The canal is on a crash course with climate change. They’re going to need absolutely massive investment to operate once the lake dries up, and they’re not pulling in massive profits to pay for that. If Trump wants lower fees, he best be ready to pay for them. The reality though is that he’s probably just betting on failure.
You know a good union would prevent this kind of thing.
It would take years for new mining to begin to come on line. No one takes that risk based on the short term of a single presidential term.
Never use a name during sex. Too much of a risk getting the wrong one.
I’m sure this will just be a misunderstanding that will be cleared up in no time. Let me know when that happens.
… I’ll be in my bunker.
They need a unified front against Trump’s trade war. Even if that means working with China.
There is never a path for the speaker of the house to become vice president. Either the President and Vice President are dead and he’s president, or he’s still just the speaker.
As others have pointed out, before or after the electoral count is completed, makes a minor difference. It would be interesting to watch it play out.
It has informed legislators that laws they otherwise might support, have racially biased flaws. That’s pretty much the sum total of it’s influence on anything.
It’s not a policy question it’s a media question. The right started taking over news media the day Nixon resigned. Repealing the Fairness doctrine, ending League of Women voters debates, propping up Fox news, and Sinclair media buying out all the local stations. That’s the decades long community goal they’ve been running. The left needs to understand it, and how to fight it, because MSNBC isn’t doing it.
It’s lack of direct evidence. Trump operates like a mafia boss. No paper trail, always use euphemisms for direct action, use intermediaries for voice communication. That’s why everyone around him got caught and prosecuted, but he didn’t. The entire case would be hearsay interpretations. Federal guidelines wouldn’t let a prosecutor take that to trial. Usually in that case they go for intimidation to get a confession, which doesn’t work on a megalomaniac narcissist.
If he’s using AI scraping, we should set up bots that invent other Trump family members as orangutans. Also label all cat and dog photos as the opposite. All insect pictures labeled as republican or conservative.
Nothing but anecdotal, but it kinda looks like Bluesky is becoming a thing. Couple that with a lot of people taking a step back from the world right now.
Poland’s military is about half again larger than Ukraine prior to the war, large portions of it are very well trained, and their equipment is significantly better. If they decided to march to Moscow, nothing Russia has, short of nukes, would slow them down. And Poland would really like to discuss with them, some of the things that happened in WW2, in an up front and personal way.
The US still makes massive amounts of cotton. That all gets exported to other countries before getting turned into garments and things.
Coffee, tea, and everything you’re wearing right now.
Very true, and if the nuclear threat goes away, it’ll look like a pack of junk yard dogs let loose on a kitten.
If not for nukes, Poland probably would have rolled Russia by themselves. The rest of NATO could just be emotional support.
Set executive pay to a multiple of median non managerial pay, with bonuses for the median out pacing inflation. With a quarter size bonus for profit increases.
Make it federal law for all publicly traded companies, and also require labor representation on the board of all publicly traded companies.
Just don’t say any of that before an election, because you’ll end up with less media coverage than Vermin Supreme.
Past tense, you’ve already been judged, he’s deciding the consequences.
I think someone looking to milk billions in government contracts has been talking to Trump, and offering kick backs.
