They didn't leave it off so much as never finish that portion before they stopped. Most likely because they couldn't figure out how to point out Israel was the problem without creating a political bomb. So they just said, nope, couldn't finish this, and walked away.
That ship sailed. It's unlikely the US will be leading in science for the rest of the century. China has already surpassed the US in new research right now, and will most likely keep that lead for at least the next decade or two. The US is likely to lose it's second place status over the next decade, and will probably fall to fourth over a longer time scale.
Jacobin is going all out to fight the dems ever since AIPAC became toxic. Sounds like a bunch of whiney bullshit.
You mean the guy that had just finished running the CIA that brokered the Iran Contra deal during Reagan.
Bush went into Iraq because we never punished Reagan for Iran-Contra.
Reagan got away with Iran Contra because we never punished Nixon for Watergate.
Nixon got away with Watergate because we never punished Johnson for the Gulf of Tonkin.
From the actual bill:
HOWEVER, THAT IF THE WORKING GROUP DETERMINES THAT IT IS NOT TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE TO REQUIRE THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTERS SOLD IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO INCLUDE BLOCKING TECHNOLOGY, THE WORKING GROUP SHALL SO REPORT, AND NO REGULATIONS SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE PROMULGATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE WORKING GROUP DETER- MINES THAT IT IS TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE.
Considering the number of open source 3d printers, and mills, plus conversion packages for manual mills, It's ludicrous to assume it's feasible. And NY has nowhere near the manufacturing monopoly to force the rest of the country, let alone the world, to comply with a demand that all of them have blocking systems.
Even given the safety check of a working group, this same bill also makes a stick illegal. So it's more than likely to fail on a few challenges, assuming it even makes it to final vote in this form.
Somewhere out on youtube are the screen tests he's talking about. It's very good that they chose Hamill and Harrison for the parts. Several of the other actors were great actors, but would have been terrible for the part, and some were just bad.
I'd call them more of an adversary than an enemy. They don't have any real ill intent to the US, but don't care about taking foreign resources from us.
Fucking embarrassing
The global economy is severely weakened, but stable. There is also a long list of developments that could crater everything, both literally and figuratively, and very little to look forward to for the vast majority of the population.
Best case scenario is the ending of multiple hostilities, allowing the resumption of trade, and a slow grinding recovery.
Worst case scenario is an extinction event, either caused by escalation in Ukraine, or to a lesser extent Iran, leading to nuclear conflict.
Both extreme's are unlikely, and the entire range between them is just various levels of who is going to get fucked.
She'd be great as Senate Majority leader. Especially if AOC were to take Schumers seat.
There's a push from corporate dems and AIPAC to shit on the left right now. From articles to paid influencers, expect a lot of bullshit noise, that will probably get louder as the election season goes on.
