Was there not a whole team? It's not a solo procedure.

Huh, the quote with context is actually much worse than the headline. I'm impressed.

It's ridiculous how effective "Republicans = economy" propaganda has been.

Drop everything

... and? Panic? Die?

But don't you know, you can't tax the wealthy, they'll just leave! It'll never work, and you'll never get more income.

If she was rich, the response would be, "congratulations!", and if she was an LLC it would be a fine of... 5 percent?

These kind of favors are never about paying something back, it's always a perverse version of paying it forward; this bond is only posted because there's an expected future return on investment.

The comments from the article were surprisingly not bad. One made a good point:

The POTUS started his SotU speech with:

“Now it is we who face an unprecedented moment in the history of the Union. And yes, my purpose tonight is to both wake up this Congress, and alert the American people that this is no ordinary moment either. Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault here at home as they are today.”

I have watched a lot of state of the union addresses and I cannot remember one that began with this stark of warning.

Yet, all the articles being posted are about MTG and whether Biden looked/didn’t look old and who clapped and who didn’t.

That’s a 5-alarm fire bell he just rang, broadcasted out to the entire country and world, pay attention to what’s important

Hopefully we stop wasting this limited resource on fucking balloons.

Edit: well this kicked off a fun and respectful conversation. The information I can find from actual scientists says wasting helium on balloons is bad. The balloon lobby says it is just a waste byproduct. The balloon lobby brings nothing of value to the world in terms of plastic or helium use, so I'm going to go with the science opinion on this one.

What fight? Google is making money, and nearly everyone is playing Google's game following their tune. Google is definitely not losing.

I agree donating to instances and to things you believe in is a good idea.

But declaring that paying for things means they aren't going to be controlled by shitty corporations is just ignoring every other aspect of the global economy.

Key point not in the article headline but in the article itself: they unionized 2 weeks earlier.
