Tons. It turns out that when the government said they wanted to invest in American manufacturing and green energy, that meant giving a ton of money to an American manufacturer that is producing wind farms.

This article is four years old. GE did react and right the ship, eventually splitting into three separate companies for the three business sectors they serviced. All of them seem to be doing fine.

You can look for sword art anywhere. I guarantee the library has some books.

Because last time his number one policy promise was to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it. And his number two promise was an alternative to Obamacare.

He's not so great at following through with his promises. That's the only thing non-MAGAs have going for them: he's pretty incompetent.

I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I'd bought more, just to be safe.

Does your town have a grocery store selling goods at exactly cost?

No, you're describing a co-op. Which my town does have, right across the street from the for-profit grocery store.

A buddy of mine got "OUCH" on the inside of his lip. Ironically, it hurt a lot less than the piece on his shin.

For real. Any gun I could obtain as a private citizen is not going to stand up to the weight of the police, let alone the US military if a true authoritarian regime took over. My right to a hunting rifle doesn't matter when they have tanks and drones.

The bigger problem is that the number of seats in the House has been frozen for about a hundred years. Our population exploded, but our number of representatives stayed static, so places with the most people actually get less representation in congress.

On top of this, the number of electors a state has its equal to the number of representatives that state has in the Senate and the House combined. So more populated states also get underrepresented in the presidential election.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was absolutely fucked, but it's not what is deadlocking the House now and its not what is letting a people lose the popular vote and still go on to be president in 21st century elections.

The real problem is that the size of the House of Representatives has been frozen for 100 years. The number of electoral college votes a state has is equal to the number of reps and senators they have. Since the House hasn't grown alongside our population, the relative representation for rural areas has steadily grown more and more.

Ending the cap on the House would balance out the electoral college issues and help reduce the constant congressional deadlocks we're seeing.

Except that elections happen every year....

The judicial system can get plenty accomplished without juries. In fact, the number of disputes settled by jury trial has dropped drastically in the last fifty years, especially with the Supreme Court ruling on Brady v. the United States in 1970 that upheld plea bargaining.

The result has been a stronger judiciary that more readily upholds state authority. Instead of a prosecutor proving to a dozen other citizens that you are guilty, a prosecutor needs to persuade you alone that, whether you're guilty or not, you'll suffer more if you don't admit guilt than if you do. That's a fucked up premise, IMO.

The difference being the PS4 wasn't backwards compatible. The remaster was intended for people who hadn't and couldn't play the PS3 version.

PS5 is backwards compatible, making this a little more bullshit.

Whoopi Goldberg has that anecdote she loves to tell of being a little girl, seeing Nichelle Nichols on TV, and Whoopi starts running around the house, screaming, "Mommy! Mommy! There's a black lady on TV and she's not a maid!"

Walmart credit card. They don't need to estimate when you willingly provide it.

The only solution is to Harrison Bergeron everyone.

It also gets rid of useless administration and enforcement costs.

But if you're not scanning your card with the checkout, how do they know what you purchased? Scanning on entrance just confirms that you entered the store, while scanning with checkout was used to confirm what you purchased on that trip.

Unless you're using a Costco-issued card at checkout, too, I would have same question. And if you are still scanning at checkout, then this isn't the time-saver they're purporting.

Dollar Tree, too. A friend of mine worked there for two weeks, quit when her first paycheck came as a debit card.

My fiancé was on the phone with her mother yesterday, explaining Project 2025 to her, and her mother literally said, "Oh, Trump wouldn't go along with all that. He used to be a Democrat, so he's petty liberal for a Republican."
