I don't even know why I clicked. I knew exactly what this was.
Am I alone in thinking it was Cameron Crowe's best movie? He seems like a self-indulgent little shit, but remaking Open Your Eyes with Tom Cruise playing a millionaire incapable of self-reflection but simultaneously obsessed with torturing himself with a fake reality seemed almost inspired.
Ah, yes. One of those good Jim Crow policies.
My brother-in-law has one of these trucks. He still lives with his parents, doesn't tow or haul anything, and works as a janitor. He's paying $350/month on the loan just so he can feel cool.
They're saying there was no measurable change in their lives driven by political leadership in the last 16 years? They're arguing in bad faith.
This. Everyone I talk to says, "but socialized medicine has such long wait times." But these same fuckers avoid going to the doctor until it's absolutely unbearable to deal with because it costs to much to find out if it'll get better on its own. So if you're getting symptoms of something and waiting two months anyway, how is your system better?
I'm having a tough time imagining a scenario where you're in too much of a hurry to spend 30 seconds returning the cart, but not too much of a hurry to buy your merchandise and load it in your vehicle.
There will always be wants and needs that go unfulfilled
That's not what 'needs' means.
The fun one is where they brag that older workers are making "substantially more" because they're averaging $22/hr versus $13/hr in 1987. Adjusted for inflation, that $13/hr should be around $35/hr.
More people are working longer for less money.
That's a bad take. The case actually affirmed business judgement rule: the idea that the guy running the company knows how to run it better than the shareholders. It's part of why post-war America is considered the golden age of American manufacturing: Publicly traded companies invested in their employees and wages exploded across the board. A 100 year old court decision isn't the primary driver on a problem that's really only developed in the last forty or fifty years.
"Publicly funded" doesn't mean "publicly owned." Plenty of states give grants and tax incentives to film productions to entice them to work there. That's tax dollars going into a copyrighted work.
And being of a public figure has absolutely no bearing on copyright. If it did, paparazzi wouldn't exist, because they wouldn't be able to effectively sell their photos.
As an individual territory, the U.S. is isolated. As an empire, we have bases on every continent. The risk isn't being killed. It's being declawed.
Not advocating for American imperialism, just clarifying the point.
