The undiscovered country is the future though, something low tax will never be a part of

quote:

But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?

I'm a big fan of GOP reps calling for a bailout of a badly run bank failing to abide by regulations and common sense, but gently caress those kids and their student loans.

bulletsponge13 posted:

Yeah, saw some GOP reps on Twitter calling for it, because 250k isn't enough.

Well, that's their fault, ain't it? They know what insurance covers- it's posted at every teller, window, and ATM.

This whole thing seems like the Bank was pulling a Nigerian Prince Scam for Sillicon Valley, and those dumb dumb saw dollars signs instead of warning lights.

But I'm dumb and poor, and don't deserve healthcare.

Alrighty, finally some solid numbers with a side of lol

The lol first: hedge funds are offering to buy out companies' accounts at SVB, but only at 60-80 cents on the dollar

Gee, it'd be a shame if they shot down the helicopter after it left Mar-a-Lago with their cult leader aboard.

‘The death penalty is heinously expensive vs. life in prison’ has always the argument I’ve found most effective, especially since most people don’t realize how expensive all those appeals are vs life imprisonment.

bulletsponge13 posted:

I disagree. There are people who are beyond rehabilitation- people who can't be fixed, and will continue to do their heinous actions upon release. I think it's more humane to execute them than it is to keep them locked up for the rest of their lives.

E- I also killed people for money, so there is that.

Does China have more access to TikTok data than the US does to Instagram or Twitter data? Why would anyone assume that a technology company hosted in a particular country doesn't have an open feed to the intelligence services there?

And unlike China, the US uses this data to blow up people all over the world.

Even if I did believe this, once again, what exactly is this hostile foreign government going to do with the data that is any worse than what the private corporations and US government are already doing with the information?

"Missouri Reps Just Voted to Completely Defund the State’s Public Libraries
The new budget sets funds for libraries to $0. Library groups say the move is retaliation for suing the state over its recent book ban law."

quote:

Under Richey’s amendment, the state could not spend any money on “staffing, vendors, consultants, or programs associated with ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’ or ‘Diversity, Equity and Belonging’ or programs that promote “preferential treatment of any individual or group of individuals based upon race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, national origin, or ancestry; 2) the concept that disparities are necessarily tied to oppression; 3) collective guilt ideologies; 4) intersectional or divisive identity activism; or, 5) the limiting of freedom of conscience, thought, or speech.”

quote:

Almost every large company that sells to the state has diversity and inclusion initiatives, including Ameren, the electric supplier to the capitol.

“I wouldn’t know what we wouldn’t be able to have our lights on because Ameren has diversity, equity inclusion in their mission and staff associated with it,” Merideth said. “It’s absolutely bonkers.”
