Payment processors shouldn’t be acting as a moral authority.

Gimme back my crystal ball!
The frame rusted out where the leaf spring shackle attached, and there’s no real way to fix that.
There is always a solution that involves welding, but unless someone is able to do it themselves odds are it would be far more expensive than finding another used vehicle in better shape.
The dissent on the “it’s a gratuity, not a bribe lol” decision shows that ambiguity isn’t even necessary. Same with the bump stocks ruling. And seceral before that.
The conservatives will pretend there is ambiguity and write pages of rambling pseudo logic no matter how clear the law is.
The real trap is assuming anything from a culture applies to everyone, or even the majority, of the culture.
America definitely has a “fuck it, good enough” worldview for a lot of things and institutions. It isn’t universal, but it does apply where you see a bunch of half assed infrastructure or shelves upon shelves of cheap low quality products that a ton of people spend money on knowing it is poor quality.
Incarcerating them is a benefit for multiple terrible reasons!
The goal is for regulations to be held up via congressional deadlock by the obstructionist party. Can’t make a good or bad decision if you can’t make a decision at all.
Removing the filibuster so those things can be accomplished even if the Republicans have 41 Senators will also be necessary. That is what led to the minor improvements in the ACA instead of actually implementing something better like single payer healthcare.
Dred Scott is the exception that proves the rule.
At a far higher rate than actually employing them at the median income would be as well.
the median state spent $64,865 per prisoner for the year.
The only reason that companies want prison labor is because it is cheap for them since the taxpayers are subsidizing the labor costs.
Overall it would be cheaper for states to just pay the homeless the median income than to incarcerate them. A lower rate that could be described as a basic income that is implemented universally would go pretty far in both increasing the opportunities for the homeless to afford housing and reduce the chance of people from becoming homeless.
These all sound like the same kind of aesthetic as ‘hand crafted’ where you can tell someone put on the finishing touches or details in a way that matched the materials or is a tiny bit uneven.
I would be fine with that if it was free and didn’t reply the ads if I stop and resume.
If I am paying money, then ads are unacceptable.
Rolling coal is this exact mindeset in transportation form.
People don’t generally get to keep the benefits from a crime, and in this case the money is both evidence and also money she never would have been able to legally receive.
Since it comes from the ceiminals it would be neat to let her keep it as a reward for reporting it, but she probably won’t get to.
I look forward to SCOTUS ruling this was a gratuity instead of a bribe.
Only white people can run people out of towns in the US without facing over the top legally supported retribution.
Is anything other than sexting referred to as i appropriate when a minor is involved?
It seems Biden likes to make things happen withiut making a big deal about it, because in a perfect world that sounds like a good thing. Just get stuff done!
But the Dems as a whole need to get better at messaging their victories so they get the credit, which I understand is hard when rage bait sells, but if nobody knows they can’t counter the conservative lies.
…it’s blackmail leverage ignoring the fact that it’s only blackmail material when the government considers it verboten…
…it’s smoking with a clearance…
Smoking with a clearance is only possible blackmail material because the government makes it verboten. Their point stands.
He should have all the justices arrested and put in Gitmo indefinitely, then jam 6 Dem justices to the court and have them undo all the shitty decisions over the last two decades. Arrest enough senators and house memebers to pass decent legislation and ban Trump from being eligible. Then arrest Teump.and have him put to death for treason. Arrest the rest of the Jan 6th insurrectionists and throw them in Gitmo too.
Then put the structures in place to cover the things that let the Republicans set up a dicatorship so we can have a democracy again.
But no, he will.play fair and shoot himself in the dick so that the slide into fascism continues.
