Codifying Roe is double sided sword. If Congress has the power to legalize abortion (under some commerce clause interpretation), it likely has the power to ban abortion nationwide.

I think it is you who fundamentally misunderstand their viewpoint. You are mistaking not agreeing with your proposed solutions with not caring about the problem. They largely believe that government welfare programs of the 1960s and 70s des

You must know that you aren't really addressing the fundamental disagreement, which is whether a fetus is a human life. The prolifers would respond sarcastically and say: "If you don't want to murder your 8 month old, don&#x2

They would say to two of three that didn't rape them. Is the government really doing all that much for those victims? Our justice and foster care systems are pretty badly run. Democrats want to throw more money at the broken systems.

The trouble makers amongst Gen-Z are mostly the privileged college educated ones. The working poor aren't too tired from being exploited to engage in this stuff.

Gen-X when they were young were sort of anti-conformist and anti-corporate. "Selling out" was the biggest insult. You see it reflected in the popular media of the time--like Office Space and Matrix. But in order to have financial

I think its more of a later millennial and Gen-Z thing. Gen-X was more--call out "the man" and then taking being fired as a badge of pride Gen-Z wants to call people out without repercussions.

I'm not sure I totally believe that. But loud, public, insubordination is a fire-able offense in most companies. Create bad PR for your company = ticket to firing. Even in the companies that pretend that isn't true, they would st

Americans have both kinds of dating. The more formalized date progression is usually for older people and for people who don't know each other organically from social circles. But I'd guess most couples meet in social circles and

That's not what the progressive complain about. But if that is true, the obvious solution is to create more spots. If the same people wouldn't complain about disparate failure rates, I'd even support making them open enrollm

They are talking about individuals because that is what they value. That's not wrong, you just don't see the value in it. They don't see the value in hyping up ethnic/racial identifies. It's a difference of values &

I'm surprised it is even elected. I was an election judge when I was 18 in Illinois as part of high school project. You just sign up and attend a 2 hour class. It was fun. The other judge at my poll location was a guy who served in the

If the cops aren't enforcing any law at all, then I'd agree they aren't doing their jobs. But if they are doing the rest of their job, but not arresting people for crimes the DA won't charge, that is doing their full job

The bailouts weren't really socialism unless you define socialism the same way online right wingers do (i.e., any government policy you couldn't find in 1776 rural Virginia). There is no rational reason to assume universal healthc

I don't want to defend the cops, but when the DA expressly states they aren't going to enforce certain laws, then its really not their job to arrest people for that anymore. At that point the DA has made is clear that its not a le

The issue is the actions don't achieve the intended results. It's really hard to convince people the policies they believe in just don't work.

I don't have that stats in front of me, but I'd be surprised if they have more wealth inequity than blue state urban areas. Those are still the places in the country where the middle class can afford a house. But they certainly ha

Lincoln Park High doesn't get more funding than those south side schools.

Well funded schools in bad areas just churn out bad students. There is no easy solution to crime.

Quick phone calls are often more efficient than emails. For status updates, downloads of information, sure email works. But if you want a back and forth exchange of ideas, talking is often much faster.

Apply a rule of thumb to outliers generally isn't appropriate. While it might be true that generally success rises 2% for every 10 SAT points, that doesn't necessarily mean it applies to Harvard and U Maryland. Especially due to

Even if it were beneficial, nobody will pay to up keep them. And even if they did, without incentive to make sure they actually work, I suspect they'd fall into disrepair anyway since it wouldn't be a priority.

It's definitely not overtly encouraged in the legal field. You'd get disbarred if anyone found out about it. That said, there isn't much proactive looking for fraud.

For Netflix it is worse than selling at cost. They were sourcing most of their content from the companies they were putting out of business. It was unsustainable at any cost. Until Netflix, TV production was funded by Networks paying for f

You can only blame IP laws so much. Someone has to fund the production of content. If Netflix could just take what they wanted, nobody would make anything but disposable reality TV.
