Anonymous for a reason (if you want to know, ask). I know that makes me unworthy of engagement by some. So be it. Nothing nefarious just paranoia and self-preservation.

Hello, I thought of you when I saw this post. I’m glad that if this child shows up in your class down the road, you will help them learn to stand up for themself and others. And to fight. bsky.app/profile/audr...

Someone pointed out that many/most/all penalties under the Hatch Act are civil in nature (as opposed to criminal). I am not certain that a President can pardon those.

I may not approve of practitioners of virtue signaling but I very much prefer it to vice signaling.

I wish someone would ask how many US citizens they have killed in these actions.

I’m no economist but I’m not sure the best way to combat inflation is to pump more money in.

Sup Ct: Biden is not permitted to read an emergency clause to provide targeted relief for student loans.

Also Sup Ct: We will not stand in the way of Trump giving money to whoever he wants.

These folks will force you to bring it to term.

They are going to fight against any AI regulation.

They are going to fight for regulation of Wikipedia and the media.

Not a flaw (but I get the point).

That is a really good phrasing of it.

It is only a matter of time before they kill a citizen. No worries, Kavvie will remind us that there *should* be a legal remedy for that.

Can’t be the day after an election if we don’t have elections.

The all caps reply by you is a high form of art.

What is the one you are working on?

If the numbers are bad, someone new at BLS gets canned.

But then Fed can lower rates so maybe no one there gets harassed or fired.

If the numbers are excellent (because BLS lies) the BLS folks are safe.

But then Fed keeps rates where they are and Powell is marched out. It all makes sense.

Though it is a real place to explore Laffer’s insight (such as it is) because you don’t have an upper limit. Which is why when Trump kept going up and up China eventually just laughed at him.

Illinois should insist that the Texas do grounds keeping in city parks (just kidding, Illinois should insist Texas gtfo)

I want to know if any of the mulch spreaders are OH national guard. I have a yard that needs some work when they get home from the front.

But in London?

Surprised this wasn’t a two-fer. They could have fired the person at commerce who posts the inflation numbers. It’s going to be weird when the next jobs report shows +10,000,000 and Fed is forced to raise rates.
