There's no real incentive to pass a gas tax holiday through to the consumer, this would just increase profits.

Are there any rumors why he is leaving the G7 meeting early? Big disagreements?

Ah, seems plans have changed a second time and he didn't leave early.

Youth Decay posted:Pete Buttigieg of all people gave a very good answer when pressed on late-term abortion that went semi-viral during the general election. Being a supporter of abortion rights, that's neither a convincing argument nor a good video, with all the annoying clapping. Seems more like a rhetorical parlor trick.

I assume some staffers actually write these opinions, not the judges themselves.

Herstory Begins Now posted:If you think US regulatory structures are weak I have bad news for you about, like, almost the entire rest of the world. The US has very weak regulatory structures compared to many other developed countries. Seems like most of the rest of the world has much stricter regulations.

haveblue posted:Gerrymandering only applies to state elections, the presidential election has a permanent and immutable gerrymander stemming from state borders. Voter suppression and the ISL bullshit is the real problem, especially if Congress changes hands The candidates gerrymandering favors also shape electoral law in the individual states, it very obviously has an effect. But also, when the Supreme Court abolishes democracy next year, who knows what the next presidential elections will look like.

The Senate could pass the same amount of legislation in about 1/5th the time if the voting procedure were less archaic.

Blind Pineapple posted:Also, they only work like half the year for 3x the median salary in the US (not that they even need it because most of them because most of them were millionaires before they were elected). That's pretty disingenuous. They spend most of their time outside the Senate Chamber calling people for bribes, it's certainly a very demanding job because they have to suck up to the money constantly.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:A large part of it is (like most things in America) about inequality. In the mid 2010's (I have no idea if this has changed or if it is even possible to reasonably calculate at this moment in time given everything that happened to education worldwide during Covid), if you removed the bottom 10% of worst performing schools from the U.S. average on standardized test scores, then the U.S. jumps from the mid-teens globally to #1 globally. I remember the talking point being "if you just look at the top 10% of schools in the US compared to the general population everywhere else, we're competitive". Sure you don't you have it the wrong way around? Criss-cross fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Sep 4, 2022 |

silence_kit posted:I think that there is no right to free speech when using a social media website, but I also think that you all have lost the plot if you think that the idea of free speech is a hateful right-wing concept. SA, with its abritraty moderation, doesn't exactly seem like a bastion of free speech, though. Do you think there should be no moderation of SA beyond legal requirements?

You might be surprised to learn that the rest of the world doesn't automatically understand weird C-SPAM shibboleths. You might want to actually elucidate what you're talking about. And by "Ukraine situation", do you mean the war of aggression Russia, a fascist nation with an imperial drive, is waging against Ukraine?

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:yeah, I'd rather not have the government poking around in my medicine cabinet. The supplement industry isn't perfect but it's better than the alternative as you've proposed it. I don't really wanna have to apply for a license to buy and store whey protein. Regulating the selling of dietary supplements doesn't mean you would need to "apply for a license to buy and store whey protein" at all, what a weird strawman. Supplements are regulated in the EU in what health claims they can make (they require a scientific basis), there's more than enough international precedence for useful regulation.
