Is it misogynistic of me to think that the only reason Willis Johnson gave South Dakota money is because he thinks Kristi Noem is hot?

He's a 74 year old boomer with a collection of muscle cars, I think it's probably the deciding factor between giving money to SD and not any of the other states sending people to Texas.

Yes, that's misogynist as all hell.

IDK, he's not giving Kim Reynolds any money.

Anyway, does anyone have a good article or video summarizing the current state of the US-Mexico border situation?

It's a hullabaloo created by the GOP to have something to yell about.

did this person even read the story because, from what I can tell, the article and actual report very clearly use the actual federal and state minimums, and $18 is the current median wage.

maybe it's because I'm mad and depressed about a lot of stuff right now but loving christ I hate it when idiots on social media trip over themselves to post hot takes and get half the loving details wrong in the process, when the actual story is bad enough as it is

e: like here's the actual fact that should be quoted from the article:

I think they're basing their tweet on this quote

quote:

The average hourly worker currently earns $18.78 per hour, the report finds, more than $6 short of the wage needed to afford a two-bedroom rental.

Which comes from the graf just before your quote.

Oh yeah, if it's an area without clear sight lines, or an area where you can't just destroy everything, you want crunchies to watch your back.

With a modern tank though if it's open terrain no one is sneaking up on you. Potentially you can have all 4 sets of eyes looking in different directions, with some having massive zoom, thermal, and 360 view. And only the loader has to poke out the top if they've got remote weapons systems.

Wait I thought he went to Germany at the end or was that an alternate ending

wut

eta: reading the alternate ending on Wikipedia, poo poo is wild


quote:

An alternative ending to the one shown in the final movie was filmed with Jeremy Irons and Bruce Willis, set some time after the events in New York. It can be found on the Special Edition DVD. In this version it is presumed that the robbery succeeds, and that McClane was used as the scapegoat for everything that went wrong. He is fired from the NYPD after more than 20 years on the force and the FBI has even taken away his pension. Nevertheless, he still manages to track Simon using the batch number on the bottle of aspirins and they meet in a bar in Hungary. In this version, Simon has double-crossed most of his accomplices, gotten the loot to a safe hiding place somewhere in Hungary, and has the gold turned into statuettes of the Empire State Building in order to smuggle it out of the country; but he is still tracked down to his foreign hideaway. McClane is keen to take his problems out on Simon, who he invites to play a game called "McClane Says". This involves a form of Russian roulette with a small Chinese rocket launcher that has had the sights removed, meaning it is impossible to determine which end is which. McClane then asks Simon some riddles similar to the ones he played in New York. When Simon gets a riddle wrong, McClane forces him at gunpoint to fire the launcher, which fires the rocket through Simon, killing him.[16][17]

In the DVD audio commentary, screenwriter Jonathan Hensleigh claims that this version was dropped because the studio thought it showed a more cruel and menacing side to McClane, a man who killed for revenge rather than in self-defense. The studio was also displeased with the lack of action in the scene, feeling that it did not fit as a "climax" and therefore chose to reshoot the finale as an action sequence at a significant monetary cost. Hensleigh's intention was to show that the events in New York and the subsequent repercussions had tilted McClane psychologically. This alternative ending, set some time after the film's main events, would have marked a serious break from the Die Hard formula, in which the plot unfolds over a period of roughly 12 hours.[17]

According to the DVD audio commentary, a second alternative ending had McClane and Carver floating back to shore on a makeshift raft after the explosion at sea. Carver says it is a shame the bad guys are going to get away; McClane tells him not to be so sure. The scene then shifts to the plane where the terrorists find the briefcase bomb they left in the park and which Carver gave back to them (in this version it was not used to blow up the dam). The film would end on a darkly comic note as Simon asks if anyone has a four-gallon jug. This draft of the script was rejected early on - possibly due to the similarity of the ending to Die Hard 2, where all the villains board a plane that later explodes - so it was never actually filmed. The rocket-launcher sequence was the only alternative ending to be filmed.[17]
