  1. You said you’re going to fight like hell. Actually, not quite. Not a lawyer, but it seems like Roe was when an unelected group dictated new rights. Now it’s back in the hands of people. It’s a state to state issue so now is the chance to make yourself heard. More democratic honestly. Posters here have gotten confused thinking miscarriages can’t be taken care of etc. That’s not correct, but I’d like to make sure nothing crazy like that gets made into law. The anger here pointed in the right direction will help prevent things like that from happening. It could even lead to moderating of the laws here now on the books. Who knows?
  2. I hope y’all do fight, using legal and peaceful means, but make your voices heard. That’s the best way to make sure less crazy laws get passed. But it’s going to take a concerted, sustained effort. Not these Dallas twerking protests. What happened yesterday was the culmination of a 50 year long, organized campaign. The Long Game personified. There’s a lesson there. I think in a few years we end up for the most part like Europe. First trimester will be allowed in most states. Some will be outliers in each direction. Now’s the time to affect that if you wish.
  3. Agreed it should get worse from here. Polarization/balkanization will likely intensify with this ruling. The biggest thing driving us apart is something mentioned up thread. I’m beating a dead horse, but we’re at the end of a debt cycle. It’s shaping everything around us. We’re all fighting over a smaller economic pie. Inequality is increasing. It’s at the bottom of the geopolitical mess we’re seeing which is driving angst as well. Throw in massive corruption and you have what we have now.
  4. Exactly. Either things really aren’t nearly as bad, or our culture has degenerated to where young people are unable to coherently and effectively mobilize to change things. Probably both. I wasn’t born yet, but just look at the music. This Versus today’s drivel. Unfortunately I’ve checked more back into today’s pop music because of my kids, and there’s not a lot of substance.
  5. For as tense as things seem to be now, I would think late 60s was worse. People getting drafted into a hellhole and dying by the thousands. Unarmed students getting murdered at protests. Iconic leaders being assassinated. That’s some heavy shit.
  6. Looks like he needs a note on the back that says, YOU turn card around.
  7. This is why we take good kids from good families.
  8. Major issue for several reasons, but decreasing population is a huge drag on gdp growth. GDP has to keep up with the growth in debt, which is accelerating, in our financial system.
  9. Oh please. Why are you pretending to need justification for negging me here? 😂 You’re a frequent flyer in my notifications. When I find articles, I go out of my way to find tweets that share it in an apolitical fashion, since people like yourself can’t look past the messenger. That was the most vanilla one I could find. I have no idea who the hell that person is. The relevant passage. “At a summit of EU leaders later this week, the EU was planning a new initiative that would structurally decrease poorer nations' reliance on Russian fertilisers by helping them develop their own fertiliser plants. But at a meeting with EU envoys last week, the EU Commission explicitly opposed the text, warning that supporting fertiliser production in developing nations would be inconsistent with the EU energy and environment policies, officials said.“ I posted it here because it pertains to food security. EU is putting environmental concerns over global food security here. That’s pretty clear. Yeah if you just don’t give a fuck about anything it’s his best move. I’m not sure he cares as much about the sanctions. They affect the general population of Russia, but not really the bottom line for his army. It’s just how he can get Europe to push for negotiations and concessions from Kyiv.
  10. Gas shortages everywhere.
  11. Looks like Sri Lanka has reached a tipping point.
  12. That’s due to just ridiculous overdevelopment and water pumping. Have seen that coming for years. Although as an aside, there was an extended drought there so pronounced that the waterfall above Neal’s was completely dry. I believe it was the 1950s. I guess people here think these are good things? Give up your livestock, farmer. Also, less food for you Africans. Europe is saving the planet.
  13. It’s a bunch of hand-waving model estimates. Hocus pocus is a great description.
  14. Basically, yes. Also if you have coins on Voyager pull them off today. Or like I’ve been saying, pull them off every exchange.
  15. It’s hard to overstate the importance of DeSantis beating this clown. Imagine that instead of having a state lead the way against Covid lockdowns, we had one led by this degenerate? Totally changed our national politics. 21 counts. If you want some comedy search Gillum to see some of the comments about this guy circa 2018.
  16. What pandemic readiness? We just had one. Do you think our government would do anything different? It’s a money grab. Simple. Why are you here? You’re supposed to be downplaying energy security somewhere.
  17. Lol that demand needed a boost heading into the Chevron meeting.
  18. He’s Uvalde PD It doesn’t make a lot of sense. They even detained the UPD guy trying to go for his wife.
