Not sure the phrasing of "undocumented immigrants have had their lives ruined" is the angle you want. The angle should be that CBP is causing a lot of unjustified problems for legal residents and citizens. People having to spend 2

Gary, Indiana does not have a border with a foreign country so why do CBP need to monitor drivers there?

IIUC, the only issue with the jones act requiring US-built vessels is that previous the US Navy used to buy US-built vessels and lease them out below-cost and don't do that anymore. It was never economically to use US-built vessels but

Does Credit Karma's app from last month work too? This is a reason I also like the web is that after the page loads I can just do stuff instead of getting kicked out to have to update the app ... Or even having to re-log in ...

It still depends on the marginal contribution. A janitor at the CIA in the 1960s is certainly working at an organization that is disrupting the peaceful Iranian society and turning it into a "death to America" one. But I would not

I disagree, it's woeful ignorance (and sometimes even willful). When Amazon and all first came out they didn't charge sales taxes and states were pretty unhappy because largely nobody was paying the sales taxes they were supposed

This is western-centric no? It's not like every single Chinese consumer decided they didn't want American soybeans. More authoritarian countries have strong import controls; helps with both having high (inefficient) employment but

Yeah, there's an economist comment on "We can afford everything that we produced". Like when the Apple is produced it's not because a dollar bill was sowen into the ground. The actual inputs of production are not money b

Typically it does require bipartisan consent as the house and the senate are often not controlled by the same party. The thing to note with the filibuster is that it's only in the senate because the house got rid of theirs a long time

Speeding in a rental car doesn't absolve you of the ticket. But I mean yeah, you could theoretically rent a car in the UK and kill somebody then flee to the US and hide. But don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

The problem is cost efficiency. It's not cost effective to have a bus line that stops at everybody's house. However, when you start to have 3 lanes of traffic then a lot of that traffic can be handled by a bus at a cheaper cost to

Naw, the most economic solution is to make bigger bumpers and let cars push each other forward. Think about a hose. If you have it at a certain flow and then increase the flow the water doesn't go out faster because it wants it. It flo

Eh, society gave women a pretty shitty end of the stick and they took away everybody's alcohol for a bit in the US. Any segment can be a free radical if given the motivation but right now the motivation is very heavily male dominated.
