Is he still on only on e a week? I might have to just watch that each week and not read news. It’s too painful “raw”.

The guy even makes the nouveau riche embarrassed with his desperate insecurity.

They don’t need to. What they’ve done with high speed rail in 15 years makes me want to cry. They built an entire national HSR network since the great recession. America is such a fallen empire.

If you asked 100 Americans who support this change to point to it on a globe, every single one of them would fail.

From one felon to another. It’s poetic justice that a country that refuses to hold the rich accountable to actions, has now enabled one of them to end the rule of law completely.

It’s seriously over if it was hanging on by anything. Sad and awful times ahead with history as our guide.

Can it run Crisis?

Beaverton, so not in city limits.

Inevitable after a “no one asked” press releases from his cam days ago saying he “feels supported” at the club and things are going well.

When you read press releases from companies as well unions, understand these public statements are part of negotiation tactics, communication and attempting to exert pressure. Always watch carefully for statements that appeal to emotions but lack details.

While employees are, by definition, under-compensated in capitalism, “Refused proposals on sick pay, salaries, etc.” - without specifics it’s impossible for anyone to guess what they asked for and what the actual response or discussion was.

I personally think unions are most effective when they are transparent and specific about what is wanted, e.g. fight for $15(though not perfect in different geographies it was effective). I also think unions debase their incredibly strong position of being in the right on almost everything by resorting to vagueness, half-truths and unnecessary dramatization.

If you like short stories and westerns, this is such a good movie on Netflix, film by Cohen brothers.

“How’s it working out?”

“Not sure, no one has ever made it to the end to check yet.”

It’s only been delayed 28 times, surely this will be the deadline they stick to.

That’s because rather than petty crime, just as many people if not more are scared of the unaccountable, militarized, discriminatory police forces.

Boeing? Decades of genius and engineering and a market monopoly? Let’s sell all that into the future by doing share buybacks and starving the rest of the company. Winning!

They won’t remember, they’ll be busy eating the BS sandwich of hate and fear and lies that is being served in 4 years and will gladly eat seconds.

If the Dems weren’t the Bottom of the couple, they’d go on the offensive and use this ruling to get privacy and data mining sanity installed. Since tech are some of their biggest donors in the last 20 years, that won’t happen.

The perks of having all political power purchasable.

Well it’s the internet so rather than introducing an idea attributing and condemning something they may or may have not done, we can just look it up rather than up voting with our feels.

Looks Iike he voted for the Patriot Act, didn’t write it but claims the bill that became he patriot act was based on a bill Biden wrote in 1994 and he was proud of that, which is awful.

He voted to increase loans and grants that made college ever more expensive for decades, and then in the aughts, sponsored the bill to make student debt non-dischargeable even in bankruptcy, effectively handcuffing generations past and future as well to the truckload of bullshit they are fed to get them into mountains of debt and then ensuring they are forever chained to it. https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/111100/documents/HHRG-116-JU08-20201202-SD007.pdf

Decades in the US government anyone is going to have lots of awful things they did, and I’m not going to argue it’s his worst but it’s one of the most crippling to anyone trying to better themselves and has destroyed decades of millions of Americans lives.

Don’t forget the quinoa!
