No they don’t. They deport the guy working for his family and fine the employer. Imagine the opposite situation where working illegally was a fine and employing illegal workers was losing your business license.
That’s how they punish underage drinking. It’s a massive issue for bars, and a small issue for the kid. Consequently, no bars serve underage kids. It works.
So vote for Biden this year. Trump, as president, could ask people to commit crimes and then just pardon them. Nixon only resigned because it “looked bad”.
There are no legal repercussions as long as no one rats the president out. Why would they when he can pardon them?
Or an immigrant. Or a woman (especially if you’re pregnant). Or if you lived near black people or immigrants. Or if you had long hair. Or maybe the local bank manager just didn’t like you. These were all acceptable reasons to deny your loan application prior to credit scores.
They literally made decisions based on things you can’t control. Banks are now legally prohibited from even asking these things. If you notice, people working at a bank will never ask “where are you from?”
“They want law and order … every week they’re being robbed,” Trump said of businesses in New York, as he tried to compare his prosecution with the state of New York streets. “You know where the crime is? It’s in the bodegas.”
Lol. This bodega is in a sleepy part of Manhattan with immigrants and young families. The major “crimes” are rent prices and a few losers stealing ho-hos.

Russian propagandists were openly hoping for a hung jury and were visibly disappointed when Trump became a convicted felon on all 34 charges he was facing.
Shanahan, a millennial patent attorney and California mega donor
Hmm…
Kennedy chose the 38-year-old tech attorney, he said, for her experience in emerging technologies like AI and has spoken positively about her track record on the environment and inquisitive mind. She boasts a compelling personal story, having grown up on welfare, with a hard-scrabble upbringing that runs counter to his elite family. She was also, presumably, chosen to round out his ticket in the gender and age departments.
Shanahan, the source said, is someone who has had “the whole deck stacked against her” and has ascended to become “a living embodiment of this American dream that is evaporating for so many people.”
“I think it’s going to resonate with a large swath of the electorate,” the source said.
Why would I care that she is a Millennial who “made it”? She’s a patent attorney. How is she going to help me and people like me at all? She likes “AI”, the “environment”, and has an “inquisitive mind”?
Millennials are not that stupid. I don’t think they care if someone “like them” is elected, unless that person has good ideas. It’s like when Republicans run one of the few brown skinned people they have. Most non-white people have been lied to for decades. They’re not going to be tricked that easily.
Fucking Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell were two of the most qualified black Republicans and they couldn’t move the needle for them.
That’s a rule that should stay. They are literally no qualified candidates under 35. There are barely any qualified candidates over 35! There needs to be an upper limit though. At 70 IRAs force you to take withdrawals; it should be the same for the president.
I’m saying that Beijing has legitimacy in the eyes of the people of China, and has had that legitimacy for at least 1700 years. Forget Albany. You have to look at this from the point of view of a country that thinks it’s thousands of years old (rightly or wrongly). The capital of Italy is Rome, and it will always be Rome.
exposing customer names, phone numbers, email addresses, login IP addresses, home addresses, and order details.
So, nothing important? You know what else has names, phone numbers, home addresses, etc? Publicly available databases. It’s called a phone book. IP addresses? Please. It’s not static anyway and it might just lead to a VPN.
All I know is, this dude sounds half asleep. Nothing he said makes sense.
He’s probably just playing with words, trying to score meaningless points. Ignore people like that. They will never be convinced because they just playing around.
Uh, no it’s not. Producers are in charge of getting more money and representing the interests of the investors. They take orders from investors. They only hire accountants to count revenues and expenses.
Accountants are just human calculators. They literally just count. They don’t make any decisions unless they’re asked very specific questions like “how much revenue do we expect in the next quarter?” Or “how much money would it cost to do x, y, and z?”
Do you blame your calculator if you spend too much money? Or do you blame your bank if your account has no money in it? That’s crazy.
Plus y’know the unreal amount of money it pays for work that isn’t even that hard once you’ve built the muscles.
Don’t sell yourself short. Pay isn’t about how hard your work is. It’s about how much money the company makes off of you and how quickly they can replace you.
This was obvious during the pandemic when all the “low skill” jobs hiked their wages. It turned out most office jobs were not as important as retail work, so lots of people in retail got raises for the same work.

I think you should have given them a three day ban earlier as a warning. Three day bans are nothing. I used to be a moderator and have been banned myself. Three days is like a timeout, and no one is hurt. It just says “cut it out”.

But humans have literally millions of years of social and cultural development in our brains. You think babies are a blank slate, but they are hardwired to be social and learn whatever their parents teach them.
You don’t have to teach a baby what a human face is. You don’t have to do anything but talk to a baby, or talk near them, to teach them language. Their brain automatically makes connections and creates new sentences.
Humans are experts at inference (moving from specific examples to general rules). That’s why a child will learn what a “doggy” is, and then refer to a cow as a “big doggy”. They’ve already internalized that a dog is an animal that walks on four legs. If you tell them ‘It’s a cow. The cow says “moo”.’ they will quickly get the idea.
I think the main problem with AI is we try to train it in a few months. Humans are experts at making connections and we expect it takes decades to train them.
You are still acting like there’s some change that Biden could make fix this. He can’t. This is a diplomatic apology, not a personal one. He’s saying “I’m sorry, this is the best America can do.” That’s an apology, whether you think it is or not. If it wasn’t, then countries would rarely ever apologize for things they can’t fix.
You’re also assuming that Zelenskyy doesn’t understand this, or would be insulted by this. You call it “useless”. As the leader of another democratic nation, Zelenskyy understands it very well and most likely receives it in the way it was intended.
Your comment is just wrong, and I expect an apology illustrating how you will change your ways.
While they remain overwhelmingly aligned with President Joe Biden, his level of support is lower than in 2020. And Donald Trump’s Black support is often clocking in at levels that would outpace all previous Republican nominees in the modern era.
These findings have produced understandable skepticism, fueled by red herring polls in past campaigns suggesting surprising levels of Black GOP support that failed to materialize on Election Day.
🤨
Ozma, you need a hobby. Biden is living rent free in your head.
You sound like you don’t know about the history of politics in the US. Trump’s cover-up of the payoff was illegal because it’s happened before. That’s why there’s campaign finance laws. Elections were undoubtedly more corrupt in the past.
There’s not going to be a Civil War. Stop believing all the posturing that Texas is doing. They can’t even survive a bit of cold weather (or a bit of hot weather!).
