A former coworker used to take leave when her kid was out of school. Kid was 10. I was a 10 year old "latchkey" kid in the 80’s, we'd get home, I'd make a snack for me and my 8 yr old brother. Then we'd ride our bikes until the streetlights came on, and we'd go home.
I'm not a parent. I don't really think either her or my parents were "right" or "wrong", but I don't understand why that changed.
Around 1/3 of the country voted for him.
It would have been a great political move though. Make Republicans go on the record as wanting more money in politics. CU is horribly unpopular and they could go on the offense for once...if they wanted to.
They probably couldn't pass it, but this is the precise sort of fight they could wage to excite their base...if they wanted to.
Not to defend the spineless Dems or this performative stunt, but it would be pretty difficult to pass at any point. They would need a lot of Republicans to join.
But I am picking nits. There's no good reason not to push for this while they're in power. If they had thrown their weight behind it in 2023, and forced Republicans to go on the record for CU, we'd probably have President Harris now.
if the US government wanted Google to do something, they could storm their headquarters and get the government tech people to go in the servers and change it.
Bwahahahahahahainhalehahahahahahaa
Thanks, I needed that. Whatever movies you're watching are terrible.
Forcing your way into Google to have "government techs" change something is NCIS level ridiculous. Conceivably they might get a court order to "force" Google to change. Funnily enough, the US and Mexico have the exact same levers to make a company do what they want. The US has more power to push those levers though.
I've gotten reVanced a couple times. It usually works for a week or two before something breaks.
Triviality? That is the main focus of the sentence.
This video is absolutely mental in a way that scratches my brain in all the right places.
Noooo! If cats are able to wield this power, the human race is doomed!
Turns out undocumented people are difficult to tell apart from documented people. Everyone has the right to due process, the system is only designed to work at a certain pace, and Democrats who Republicans kept yelling were allowing the country to be invaded were actually rooting people out of the country at a breakneck pace. People called Obama the Deporter in Chief for a reason.
"Left"/"Right" are somewhat squishy labels, but it's odd to say "there's no one to the left of me". I take it you mean that you discount anyone to the left of you as unserious...just like everyone else.
I just wish that Democrats would accept reality. Muttering about people you mostly agree with, but whose principles lead them to act differently than your principles doesn't help anyone.
Neither Gaza nor leftists determined the outcome of the election. "Trump would be worse" is not a winning slogan and Dems won't win until people realize this.
You don't get to be a billionaire without being foolishly selfish.
