It does seem the power of the judiciary will be challenged quite soon.

It will probably be with a tweet saying “Make me. You and what army?” and the courts will need to rely on the US military choosing the Constitution over the Commander in Chief.

May we all have the fortune to live securely in less interesting times. I suppose it is our duty to make that happen.

Probably not a lot of drunkards where all alcohol is illegal.

I agree it feels very slow, but identifying the correct action and then building consensus around that action takes time. Once consensus is built it is very stable though. That is supposed to be the biggest benefit of democracy; stability built through coalition.

Then they’ll come out easy. We just went over this!

If you have a tent put it up on your bed. Good insulation below and traps convection heat loss. Would not advise doing this with candles.

And it’s not even the correct measurement tool. This just proves the ground is level WRT gravity. The earth could be flat on an angle WRT gravity and that bubble would be off.

Robert Moses?

I’m loving this saga. Better love story than Twilight.

Thank you for the write up. That distinction makes a lot of sense.

Ahh fantastic point. There isn’t really an incentive for the individuals to maintain/perpetuate the institution.

I understand the sentiment. I’m wondering about the efficacy of the strategies to achieve those end goals.

I don’t agree with this. Shareholders extracting value from a company is arguably more of an ‘inefficency’ than treating employees fairly. Well treated employees provide a benefit to the company while shareholders purely remove resources.

I have no data to back up my claim, just logic, so I could very well be wrong.

Congratulations (if this isn’t a joke)!!! I’d love to help make the world habitable for your child.

It’s a bird, so that’s prob the he.

That you very much for writing this up. It is super interesting, and I feel bad for dismissing her. Unfortunately, I will probably continue people whom are the vague they.

I disagree. Minimum wage is minimum wage. If you don’t care about the moral implications of the for profit prison system… Paying equal wages for prisoners will force higher wages in the non captive population.

You have my attention…

Anyone have a War Thunder Forum vs Hegseth leaked classified information chart going? War Thunder had a few years head start, but Hegseth seems really committed to overtaking.

Also fucked by JP Morgan if memory serves.

Instead of POC, I think the closest equivalent to a modern circumstance would probably be part of a repressed majority, like apartheid South Africa or British India.

He was obviously a POC, but it wouldn’t have the same social implications it does today. He did live in a Roman province where locals had inferior rights to Roman citizens. I think it’s a more historically accurate (but probably less useful) parallel for this post.
