It’s so cool to have hitched your wagon 20 years ago to an industry that was booming beyond anyone’s expectations and have it turn out to be stripmined and utterly hollowed out by Shareholder Value, and every other industry you could slot into has been, surprise, hollowed out by Shareholder Value

“Stella why do you put up with x or y” what would you like me to do man. I was unemployed for 18 of the last 36 months. Jobs don’t exist anymore. We take what we can get now, warts and all.

"Instead of choosing the executive by national plebescite, we'll choose it in the rational way: a random assortment of low-information voters in states that are relatively populous and politically closely divided."
I don't want the executive chosen by national plebescite, Elie. I've had about enough of populism and I'd think you would have too. You can fix the proportionality problem with a bigger House, but as a resident of Rhode Island, I will keep my 4 ECs, thank you :)

Homegrown Ameriboos are so pathetic
Federalism, by definition, does not care about giving votes equal weight, it cares about balancing the power among members of the federal union.
American schools *do* teach civics, but everyone flunks it now
American schools *do* teach civics, but everyone flunks it now
This is the definition of the slippery slope fallacy.
Arguing that votes should be given equal weight regardless of geography does not equate to arguing that states should not exist.

Only 2 years since the ban on neonics, France's population of insect-eating birds has risen 2-3% - from banning a single type of insecticide. Demonstrating just how much harm we cause birds when pesticides kill off the insects they need for food.

UK has only just closed loophole in neonics ban (‘derogations’) so may be too soon to see recovery here?

Mamdani is a child of privilege therefore his socialism is cosplay designed to rile up downwardly mobile youngsters into stealing money from job creators. Wilson is poor and her socialism is just a way to get job creators to pay for her expenses.
You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

You certainly wouldn't trust your local cops or state police or local officials in ANY way, because they wouldn't be YOURS. And if they abuse you, you'd best shut up and take it. (See the part about "Courts"). You'd fear that every interaction would be an interaction with The State, the Regime.

Your regular reminder that there's a profession where the employees are so violent, so untrustworthy, that they are required by law to have personal video supervision every time they interact with the general public, just so there is any sort of factual record of what occurs.
"Police dishonesty, even on the stand and under oath, is so common that it has its own name (“testilying”), and it has forced prosecutor offices to create what are called “Brady Lists” of officers they will not put on the stand out of fear they’ll commit perjury."
My latest, in @msnbc.com, on how ICE, CBP, and Bovino may be overplaying their hand in Chicago.
Also: this will only make hiring go ICE harder.
And: I hope ppl appreciate that the lying Judge Ellis calls out is NOT an aberration, but a very consistent problem w police claims.
