We have loads of historical context as to what “good behavior” means in terms of public office from the era in which the Constitution was written in. The text’s intent is clear to scholars and experts.
It’s also clear that the Legislature cannot write a law which restricts or limits another branch’s power or authority absent explicit language in the Constitution.
I’m not sure what your thought process is here, but your comment reads like someone who saw the headline and that is precisely where your expertise in the field ends.
Capitalism doesn’t require infinite growth. This is some trite line that was invented on Twitter and became the common wisdom in online discussions about the failings of current national and global economic systems. It’s not true. It appears to be true that the current model of capitalism favored the globe over requires infinite growth, but the current implementation of capitalism is not the same as it has always been implemented or will always be. There are more than enough legitimate criticisms of both capitalism writ large as well as current systems, we should be directing our ire through those arguments and not one that is factually false.
House (GOP) Leadership said they wouldn’t do it. Wisconsin’s path to removal is a bit different than at the federal level, too. It appears to be a non-starter.
Ahh yes, taxes which have existed since the first and most basic state came into being – millennia before capitalism, even at its most primitive, was conceived of or practiced – are capitalist.
It’s kind of incredible how teenagers on the internet use the word “capitalism” the same way boomers on facebook use “communism.”

I’m reading Demon Copperhead and I’ve only just realised that it’s based on David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. Somehow, I feel cheated. I hated Dickens in school - melodramatic claptrap - but it does explain the ‘serial’ feel of the book. It’s a clever book, the characters are credible, going beyond...
I have read David Copperfield and no I don’t think it’s necessary at all to read that first or at all. I don’t care for Dickens, personally; I find it often rather obvious that his books were initially published as serials which paid him for length and not quality. I guess I feel he’s more important to literature than he is an author of good literature.
The characters are mostly 1:1 replacements for Dickens’s characters, but this is an essential part of the recipe for the magic Kingsolver weaves on the page. She aims to show the reader, who believes themselves to understand Appalachia its people (but, in actuality, doesn’t at all) what it is like to live there, how it feels to leave and come back, what its people go through — often due to the machinations of outsiders’ deliberate actions.
David Copperfield is the lens Kingsolver uses because it’s familiar to the audience, if not directly at least in form and feel. However, this is where the similarities end. Kingsolver rips all substance and detail from Dickens’s work and instead uses it as a sort of adapter to pour a vision of Appalachia, otherwise unavailable and totally foreign to the reader, into our minds.
I honestly believe that it is the most deserving Pulitzer for fiction in recent history and Ms. Kingsolver’s best work.

Real wages are up in the last two years the largest amount in nearly five decades. Rent costs are down year over year for two and a half years straight. Employment is up, new jobless claims are down, both while hours worked is down. Inflation continues to revert to the mean.
If it doesn’t seem good for you, you’re either an extreme outlier or are just denying reality.
The Danish government will try to find legal means that will enable authorities to prevent the burning of copies of the Quran in front of other countries’ embassies in Denmark, Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen has said....
This logic doesn’t hold up to any level of critical analysis. Burning a physics textbook doesn’t prove there’s no gravity reacting to the offense. Does Islam maintain as a tenet that God will strike down someone burning a copy of the Quran?
I don’t see how working with major manufacturers or being near Detroit makes it likely that this group wants to push an ICE narrative. Ford and GM have some of the most advanced electric vehicle systems in the world and are shipping more EV units than competitors.
