Democrats might not currently have Trump's level of protectionism and tariffs, but I think they're still better for unions. For example, the NLRB gets less effective as republicans put more anti-union folks on the board, let alone

I initially misread this as you proposing using a car battery rather than a 9 volt battery, which sounds like a much less fun party trick.

Yes, there was lots of sharding across hospitals (although it wasn't executed perfectly). Wikipedia has some good info. About 60 people died and almost 900 were injured, over 400 of whom had gunshot or shrapnel wounds. https:/&#x

I get the point you're making, but I can't resist pointing out that if you start with 0 and increase regularly by 20%, you'll still always be at 0.

What's the bar, though? If out of a million people reading a joke, 80% find it funny, 20% find it meh, and one solitary person needs the joke explained to them, I think it's still fair to call it a funny joke. There are multiple c

I don't think that dynamic is the same in construction and in semiconductor manufacturing. Certain parts of the chip-building supply chain just plain don't exist in the USA, and so no one in the USA currently has those skills. It&
