Specifically voting yes on that question.

You may have seen many restaurants putting out signs saying to vote no. That was done by management and front of house staff because they don’t want to pay their employees at the minimum wage and they don’t want to share their tips with back of the house staff (who also deserve the tips as much as FOH).

Canned beans: Healthy, filling, cheap, and convenient

Beans, broth, and salt wouldn’t be amazing, but it could get you through a few meals. Add some black pepper and it might actually be pretty good.

Add carrots (frozen or fresh), onion, celery to step it up a notch.

2 x 10^34 for those people who like to use numbers to represent numbers in a sane way.

It’s a bad headline, means negative for the day.

Although commodity futures can go negative in unusual situations. During the pandemic, oil prices went negative because demand was low and production was still high, so the cost of storing it was driving the price down. The fact that it went negative was mostly due to speculators though.

You should be able to select the version of the game that you want. Right click, manage,… ??? I forgot the rest but it’s fairly obvious from what I remember. You can just pick the most stable build of 1.## from the drop down.

They were very careful in how they worded the request. They are not asking for people to change their voting behavior, only to create a plan, and to make some public statements.

Obviously, the latter part is fine but the voting plan doesn’t require that someone actually change their behavior. They are definitely skirting the line, but I’m sure they had the help of a lawyer when they made this.

I think this is why they usually go after the people distributing the data for copywriter infringement, and not the people who use the data.

It may not be stealing, but it definitely is copywriter infringement.

I think all of your points were covered in the video, sometimes almost verbatim.

Going into debt is how they “print” money. Those are the same thing. Having debt isn’t necessarily a bad thing though, but creating too much money can increase inflation. If not handled carefully it would collapse the economy as you elide over.

Market cap doesn’t say how much cash they have available. For that, look at cash on hand which publicaly traded companies need to report

MS has about 75B cash on hand, so they could afford this themselves. They will probably argue that it will bring jobs and expertise to the state. Also, it’s a loan, so the interest will generate funding for the state as well. nevermind, not a loan from the state, so no interest would go to the state.
