Also this. Following that same logic but in reverse, is there such thing as a ethical guillotine?

Depending on what ethical code you're following, sometimes chopping off someone's head is the most ethical thing you can do in a given circumstance.

My Gold Star survivors Facebook group is kicking up into high gear. Apparently the Senate Armed Services Committee's markup for the 2020 NDAA did not include repealing the SBP-DIC offset. They're considering this a bad omen and they're hoping the House does include it in theirs. The general feeling is that passing a repeal of the offset would be easier if it's part of the NDAA as opposed to a stand-alone bill, and I see their point. On the other hand, I'm wondering if maybe the word on the grapevine within Congress is that the standalone bill will actually make it through and so including it in the NDAA is unnecessary? The Senate bill has 72 cosponsors and the House bill is trudging its way to a floor vote sometime in mid-July. Given both bills are identically worded, barring any Congressional fuckery (and I expect there to be Congressional fuckery) it should clear the Senate after passing the House. Graaaaahhhhh, loving Congress.

 Here's Sisolak signing the latest laws. My friend is one of the people in the back. Senate Bill 179, the Trust Nevada Women Act, repeals what the Governor calls outdated criminal penalties for abortion, and aligns "antiquated informed consent laws with today’s medical standards." Senate Bill 94 allocates $6 million for statewide family planning grants, funding a recommendation he made in his budget.

Vasudus posted:I have a draft copy of the house NDAA. Someone with more knowledge about the process reports that if it's in the mark-ups then funding for it would have to come from retired pay or Tricare. Adding it as an amendment later allows them to identify a separate funding source. Goddamn Congress and its insane loving rules.

Is anyone actually opposed to the legislation or is it just a "don't know don't care" situation where a small amount of people are affected and it’s hard to get the wheels of bureaucracy turning?

I missed the last two weeks of so of posts so I'm sorry if this was discussed recently. I assume it's just a low priority thing because if it wasn't that's an easily veto/filibuster proof majority.

BUT WHO IS GOING TO PAAAAAAAY FOR THIS FREE  HANDOUT Politicians don't like paying for the results of wars. There's a bottomless pit of deficit spending available for military equipment, soldiers, and contractors. But once the person leaves military service, Congress no longer sees it as their problem, no matter how the person leaves their service. Same reason why the Zadroga 9/11 bill took loving forever. It's easier to just bleat about supporting our troops versus actually supporting our troops.

There's a ton of stuff you might not know are made by Nestle. https://www.nestle.com/aboutus/overview/ourbrands I did know that and I do avoid all of those brands. The easy thing about this is that there is literally nothing sold by Nestlé that is a necessity and nothing that isn't easily available from company that didn't murder African infants for profit. It's not like, say, phones. Phones are a necessity in modern first world life and they're all made at the same level of unethical manufacturing practice. You can't avoid it, all you can do is keep yours until it stops working instead of upgrading every year. This is such lazy bullshit and I don't know why it's such a popular meme. The implication seems to be that everything is bad so there's no point in trying to be good. Why bother going through the effort and paying a premium for fair trade chocolate when that Crunch bar? No such thing as ethical consumption! The fair trade chocolate still used fossil fuels and some money is going to corporations! Just as bad as a candy bar that was literally made by child slaves! No such thing as ethical consumption! I don't have to research or make hard decisions, it's all equally bad!

It's a vast expansion of the Trump administration's enhanced screening of potential immigrants and visitors. Who’s willing to bet that tweeting “lol Trump is a demented piss baby with tiny hands” would be cause to deny a tourist visa? Edit: of course, State would probably see it as equally suspicious if someone never had social media to begin with.
