Their currency is so worthless they can’t afford to import anything, so this makes sense.
Sure, YOY inflation is over 200%, the poverty rate is almost 60% of the Argentinian people, and the unemployment rate is all but unmeasurable as millions of people have moved to working in the underground economy, but hey, we got a trade surplus, so the titans of industry can still get theirs!
Don’t forget the chronic defunding of public schools, leading to less individualized attention and overall lower quality of staff
Or be invested in managed funds with high fees that are performing poorly vs index funds. My 403b is definitely up over this same period, but I’m only in index funds
No, but I have my son take a shower before bed every day 'cause kids get gross
Have you tried having your son take a shower to wash his own asshole, or are you teaching him washing his own asshole is gay
This has definitely been happening forever. Unnecessary fillings are par for the course. I went to a new dentist once and on the first visit he told me I needed 3 fillings. I declined and a high pressure sales pitch followed. I went to someone else the next time who said there was nothing that required immediate attention. I’ve been going there for years and just now needed one filling from her.
Lots of other people would just trust the first sleazebag dentist, or lack the confidence to say no, making this a serious problem. Licensing boards need to hold their licenses accountable for performing ethical work
I don’t think you’re the target audience of Barbara Bush or People magazine
For a younger, moderately conservative woman who sees Trump for who he is, this sort of endorsement can give them cover to vote for a Democrat
One iPhone has about 8 billion transistors in it, so makes sense
Goddesszilla is a movie I didn’t know I wanted. I hope they go into graphic detail about the 'Zilla reproductive cycle
I’d be interested to culture petri dishes off my hand after I use a new paper towel to turn off the faucet vs grabbing the wet handle with my entire hand and shutting it off and then drying off my hand…
Paper towels folded over on themselves absolutely create a barrier between my hand and the door handle. I’m not talking about flushable paper or toilet seat covers
I wash my hands before I piss because my dick is the cleanest surface in that bathroom. Touch nothing afterward without a paper towel barrier
The question was about early voting though? Voting by mail is only a small piece of the early voting total in most states
Early voting in the US as we know it today, meaning going to a polling place to cast your vote in-person prior to election day, started in Texas in 1987 and spread to other states from there. Every state has its own specific rules regarding how long the early voting period lasts, and other aspects like how long polling places are open each day may even be left up to local governments.
Where I’m at in Texas, we have some early voting locations that stay open until 10pm, even on weekends. I’ve never had to wait more than 20 minutes to vote (and usually less) since I started voting in the 2000 election. We have 12 days to vote before election day, and even a website with real-time updates on wait times at each polling place across the county.
The drawback is there are fewer voting sites open during early voting, so people with transportation barriers will have to expend effort to get there, but you can do so on whatever day works for your schedule. On election day itself, way more polling sites are open, so there’s likely to be a site within walking distance or a short drive in denser areas, but lines are much longer than during the early voting period, and many people have to work because it’s a Tuesday and not a holiday
Also, Mississippi, Alabama, and New Hampshire have no early voting and pretty much require everyone in the entire state to vote on election day.
Will they get “pissed off” by this though? Reality has demonstrated time and again that the people actually being wronged don’t particularly care about being wronged, as long as it’s part of their leader’s “strategy.”
Growth doesn’t matter as long as people still treat the currency like it has value. Most of that debt is owed the the people of the United States, and as long as the US govt continues to pay interest on T bonds and make Social Security payments people will continue to have confidence in the system.
Take a look at Japan as a more advanced example of this, with a larger debt as a percentage of GDP than the US and still maintainjng a sustainable economy despite population shrinkage
The Department of Homeless Services says it’s cut ties with three nonprofits cited in the report and were seeking corrective measures from at least two others.
Right there below the headline it mentions how the city has already taken corrective action on this. The headline in particular doesn’t play well to a national audience, given that it’s an article only about NYC and whose target audience is NYC
Lead exposure doesn’t make you weird, it makes you dumber and increases your risk of cardiovascular problems and dementia later in life.
Air lead exposure in the US dropped off a cliff in the late 70s, people born after 1980 had very little lead exposure from the air on a population level
After the end of the Cold War, there’s a clear trend in US spending where it ratchets down every year during Democratic administrations and up again during Republican administrations. The only exceptions are the first two years of the Obama admin, after he inherited Bush’s wars, and 2023, after Russia invaded Ukraine
This is well within the margin of error and not worth this headline
