The more targeted the checks are, the greater number of people who need them fall through the cracks, and the longer it takes to deliver them.

Politically, it also increases the number of people who you are helping less than Trump and the R Senate did.

Naturally, it's a priority to do as much targeting as possible.

I also enjoy making GBS threads on politicians for twitter suggestions when the result of everything politicians have done since.. idk 9/11? has been a significant net negative.

Their suggestions don't even buy a soda; they make the soda more expensive while making sure you have less money to buy it with.

I thought they said they were going to like three weeks ago.

His demands are silly, but I think it’s kind of gross for the government to decide “your religious beliefs don’t have enough books written about them so they don’t count”. Furthermore, even if deep down they’re not really religious beliefs, it’s mean to torment the mentally ill.

I also thought they'd announced they were going to comply with his dietary restrictions. I'm in no position to speak on his spiritual views and how sincere they are, but that seems like one of the easier things to accommodate that he might ask for.

Silver is the go-to shiney object to dangle in front of boomer retail investors. It's been their bitcoin ever since money hopped off the gold standard.

They used to have peices of paper that represented silver and they would keep it in their wallet or in a box and lose it long after they forgot they got it.

Truly, the more things change the more things stay the same.

I’m comparing a great man to a pathetic one here, but the justices of the Supreme Court were ready to declare that Mohammed Ali’s draft refusal was not a sincere religious matter before one of the clerks (Tom Krattenmaker ) said “I think this guy’s the real deal and you should take another look”.

I am a lot more inclined to take Ali’s religious views seriously prima facie, but that’s not the point. The point is that courts should err to defer to a person’s professed beliefs unless there is extremely good reason not to, and “this guy’s request is minorly expensive” does not rise to that.

Minorly expensive? This opens the door to more prisoners using the constitution to try and get edible food and then where would we be?

Prisons should be less terrible. The empathetic side of my nature wants wholesale reform of conditions. The violent monkey part of my brain wants the insurrectionists to suffer every cruelty and torment of the system they enthusiastically built and cheered on.

So gently caress it, give him organic food and hopefully use that as precedent to accommodate others (it won't be).

Organic doesn’t mean not processed, it’s just standards for farming. I doubt it’d be any serious change, that nutriloaf garbage could be made organic for example.

Ah yes surely it was the internet users sharing public info and notbthe funds market makers and brokerages that engaged in literal manipulation that caused this. And there definitely weren't hedge funds long GME to help accelerate the run up that took profit last week. Glad the SEC is doing the good work we expect.
