Essential services like healthcare, accessible information, food safety, and all the other things that help our citizens stay safe and productive?

It irks me how much stuff we aren't allowed to send because the manufacturer won't allow it.

Name and shame. This is such bullshit. I'm sure it's some to protect brand value, but IMO you earn more value through kindness and generosity.

To my mind crossfire would also imply multiple shots. His weapon was pointed at the ground he raised it aimed and fired. I need to watch again, but I'm pretty sure he returned the weapon to pointing downward after the shot. There is nothing about that that is not deliberate.

Edit: very little of what I said was true. Whatchu it yourself and make your own judgement. Fash Gordon does look like he's itchy to fire though.

Or maybe this op was withheld because they had already done that.

We need people who do not care if they piss off the wealthy. People willing to forcefully and lawfully remove money from politics. People willing to challenge their own party members and even party leaders.

Primary every federal office in every election until the comfy incumbent lives in fear.

High cost, high risk activities should require a non-refundable insurance purchase that can be used for cleanup should something go wrong, environmental offsets, and any other unexpected costs.

Hell, private rocket launches should have to prepay cleanup costs.

Brought to you by Brando, it's what detainees crave.

Profit should not be made on imprisonment.

I don't have an answer for you, but something to consider.

Plastic surgeons go to school for many years to perfect their trade. I suspect, like most medical professionals, something like scar reduction is a specialized area of study that is not all that common.

We know that professionals are able to reduce the appearance of scars. I'd bet good money that it is not something just anyone could do successfully.

Starbase was officially formed earlier this month after Musk’s aerospace and defense contractor prevailed in a local election. It is now run by officials who are SpaceX employees and former employees.

As of early this year, the population of Starbase stood at around 500 people, with around 260 directly employed by SpaceX, the Texas Tribune reported. Most other residents of Starbase are relatives of SpaceX employees.

I've never heard anything good about company towns. Doesn't mean it can't happen. To me it just seems like another way for a company to control the workers and a quick path to indentured servitude.

Can we get other countries to deny these sycophants entry for being spineless?

 
  • Most tipped workers already don't pay federal taxes.
  • Increasing the tipped minimum would do more.

Edit: really there should be no minimum lower than the hourly minimum.

 

“Those people . . . ” Donald said, trailing off. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

“I don’t know,” he finally said, letting out a sigh. “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.”

Wait! What did he just say? That my son doesn’t recognize me? That I should just let him die?

Did he really just say that? That I should let my son die . . . so I could move down to Florida

 

The parties used to work together, it was unthinkable to not compromise for their constituents. Today we hear politicians talk as if it would be treason to work with members from the other side.

There is no both sides in this either. One side wants to govern alone to their own interests, not those of their constituents.
