Remind me again how Dems are really anti-worker?

We have the Biden administration consistently fighting the pardon student debt, fighting for unions (despite the frequent misrepresentation of facts trying to frame them as union busting), etc.

Then you have Republicans dragging student relief efforts through appeals, repeatedly putting government payroll at risk for shits and giggles, etc.

That's not what a share holder is

Hahah yep. But it'd be a nice precedent to twist this upcoming president in knots.

It won't. He owns the SCOTUS. They will twist president precedent in knots to justify whatever they want.

MAGA paraded with more direct threats of violence on signs, after Jan 6th, with no accountability.

Great fucking job, worst Carolina.

Maybe being transparent about their manufacturing defects would have been a good start.

Ohh, all of our users are getting frequent BSODs? SMOKE BOMB!

1.5 - Everything is simultaneously awesome and unfair at the same time. I.E. childhood.

I can see how that deep windshield would help navigate tight spots / ensure you can see pets and children, low retaining walls, curbs, etc. These trucks mostly need to navigate surface streets and unfamiliar residential which can have tight spaces like long and narrow gravel driveways / access roads.

Makes total sense to me. Hope they have backup cameras too

MAGA worship their billionaire overlords. And private Healthcare. Because the socialized programs many of them benefit from are from the devil.

Litercola? Do we sell litercola?

Aye

Motion to amend internet user qualification criteria to exclude smarmy douches like this

That sounds like the point. This town decided that it did not want that city life.

Edit - In that zone. It very well can have higher density zones too.

Ok. What part of that conflicts with what I said?

If he cheated on taxes, then fuck him. But I think it's generally assumed that these fucks all cheat on their taxes. So if you're going to go after one, then go after all of them.

And again, he's not actually a politician, and was only targeted because of who his dad is. If you don't see that as abuse of authority as revenge against his dad, then there's no point in talking to you.

Also, if you read the fucking article yourself, it never goes into details on the tax charges.

What's amazing to me is that you people fall for the rage bait every time.

If you're being serious, the gun charge is that he checked some box on a gun application stating that he didn't have any drug addiction problems. IIRC, it was after he got his shit together and was sober.

I didn't follow the tax evasion charge.

A lot of people here missing the point. We don't care about this because Hunter was the target of a witch hunt. The actual "crimes" weren't impactful at all. The Republicans literally spent 8 years dragging him through the mud, digging for anything that he could be charged with, just because who his dad is. And Hunter didn't even touch politics in the slightest.

The gun charge is the moral equivalent of crucifying someone for having pirated music on their hard drive. It was a nothing crime, never enforced, and the only reason it was in this case was because they happened to find something they could latch onto.

I don't know anything about the tax evasion conviction. If it was serious, then sure, fuck him. But I'd want them going after every politician AND their family with equal vigor. But guess what? They aren't.

That's why most of us don't really care. The man is not important. He holds no position of power, nor has he expressed any intent to. He is not important, except as a whipping boy for their propaganda. And a pardon for such preposterous prosecution is fine with me.

Because latency and removing the personal accountability of not wanting to die in a car crash are a feature!

Very well said. I hated Harris' "economic plan." It wasn't going to make a dent. It might get some people in rural passover states afford a home, which is great for them, but would do nothing but maybe raise costs of entry level tiny condos in any city.

But I do think they accomplished a lot in Biden's term. If you compare the US' inflation to other 1st world countries, we recovered far better. We were moving in the right direction. It would have been far worse with Republicans.

And they accomplished all that with a festering rot of DINO obstructionists in the senate, and a republican controlled House. They did an amazing job with the limitations they had.

But they didn't adequately lay the blame in the right hands. They didn't address greedy corporate Housing speculation. They tried and failed to reign in "shrinkflation". And they failed to bring some sanity to the immigrant blaming, and instead somewhat joined in on it.
