The interview was interesting and glad candidates are willing to go into these hostile territories even if the conversation falls on deaf ears. For me, I was never undecided. I am voting Democrat.
What I want to know: will a Kamala-Walz adminstration have a unified house and senate to push this country forward (getting Roe v Wade codified to start)? All of this focus/media attention on the presidential elections but we need to flip seats.
What’s the temperature across the country right now?

Page mentions “Notice of Amendment(s) to the United States PayPal Agreement(s)”. So it’s likely US only (for now).
If you don’t see the “Data and Privacy” option to opt out on their website or app. Then it’s likely they are not sharing your data, yet.

US has been playing catch up for decades. FedNow was implemented in 2023 to allow instant P2P payments between banks thereby eliminating the need for PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, et al.
It will take some time before we see banks make this fully available to everyone and subsequently merchants using it.

What is everyone’s temperature about the situation here? I have never lived in a hurricane prone area like Florida.
If I was basing it completely on national coverage, I am getting the impression that any region in the path of the Milton will get flattened by sudden sea rise. Even the AP article paints a grim picture:
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A steady rain fell in the Tampa Bay area Wednesday morning as a mighty Hurricane Milton churned toward a potentially catastrophic collision with the west coast of Florida, where some residents insisted they would stay even after millions were ordered to evacuate. Stragglers face grim odds of surviving, officials said
However, looking into it more and trying to be less emotional. Florida’s emergency management system is issuing evacuation orders for many counties in Milton’s path. But some “inland” counties like Polk have no evacuation orders despite adjacent county, Hillsborough, having mandatory evacuation orders [1].
Then if you navigate to the county level (ie, Hillsborough). Only specific zones were issued mandatory evacuation. At this time, residents of Hillsborough county in zones “A” and “B” (and all mobile homes) given mandatory evacuation. People in other zones advised it was optional [2].
What did we observe with Helene? Were these local government evacuation orders completely wrong and devastated areas that previously had optional evacuation?

The state of SCOTUS is abhorrent. We truly are on the verge of a second Civil War. The terrorists have successfully infiltrated all levels of government. And they are not the terrorists featured on your local Fixed News affiliate. It’s your neighbors and often times rural areas.
Democrats won the battle (ie, reclaiming presidency) but have lost the war.

the reason this person has any relevancy (same with the other shit posters on that godforsaken platform), is because hate filled/controversial trash generates the most engagement.
Algos can’t tell the difference between “negative” or “positive” engagement. Only “post has been engaged 1M times, must serve post to more people in bucket/cluster 9. Also serve adult diaper ads, and “alpha juice” ads”

Never protested my taxes before. Has anybody here done this in the past by your self? Or have you delegated to one of these companies that protests on your behalf? Seems the catch is with these companies is that they charge a % of what you supposedly save. But also wondering if the process is “easy” enough that I can get my own appraisal, present that during hearing, and be done with it.
What an asshole. How the fuck did this person have a “valid” CDL license? TX truly does get washed up talent from other states and countries — from doctors to CDL drivers. Personal injury lawyers are foaming at the mouth right now. CDL drivers definitely supposed to be carrying commercial insurance. Company hiring this numbskull didn’t do any DD. That company or insurance carrier will be opening up the check book. 2 deaths — 1 adult, 1 child. 40+ children traumatized for life.

Just Alabama things, I guess. Fuck that state.
Fire was nuts, bros. State, and local LEOs blocked off the entire area between 2nd St and 4th St. 2 firehouses responded. Whole squad showed up. I am thinking it’s a grease fire in the vents. Restaurant probably never properly cleaned the vent hoods. If you ever walked by that place, the fumes from whatever they were burning were quite dank (made my eyes water). Also rubbernecking dipshits worsened traffic and almost got hit by a dumbass driver while crossing the streets, smh.

I would like to see this community flourish during the season like it does on the pretender “front page of the internet” site.
