Truly some excellent adventures were had in those boxes.

Robocop is a scathing critique on capitalism. What’s nuts is I don’t think everyone gets that. It’s literally the underlying theme of the movie.

Same thing happens with starship troopers. People miss the fact it’s a critique of fascism and colonialism even though the movie ends with Nazi uniforms.

Federal judges can only be removed via impeachment.

Now, what happens if the executive decides not to pay judges? It’s supposed to be impeachment.

So Trump could decide to simply stop the paychecks but not the rulings.

Why was the army running a night flight training mission in DC?

Such a crowded airspace and I’m sure the military didn’t coordinate their flight plans with the local air traffic control.

This is generally going to be less a doctor problem and more a hospital admin problem.

Hospitals try and employ the fewest doctors possible to save money, they schedule doctors so they have 5 minutes per patient, and they pack the schedules as dense as possible to maximize the number of cases a doctor is handling.

Any disruption here causes a delay. A patient showing up late, having questions, or the doctor needing to shit. It all adds up to the fail system.

There are simple fixes here like extending the doctors appointments beyond the average required time and hiring now doctors, but that costs money and doesn’t optimize profit for the shareholders.

I’m honestly shocked the SC took up the case. Congress clearly has the authority to regulate businesses doing interstate commerce (like tiktok). I think the law is dumb china hawkery, but I also think there’s nothing unconstitutional about it. Congress could shutdown nearly any tech business they like for whatever reason they like.

So let’s be really fucking clear here on what Vivek and Musk want. It isn’t more immigration. They want disposable tech workers that they can ship back to their countries of origin when they misbehave. They want the power dynamic they have over H1Bs that they don’t have over US citizens.

What Musk and Vivek can’t find isn’t “motivated” americans. They can’t find cheap american tech workers who have to take abuse or else they get deported.

This is, BTW, why right wingers focus so heavily on border control but not employment enforcement. You could end 90% of undocumented workers today if you penalized businesses found employing them. And it’s real fucking easy to find those businesses. Go to just about any farm in the US.

The reason for boosting ICE funding is so a business owner can turn to their undocumented employees and say “If you don’t fall in line, I’ll call ICE and deport your ass”. This allows them to issue all sorts of abuse at their employees that they can’t get away with for US citizens.

This is why open borders or easy paths to citizenship is important.

Yup. The reason most of them are on death row is it takes literally decades of litigation before someone can be put to death (a good thing). By commuting their sentences Biden is saving the taxpayers millions.

Yeah, there was a huge gap in the experience of a white person and a PoC. Further, the 70s was right on the cusp of stagflation. Not unlike what we feel today.

LMAO. It’s hilarious to me how basically nobody is mourning the death of this dude. Hopefully it is making other insurance leadership start to rethink their careers.

Every single cop in Blobsky’s department is suspect. I find it highly unlikely that he spent decades raping people and planting evidence without his fellow pigs knowing about at least some of it.

Lmao, everyone can read this thread including yourself. Try again.

Then how can you claim the statement is a lie?

Right, because it makes Israel look bad. Anything that makes them look bad is a lie right?

Oh? What’s the official number? Perhaps you can report how many children Israel has counted.

“I mean, sure Israel is murdering thousands of children, expelling people from their homes, bombing a sovereign nation unprovoked, and Israel is bulldozing homes to make way for new settlements. But other nations do bad stuff too so this is obviously antisemitic”

What’s antisemitic is conflating the actions of Israel with Jewish people. Jews aren’t inherently fascist and fascist Jews aren’t all Jews.

This is also fucking disgusting as antisemitism is a real thing. Trying to conflate it with Israel critique makes people take antisemitism less seriously which is also dangerous.

They can’t even stick to their own rhetoric. Dem commentators calling Trump Hitler and then going out golfing with him is everything wrong with the party and media.

I fear 2028 is going to be Dems deciding that they were just too “woke” and running Liz Cheney for president.

Clickbait title. Makes it sound like he was arrested for searching the term. He was arrested for hacking the SEC account. He later searched for “how do I know if the FBI is investigating me”.

Well, if we prove her quotes accurate we can surmise that she may have said yes, with further investigation. But I’ll tell you, once we get to the bottom of our deep investigation we will find that she may possibly believe putin might be a war criminal given the current political climate of the UN and the ongoing hostilities in nations. After all, we need to address the issue of tariffs in china.

You know what would really help small businesses, like a lot? Public health insurance (covering things like vision and dental). A huge part of the cost of doing business is benefits for employees. Well, with public health insurance that’s a huge budget item that suddenly small businesses don’t have to pay.

Want to make it better? Expand social security to be something you could live off of. Boom, now you as a small business owner don’t need benefits like 401ks. Your employees will be well taken care of by a government ran pension.

Want to go a step further? Expand public housing, public transport, and food security programs. Now all the sudden a business doesn’t need to pay top dollar because the cost of living for everyone has been significantly decreased. You can easily find low wage workers and hire crews of them because the added income for everyone is more of a bonus rather than a necessity.

What else could you do? Reduce the full time work week from 40 hours to 30 hours. For a small business, it means you can actually focus on having your employees doing useful work rather than having them hang around an extra 10 hours a week doing nothing. For the employees, now they have spare time on their hands which means more opportunities to interact with the community and small businesses.

By taking care of the basic needs of the population you give the population a lot of spare capital and time. All of which can stimulate the economy to new heights.

Yup. Still important to bring up these cases to highlight how ridiculous the whole thing is.
