Most of us don't understand it either. The majority of citizens support some degree of gun control reform and yet congress refuses to act. And even if they did, it seems like the supreme court has decided to interpret the 2nd amendment

Just disable it. It seems like they've made is as simple as possible to do so while also being realistic about what it takes to make a successful (read: profitable) IDE the year 2025.

For what it's worth, their pricing has decreased substantially over the last year. Their most recent quote to us was about 25% of the one we received a year or so ago.

Having met several of them, the people who use terms like latinx, toxic masculinity, and defund the police aren't even democrats and hold almost as much antipathy towards them as they do towards republicans. The polls speak for themsel

By definition of what? You're just saying words and claiming them to be true and undebatable. Regardless, these people are claiming to act upon the word of the Bible while ignoring the parts of taking care of the hungry and the poor.

Most people didn't actually care about the culture war and wanted to focus on the economy. Unfortunately those people also failed to absorb the fact that the fast-talking grifter was in fact grifting them into supporting him by lying t

I wouldn't group those together at all for the sake the argument. Take antidepressants for example. We're at the point of reexamining if we actually understand the consequences of long term usage of them. My personal experience wa

Cheat code was probably not the best term for it, I'll admit. I don't fault anyone for chosing to try GLP-1s and the cause of obeseity isn't particularly on the individual given the prevailance of ultra processed foods and ca

Using that money to retain staff during a downturn instead of doing layoffs sounds great and would make sense as something to incentivize through the tax code. There's definitely a point where a company can have an unreasonable amount

I think this can make sense theoretically and what about cases where companies just horde wealth like Apple or spend it on stock buybacks (like Apple)? I'd want to see some sort of impetus for them to either reinvest or pass it along t

The ROI isn't 5 years, it's more that it won't generate any returns for 5 years and those returns might not pan out depending on policy change. If you build an American factory and right as it's getting up and running, t

The crime was defamation and there was an entire court case about it which was upheld on appeal. Alex got his day(s) in court and he lost and now is in the finding out phase of fucking around. The people who harassed these families did so o

How about having people threatening to rape and murder your family because they're convinced your lying and know where you live so you constantly have to move and try to hide your whereabouts. https://apnews.com/article

It would probably depend on constitutional interpretation as to what a state legislature could do nowadays. South Carolina's legislature picked their electors until 1860 and if they wanted to revert to that an orignialist interpretatio

It is certainly an open question as to whether or not it would need the approval of Congress. Does the compact clause have more weight or does the plenary powers doctrine have more weight? Realistically, it depends who the nine justices of

Depends on how many ballots you sample, but the number you could change would only matter in an extremely close election and in my state, if a vote is within 0.5%, it triggers an automatic recount. These systems have layers of auditing and
