While the police and politicians were afraid, it's not because there was a real terrorist threat from the Black Panthers or other militant black movements of the time. While the Panthers had some issues with violence, almost all of tha

There is a big difference. Hundreds of Iranian police and military have been killed. Peaceful protest is a very different thing than armed riots. Even if you support the overthrow of the theocratic dictatorship in Iran, it's hard to sa

That's demonstrably false. Politicians like Strom Thurmond and Joe Biden enjoyed long careers in the Senate after opposing the Civil Rights movement. Lindsey Graham opposes gay marriage today.

They never change their minds, that's because the police are willing to beat the protesters for them. The Civil Rights movement is an example of (mostly, but not always peaceful) protest that changed things within living memory. Gay ri

Yeah, liberate those Iranians from under the heel of an authoritarian theocracy by returning them to monarchy! Sounds great and totally logical!

You can get pre-packaged sandwiches in the US (and a bunch of other stuff too, including hot food). I don't buy them and don't know the exact price, but they aren't expensive, definitely under $5. Eating from corner stores an

Probably never, except maybe during the period when only white male landowners could vote and so the "we" was a much smaller and wealthier group. Voter turnout is pretty high these days though. https://www.electproject.

I used to be able to get $3 breakfast and $5 lunch (ok, tipping rounds those up, but the base price is there) at nearly any Coney Island in the Detroit metro. It's not about richness or zoning, it's all about population density an

Uber isn't exactly cheap, just cheaper than taxis, which are super-expensive. Kitchen work generally requires some kind of training, often some kind of licensing or certification, and is rarely the cheapest type of labor. Anyway, the m

Most (30) states have their own minimum wage, higher than the federal. 20 have no minimum wage or a minimum lower than or equal to the federal.

Zoning performs some important functions, but is often used to set up barriers-to-entry. I somewhat doubt that zoning is the problem here because there were plenty of cheap restaurants before the recessions, covid, and trade-war inflation.

Police don't deserve "respect" for being police. They don't get to shoot or brutalize people for "disrespecting" them. They are servants of the people and should humble themselves appropriately and act with tha

Plenty of Minnesotans have come out to protest, just like in other cities where ICE is active. Many people outside the cities, even just in the suburbs, haven't seen any of it at all and it's just something that's happening

Just don't break it and let it fall in the water naturally when the bottom softens up. It doesn't take long enough for there to be any issues like noodles cooked well on one side and not the other.

You can sue for anything, whether or not you win is another matter. Civil and criminal court also don't have the same rules or standards for evidence and culpability. Whether or not actions were legal is not really what is being adjudi

Scales are fine, but you're going to need scoops anyway. However, once you've made a recipe before, you probably won't need the scale to make it a second time. Volume measuring equipment is useful for more than measurement, c

And? Recipes might end up needing 1/3 more total flour just depending on the season, why should I care about how accurate it is to some kitchen separated by geography, time, and ingredients? If it doesn't taste right/feel rig

You'll know if you need to add more flour when it comes time to knead. There's no such thing as accuracy in cooking, and especially not baking.

In the case of drugs, they probably wouldn't have any reason to raid you unless you were suspected of stashing drugs or money or some other evidence. The journalist is reasonably likely to be in contact with the leaker and so the cops

You can attempt to sue for damages, but the suit is likely to be dismissed because law enforcement and legal adjudication are tightly coupled and very friendly in ways that subvert the proper functioning of justice. More likely you'd j

It doesn't make a lot of sense to measure the cost of entertainment in terms of monetary inflation though. Hugely price-tiered status-signaling goods like kids toys just don't respond to market forces in the same way commodities d

This is about the yield of a few hundred acres of potato. It's inconsequential in terms of the "market".

Or ~1600k small sacks of potatoes. About one sack per two people in Berlin, which is probably around roughly one per household.

It's not sudden. The suffering of the proletariat crushed under the heel of the capitalist oppressor has always been a main theme of communist propaganda. It's not really any different from the capitalist propaganda of the victims
