It is! I also go on the border a couple times every year! https://www.ontheborder.com/locations/
But then US interference most directly affects US jobs and customers. That’s a much better er situation.
Think of car manufacturers that have done this for decades. They may have a global supply chain, heading mostly back to their home country, but they also have worldwide plants near their customers. Thanks partly to similar incentives and tariffs, my Honda was assembled in, I think, Kentucky, and was as us-manufactured as any us brand, meaning us jobs, us manufacturing, partial us supply chain. The result has been almost entirely good.
We’ve spent the last few decades outsourcing key industries, where US no longer has as much manufacturing and we’re way too dependent on other countries. It took supply chain disruptions from COViD to realize how much of a bad idea that was.
We’re finally trying to recapture some of those key jobs, industries, supply chains, dependencies, starting with chips and renewable energy. THANKS, BIDEN! this is what will make America great again
Supposedly included a stockpile of iskandr missiles ….
Hypersonic missiles are very difficult to shoot down, so ideally you want to get them much earlier, toward launch. In this case even earlier, while in a warehouse before launch
And somehow when my ex asked for help, I’ve spent weekends at her house carrying heavy stuff, assembling furniture and fixing stuff. Crap, I need to set boundaries, don’t I?
He’s not a freeloader because he pays his fair share of taxes…. Wait a minute
He’s not a freeloader because he takes on the risks of a job creator, including any financial losses…. Crap, nope
He’s not a freeloader because when he contracts put work he pays on time what was agreed …… can you see the pattern?
It’s misspelled slang
“Trump pwns the libs” == “ Trump defeats the liberals”
Conservative/Reactionaries love anything to beat the liberals who are trying to bring change
It’s difficult for at least half of us to understand as well, but the only answer is repressed anger, desperation, fear of change. People are unhappy and Trump gives them an outlet with his rants, identifies scapegoats to hate, attacks changes they are afraid of. Even his open flouting of the law attracts those who feel stifled by overbearing laws.
Let’s take the Department of Education as an example. Here, education is mostly at the state and local level. The federal department of education doesn’t have much say, but they can give money with strings attached. In the last few decades, those strings included requirements for the disabled, racial and gender equity in school sports, separation of church and state (like our Constitution requires), programs to uplift the impoverished or poorly served, as well as programs to identify and remediate failing schools. For example my town just built a new high school: some of the reasons for the insane cost are federal requirements because they paid for most of it. People may not be comfortable with all these changes imposed by the federal government, despite the funding that comes with it and regardless of the overall good. Demagogues like Trump can stoke outrage based on outsiders telling people what to do.
Now it’s a core Republican plank to shut down the Department of Education, so state and local governments can run Education their way. I don’t believe they even think about what they’d lose, who they’d lose it for, or how much worse off they’d be., just “stop telling us what to do”
Contrary to their claims, it doesn’t just affect the rich. It many of us in high tax states, and was politically motivated.
Here in Massachusetts, paying the average property tax plus state income tax on the average income already hits the cap, then you have various excise and sales taxes. Sure, we choose higher taxes to pay for a higher quality of life, but Trump’s SALT cap means we pay taxes on taxes, which is just wrong. For the people who oppose changing or removing this, are you really saying an income of $46,000 is rich?
It does need to go but I would never trust the person who created it in the first place, nor give him credit for backing out his own spiteful action
It all starts with a dating app - find the person of your dreams, build a life together, have children, help them grow up, then …… you have a house full of people with phones who can find your phone!
But more seriously: assuming Apple, I can find my phone from my iPad and from my Watch. I do also have the family set up as an iCloud family so that is easy as well. I expect any Siri device as well
I couldn’t find the oldest building overall, but the oldest surviving house was built in 1716. While my city was settled earlier, it was essentially a “boom town” of the early Industrial Revolution in the US
You’re right. The article I read had listed typical uses as EVs and personal mobility without saying anything about their size. Looking up actual pager batteries. I do see similar dimensions and similar weight, so it’s plausible they would explode similarly
If they have a concept of danger, it’s enough to blast away
They “became aware of a knife in his pocket”. That’s why there was no light reflecting
You’re linking to an EV battery on the idea that a pager would use it?
Look, I’m just quoting Wikipedia. It seems like you have an argument with them.
Your quote is followed with
According to The New York Times, “Big legislation largely eludes Mr. Sanders because his ideas are usually far to the left of the majority of the Senate … Mr. Sanders has largely found ways to press his agenda through appending small provisions to the larger bills of others.”[146] […] Nevertheless, he has sponsored over 500 amendments to bills,[148] many of which became law.
Man, I used to think I was so handy, doing household, appliance, and car repairs, etc ……
It’s been a while since I needed to do anything, and now I have this cursed ikea furniture. Somehow it took three weekends to put a bed together, and it’s not even done since I broke another part. I’ve never before broken ikea furniture on assembly and have never needed support or replacement parts, yet this effing bed has needed replacements twice.
I don’t know if my hands are cursed and I’ll never again be handy, or if it’s ikea
I’m quoting Wikipedia, and that Wikipedia entry has such a list
I’m completely on board with that, except for the “wish fulfillment”. I don’t know how it got twisted around that you could presume to tell God what to do or that he would - it seems so entirely inconsistent with anything else about religious beliefs
So we have this all powerful and all knowing supreme being , right? And he’s got a plan for the entire universe and all of time, right? But he’ll disrupt all of that to grant you a favor if you wish hard enough? Or you can blame him if something bad happens to you specifically, out of all the universe over all time? What hubris, what ego could make us think we’re in control and can use it for personal gain?
