I mean the USA as a country IS 250 years old, so I’m not sure where the issue is with that statement.

Except in this case there was nobody living on the island, so the “natives” are all of European descent and overwhelmingly (like 90+%) want to stay part of the UK.

I keep hearing this and can’t believe people are serious with this suggestion. In my mind it’s the most ridiculous solution to time tracking.

Where’s TMZ when you need them? Someone release the photos of him in the morgue or in a coma.

Of course no reporter’s follow-up question with “did… did you just say the Islamic Republic of Japan?”

I always like the quote: “Sober thoughts, drunk words”.

Usually explains how some people become drunk assholes.

What a fucking stupid take. Yes, every single Jewish person knew ahead of time, and not only did they not tell anyone else that day, but also haven’t said anything in the subsequent decades because they’re all a hive mind, right?

Actually what I see are a bunch of people saying he has to go. You must be thinking of the GOP arguments.

Then support and vote for the progressives you want in the primaries, but once it gets to the general, whining “I wish it was so-and-so instead” does nothing.

No 3rd party candidate will win a General Election unless something changes in the way the Is voting system works. Voting for a 3rd party is literally throwing your vote away at best, or helping the Republicans at worst.

It’s either naivety or intentional disinformation to spout otherwise.

Minorities in China are treated like second class citizens. If you’re not Han Chinese, you aren’t “good enough”. People complain about the US being xenophobic, but it’s mature hour compared to China.

Yeah, but this way they can complain about him asking folks to adjust their thermostats, and if people don’t, and there happens to be a blackout, then they can ALSO blame him as if he’s somehow running the Eastern power grids.

They should garnish his Presidential salary just for the principle of it. I bet that would irk him more than the $$.

Ok, but what if you slide the scale a little more and you do open the box, but it’s just gold colored stones. Slide a little more and it’s gold plated so even a surface scratch test shows gold. Keep going more and some of the stones are actual gold, but others aren’t.

See the problem? How much due diligence and expertise do you expect people to have before making any purchase?

Even if that happened and the $505M was allocated, he STILL wouldn’t pay

California also has the stupidest water rights with “use it or lose” it clauses that counters any incentives to become more efficient. A couple families control a ridiculous amount of water rights.

Murder By Death

“I found a bullet hole…. Never mind”

Cost and efficiency may not be the same at all. If the true cost of a utility like water aren’t being passed on to the businesses, then they don’t need to focus on efficiency.

See literally any of the giant farms with legacy water rights in California to understand why there is very little incentive for them to become more efficient with water usage.

Interesting how you attribute no agency to the locals in “once the Taliban are back”. Implying it’s all NATO’s fault and somehow assigning no blame to the locals who just allowed it all to come back with no resistance.

In parallel, initiate a scaling vacancy tax for both commercial and residential properties that rapidly ramps up the longer a property is left vacant.
