we saw under Biden that the main Liberal answer to climate change is Electric Cars which net doesn’t help and in fact worsens our e-waste issue.

This is a petroleum industry talking point and it is false.

I think we all added he’d be a lame president and not a modern Commodus or Nero.

He was clearly a narcissist and a fascist, and many of us could see where this was going quite clearly. I was in a room full of hundreds of people on the night he was declared the winner, and many of those people openly wept and expressed in fear of the future.

tl;dr

Paxton 2 (Reitz) Paxton 2 (Huffman) 2 other Confederates who won’t win And 3 Democrats who won’t win

The difference is Musk and most Confederates have zero values, whereas Greene and Boebert seem to be genuinely against pedophilia.

The point is the baseline price of pasta for consumers increased. Do you really think the people who need to buy this due to cost have the time to make their own pasta?

Alternate headline: “NY Times writes subtly skeptical and subtly negative article about a progressive who hasn’t even taken office yet, finding plenty of inches to dedicate to her critics, including a real estate agent, a campaigner for the failed incumbent, and the incumbent himself, a former corporate lawyer who tried to spoil her chances in the general after he lost the primary to her—but only finding space to give the mayor-elect three short sentences.”

And it seems like she has plenty of organizing experience to me, but in terms of preparation to lead a municipal government I guess it can’t hold a candle to being a corporate lawyer. You know, because of all the governing corporate lawyers do.

Ms. Wilson […] led a series of campaigns over the past decade to expand access to mass transit, raise local minimum wages and add protections for renters — often through some form of taxing the rich.

As co-founder of the Transit Riders Union, an advocacy group, Ms. Wilson built a network of fellow organizers and won a string of campaigns to expand access to public services and fight the growing gap between the ultrarich and everyone else in the Seattle region. Ms. Wilson played a key role in convincing the Seattle City Council to create what’s known as the “JumpStart tax,” a levy of 0.75 percent to 2.5 percent on the salaries of the highest-paid employees at about 500 of the city’s largest businesses. Revenue from the tax is supposed to fund affordable housing, small-business support and climate-change programs, though in recent years, the city [sic] has helped balance the city’s general fund.

Never change, NY Times.

If you have the means and haven’t yet set up a monthly donation to a local food bank, please consider it.

Seriously, when you read the quotes in that article, you realize how many people are undiagnosed schizophrenics.

Assuming a higher interest rate than a 30-year fixed and assuming a generous 10% return on your investments, that’s like $5 per month…

I’m not quite sure I understand your logic. H-1B is a visa type. If your visa is not renewed, you must leave the country. Your proposal really wouldn’t satisfy either side of the arrangement, because once training ends, foreign workers would have to find a new role or leave. For companies, it’s tedious, time-consuming, and expansive to update or renew an H-1B visa. It would also be ripe for abuse, as both sides would be incentivized to ignore that stipulation.

Companies used to train people. You could work your way from an entry-level position and eventually learn many parts of the business, which would result in senior managers and executives who deeply understood it.

But employers haven’t been interested in training for decades. Training is spending time not making money. They want people who already know how to make money for them from day one, which is a reason they import workers, rather than train citizens. In other words, corporations created the conditions they now use to hire H-1B workers.

So I think this program does real harm to American workers. I think they should end it entirely and force companies to focus more on training, or go back to treating university curricula as their feeder programs by partnering with schools, like they used to.

I say that having just hired an H-1B worker because there weren’t any comparable candidates. Companies don’t value loyalty and treat workers as disposable, so it’s no surprise. That’s the fundamental problem that needs to be addressed, but now there’s even less incentive to create entry-level jobs because of AI.

Jones raised the history of immigration in the U.S. to further her point, while praising how Bad Bunny reflected modern America.

Bad Bunny isn’t an immigrant. Puerto Rico is a US territory…

I think it was pretty rare, at least after the first year or so. I had a Game Gear maybe a year after it launched, and I desperately wanted this as a kid so I could watch TV in my bedroom or on car trips. I searched everywhere, called stores, etc. but never did find one.

They’re giving up a big part of it. They’re funding several different departments through 2026.

Democratic senators voting in favor:

Thank you. I read the entire article and I don’t really understand what the OP is trying to achieve with this post, which no one from that group will read, just as no one from that group has ever played a video game. They just seem like publicity-seeking busybodies with time to kill between complaints about their neighbors to their HOAs.

In particular I still don’t understand why any of this is relevant to retro games. Modern games, sure. But it doesn’t look like they’re trying to get Crash Bandicoot banned from Steam.

I don’t know what this group is and I have no idea what you’re talking about. Most of all I don’t understand why this is posted in a retro gaming community
