We are likely going to see a rise in infant and maternal mortality rates as well. Most of the states that outright banned abortion are also ones where they didn't expand Medicaid and have fewer hospitals

Pretty soon this will be like a school shooting, hardly making the news and no one cares

I was actually told during a review that they couldn't rank me higher because then they'd have to give me more money. My boss said I deserved it, but they didn't have the money to give it to me.

I started looking for a new job that day.

Depending on where you lived you were plied with anti-union rhetoric. I remember back in the '80s and working at a department store and they had us watch "training" videos about how we were a big family and how unions broke up that family and made us adversaries. I thought it was a bunch of bull, but I'm sure there were plenty of folks that bought into it.

Lately it is getting more like we are not just the consumers, we are the product. It is very uncomfortable.

I don't think anyone is saying that Reddit shouldn't charge the 3rd party apps. Pretty sure they just wanted fair pricing.

He wouldn't have to pay anything if he could have kept his little anus mouth shut.

I give it less than a day before he defames her again.

I wish that when they mention Trump, that they also mentioned that he is liable for sexual assault, fraud and under indictment for (list all the charges in this space). A responsible press would make sure their readers had all the facts each time.

We should have a law that says the representatives don't get paid if they shut the government down because they can't pass a CR.

At least we will still be able to protest if Kamala wins

I hate to say it, but 90% of the articles on Gizmodo could be written by AI and we'd not know it.

The difference between Swift and Trump is that Taylor understands she needs to give back to her fans, in music and performances. Trump just sees his fans as providing something for him, their money in donations and ego boosts.

What was that thing these religious fools like to say? Thou shalt not kill?

Or is he just displaying his "Christian" pro-life values

Hating on people sure is expensive

I used to love that sub. Not that I ever actually exchanged snacks, but I thought it was cool that random people would just get together and mail snacks from one side of the world to another.

They shouldn't treat him as a serious candidate. All they should do is keep repeating how he was held liable for sexual assault, how his business is being taken apart for fraud, and all the other crimes. Instead, they act like he has real policy ideas and it normalizes the extremism

I wonder if the Senate will do the whole trial part and make the House GOP present what they think is evidence?

Medicaid programs are mostly controlled by the individual states and not the federal government. Here they are blaming Biden when it is the state governors that are causing the problem. No doubt if Biden did something, they would have just written an article blaming him for federal overreach.

I think what we need to do to help alleviate some of the immigration issues is not to build a wall and keep them completely out, but to build a better gate. Our immigration system is broken and terribly understaffed, a lot of it is by design because people would rather have an issue to complain about rather thannsolve the problem.

We need immigrant labor and a lot of folks need jobs, so we rework the system to provide more temporary work permits to begin with. There is a system to do this already, it is just woefully inadequate.

Second, we set up a system where people aren't necessarily instantly rejected for asylum at the border. That would keep a lot of people from having to cross the border illegally just to try to claim asylum (which is unfortunately the current process). At the border, anyone claiming asylum could be processed, a background check run and a preliminary determination before a judge. At that point, it could be determined if the person has family or some support system in the US and they can possibly be released with an ankle bracelet to that support, confined until the asylum verdict, or deported immediately if they fail a background check.

This sort of process does three things.

Allows tracking for more immigrants that are going through the asylum process legitimately.

Allows legitimate migrant workers to be here legally which allows us to better track their whereabouts and deport them if needed. It also protects them from being abused by people who currently bring them over illegally. Keep in mind, lots of migrants like this just come here for a few months to work and then are happy to go back home.

Cuts down on who is actually crossing the border illegally. If you provide mechanisms for people to work here legitimately, apply for asylum without illegally crossing the border, then the people who do illegally cross are going to be fewer and much more likely to be the people you really want to keep out.

Obligatory mention of Carter having to sell his peanut farm....
