I've been thinking about it recently, and I don't think in this case places pulling money from Georgia will matter. It will certainly work on culture war bullshit that local Republicans use to get elected, but the recent election probably scared the party that they'll lose their rear end on the next go around of state elections, and they'd rather maintain their position no matter what the cost to Georgia is.

In "Georgia GOP will burn this state to the ground" news.Forbes posted:A group of Georgia lawmakers are demanding that Coca-Cola products be removed from their office suite after the company’s CEO panned Georgia’s new voting law, the latest boycott called by Republicans to retaliate against companies they claim are contributing to an “out of control cancel culture.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlie...sh=7f519e2d31b3 and in what the gently caress news relating to that Forbes posted:Voting rights activist Stacey Abrams last week asked businesses not to boycott Georgia over the new law, writing in an op-ed for USA Today that boycotts could hurt the same working-class people who will be most disenfranchised by the new voting restrictions. “[Leaving] us behind won’t save us,” Abrams wrote. “So I ask you to bring your business to Georgia and, if you’re already here, stay and fight. Stay and vote.” I don't get this thought pattern. You could make the case that boycotting, I dunno, amazon for screwing with unions already hurts the people amazon are already hurting by getting people laid off? Why would the GOP flip sides on the issue if "They gently caress around" and "don't find out" because voting them out isn't going to work if they keep messing with voting.

BIG HEADLINE posted:That won't stop criminals and mass shooters from breaking the law and using guns anyway Regardless of how you feel about guns or what ever, basing a law or policy on "people will just break the laws anyway" in my mind leads to the interesting conclusion that laws and policies as a whole are useless because people will just break the laws anyway.

I have the feeling, that if the community is pissed off enough that you've erected a four foot cement barrier and some chain link around your private residence. Your house is doomed and no amount of barriers are going to prevent someone hucking a few fire bombs on to your roof.

Milo and POTUS posted:I mean I've been saying this for months now and even telling it to people in real life and they look at me like I'm a loon I don't get what was so controversial. Well off people can stay locked in their homes if they want to and wait for poo poo to pass, and even if they do get it they can afford a higher standard of care for poo poo, then look at the graph of who makes up the upper percentile of wages/wealth in America.

CommieGIR posted:Yeah, I'm kinda confused, us being there hasn't done jack against the Taliban and ISIS rebuilding, because they mostly train and build up elsewhere, and they've been pretty successful at attacking Afghan troops even with us being present. Even then, what is the alternative? Build Afghanistan into a robust economic and politically stable country so the locals don't have a reason to turn to the Taliban for protection or economic advancement? Pssh, we can barely do that for ourselves.

ZombieApostate posted:I still think that packing the courts is a pandora's box that we won't be able to close if the republicans ever get control of government again. You're saying this as if the republicans haven't already been doing it for some time. Apparently something like 100 something federal judges ended up being handed to Trump due to the senate not bothering with a lot of obama's nominees. The Republicans also showed that if a Supreme Court seat becomes vacant under a Democrat president, with Republicans in the senate, they'll hold it vacant until the next R president.

ZombieApostate posted:It feels like adding seats reduces the legitimacy of the courts, whereas impeachment should, in theory, increase it when removing judges that should never have been appointed I mean, you could also make the claim that impeaching judges who've done nothing more than interpret the law in a lovely regressive manner and where appointed in a legal, albeit lovely, fashion is just as "political" as increasing the amount of seats on the bench. At a certain point something will give, and I'd rather the democrats bang the door shut on the republicans ability to write lovely laws than the reverse.

Grip it and rip it posted:Yeah let's suspend habeas corpus too! A reminder that the constitution didn't set anything about supreme court membership, beyond that it should be more than one. It literally could have been two dudes or 200000000 dudes. The Judiciary Act under Washington established Six Justices. Jefferson in 1807 bumped that number up to seven, Nine in 1837, 1863 bumped to 10. 1866 dropped to seven, 1869 bumped to nine. So acting as if "Nine is the sacred number and thus it shall ever be and anything else is political that can only lead to bad outcomes" is kind of weird IMO and I don't understand why people get bent out of shape when expansion of the courts is brought up.

Nick Soapdish posted:I'm just so tired, so very tired I don't see how this matters? It's supremely stupid, but the cards shouldn't be used by any organization or event as a means of verifying vaccine status in the first place. Even if the cards where somehow strictly controlled and forgery proof, you'd still have shitheads borrowing other peoples cards or outright stealing them.

Why are stenography machines still in use when we could video and mic up everyone involved and the court room in general? I mean, maybe keep the stenographers around so if there's something garbled for the recording you could compare it against what the stenographer has?

I'd just like to say not having watched the video, between the ages of 14 and 16 I managed to successfully disarm my mentally ill younger brother of various sharp implements at various different times he had intent to stab me with and only was stabbed once in the arm while doing so. A cop wearing a stab vest, shouldn't really have anything to worry about a sixteen year old girl with a knife.

facialimpediment posted:I say it could be slanted because there's a lot of information being barfed back and forth. Half of twitter is like BREAK THE DRUG PATENTS THIS IS IMMORAL CAPITALISM (when moderna said in October they're not enforcing their patent and the bigger problem is materials and production methods). I don't know a lot about this, but there's a difference between "we're not going to enforce the patent ever" and "we're not enforcing the patent...yet and also you have to agree to these terms and conditions", which has Moderna gone with? Because, I could see drug makers being real hesitant to go all in on spinning up production of a generic if it's the second.

facialimpediment posted:The general non-evil position is that if Moderna just willy-nilly says "here's how you make our vaccine", you get a lot of poo poo-quality vaccines made in locations like Emergent that make everything worse. On the other hand, Emergent was licensed to produce the vaccine and still hosed up. So I'm not so sure QA of product is a benefit of licensing. A better "non-evil" position is something something without patents something stifling innovation something investing in vaccines

the yellow dart posted:After all that, he still thinks Covid-19 is overblown because its his political belief, not because there isn't evidence to show its a horrifying disease to basically everyone in virtually all age groups. Well if you look at it from his point of view, if covid wasn't overblown, he'd have basically run a bunch of fight events and personally be responsible for the debilitation and or death of various people, all so he could have more money and see men punch each other in the face. That would make him a bad person, and that really couldn't be right?
