What a piece of poo poo. God drat.

At least there weren't more deaths. Christ. What a country, when we can say that as a positive when poo poo like this happens.

Maybe I'm naive but it seems wild that "continued ability to deliver the product they exist sell" isn't incentive enough to pay for maintaining their infrastructure. What about levying punitive penalties when systemic lapses in maintenance lead to service outages or town ravaging wildfires?

Concern for me is that the Haley “never Trump” voters just don’t vote instead of voting for Biden and well, are we expecting massive minority and young voter turnout for a guy who should be in a retirement home with a weak economy?

This seems like a weird interpretation of individual polls not matching up to economic indicators. There’s a lot of ways the economy can be strong while leaving people thinking they’ve still got the short end of the stick.

He did this and it was struck down. This is rather telling in how even the good stuff he has tried or even gotten through is largely forgotten, poo poo'd for not going far enough, or just flat out ignored.

Please point to where I said "the economy."

What I actually said was "this cannot be attributed 100% to politics."

This is overly simplistic, but I'm struggling to understand why government built and maintained housing that meets some minimum standard and rents out at some multiple of minimum wage isn't the solution here. Create a minimum affordable standard while still maintaining the private market for everyone else.

Same deal, why isn't there a permanent WPA that provides a decent wage and benefits for anyone who wants to sign up? $20ish/hr for entry level manual, clerical, etc work that's always hiring. If a private company wants to hire successfully, they're going to need to create jobs that are more productive than that basic standard.

Afaik there was the rollout for a 1 time 10k forgiveness which was shot down, did Biden have something on loan forgiveness beyond that and the pause on repayments?

Was there something to try to block interest being charged on federal student loans? Liz Warren had argued for it for years and dropped it before her initial campaign run and I haven't heard of anyone arguing for it since. If you couldn't sell debt forgiveness, even partial, then loan interest on fed loans seems something pretty straightforward that could be negotiated and no one seems to push for anymore.

the third and arguably most likely possibility is

the cynical side of me sees the reporting of "conscious for several minutes, shaking and writhing on the gurney" and "authorities insist the execution went to plan" and only concludes that both quotes are essentially correct

I don't know, remember that time JFK went for a ride in Dallas and had his head ventilated?

loving of course he's pissed off that someone else exists. The "I'm more popular" thing is pure, distilled narcissism just 150-decibel-screaming in his psyche that someone else is getting attention and he cannot, on a fundamental level of his being, handle that.
