What is the point of whistleblower laws if there is no protections?

Be happy that is only that. My wife is an immigrant and getting her stuff is a fucking nightmare. You will feel like a hostage trying to get your own ransom.

including a special price of 605,000 pesos (battery subscription) or 705,000 pesos (battery included).

That is an instant no for me. These companies keep doing dumb shit.

No point in asking him. He will call them sexy and claim Martians are taking yellow jobs.

He is some reading material on why people hate the NYPD so much. We don't want wrestling matches but shooting someone in the head for $2 is just plan bad. Don't worry there are a lot more examples if you like.

This is when governments should be overthrown. The people spoke and the government did not follow through.

In 2015 and 2018, its voters overwhelmingly approved two constitutional amendments designed to limit partisan influence over maps. The amendments required the Legislature to enact genuinely bipartisan redistricting plans; if lawmakers failed to do so, a new bipartisan board, the Ohio Redistricting Commission, had to draw fair, representative maps.

This process proved easy to game by political actors, because Republican politicians held a majority on the new commission. In 2021 and 2022, this GOP majority enacted a series of flagrant gerrymanders, which the state Supreme Court struck down. The commission flouted the court’s decisions over and over again, running out the clock to the election. It then invited a conservative federal court to impose a gerrymander that the Ohio Supreme Court had already ruled unconstitutional. As a result, the state’s Republicans won a towering and unearned supermajority in the Ohio Legislature.

Look at Republican run states and compare to demographics. You might see a correlation.

Force it back down. Chew and swallow.

Fucking heart breaking that we are still watching this shit unfold. Playing musical chairs with bombing locations need to stop. Those directing the bombings need to be charged. Peace isn't enough anymore, the Palestinians need protection.

 

U.S. home prices have risen 50% in the last five years and rents have risen 35%, according to real estate firm Zillow.

"I keep hearing about the suburban woman doesn't like Trump," he said at a campaign event in Howell, Michigan last week. "I keep the suburbs safe. I stopped low-income towers from rising right alongside of their house, and I'm keeping the illegal aliens away from the suburbs."

At an Aug. 16 campaign stop in North Carolina, Harris called for building 3 million more housing units in four years, on top of the 1 million or so built annually by the private sector, through a new tax credit for developers who build homes aimed at first-time homebuyers and a $25,000 tax credit for those buyers.

  1. Trump's remarks are reminiscent of how red lining was pushed. Same language. John Oliver did a great piece on it.

  1. Harris's plan is estimated to cost tax payers a lot long term. However, that is what investments in our future will look like.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group, estimates those policies would cost at least $200 billion over 10 years.

 

I love the FTC chair. She uses her position the correct way and actually gives a damn.

Google’s research focuses on real harm that generative AI is currently causing and could get worse in the future. Namely, that generative AI makes it very easy for anyone to flood the internet with generated text, audio, images, and videos.

Didn't take companies long to stop pretending like they care. We are fucked.
