The real question is how do you ban algorithms without banning editorial discretion of the press?

Don’t worry any foreign company can just open an office in Spain so their Spanish subsidiary and ignore this tax.

They need higher crime rates to enable pushing for more authoritarian spending on police and enforcement.

If there actually were any. The only reason we hear about them ever is to promote spoiler candidates. Most are entirely funded by the GOP.

Way to much electricity has been wasted on this piece of shit. Can we just ignore him now?

To late he didn’t, and who the hell is going to enforce that law?

Nah, when the cost of insurance skyrockets, people lose their homes and leave. New buyers come in for a time, but eventually the only buyers are those that can pay cash. They tend to also have the means to leave, if not mitigate the fire risk directly through large scale construction. Same thing is happening in Florida now. Coastal houses that used to be a million dollars, but uninsurable, are being replaced with 5 to 25 million dollar houses that can withstand anything. Or entire neighborhoods get replaced with condos that look like they’re built to withstand anything, but it’s really a scam.

I still think there should be an age limit on federal elected offices. Like 10 years older than retirement age as of the date of inauguration. Along with an annual required physical with public results.

But then again, I’d automatically void all personal NDA’s at the moment anyone declared their candidacy for office.

What’s that, evidence of intent to commit terrorism?

Union teachers make 25% more than non union. There’s no magic, it’s always a fight. You can either fight alone, or with a team. Evidence says having a team works better.

Sounds like your union needs to hear from you.

I bet a vat of boiling oil I could make sure he’ll never do that again.

The only thing that startles me about his reporting is that at no point an FBI agent didn’t step up and ask wtf he was doing. Which tells me they’re entirely blind to the threat, and will be completely surprised when the next McVeigh appears.

Change jobs, companies don’t have unions forcing them to keep wages up with inflation, so it’s up to the individual. Or you know, vote for unions.

Prices go down due to competition. So the government can’t lower prices, unless it destroys demand so the existing levels of competition cause lower prices. The government can lower demand by raising taxes, or if the fed raises interest rates. Eventually leading to enough unemployment to lower demand.

In short, if the government makes prices go down, people tend to burn down the government before that happens. So it’s not really something they can do. Increasing prices is a whole different thing, inflation pisses people off in smaller doses, and keeps them in jobs, so they’re too busy to grab pitch forks and torches.

He’ll bring peace if he has to kill every man, woman, and child to get it.

Or something along those lines I assume.

Pretty sure the best version is going to come out of Bollywood. I’ll wait for the english dub.

It could totally happen, with the rules as they are now it’d be reversed before the gavel ever reached his hands though.

Johnson isn’t going anywhere, they don’t have the votes to replace him, and a drawn out fight will drive one of them to vote for Jeffries out of spite.

The counter to this are the strongly patriarchal countries around the world having the exact same problems as the western world. Cost of living problems are a population growth problem, that humanity has done an amazingly shit job of dealing with.

Consider that there hasn’t been a shortage of food for humans on Earth for over 500 years. And yet, starvation and famine have very much been a thing. Not because there wasn’t food, but because the food that existed was restricted to some populations, usually intentionally. Resource restriction is just another tool for authoritarians. From companies taking away health care, to trade embargoes, to wiping out the buffalo. Starving your opponent has always been a viable strategy.

Stopping a system from starving you of resources has always been a problem too. That’s why it works.
