But it’s not adding new debt, the federal government already holds that debt. I’m not clear if you understand that.

I don’t understand your statement, the student debt is already there held by the government and theoretically they plan their future revenue for the budget with payments from student loan borrowers included. So forgiving student loan debt would just be a decrease in revenue while they continue to have the same amount of debt.

You can’t really just nationalize things, and there are alternatives to starlink.

It’s often their role to sort of placate those in charge and just ride it out.

No. The article doesn’t talk about preorders at all, and they are completely meaningless and obviously a “preorder” for a car with just a 100$ deposit doesn’t mean anything. That’s basically just signing up for a mailing list. The cyber truck as announced was ugly but with really good specs for only 40k$. It was shit and the price was minimum 70k so it didn’t sell well.

Preorders aren’t a legally defined or protected term or anything, who wants to regulate that? It’s basically just a list of emails signups so it doesn’t mean anything at all.

It’s a fairly well known thing. It’s harder to search for now since anti COVID vaccine discourse dominates any search results. But it’s been a thing for far left circles for a long time, more about the mercury or autism part of vaccines concerns.

It is. The crunchy granola far left has always had anti government suspicion. Both far right and left are anti government and suspicious of mainstream medicine. For different reasons but that’s why you have anti vax people in deep blue Oregon and Minnesota and Texas as well

Hulu instead shows you the latest episode of a serial show, hopefully there isn’t massive spoilers

Yeah, it’s pretty good. You can get an mmr booster if you want. I don’t think there is any real downside and it should increase immunity resistance. If you have any type of immunity problem, or are in contact with very young children/infants, healthcare worker, or are going to travel it might be a good idea. It’s not like the problem is a lack of vaccines.

You can declare a medical quarantine. That’s constitutional generally but it has to be limited and specific.

Non vaccinated is common in both deep red and deep blue areas.

Not that they don’t get along, just that there is a difference in normal regionally.

There’s regional and cultural differences, famously brusque NYC and easy going west coast in particular.

I don’t get a lot of ads already, and I could honestly use more in terms of new games and movies coming out. Word of mouth doesn’t work great for obscure things either.

Most people recognize that communism as an actual government has been trash, but do strongly support the Nordic model with capitalism coupled with socialist-lite pro worker policies. Free trade and capitalism makes so much money that you can’t do without it, but it does suck for workers because all the money ends up with the owner class. A pro people socialist-lite Nordic model helps everyone but it needs the money from free trade to afford it.

I do understand the difference between communism as an ideal model that only comes after socialism but that’s not how it is used in the real world.

And you need cold ice. It should be dry and close to 0f, not wet and already melting.

The lithium should burn to lithium oxide. So it should still be recycled to recover most or almost all of it.

There’s a plausible case where either a very stupid OTA software update or a faulty charger could in fact cause a bunch of them to catch fire at once.

Replacing a few people at the top doesn’t mean that much. The Senate is still wildly against Russia.

Nah, Finland and Sweden joining NATO and Russia burning up almost all of its Soviet horde mean russia is pretty much done for as a major military power. They can sneak little bites of their unallied neighbors but they will never be the world’s second strongest military again.
