Romney's a Senator, and didn't get kicked out of the Republican party because the GOP is afraid of losing votes in Utah or something? No actual idea who he is, other than someone who will gently caress up the election for a Democratic candidate because he's unlikely to peel off votes from the GOP. orange juche fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Apr 29, 2020 |

Keep in mind, third parties run candidates in just about every presidential election. It's just more often than not, no one pays any attention to them. Jill Stein and Ralph Nader get a lot of attention because you could logically make the connection that Dem leaning independents would break for them (and did in states that were very close)...Libertarian/Freedom party candidates, not so much. Special mention to Ross Perot as well.

I still made fun of my friend at the time for voting for Gary Johnson. But mostly for voting for a Libertarian Party presidential candidate past the age of 20.

Stultus Maximus posted:Lol no. If we shut down meat processing everyone's daily calorie and protein needs wouldn't be instantly met with silage. It's taking weeks to months to shift toilet paper and flour production just from commercial to consumer use. No one in the US is going to go hungry even in the imaginary worst case scenario of all meat production shutting down overnight. There's more than enough excess capacity of calories without any changes, and in the long run there's a huge amount of US farmland dedicated just to feeding animals that can be repurposed. Declaring meat processing plants critical even as everyone inside is getting sick is being done because the meat processing industry asked for it.

People go hungry right now in the US, many of them children. Don't make sweeping generalizations. feedingamerica.org posted:In 2019, most families living in poverty earn less than $25,750 per year. More than 37 million people struggle with hunger in the United States, including more than 11 million children. A household that is food insecure has limited or uncertain access to enough food to support a healthy life. Deleting meat from the food supply would make that number go up in the short and medium term significantly. orange juche fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Apr 29, 2020 |

orange juche posted:She did that all on her own I'm not really up for re-litigating 2016 for the umpteenth time but Clinton lost for a variety of reasons and not any one reason in particular. It's fair to say she lost both due to reasons well beyond her control as well as her own campaigns failures. Had her campaign not made some missteps it's quite possible she'd be in the White House right now and Trump would have hosed off back to NYC, buttery emails and Comey be damned.

orange juche posted:That's not what you said though. It is though. "People will go hungry" is not a good reason to force meatpacking workers to risk what is, by all accounts, a wildy increased risk of coronavirus infction. People are going hungry in the US due to a lack of money, not because the food isn't there to buy. Industry has the capacity to provide the calories required with or without meat if the government is willing to make people not going hungry a priority. The only reason the administration is declaring meat processing facilities essential is because their owners make political contributions and don't want to lose money by shutting down production just because their labor force is dropping like flies.

When there is less food available, prices will go up. People on the ragged edge of being able to afford food prices now will go hungry. Edit: Not making the case that meat is critical infrastructure.

UP THE BUM NO BABY posted:Welp, prisoners serving time for nonviolent offenses are starting to die. Cool country we're in. Most prisons are at the top of their respective states' outbreak locations. There's a lot of good work going in the legal philanthropy sector with getting people the gently caress out and sent home on house arrest, but again, it's another department where we're about two months behind where we need to be. Jails/prisons are indoors, tightly-packed, with already-poo poo healthcare, so it was basically a matter of time before each of them got seeded by a guard, a visitor, or a lawyer carrying COVID. Big events like these expose your society's preexisting conditions - skyrocketing prison populations and excessively vertically integrated / monopolistic food producers come to mind!

Well then, in that case there's no alternative to forcing people to die in meat processing plants for minimum wage. Even as someone who eats meat, it's amazing the extent that people would prefer that (other, poorer) people die for their dietary preferences instead of eating some lentils.

Just my experience with Federal sentencing guidelines. 24 months means she's in zone 4, the heavy hitter group of at least 8 points. https://www.ussc.gov/guidelines/2018-guidelines-manual/annotated-2018-chapter-5 Again, not saying she deserves death at all. But 2+ years Federally means there's a bit more going on. Not a hill I'm willing to die on. I have a PACER account, but "proving goons wrong" probably won't fly on an account audit.
