They take all the land, water, and government handouts and then cry that single moms on food stamps are ruining the country.

I’ve just had some pretty good nights in just me, a bottle of wine, and a movie

Just because you have an opinion doesnt make it valid.

Howdy Arabia is a police state hellscape. I cant wait for my parents to retire and move back up north so i never have to go back to that hellhole ever again.

He wasn’t better, he just had more legitimatacy since he was the party leader during the last election. Hell, Sunak resigned from said government before Johnson resigned. That’s why there were calls for a new election after Truss resigned, but the Tories refused because they knew they would get clobbered at the polls.

Sure, but Sunak wasnt even the second choice for the Tories during the last election. He’s in the Gerald Ford grey zone where no one feels like they voted for him, making him seem illegitimate. The British public voted for the Tories in 2019 (because they are morons) with the expectation that Boris Johnson would be in charge. Now the head of the party has resigned twice since then. In theory it’sall standard procedure for Parliament, but it’s a clearly unstable government and viewed as a farce at this point.

He wasn’t quoting people though, he was straight up reading other people’s work and claiming it as his own. Like whole paragraphs at a time just copy/pasted with a couple words swapped out. Even with proper citations you would be kicked out of college for plagiarizing if you submitted something like that.

Other countries dont need to pay more for drugs. Pharma companies are taking advantage of Americans, having tax dollars fund research and then chsrging exorbitant prices to those same taxpayers.

It’s not like there is a cottage industry of small time pharmaceutical companies these days. The smaller ones that exist mostly just focus on making generic forms of drugs that jave expired patents.

Sony and Universal own a pretty decent chunk of Spotify, so they have every incentive to force their artists to stay on the platform.

They are incredibly similar languages that are more mutually intelligible, similar to Swedish/Norwegian/Danish or Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian.

They led with an offer and asked if you would be willing to settle for less? I dont really understand what the strategy was there.

Labor only accounts for about 7% of the oricee if a car. Ford has made record profits the past 2 years, so theu could literally just eat the increae labor cost and still be making more in profit than any other point in the company’s history. Of coutse they wont do that because of greed, but there is no actual reason not to.

Ticketmaster/Live Nation sre the most visible monopoly in most people’s lives. Your average person doesn’t realize how much companies like Nestle and Unilever actually own and control. But we are all forced to use Ticketmaster’s broken apps and pay their exorbitant fees to see our favorite love entertainment. An optimistic view is that LiveNation is a slam dunk first step to more trust busting.

At least most Kansasans live less than an hour away from Missouri where it is legal.

Yeah, it’s the 3 left over slices of pepperoni from night

Even most artists offer them on their websites these days. Lady Gaga and Lana Del Rey offered them for their most recent releases,

They get paid a set amount every day for food, regardless of what they get. If you are getting a flat rate $50 per diem for food, it makes financial sense to eat cheap and pocket thr difference.

Workers in one sector making gains puts pressure on ither sectors to increase oay yo stay competitive. A cahin link fence factory that has a starting pay of $16 an hour wont be able to stay staffed when the car factory across town starts pay at $22

Stopping something bad from happening is always a good thing. If your house is burning, getting out is still a win even if you are now homeless.
