From the abstract of the article: > We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. I don't understand how to marry the point you're trying to make to this. Cats are

Not too familiar with the law, but Southwest Airlines only operated within Texas, and existed without federal regulation for some time, but eventually the federal government regulated them too.

Texas already did this at the municipal level[0]. Government power continues to be centralized whether it is Republicans or Democrats. Republicans seem to be the only ones marketing themselves as the party of small government though, which

Somehow you have to provide an ID to watch porn in Texas, but a 10 year old kid can go to specs.com and just lie about their age and view imagery of a controlled substance. My wine club just delivers wine without verifying my ID, so a 10 ye

The state government in Texas is a complete disaster. Government overreach in this state is incredible to behold. Corruption goes all the way to the top. Greg Abbott's largest donor is someone in Vermont that owns a private school syst

Government is not a business, nor is it 0-sum. Well-functioning societies with low rates of recidivism invest much more in their prisoners. We should be investing money into prisoners, so that they can re-integrate into society and become s

If we pay people 40 cents an hour just to say they aren't slaves, they they are slaves for all intents and purposes. They are put in poor working conditions working for for-profit companies, making much less than minimum wage. How is i

Crunchy has some really smart people working there. Maybe most notably Tom Lane. I wonder if he'll stay on after the acquisition.

If you cannot vote because you have no way to prove who you are or cannot get to a polling location, that is a de-facto lack of a right to vote, otherwise knows as disenfranchisement. If you can own guns but not buy ammo, you also would not

I'm not sure how you can call disenfranchisement activist wordplay. It makes me not even want to engage with you. Just because someone didn't vote doesn't immediately mean the reason was disenfranchisement. Given you live in

Judges doing bad faith rulings can be removed by Congress. Checks and balances works.

Gerrymandering can have an effect, but I'm not sure how to measure it. Gerrymandering contributes to voter disenfranchisement. If you have been disenfranchised for the 3 years before the presidential election, why would you then choose
