Why does everyone keep saying child poverty?

Like, do children in other countries have some sort of massive wealth I'm not aware of?

Equipment and training for servicing as well.

One of the reasons I'm against the current immigration policy of the US is it creates this under caste of people who can be exploited heavily by certain industries.

While in this example technically all citizens lack the same protections, the carve out in these laws always just happens to align with whatever industries rely heavily on migrant workers.

From my example it's clear the average Florida voter doesn't want an assault weapons ban, that's for sure.

No one said ignore mass shootings.

Just gun control in areas it's unpopular.

There are other methods of attacking the problem than gun control. They won't be as effective, but they will be more tolerated by the average American voter.

Take the Florida governorship. DeSantis won out by the skin of his teeth the first go around.

The reason Andrew Gilliam lost was he kept going on about bringing an assault weapons ban to Florida. Such a ban would have never made it though the legislature, so it was an empty promise on top of an unpopular one.

So he shot himself in the foot for no gain and we have been stuck with pudding fingers ever since

Democrats need to understand to pick their battles and read the room.

I'll tell you that it's super nice to be able to watch things with other people in the car while you are all waiting on the car to charge.

Also, you don't have to hold a phone and the screen is better.

Aside from some fish which evolved with no eyes (which is kind of cool), the only other thing you are likely to find down there is a dead body that everyone decided was too dangerous to recover.

I argue that the feel of BotW is a return to Zelda origins. It's the most any game has felt like the original Zelda.

There original Zelda game was a game about exploring a giant over world to find it's secrets. The dungeons weren't puzzle filled, they were essentially just combat challenges.

... It's that feeling that you are setting out on a difficult journey of exploration across a giant world with no support.

Every Zelda game since the original has felt smaller in comparison because the role of the over world got shrunk to just a thing to connect dungeons.

My favorite is AlttP which I think has the best balance between dungeons and over world exploration, but I prefer over world to modern dungeons we got in skyward sword and such.

Ah, another excuse I can add to my pile of excuses I tell myself about why I don't try to date.

No social media.

Yes, the early days when games where literally 10 bucks an hour to play.

I miss you, Cyberstrike and Airwarrior.

Emigration is to leave, I think you mean immigration.

Trump won't be able to withdraw from NATO; Congress is currently revoking the Presidents ability to unilaterally leave the alliance specifically in case Trump or another like him is elected.

Leaving NATO will now require an act of Congress, which makes it much more difficult for any president to do so.
