could fix our homelessness then we would show that we truly care about our citizens rather than just paying a lip service to our most vulnerable people.

Needs some fuzzy dice above his head.

CEO should not be compensated in shares because they have insider information and can benefit from manipulation. It has always been a recipe for disaster.

Unrelated to the topic but has anyone else noticed the quality of the soft serve has gone down dramatically in the last several years. I got a ice cream cone and it didn't even taste good. I was looking at their advert for a Mcflurry and it looked all ice crystally and not good at all. If they can't even make the picture look good that is saying something.
