This is actually the platform of the Democratic Party.

Trump has had 4 years to put together a revenge plan. Everyone loves to call him stupid, but he and his team can plan things for stupid purposes. He will purge the federal government he cannot directly profit from. That will have profound downstream effects and harm.

Your counterpoint to UBI is a higher minimum wage? Yes, lets ensure everyone must work for the capitalists; that will free us. Wow, you are the poison pill.

Yes, when you are in the northern hemisphere, a sundial shadow falls to the north of the gnomon (the thing that makes a shadow). This makes the shadow move from the northwest to north to northeast over a day, which is clockwise. In the southern hemisphere, the shadow from the gnomon falls to the south, so it starts in the southwest and moves to the south and then southeast, which is anticlockwise.

The most obvious way to see this is the photo of the sundial in Perth, where the hours run anticlockwise.

It's mad that children could some how not deserve or accumulate debt to eat. It's even more mad that its exactly what happens.

The reason for 12-hour clocks is most cultures worldwide have variable length hours of over a year. For Western times this comes from Greeks who had 12 day and 12 night hours. Early water clocks in antiquity would attempt to make that adjustment automatically.

It's almost as if all things Republican politicians say are performance. Like their real goal is naked power at what ever cost. That they will exploit every possible path, I would say that if they though they could do it by being not racist, they would. They have absolutely no principle other than self-enrichment.
