> Jesus what a horrific ungodly precedent

It's not precedent

"Because the Supreme Court may turn down cases “for many reasons,” Sotomayor stressed, the denial of review in Mckesson’s case “expresses no review about the merits of” his claim"

Officers hurt during Jan 6th have already sued Trump. These lawsuits have been ongoing since 2021

I'm not a landlord, I rent an apartment :)

> Ban renting

Yikes! You are really out of touch and clearly are not thinking in good faith. I hope you feel better soon

> I guess everyone has roommates

Yes, apparently 40% of single people have roommates in NYC

Keep in mind that having a "roommate" is common everywhere in the US- 50% of households are romantic partners, with most of those households having 2 incomes. You have to keep that in mind when looking at living expenses everywhere.

> heavily taxing multiple property ownership

Which would harm the development of multi-family housing and increase the cost of living. Remember that "real workers" do not build and own 100+-unit dwellings

You are mistaken. Reagan's tax cuts, which included cuts for the lower class, decreased tax revenue and put more money in the average person's pockets.

Presidents after Reagan started to pillage the lower and middle class for more tax revenue. Notably George H.W. [1]

So you agree with his statement? A larger proportion of the average person's income is taken by taxes.

$100k absolutely can cut it in most of the US- even in expensive cities. The median income in New York City is $76k [1].

The article uses a wild definition of "American Dream" where 50% of income has to be able to be spent on non-essential things. I really don't think most people will actually spend like that.

More taxes do not make the world a better place

> per-transaction tax on securities trades

This already exists anyway. I assume you just want to increase it?

And? That's not what inflation is

That's strange because I was about to comment the exact opposite. ECS is for games, inheritance is for almost everything else

> doesn't decrease the global crypto mining rate

It doesn't- but why would Biden care about that? If it moves to a different country then it reduces demand in our local grid. That's a GOOD thing.

737 MAX can land with missing or damaged tires as well. It's a legal requirement for large passenger planes

> This led her to post that she hopes that the CEO “dies a forever painful death involving a car covered in hammers that explodes more than a few times and hammers go flying everywhere.”

Seems like a pretty fair reason to be banned

> Building redundant and competitive production

You do realize these fabs already exist? There is no redundant or competitive production currently.

I feel like I've seen this title every month for the last 20 years. And of course, the not-included subtitle is: romans didn't have cars, that weighted a lot

"Amazon Alexa is a “colossal failure,” on pace to lose $10 billion this year" (2022)

This keynote really makes it seem like a scam. For example the "plan travel" section hardly shows anything. He just says "It's all been planned out, I just confirm, confirm, confirm..."- while the camera cuts to him tapping the device without showing anything on the screen.

I assume that would be under "Poisoning"

> corporate right-libertarian Silicon Valley bullshit

What the hell does that even refer to

> Not caring what politicians say is asinine, since its politicians who ultimately write the laws.

You missed my point. I'm saying we shouldn't write laws with the goal of changing what politicians say.

> references some federal metrics that incorporate the MW as an input

You are misunderstanding that report. It's discussing potential ways to index the federal minimum wage to inflation. All those metrics do not include the minimum wage as an input

> I ask because lots of things like welfare payments and estimates of poverty level involve comparisons with the MW

Can you give an example of such a welfare program? I'm not aware of any that use the minimum wage as a baseline. Most use the federal poverty level, which is pegged to the cost of food (and is updated yearly for inflation).

> It's sometimes advantageous for a politician to say...

I don't really care what politicians say; I'd rather have policy be evidence-based rather than reaction-based

Because you can just increase minimum wage at the state level

It's also missing the biggest point: no charger at home. I live in an apartment building, there are no chargers. I would be worried about my commute, since I would be driving to the other side of town for the rare public charger

> Uni in the EU is very inexpensive

For public universities, not private ones.

In the US, private universities are also the most expensive...

Layoff of contractors, not employees.

> "I’ve always wanted to remove the role [and the] need for professional people to prescribe difficult drugs to use

Yikes. It seems like you would want a barrier to entry when it comes to legal suicide...

Also, a lot of companies (and the US government) start their fiscal year on October 1st to avoid the year ending during holidays.

Yes, and the magazine company has a right to stop sending you more magazines if they don't like that
