Instead of cutting 100 billion from social services Schumer has negotiated only to cut 99.9 billion

I can support the idea of a death penalty when someone kills multiple people and there’s good evidence.

However I can never support the implementation of the death penalty as I believe the state should never have the right tl execute its own citizens. And I believe it cannot be trusted with that authority

Nope because farmers will typically destroy produce to avoid crashing the price.

Expect large portions of the crops to be burned this year.

Why assume the shooter wasn’t aiming for the torso or head. He could have been nearly 1ft off of where he was aiming for all we know.

Worked out though

I’d probably just get myself to a research hospital. Might as well give some smart people a chance to use my sufferers to maybe help others one day.

If I did come out the other end severely disabled I’d end it if I had any remembrance of my self.

Each new state would get 2 senators added to the senate. You are right about the house of Representatives though

West coast gets 6 senators.

The 4 least populous states on the east coast are Maine, Rhode Island, Delaware, and New Hampshire. They get 8 senators with a fraction of the population.

These states have about 5 million people. California alone has nearly 40 million people

To be fair if California were to join that would nearly double the Canadian population and that’s not even counting the other west coast states.

Assuming equal representation rights those would be some huge changes

What extensions do you use?

I’d much rather fight a billionaire than the local baker or the owner of the local pizza shop.

All buisness is exploitative, but our modern world has definently changed the scale and in many ways reshapes the face of the enemy.

Put simply I don’t hate an individual that owns a local buisness. They could probably be reasoned with if we got a proper revolution. These are people just trying to survive against the system. Like us all. They don’t possess the capital to influence our elections.

I think capitalism has become so unrestrained we have to truly consider who the enemy is again.

Cops understand 2 things violence and power. They only follow the people with the greatest access to these two things

Chaotic good

Depends on what you do.

Working at a VA hospital and providing medical care to veterans. Probably doesn’t count.

Working at the NPS trying to keep a park running and its resources protected. Probably doesn’t count.

I think the difference is employees that are trying to continue their civic duties versus those trying to further often illegal executive orders.

This is like saying the US has directly attacked Russian forces because some US citizens joined the Ukrainian military.

No, it’s not. When people use the term “unskilled” for jobs it doesn’t mean “you literally have to have zero skills, not even the ability to user your hands, to do it” - it means you only need a limited skill set and is a job that has minimal economic value. Essentially it’s a job that anyone at any stage could walk into and be able to do with minimal training.

That has always been how the skilled/unskilled labor gap has been broken up.

You’ve bought the lie they’ve been telling forever. Every person that goes to work is performing skilled labor. The only thing a person can do that doesn’t take any skill is being born rich.

Rich assholes that do nothing other than “invest” into a buisness. Every dime made from there is off the backs of working folks. Without our skills the wealthy would be poor.

The minimum wage when it was instituted was designed to represent the minimum wage needed for a single worked to support a family.

Additionally all labor is skilled labor. You either need school or experience to perform a job. I can drop a highly educated neurosurgeon into a restaurant. Without instructions they will fail at the job.

Anyway, all labor deserves a living wage. If you work a full week you should be able to support yourself comfortably.

So main issue with this comment is the UK system allows for more than 2 choices.

Also some people no matter how intelligent just can’t fully grasp a new language. They can become functionally fluent but never academically perfect

You can spend 200 years listening to a language, but if you don’t try to understand it you never will

And typically unenforceable.
