It's a pejorative term to describe authoritarian Chinese government apologists. Historically it was used to describe communist members that defended the use of tanks against civilians during a Hungary uprising.
Authoritarian apologists that pretend to be communists. You can find them in the wild typically talking about how great and strong the Chinese government is and how evil and corrupt the "US Imperials" are.
Historically the term was used to describe communist members that defended the use of tanks against civilians during an uprising idln Hungary, hence the name.
Not really. If they schedule oil changes every 6 months the mileage check is to see if they should also schedule like a transmission check so you don't have to keep coming back
I hated that article. I don't need all of the charged language or opinion. Here'sthe WSJ article if y'all want to read it of note, the WSJ isn't really making a determination here. Mostly just quoting out of touch executives and labor firms.
I'm all for work reform but how this comes back on the Wall Street Journal is beyond me.
I noticed that kbin has stalled in development recently and the ongoing problems with federation etc. made me use it even less for the past few weeks. I even spent more time on reddit than here....
Isreal is claiming it is being used as a smoke screen. They have used it on civilian targets before. The next few days will reveal the true purpose of its deployment this time
I’m curious what people here listen to, and I’m also looking for new ones to check out. I’m personally a big fan of Linux Unplugged, MBMBaM, Lateral, and Twenty Thousand Hertz!...
Except using the popular vote means that States wouldn't decide who was president like they do now, the people would.
Under the current system if I vote Red in Chicago I just completely wasted my time. Cook County is so blue that I don't have a voice. Get rid of the Electoral College, however, and now my vote worth just as much as everyone elses.
People seem to think that if we moved away from the College that the population of a blue state will 100% vote blue or a red state will only have red votes. It's just not true. The northern half of California or the southern half Illinois votes way different than their counterparts.
The Electoral College is an outdated system designed for a time when the US had relatively low Literacy and the public couldn't be reliably counted on to be informed. There is no excuse for it nowadays.
Except nowhere is homogeneous. There are red voters that live in cities and there are blue voters that live in small farming towns. Right now they don't have a voice because they are separated into districts that are overwhelmingly red or blue
but get rid if the College and now suddenly your vote is worth just as much as your neighbors, regardless of where you live.
Ehhh... Doctors have a hell of a lot of administrative paperwork for each patient they have to do. That's where the actual time goes. At least for Emergency Department doctors. I can't speak to private practice docs.
What do you mean? The second Ammendment says "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." That's all there is to it. There isn't any other part of that Ammendment. It doesn't have a single other word as a part of it. Don't look it up.
