“We will not stop calling out and fighting back against extremist, so-called leaders who try to prevent our children from learning our true and full history,” the vice president said in Florida.
The problem is that these mice don’t have Alzheimer’s. They’re bred to develop the symptoms: “plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, which comprise abnormally aggregated β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylated tau protein”
No. Capitalism requires that we ‘work’. I.e. provide output that is valuable to the capitalists. In a normal society, there are other forms of value that merit the person existing.
But also, we’re human. One of the reasons I want people to not starve is that I’m not a sociopath. So sometimes the value a person provides to society is that they’re not starving in the middle of the street. There’s value in that.
No, the owner needs to do that to stay in business. You need to provide output valuable to the owners. The owner can decide whether you need to provide value to the customers or not.
Good point! Let’s start with a definition that’s something like… a society of humans that are treated like humans, and not treated like ‘human capital’, and go from there.
Senator Chris Murphy has dismissed claims by the supreme court justice, Samuel Alito, that the Senate has “no authority” to create a code of conduct for the court as “stunningly wrong”....
If you go by the strict interpretation of the constitution, the SC isn’t even the highest court. It’s only the interstate court. They appointed themselves the highest court in a case.
"The court’s power and prestige grew substantially during the Marshall Court (1801–1835).[17] Under Marshall, the court established the power of judicial review over acts of Congress,[18] including specifying itself as the supreme expositor of the Constitution (Marbury v. Madison)[19][20] "
So they basically said “I’m in charge because I said so”. That’s precarious at best, and it would just take Congress to say “no you’re not” for it to fall apart.
Having the rules in place allows them to prosecute or punish if something bad happens. They don’t need continuous monitoring. Investigating employee reports is fine.
We don’t all want to hate. I sure don’t. It’s too much effort.
Call me lazy, but I don’t waste the effort to hate people. Would I be ambivalent if certain people died? Sure. Am I going to be happy about it, or angry if it doesn’t happen? No. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
The bitter fight between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Byron Donalds over a line about slavery in the state’s revised African American history standards is infuriating several prominent Black conservatives.
President Joe Biden on Friday ordered a historic change to the Uniform Code of Military Justice by transferring key decision-making authorities outside the military chain of command in cases of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, murder and other serious crimes.
But they won’t. They’ll do what they want but in such a way to appear to be ‘trying’, they’ll go back to court because people will see they didn’t meet the requirement, it’ll take a year or two to get back to Supreme Court, get another ruling, wash-rinse-repeat.
When a system can be trivially ‘gamed’ to avoid the rules, then the rules are useless.

"Independent Catholicism is an independent sacramental movement of clergy and laity who self-identify as Catholic "
When you have a closed group, like a religion, you absolutely can set minimum criteria for membership, and disallow self-identification as a valid way to enter. Just like I can’t say I’m Canadian, those people aren’t Catholic. Who says so? The pope. And it’s his call to make.
