The Goat?

Meanwhile 250B unfunded to start a war in Iran from which fuckall was gained, and much other than money was lost, is unquestionably funded.

Just like afghanistan. iraq.

If you haven't seen "a million ways to die in the west", it was a Brooks-worthy send-up.

Reminds me of signs in Oregon “No littering, $500 maximum fine"

Like why the fuck would you put the max when it's low? Talk about a Cobra Effect..but that's the point, it's not desired to be effective, might inadvertently make driving slightly less appealing and cut some infinitesimal slice of big oils profits to be able to cross the street safely.

The problem with the "reinvestment" thesis is that the US and certainly not California, aren't some fledgling economies struggling to develop and grow--wealth is so unhealthily concentrated it leads to those with outsized portion of the gains investing in things for the sake of investing rather than actually doing anything good for the economy(let alone nation) long term.

Billionaires have wealth managers and investment teams throwing money at returns regardless of externalities, tax minimization, lobbying...they aren't putting money into anything "real" that anyone on main street or any other street would benefit from.

5% one time seems so poorly thought out it was designed to be voted down by those who want real change (permanent, ongoing), which is anyone not in the 1%

Probably just a coincidence.

To ensure proper pizza allocation, we will require Lazer engraving on our work unit (employee) necks here at META to ensure desirable fun ratios are achieved.

Politics

What does "X country corporation" in any industry mean when they have shell companies in the Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Ireland or wherever tax rates and shelters can be best structured?

Corporations have always been and will always be resource leeches that will abandon a country once they no longer have any blood left to suck. The host organism here in the US has already been overcome and Corps are about to start digesting previously pristine federal lands and forests for mining, forestry, and the critical national interest of off-road ATVing.

There are no "country" corporations, they lobbied to be extra-national deliberately.

This Stanford math is over my head.

It's because when you write assholes well, assholes can't help but deliver.

Google Voice user for 15 years and I've had about 3 instances where my number wasn't usable for 2FA, mostly because, to your point, by the time companies that care about security learned about voip #s they realized they are mostly used legitimately and sms was insecure anyway. Luckily I found a great FOSS auth app, which I prefer to sms anyway; especially if traveling I don't have to depend on a mobile connection to be able to complete 2FA.

There has never been a bigger windbag, so he may have a legitimate claim in there somewhere.

Let's also remember it's not "right wing leaders" who have passed 99% of the laws in Oregon in the past what, 30 years? Democrats sold out 30+ years ago and it's been lip service to meaningful change ever since. They aren't putting religion in schools or restricting voting, but corporate Democrats are the fucking problem in Oregon as they are centrist at best. We need support for progressives (which we're starting to see finally break through in local elections) to meaningfully change things and move the pendulum back to the left.

1700 students graduating, little shock one may have had a cell phone

Does the bill create a registry of employers who come to interviews they schedule unprepared?

Does the bill create a registry of employers who have jobs listed that they aren't actively hiring for wasting applicants time?

Does the bill create a requirement to post the hiring wage range so as not to waste everyone's time?

Unilateralism is fascism.

Older people can be just as bad as young ones about phone addiction and poor habits let alone manners

Because the problems they raged about are systemic, and the system didn't change.

If someone is completing what you ask of them, the ONLY reason anyone would ever care about what they do with their time is ego. But muh underlings! But muh meeting attendees! But muh sense of power!

Dinosaur companies will continue to suffer as they should.

As it should be. They will lock you up, deport you, tread on your rights unless you're rich or powerful or pose a threat.

Politeness should have gone out the window long ago.
