she was a terrible candidate, but how in the world did Trump not motivate people to vote for her?
Easy, as you said: she was a terrible candidate
They wanted to get that first woman “status quo” president again. It lost them more votes than it won. I can’t believe they didn’t even have another round of primaries.
When they shut out bernie they really fucked the party. This timeline is their fault as much as anyone else’s.
That’s not what the image shows though. It’s comparing a kids 8oz hot chocolate to a short 8oz hot chocolate which have different prices despite being the same items.
I have seen a few posts going around about how there are short term loans like affirm being used for coffee shops but the image here just isn’t at all related.
There is nothing that dumpy is doing that cannot be undone or re-done by a future president.
Relying on a president that changes every 4-8 years to make overwhelming changes is going to cause a lot of issues. If we thought government was dysfunctional before, just wait until it’s maliciously dysfunctional.
I say that the executive branch has not been given the power to create laws or judge whether or not they are legal… but that seems to be what his administration has unilaterally decided is true now.
The laws are on the books. They should be implemented in good faith by the executive branch. This is not being done.
HQ wise: Musk exited to Texas.
Oracle is in Texas.
Microsoft is in Washington.
Amazon is in Washington.
Google, FB and Nvidia are in CA.
The tech bros don’t want to hire people in CA because salaries are too high. They do because that’s where a lot of coding talent is, but they also tend to have offices all over the world and produce as much work as possible offshore where labor costs are minimized. It’s why basically nothing is manufactured in CA, let alone the US. When things are manufactured here it’s almost always in places that use the $7.25 federal minimum wage, not states with a $16.50 minimum wage or where transportation costs are prohibitively expensive compared to local labor.
Every major decision in this country seems to end up going the way the wealthy want.
They definitely want this to have maximum punishment to deter copycats.
This will never happen. You won’t find a jury in the country that will unanimously give a not guilty verdict. Best case is a hung jury twice in a row leading to a mistrial. Worst case they find one of the loopholes that lets the judge decide or they unanimously declare him guilty.
They don’t worry about all the school shootings because their kids go to private school which is a big reason why nothing is done (24 private school shootings vs 392 public school shootings for the past 25 years or so.) The working class families are the victims, so nobody in power really cares beyond lip service.
