    What amazes me is that a completely mentally incapacitated Joe Biden as President with a Democratic controlled Congress right now would be infinitely better for this country than what we have. It’s an amazing indictment on the bribery, incompetence, and lying that wafts thru the White House currently. 

    Do you think Biden’s candidacy could have survived another debate? What do you think Trump would have done if Biden had stayed in the race but refused another debate? 
     

    Biden was never going to win re-election, and the people who hid him from the public save for very short very controlled appearances for the last couple of years of his presidency did the world a huge disservice

    If the state is forcing this then they should be forced to cover all the medical bills along with the health care of the child should it survive, which apparently is far from guaranteed. 

    I didn’t read the article. Is the state mandating this or is it the hospital lawyers?

    I have a bad feeling about this.

    I have a super unpopular opinion:

    I actually think Sanders is going to be a great QB in the league (top 10 QB, if not an MVP candidate one day) and think he’s going to have a 10-year+ career. He’s impressed me with his positive attitude with all the chaos that’s happened and he doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously IMO. If prediction markets would let us buy a stake in a players career he’d be a huge value buy for me, based on how he’s pretty much been buried before playing a snap.

    Counterpoint: he was drafted by the Browns

    That cultural aspect is broadly eastern.  Few are better in the world at it than Persians, but Indians, Pakistanis, Afghans....they all bring that to the table.

    If you know what mindset you're dealing with when you begin your negotiations, you can account for it and do just fine.

    Poors suck down 50 years of capital's anti-union propaganda, get mad about the income/wealth distribution in this country, then vote for a charlatan blaming foreigners.

    Kinda makes sense why they’re still poor

    And there are companies that can pull this off. They don't have or need unions. And then there are companies where they can't pull this off (for a variety of reasons). They get unions. It's self correcting, to an extent.

    And if your argument is "well, you can just quit and stick it to them" - think about that from the perspective of an employee living paycheck to paycheck. That's just not a feasible solution.

    Yes but those companies who can “pull it off” only act that way because of the existence of unions

    Or maybe… I don't know… Have an environment where people don't feel the need to have somebody else represent them. I know that iis an affront to everything some of you fuckers believe in.   
    it's also no surprise the most unionized areas are the most left-leaning, in the country

    Did Grover Cleveland travel every weekend in the statue of liberty? Was it gifted to his “presidential library” so he can continue using it every weekend to golf? It’s a fucking monument. 

    They had orgies once a month in an alcove behind her right breast. Supposedly the buffet was amazing
