Legal weed, in general is another big example.

That isn’t the only place where they’ve done so, just one that is memorable because of how it crushed the site.

Is this an actual firing or a thing like the nlrb or whistleblower where it is illegal and gets reversed. I remember Biden not being able to fire R commissioners from their positions being a reason for certain things not getting done.

Just one of many anti-terror laws that are way too easy to use for other purposes. Unless you have a diplomatic bag CBP can legally search everything you’re bringing in.

You’d hope but polling had him crush walz in their debate. Vance has the ability to sound sane at first check while spouting lies and half truths. Vance is republican that’s all that matters to an R voter and he is able to craft lies quite well. We’re still talking about eggs when he was on video being wrong about their price. He basically started an anti Haitian riot in Ohio. His “grilling” of Zelensky in the white house. However, he’s not been implicated in any of the Musk/doge bs. I don’t know any real skeletons in his closet because of the couch fucker meme and the more recent photoshop memes of his face.

NY doesn’t have recall options in our state constitution. Unless someone can introduce him to Mario’s brother he’s there until 2026.

There were some hopeful years during reconstruction, lots of black officials before Jim crow and kkk. It didn’t last because presidents after Lincoln abdicated their responsibility of educating the south and preventing voter/elected official intimidation.

I think it’s very telling that mamdami’s money comes from 16,000 individual donors while Cuomos comes from less than 3,000 individuals. Cuomo still has name recognition and frankly most people don’t care as shown by repeated election of moderate Dems even in “safe” democratic areas.

Because they also keep capitulating on actual votes. Both of my states supposedly Dem senators voted for the recent CR (Schumer and Gillibrand). Unfortunately NY doesn’t have a recall process.

It’s called indirect costs to use appropriate terms. These are part of awarded grant money but not part of the actual proposed research budget. These costs exist because there are utilities, office supplies, yes admin, etc that are needed to actually perform research that are 1) hard/impossible/impractical to quantify on a per grant basis and 2) specifically disallowed from being paid via the research budget.

The practice is fine in principle. Rates have gone up because inflation has gone up more than the budgets have. Also how universities allocate that part of their budget should also be changed. Rates should be walked back but that needs to be concurrent with budget increases.

Note that except for part of the PIs salary all salaries, benefits, equipment, reagents, etc are paid from the research budget.

People are dumb, especially when lied to 24/7.

The average Russian probably still thinks that Ukraine is Nazis and that they are winning. The average Chinese doesn’t know about Tiananmen square students protest or the brutal suppression much less Uyghurs genocide. Name a country and there’s something along those lines ongoing or at least in recent history. The far-right in Europe is doing much like America was just 10-20y ago other places are already ahead into their authoritarian phase.

What’s the squarish bit from?

They eat most small critters they see including ticks.

Checkbooks exist for a reason.

The bigger effects will take years if not decades. Who is going to go into government work when they start hiring again? The salary doesn’t beat industry so the primary draw was always stability. Doge has taken that away and it’ll never come back if Rs and “moderate” Dems remain anywhere close to power.

Letitia James and Juumane Williams. Need to replace gov Hochul as well but I can live with nation over state.

Tchaikovsky, yeah. Honestly, he’s got better stuff than that.

An older small house 30+min from a smaller city with some fixing to do.

Previous crackhouses are more likely to be auctioned or sub 100k in all but the craziest areas.

Tesla was always an unjustified bubble. Even after these losses it has a market cap of ~800B compared to Toyota at 295B. Despite Toyota selling 10.8 million vehicles to Teslas 1.8 million last year. Assuming similar profit per vehicle tesla should be worth ~50B, assuming 3 times the profit, tesla should still max out at ~150B. There’s a long way to drop yet.

I’m going to need some context on that thought. A skim of his wiki doesn’t mention mass firings or veteran’s issues. Truman served and saw combat in WWI as an artillery captain. As president he desegregated the army and dropped nukes on Japan. He also oversaw the Berlin airlift and part of the Korean war of 1950-1953.
