That’s the only time zone I’m for!

The biggest revelation to me is that Chicken Soup for the Soul owns Redbox and Crackle. Just odd.

Cool.

As an American, can I have some of that freedom?

Would you like a brick?

Didn’t he pull it so that there was time to read the Republican stop gap spending bill for the government shutdown?

Not that I agree with the tactic, but it’s not like he just pulled it to be a child.

Now him lying about “accidentally” pulling it is dumb AF. Own that shit. But still.

A fair assessment. Thank you for widening my perspective! ^⁠_⁠

Do… Do our American Nazis, not want capital corporatism? Because this description of Nazi Germany’s economy sounds a lot like trump and the general Republican party.

The changes included privatization of state owned industries, import tariffs, and an attempt to achieve autarky (national economic self-sufficiency). Weekly earnings increased by 19% in real terms from 1933 to 1939, but this was largely due to employees working longer hours, while the hourly wage rates remained close to the lowest levels reached during the Great Depression. In addition, reduced foreign trade meant rationing of consumer goods like poultry, fruit, and clothing for many Germans.

And this sure sounds like how the right acts about our military industrial complex…

The Nazis believed in war as the primary engine of human progress, and argued that the purpose of a country’s economy should be to enable that country to fight and win wars of expansion.

And if you want a source, it’s like literally the first bit in the article on the economy of Nazi Germany on Wikipedia. With all the sources you like.

And it just keeps going. This next bit sounds like riling up the populace to throw them under the bus and vote against their own self interest by demogoging about The Other. Reminds me of some fucks on the right here in the US. And by some, I mean… Well, I can’t name any that aren’t like this?

The Nazi government developed a partnership with leading German business interests, who supported the goals of the regime and its war effort in exchange for advantageous contracts, subsidies, and the suppression of the trade union movement. Cartels and monopolies were encouraged at the expense of small businesses, even though the Nazis had received considerable electoral support from small business owners.

If you don’t see the parallels, you are either blind or deceitful.

Walks like a goose, swims like a goose, steps like a goose, oop, it’s an “Economically Anxious Republican”

Spades are spades, ducks are ducks, Nazis are Nazis.

After reading further past the imagery of snow white and crying about the parallels between that and his death and my own experiences as a gay man, thank you. It very well could have been the poorly stored electroplating chemicals stored in his home. He habitually ate an apple before bed and often discarded it not fully eaten. Coroner’s notes, when examined by a modern eye, may be more consistent with inhalation than ingestion. He had been off estrogen for a year. He had made a list of things to complete when he went back to work after the holiday weekend.

I should make sure my chemicals are stored properly.

Let’s just chalk it up to Government murder either way!

I bet I can guess the outcome of Snyder based on the number of undisclosed gifts each justice has taken then conveniently remembered when it gets reported.

Blasting is what a cannon does. Slamming should be reserved for hurricanes. I hate these titles.

After looking more closely at precedent and the constitutional outlining, it looks like the list of qualifications for Congress et al are considered exhaustive and require a constitutional amendment to add any further restrictions. Take a look at the decision in U. S. Term Limits Inc V Thornton, which came to the conclusion that states cannot impose qualifications on federal congressional candidates and that a states people’s have the right to deny them at election time if they so choose. So I concede. It’s a good idea, but the system makes it difficult to implement. Unless another FDR style tragedy happens in office and then some big national tragedy happens, I really don’t see a way to get this passed.

But for state government, the term limits could be passed. Idk how beneficial that really is, but 🤷‍♂️

A president is not a congressman.

I don’t see why not? I can’t run for president at 31. Additionally, it is up to each state to define how its elections are held, and that’s delineated in the constitution as well.

I say, we damn up all of the arctic circle, propagate Azolla there, kill it off and sink it every season. Nature did it once! We can do it again!

Eh, the only other places in the solar system that could have life get the heat from tidal forces. I don’t think they will miss a bit of solar energy.

Awesome! But we aren’t there yet. So just let me buy a non self driving electric vehicle until we are.

I’m not saying I don’t want it ever. I’m saying I don’t want it yet. An ev is not a self driving car inherently. I’m saying the feature does not yet fully exist, so don’t force half assed versions as safety features.
