It’s an “announcement” or press release full of crazy.
Basically Govenor Abott (state govenor of Texas) just declared the migrant crisis with asylum seekers coming up from Mexico an invasion, accused Biden and the rest of the federal government of not responding to the invasion and therefore violating the US constitution.
From there, because they broke the “contract”… he’s saying Texas law now supersedes US law and therefore he’s calling up reservist forces to … well I guess we’ll see what they do.
It’s more political rhetoric and fearmongering about immigrants from the GOP… but the crazy thing is taken at face value… he just declared insurrection against the US
Some extra background, Texas law enforcement types were blocking us border patrol agents from doing there job (and saving migrants)
New York’s governor vetoed a bill days before Christmas that would have banned noncompete agreements, which restrict workers’ ability to leave their job for a role with a rival business....
Why do these companies never get it? You want to retain talent… you gotta pay to retain that talent.
More accurately, you want your experienced and proprietary-knowledge-laden people to not take that stuff elsewhere…. Gotta pay them what they’re worth.
Can’t keep lowballing the pay raises, and expect people to not shop around,
There is zero need for him to bring race into this at all. Or even immigration status. The fact that he equates Hispanics as terrorists and feels it’s appropriate to change it to “illegals” is profoundly telling of his views.
Terrorism is already narrowly defined within legal and law enforcement contexts.
This guy is a racist prick who should probably be treated as a terrorist, rather than the people he’s absolutely racially profiling
A six-page handwritten note was found in a flower bed adjacent to where the pipe bomb was discovered. Among other things, the letter allegedly stated:
DEAR SATANIST
ELOHIM SEND ME 7 MONTHS AGO TO GIVE YOU
PEACEFUL MESSAGE TO HOPE YOU REPENT. YOU SAY
NO, ELOHIM NOW SEND ME TO SMITE SATAN AND I
HAPPY TO OBEY. AND ELOHIM WANT ME TO CONTACT
YOU TO
TELL YOU REPENT. TURN FROM SIN. ELOHIM
NO LIKE THIS PLACE AND PLAN TO DESTROY IT. MAYBE
SALEM TOO? ELOHIM SEND ME TO FIGHT CRYBABY
SATAN, BUT WANT ME TO MAKE HARD EFFORT SO NO
ONE DIES. I OBEY.
Not to make fun of it. But you’re right and that’s why they’re so dangerous.
The Biden administration has told key lawmakers it is sending a new package of more than $1 billion in arms and ammunition to Israel, three congressional aides said Tuesday....
It should be noted, that they want that isolation- and they also want people to hate ashkenazi Jews so that maybe they “come home”.
Nothing breeds internal unity like external threats. Cults- and the vast majority of religions use this all the time, to scare people into not leaving.
But how does it compare to HR hiring staff doing the same?
There are those guys that take the x number of applicants off the top of the stack and discard the rest because “they’re unlucky.”
Now i can hear the screams already. AI is programmed with bias and arbitrary bullshit might be less objectionable.
The reality is the ai is programmed by the HR staff. And inherits their bias any how; but at least an AI can be made to ignore race on the face of it, where humans that are racist can’t.
In any case he technically owns millions/billions in assets, but it’s very likely that he’s lived by taking out loans on capital gains, and that every tangible asset he has is already leveraged as collateral for that.
Which means none of his properties are actually able to serve as collateral in a bond agreement (where whatever company puts up the cash and deals with the hassle of selling and maybe not getting enough to cover it. So they usually take more in collateral.)
Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.
the worst part is that she filed a provisional ballet, which basically says “I’m not sure I can vote, but this is my vote in case I can.” she was 100% upfront about it, and I’m pretty sure her vote was never counted anyways.
At least four car companies’ data collection and sharing practices are under investigation by the Texas attorney general’s office for potentially violating state law on deceptive trade practices, according to documents obtained by Recorded Future News....
Though NSM-20 imposes no new legal requirements, it also asks Secretary of State Antony Blinken to report to Congress by May 8 on whether he believes Israel has complied with the assurances....
Human life is to be protected, rescued etc. in all cases.
We need to stay absolutely clear with that, because everything else creates terrible moral problems, for you and all the people around.
lol. What a perfectly black and white world you live in. Your harsh reality causes a lot of terrible moral problems too. Like assisted suicide for people who are terminally ill. You would insist they live in excruciating pain, unable to communicate, or otherwise live life without extensive life support; simply because …. Why again?
We should have a right to suicide (though maybe not in a manner that puts others at risk.)
A 56-year-old Snohomish man had set his Tesla Model S on Autopilot and was looking at his cellphone on Friday when he struck and killed a motorcyclist in front of him in Monroe, court records show....
this guy should get everything coming to him. FSD/autopilot is not good enough to take your hands off the wheel and not pay attention to the fuck’s going on around you.
that said. Tesla absolutely should get a massive wrongful death lawsuit and get fucked by the courts.
She was trying to politely suggest the guy is a misogynist.
Assuming you’re male, that’s more likely the difference than anything else.
You don’t have to feel the same way, but I recommend learning to recognize that he treats them differently; and that their opinions are also valid will help.
The British museum was set up to preserve artifacts which would have been looted or destroyed, not to mention it’s completely free to enter. Almost everything in there would have been lost (although I’ll admit the Greek stuff seems like it was probably not given)
I guess that’s what you’re referring to as “hate”? but just to clarify… the museums… looted… artifacts. You can try and justify it with “but it was to preserve and protect them and to expose that culture to others”; but at the end of the day, it’s still looting and it wasn’t the British’s artifacts to preserve; and many of the artifacts were sacred to the cultures they came from.
