The law does allow you to withhold payments to someone who owes you. For example, it’s legitimate to withhold rent from your landlord as long as you are setting it aside and have a legitimate habitability case ongoing.
This should follow the same logic
I’m sure he means evil, but wearables really can be a boon to health. His agency really needs to be more proactive with establishing privacy protections and certifying accuracy’s/correctness, to make this really take off.
The zip up is more annoying - I stopped zipping them years ago, which means they flap all over and don’t keep out the cold or rain
Hey baby, looking mighty thicc in that hoodie! Are you all that, with booty forever or do you have a soda bottle ?
Or how about the variant:
New doctor
I mean yeah, I didn’t claim this action was morally or even strategically acceptable, just that it seems consistent with the way past administrations have used the same power.
And that’s kind of a problem. As far as I see, this use of the war powers act is entirely consistent with previous uses. Trumps not wrong for once.
Maybe the part about not bothering to inform Congress because “they’ll see it in the news”.
Our outrage seems to be mainly that he chose poorly, or maybe even that we haven’t been conditioned to agree with it. Iran has been pursuing nuclear weapons for years(decades?) and I certainly agree the world becomes a more dangerous, unstable place as more countries obtain nuclear weapons. Sanctions haven’t been working, but you combine this with Israel’s assassinations and it should be effective at stopping their program.
Of course I don’t know that anyone tried negotiating from a point of respect for their sovereignty nor was this in response to hostilities against our Interests or any urgent threat (that we’re aware of). You can’t just bomb people you disagree with, but this really seems consistent with previous administrations and the only difference is the propaganda war to manipulate support
But he also has a personal 747, all that meme coin, huge profit on sneakers, etc
And don’t forget the superPAC money covering legal and other personal expenses
He’s always been able to afford good enough lawyers to delay any proceedings for years, and he can’t have very many left. Given his open grift and straightforward bribes, monetizing the office, I image he’s finally the billionaire he always claimed to be, so he can afford it
Fantastic! But we need more granularity. What year within that 18-64 range is the crossover where odds turn into our favor! If I’m going to die early, at least I may finally get the advantage before I ho
The problem is the propaganda. Yes it’s obviously a tax break for the wealthy. However that may be fine according to the propaganda that “it’s to support small businesses, which are the job creators of our economy”. If I believed that, I might support this giveaway to the wealth, so it’s important to not just prove this is a break for the wealthy but that the purported benefit is just not there.
I guess this is somewhat analogous to “trickle down” economics in general where it may be worth it if the claimed benefits were there. However we have huge amounts of proof that’s it’s not the kind of trickling that we want on us
The claim in the bill is that it helps benefit small businesses. The data is a fact check: the deduction is predominantly beneficial to wealthy people. The fact that most of these “businesses “ have no employees is a strong indicator that they are not “job creators” and are quite likely artificial corporations created to take advantage of tax structure.
And is there any medical proof that can stand up to brainworm addled pseudoscience in court ? Would you bet your career and your freedom on that?
Thanks for the attempt, but all I see are “the 17 sustainable development goals” where the Trump administration wants to take us backwards
Hopefully I’m just being us-centric and I understand our current issues may be partly obscured by long term trends and global statistics. However we also have an outsized effect on the world and those are some of the first places cut or corrupted, changed from achievements to points of instigation
Sometimes you can be a little self-centered. While climate change is overwhelming, a huge catastrophe for society and humanity’s future, how much will it directly affect you? Most of us will really only see more of the same: more severe and unstable weather, modified seasons, times where food and power are more expensive. You can handle that.
Sometimes it’s ok not to think too much about the statistics telling the bigger story or the news detailing the more extreme effects. As long as you know they exist
What can you do about the things that directly affect you? What can you do about the things in your control?
Right, and this is just one of those times where the scab was itchy so we scratched it off. We re-opened the gouge and are bleeding again. The question is whether the healing is still happening, with a little backtracking, or whether we’re exposing ourselves to gangrene
I suppose I don’t have any evidence, but think about it a little …
They’re starting with existing vehicles and safety drivers. I don’t believe the robotics are coming off the lines yet
At my local commuter rail station the entrance to the parking lot is immediately next to the track. It’s easily within margin of error for GPS and if you’re only focusing immediately in front of you the pavement at the entrance probably look similar.
There are plenty of cues so don’t rolled shouldn’t be fooled but perhaps FSD wouldn’t pay attention to them since it’s a bit of an outlier.
That being said, I almost got my Subaru stuck once because an ATV trail looked like the dirt road to a campsite from the GPS, and I missed any cues there may have been
No, it would be blue states (not just California) setting aside in escrow money owed to the federal government, while pursuing a legal suit for the federal government to follow through on its commitments. This is a legit approach for an individual with a complaint against a business like a landlord, so it seems like you could pursue similar logic
