I used to feel this was a tragedy. Now I feel that those parents aren’t intelligent enough to have children. They deserve what they got. The child died but it was probably going to of something else stupid at some point anyway. A century ago, before we had all the modern medical procedures, a large percentage of children didn’t make it to adulthood. That is going to be the new norm for the parents who know better than “the elites”.
Unfortunately it seems that 8 in 10 Americans also think the Democrats are “just as bad”.
If there is any rationale other than the “we are the USA, we can do whatever we want, whenever we want, for no reason at all”, I would be surprised.
I don’t think that will work. The comparison has been made but doesn’t seem to phase people. I think IED might be only the solution, since the people who drive these don’t seem to care in the least that they are a lethal danger to everyone in a smaller vehicle/on a bike/pedestrian.
Most of the past history of raising minimum wage/payroll taxes/employee benefits has been immediate outcry by business groups over how all business is going to go bankrupt/the sky is falling followed by change that a year later has business chugging along mostly the same as it was prior to their catastrophizing. It’s not really surprising that employees who are able to spend more, spend more.
That’s where the cap needs to be. There will always be someone capable and willing to take the job without the enormous pay packet. Executive pay is the biggest scam ever created.
Oh they realized. But it was their job. To question it might put them out of work. Can’t take the risk. Can’t do anything about it now - try to blame Theil or Trump - even though they are the ones that built it and looked the other way the entire time. It isn’t descending into fascist. It was being built to enable and protect fascism when it came back out in the mainstream.
Probably not care. I’ve already given up on watching movies since American dross is usually what is on offer. TV is from Europe and so far isn’t AI. I’ve been to more live theatre and cultural events in the last year than I was in the previous 10. Unless they start having very realistic robots do the performances and I can’t tell from real actors, that is probably where most of my support of artists will go instead of corporate crap.

I can see that, if you think that just getting the paper is enough. It is contrary to the idea that university was a place to learn how to learn and gain knowledge that could then be used in your life. Undergrads didn’t lead to employment, they led to further career or education opportunities. If all a diploma mill generates is slips of paper without the student gaining knowledge, even $4000 is a gross overpayment.
I returned to university a decade ago to get a degree. I’m not sure I would trust many of the younger graduates to really understand what they studied. They were very good at memorization and most exams had enough MC questions that they could pass but if they were confronted with written long answer questions, the class average went down dramatically. I can only assume that fully online degrees are of this calibre student. Great at memorization, poor at understanding.
If you are really that precarious, you will probably be on the street soon anyway due to Trump’s upheaval around the world. Better get planning on how to be homeless.
Cynic in me but I still wonder if they are pushed in this direction by owners who need to commit insurance fraud because business is bad?
Some way people need to realize we are all human and need to work together for the world but greed of the few, aided by politics & religion used to control the many, keeps getting in the way.
Breville Milk Frother. Got one 10years ago. Really elevates your morning cup of coffee or tea and also great for putting on porridge. They’ve gotten ridiculously expensive though.
Should read "US attack on Iran triggered…
So what? The US causes famine all over the world whenever it wants to for political reasons. Look what Cuba is going through simply because they won’t change government to what the US wants. If there is any karma, Americans should feel some of the pain they so blithely inflict on others.
Over the last 14 months at least one country in the world should have learned that lesson. Trump, and therefore the USA, is completely untrustworthy. It’s why I don’t care how much or little Carney is doing about CUSMA. We know Trump will make whatever deal he wants and then disregard it the next day if that is what he wants then. Why waste time pretending to negotiate?
I don’t mind them reading the Bible, if they are able to read the whole thing, one end to the other. For many people, a thorough reading of the bible beginning to end is what causes them to question Christianity and realize that it is a population control tool for those with power (and riches), not the word of a God. It is such an incoherent mess that cannot literally be followed - if you follow one edict, you break another. Reading it destroys the idea that an all powerful, all knowing God was it’s roundabout creator. If there was a God surely it could have done a better job, even using inadequate humans to produce the product. So, after reading, you know it was a man made project. The Koran and Torah yield similar results. I think that is the main reason why religions try, or have tried in the past, to restrict reading to a select few leaders and try to keep the propaganda to what they want it to mean at any given time in history.
And don’t drive any vehicle made in the US in the last 15years?
