My understanding is that the barrier weakened during covid, which would have caused multiple complications for containment efforts. Believe it or not, Trump can pretty fairly be blamed for covid getting as bad as it did, and thus can pretty fairly be blamed for this screwworm stuff.
My only complaint about this is that the fine looks too low, unless it’s getting applied each separate time the ad appears somewhere.
Is this the one who’s airbag was also sabotaged to not deploy in a crash, making the whole thing look like a very obvious assassination attempt?
Ah, so it was a pretty blatant assassination attempt, not just harrassment.
I take a holistic view of morality, which means that the morally correct recourse is the one that causes the most long term good. A knee jerk reaction of killing someone found to be reprehensible causes more long term harm due to the subsequent behaviors it encourages.
No, but only because that encourages murdering the victims to hide evidence since you’d be dead anyway if you got caught.
I mean I guess he kinda is in a no-win situation, on the other hand it’s a no-win situation of his own making. He chose to go in on Iran, now he can suffer the consequences of that.
I mean, he might be right, double zero is still zero. I say his taxes should instead be increased by a few million dollars.
Yeah. that’s the analysis I was thinking of, I just misremembered the conclusion.
Wasn’t it added before Musk took over?
If you (or anyone else) end up making one, please tell me, I absolutely want to follow something like that.
It’s the red ones, they’re about 14 spaces away from jail, which is the most common space to end up on. In the long run people will land on them most often.
Neither hexavalent chromium nor arsenic appears in Tesla’s TCEQ discharge permit as an allowable pollutant. Neither was tested for during TCEQ’s February investigation.
Except for the many of them being built in the fucking desert, where water access is already a huge problem.
…Yeah, the headline is actually right, I didn’t expect Claude to be pro-union like that.
Or don’t eliminate the gas tax, charge ICE vehicles for both, and then use all that money to fund the infrastructure for people to not literally need a car to live.
I mean, I’m not sure gas would be that cheap, but it definitely wouldn’t be $4.00 - $5.00.
I would rather a government shutdown result in a near immediate general election for every single senator, representative, and the president and vice president, but that would require a whole extra constitutional amendment and this fine for what is realistic.
Yeah, I’m a fan of the idea, but very much not a fan of how this proposal wants to implement it. I’m much more inclined to agree with a plan that says “each president shall get two appointments to the supreme court, with one in the first half of their term and one in the second, with the longest serving member being removed from the role upon confirmation, or at the end of next federal election cycle, whichever comes first. In the case of a death of a sitting member, the most recently retired/removed member shall return to the court until the next normal appointment by the president.” Phase out the current court gradually, if only to prevent a cycle of large turnover in 18 years after we lose like half out current court.
Wouldn’t the whole Jesus vs money changers thing count as him entering a metaphical hall of political power as well. That involved Jesus attacking those aligned with the established authorities for their own profit in a frothing rage.
