Didn't they and Manchin and Sinema promised to block it?
I guess proving (again) so many pick up truck owners do not really need a pick up, they just need to feel manly for a change
We wish... the good/bad neighbour analogy is very apt here; whatever happens in the USA spills over here all the time.
We are about to enter our own Trump shit show when PP is elected next year.
So what you are saying is:
"Hmmm I get to choose between a turd sandwich and a burger. We tried the turd sandwich before and almost died of food poisoning so we went with the burger and noticeably, everybody avoided the hospital after that meal. The burger seems to be in decline though, they are serving it cold now... but the turd sandwich is just as smeared and stinky as before... I guess we got to try the turd sandwich again?"
Biden’s cognitive problems were laid bare to the whole world to see. imagine a president of the strongest country in the world.
So you didn't hear the diarreah of the mouth that Trump spewed? It seemed to me Trump was not even aware of what they were asking of him in half the questions
who cares about those?, when the Secretaries and all the high level officials running everything can be bought
All Oklahoma schools are required to incorporate the Bible and the Ten Commandments in their curriculums, effective immediately, the state’s chief education officer announced in a memorandum Thursday.
regular federal officials were up for sale way before this... the combined "corporations are people" and "money is free speech" nonsense meant anyone can openly throw money at anyone up for election and that's A-OK because free speech
Precedent? I don't even know why they bother when they can simply legally and openly bribe whomever wins anyway
And with this final blow... the entire government of the USA is up for sale!
PP is short for Pierre Poilievre who is the head of the Conservative Party (our version of USA's Republicans) and likely to win the next election in 2025
The closest we get here is the NDP (New Democratic Party) who are left leaning... but they are in shambles here
I'm going to assume (against common sense, this is an honest question)...
Most recent example
Less money = less staff, less maintenance, less services => more people with no choice but to go to Emerg, hospitals that work putting out fires all the time with less staff to go by... long term, it also causes people NOT too go into health care as a profession
They are literally planning to shrink hospital capacity
well the USA was circling the drain after Trump's first win... they are now at the toilet gargling stage
I don't believe there is a single politician out there who mean more than 2% of what they say.
I definitely lean left in almost any category... the problem is that even if a politician or party directly promise, word for word, exactly what I want. There is zero chance they will even try to implement it when they get to power; worse, there is not even a way to keep them accountable except "not voting for them again".
I live in Canada and I voted for Trudeau in great part for electoral reform which was directly promised and then completely 180d. Trudeau did a couple of OK things but for the most part has been mediocre (not the cause of all our problems as the opposition claims). However, I find myself now in the spot where I either vote for Trudeau again to keep on the mediocrity train, or vote for PP who stands for nothing, has accomplished nothing in over 20 years of being a public employee leech and has all but promised he will run the country off a cliff to own the libs
For me personally, it was all about balance.
15 years ago, Gmail/Inbox was a great email client, the domain was great and popular (so no need to spell it out for people) and I would "pay" by getting ads based on my emails read by a bot.
Now Gmail is a terrible email client, the best updates are ridiculous things like moving buttons around and it takes Google years to roll out. The thing loses emails, mislabels and misclassifies stuff and the rules work for a week then blow up. On top of that, google is now basically a proctologist considering how far up my ass they want to go
The balance is broken... Google now officially sucks (IMO)
Think of it this way...
You take all your money and you have a lawyer form a charity (no tax) that you control. The charity rakes in even more money and all they make (via investment) is tax free (or practically so)
Meanwhile, since you are employed by that charity, it pays for your mansions, trips, fancy foods, vacations, yachts, whatever you want... Basically it is like having a rich daddy that buys everything for you and you never have to worry about money
can we vote for imaginary politicians now?
Exactly right... what should happen is that the Satanic Church, any Islam denomination, the Spaghetti Monster, etc should all start putting up their own billboards everywhere...
While SCOTUS is compromised, there is no point in playing their game
Canada here... yes wait times are a bitch
But it must be clarified this is not a result of socialized medicine... this is mostly a result of Politicians (largely Conservatives) starving the system as hard as they can just to justify Private Medicine as the only solution.
Because it's the only path left they have to attain power. They cannot win on merit, debate, ideas, track record, etc... it's been like that for a while but now they are getting more and more desperate
The FTC uncovered a series of texts between Pioneer Natural Resources CEO Scott Sheffield and OPEC officials agreeing to limit oil production to raise prices.
They raked in huge profits, while their scheme cost consumers $200 billion a year in higher prices.
That’s about $3000 a year per family.
