Not OP and certainly IANAL but as far as I know there is NO law that forbids the use of masks for ICE agents. However, hiding their ID or refusing to identify themselves during detention or arrests IS illegal. However, the law states they have to show ID/identify themselves “as soon as practical and safe to do so," so they could theoretically just say they thought they’d be in danger by showing ID as flimsy of an excuse as that sounds.
However, it is rather hilarious that they are pretty much all wearing masks while the political party parading them around is currently on a very real rampage to stop pretty much anyone in public from wearing masks for any type of public demonstration or event.
It’s theatre. Plain and simple. They just want the spectacle of unruly violent riots and the whether that happens or not, they will make it look like it happened. Nothing makes a protest look like a warzone like the literal military being there.
Bad times for science intelligence with Trump
This is exactly what some of the biggest manufacturers of cars in America are thinking of doing. They manufacture in America but a lot of the parts are imported and would cost them a fortune to import. It’s cheaper to move factories to China, build the full part, and then ship it over because the tarrifs are higher on the individual tech parts inside the assembly than a finished product using those parts.
Completely agree. There are some things ai clearly struggles very hard with but the rate at which it is improving in just about every single facet is insane. I mean just take a look at this, this was unimaginable like literally months ago. That thing is 100% ai generated. Sound, visuals, script… everything is made from a prompt in a few minutes. And we’re still basically just at the infant stage. Just imagine what the hell these things will be doing in 20 or 50 or 100 years.
That was my first thought too. I guess they mean like bigger as in impactful or more serious?
Oh they’re already on it. Biden was the winner btw. When asked about how crappy the economy has been since the tarrifs he said perhaps the most expected thing possible:
“I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy because he’s done a terrible job.”
I mean this is categorically false. The gold medal winner for the women’s marathon at the last Olympics had a lower time than the average finisher on the men’s side. 10th place in the men’s marathon would have won gold in women’s by over 15 minutes. Even on a pretty basic level, an 18 year old woman has the same qualifying time as a 60 year old man for the Boston Marathon.
The only time I’ve seen women compete are when the length of the races get massive. I’m talking like ultra marathons or the moab 240 or something. It is possible to see women legitimately compete with men and even win there but it’s still pretty rare (look up Courtney Dauwalter if you want to see something really impressive). It is very interesting to watch the gap close as the length of the races increases tho.
Lol the country has gone through two wars based around revolting… It can and will happen. Definitely not with this tho… You need people pissed off. Right now, we have some people pissed while a whooole lot of other people are not only happy with what’s happening, but in a state of pure ecstasy.
This is one of the most glaring problems with tariffs. Companies raise their prices and the tariff becomes basically a tax on the people. But within that is hidden the fact that gigantic companies can often hold off on raising prices because they have the money to deal with it in the short term and the massive markets to pull in discounted prices from suppliers. The result is humongous businesses like Walmart keep their prices low through the tariffs while your mom and pop shop down the street has no choice but to raise prices or go out of business cause they don’t have the kind of margins bigger companies do. They raise their prices, everyone flocks to huge businesses like Walmart who kept their prices lower, then mom and pop close up shop cause they aren’t selling anything at the higher prices. Then Walmart can do whatever they want cause they just tagged tariffs into the ring and murdered the competition. Tariffs have their place but they largely suck ass in a multitude of ways.
Lol I thought the first thing. Tien is my boy but he ain’t got it like that unfortunately.
This is a strange take. Just because they blatantly skirt (or take a big fat dump on) the law and ignore their own hypocrisy routinely certainly doesn’t mean it’s useless or stupid to continually point it out.
He said not long ago that they were looking at it as a feature because it consistently kept correcting him and calling him out lol. It was one of his (many) dumb ass tweets where he just said “investigating” or “looking into this” or some crap. I would not be surprised at all if it’s changed or removed very shortly.
Dang so it sounds like new Zealand has had a bit of a time with housing for a while then huh? I’ve heard a lot about it recently but just assumed it was a relatively new probably (post 2000-ish)
Fyi $650 in 1976 is about $3600-3700 adjusted for inflation.
Not saying it’s the case with these people but you can definitely be a huge loser without people being mean to you.
You guys are all fools. This is a good thing! The Art of the deal! This is just from Thursday:
“We’re seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers and truck drivers are worried about their jobs.”
“That means we lose less money … when you say it slowed down, that’s a good thing, not a bad thing.”
I kinda agree. I think the much bigger story would be the fact that he’s threatening a singular company with a specific tariff of they don’t do what he likes. I don’t even think that’s legal, especially without congressional approval tho I could be wrong. In any case if we start going down the road of picking and choosing which specific companies get to have tariffs or not we are going to fly so fast down the slippery slope of corruption my ass will break the sound barrier
It’s not even a negative question really. It boils down to “what do you say to the people who disagree with what your are doing/planning on doing?”
Oooooh the horror of confronting the very idea of people disagreeing with you. What a nasty question.
