It's not that there isn't an element of politics to oil prices, the US has always leaned on and/or used weapons deals and defense partnerships as bribes with countries like Saudi Arabia and other "friendly" exporters to keep the taps open because low prices undermine countries like Iran and Russia. But it doesn't seem likely Trump even has an understanding of this, let alone has improved our position in that regard.

MA-Horus posted:Wait, what? How does this work? Even though you have insurance through whatever stupid loving system you guys have, they won't accept it at all? Each provider negotiates with each insurer, if they don't come to an agreement the provider can choose not to accept that insurer or the insurer can choose not to cover that provider. Yes, the process is as inefficient and complex as it sounds

Am I misreading it, or is the "defense" of the Catholic school kids being assholes that there were also other people being assholes in the area?

Relentlessboredomm posted:Lesser of two evils isn't a good enough reason to vote for many people. The people who didn't vote or voted third party or voted for Trump because "ugh, Hillary again" in competitive states are loving morons. There was a clearly superior choice in that first past the post election. That Trump was even remotely competitive is far more an indictment of the electorate than Clinton.

orange juche posted:Cohen is claiming that the Trump admin is making unspecified "threats" against him and his family, which is delaying his testimony. He has lied to the FBI before so who knows, but it would be icing on the cake if someone told him they were going to fit him for cement shoes if he testified.

orange juche posted:There are good companies out there but there's plenty that will gently caress their employees over while laughing to the bank as well. They probably employ people who have options. Building services, food service, security, etc aren't going to see a dime. Terrifying Effigies posted:It's probably because we're at full employment and companies realize they can't (fully) gently caress over (some) employees when they can walk to another job without (too much) trouble. I sure didn't see any offers to carry over folks during the 2013 shutdown, it was all use your PTO or go in the hole because they knew they could screw folks without consequence. It was similar in 2013. Contractors dealing with technical or senior people who could find other work sent folks to "training" or just kept paying them. More replaceable employees of contractors were basically told to gently caress off. The employment situation today could mean more contractors fell into the getting paid category, but unskilled staff is still definitely getting nothing.

45 ACP CURES NAZIS posted:prosecuters are one of the positions that can unironically change the system from within, such as choosing to prosecute non violent marijuana cases. Which makes it all the more telling when they lean into broken windows nonsense instead of pursuing large-scale white collar crime.

FAUXTON posted:Warren is making a serious go at it and wants to implement a tax on assets over 50 million If that happens it may without exaggeration be the most serious policy change in the last half a century of American politics. So far the only complaints I've heard about Warren are on personality, her policy positions seem solid. Going to keep on it because it really is a huge deal, the wealth tax Warren proposed is a serious percentage and immediately plants her far to the left of any other "serious" candidates.

colachute posted:They are non-voters until they come here ILLEGALLY and vote for Democrats!!! Polls actually show native born Texans voted for Beto. And of course he won recent transplants. Cruz only won migrants to Texas from more than 10 years ago, those are most of the boomers who, how do you put it, identify as Texan.

pantslesswithwolves posted:I trolled a little too earnestly here. I get how taxes work and my only critique of AOC’s plan is that I’d prefer to see billionaires paying at least 80%, but I appreciate that you took the time to write out an explanation. Warren's wealth tax proposal should get more attention too, it's even more significant in a lot of ways for a class of people who can basically define their own taxable income. Or, as AOC puts it https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1089604364065533952
