She’ll do what the oil companies tell her to, and they’ll tell her to shut up, when they see the tax discounts it would earn them.

In the end it’s all about the dollars, who has them, and who’s willing to spend them.

Shut off oil exports to the US and send them to the EU instead.

Although my bet is it would take less than 2 months of just shutting them off to change any policy.

Bigotry and racism do come in multiple flavors.

If you don’t let them speak up, how are we going to find the racists? They’re all old so it’s not like they just suddenly appeared when Obama was elected. They’ve been hiding and hidden. Bring the assholes into the light, and let’s get out the dildo of consequence.

It would take years for new mining to begin to come on line. No one takes that risk based on the short term of a single presidential term.

And her on screen husband was 25 or 26 at the time.

I’m a weird guy

I agree, and also think a stupid stunt is a poor way to reach better wages. It’s just a way to placate the masses.

I do avoid most sales. They’re either a lie using a fake regular price, or a low quality product that didn’t sell, so they taking a loss to get rid of it. Either way, not worth my time. I shop for quality products that meet my needs when I need them, not when they’re on sale.

Doesn’t matter, the money is nothing to me, it’s simple principle. I also don’t use store cards or coupons.

I don’t like paying people just to do the job they’re already paid for, and I think it’s bad for society to promote it.

Well hell, wish I’d known this when they dropped off a bunch of flat pack desks. I’m not tipping the guy that just dropped off a kitchen spoon.

I’m betting garbage trucks actually end up being first. A half dozen trucks per human monitor sitting back at the station, with two guys in a pickup to run out to any problems.

Now I’m feeling called out. I keep having these stacks of if statements that could just be a big ass list of and and and, but then it runs into the debate of how much crap should be in one line of code? Especially knowing, at some point, it’s going to be my dumb ass stepping through trying to figure out why this one edge case is the reason we’re not hitting the inner code.

They broke into shit that had already been broken in to, and removed an intrusion. That’s literally their job.

Because they all hired way too many people right after the pandemic and are just realizing they fucked up.

They’re called laser printers. Ink is for idiots, especially if you only print once in a while.

We might see improvement on some deposition materials after the recent discovery on dolomite crystal formation.

So how much closer does this put us to a space elevator? Assuming mass production and fiber creation was even possible.
