TransplantedSconie , to news in Couples race to move frozen embryos out of Alabama after court defines them as children

Think of the potential tax wind fall these people could have! I’d knuckle shuffle up some “kids” and rake in the tax money.

TellusChaosovich ,

Unfortunately they made embryos children for the purposes of punishments, but let the bill die that would have made them dependents on taxes.

lolcatnip ,

What if we treat that bill as a person, too?

TransplantedSconie ,

Take it to court! They either have to decide this law is shit, or it forces the state to pay for them.

agitatedpotato ,

Well they cant be half children. Theyre either kids or not, Id claim them all and if they audit it, then it FORCES the government to involve themselves and set a precedent. If it’s a life, its certainly dependent on the clinic, claim them. Also if they’re truly considered lives, they are inherently entitled to all the rights the US offers living humans. A state tax bill can’t negate that, only dropping the clasification of being a living being can.

rambaroo ,

The history of this country proves that we have no issues with the blatant cognitive dissonance of declaring someone to only be a portion of a person.

agitatedpotato ,

And now there’s precedent on how that’s not legal. I still think its a worthwile challenge.

By that logic, women are committing murder every time they menstruate.

Maybe I missed something because the article is behind a paywall.

Edit: ok, as pointed out, I don’t know how these things work. I apologize, and accept all the downvotes and jabs you can give.

Plenty of times a fertilized egg is expelled during menstruation for one reason or another though.

An unfertilized egg is not the same thing as an embryo.

Well… their religion has a virgin birth so maybe that’s where their confusion comes from.

Fertilized eggs get flushed all the time when they fail to implant. One step closer to making sex illegal. Fucking idiots…

Oh, my bad.

neptune , to news in Couples race to move frozen embryos out of Alabama after court defines them as children

Isn’t it illegal to transport a child to commit a crime? Human trafficking? Kidnapping? What a can of worms. I feel like there’s too much money in fertility treatments for SCOTUS to let this stand.

Pantsofmagic ,

Well since they don’t have birth certificates I guess they’re undocumented people and that would be bad mmkay.

Embryo camps. Spotlights, very small dogs. We’ll get every last one.

Just send them on a bus to sanctuary cities! Checkmate… Oh, wait, that gives them what they want. We’ve been Uno reverse carded!

culpritus , to worldnews in British-registered ship abandoned amid fears it will sink after Houthi double strike in Gulf 🐳
@culpritus@hexbear.net avatar

This is going to boost the insurance rates I would imagine. Prosperity Guardian is going to be spending money on protecting a handful of the most risk-tolerant ships/crews. The only other traffic will be non-genocider/enablers stuff that won’t be targeted anyway.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Insurance rates for western ships have indeed gone up already, and I think it’s safe to say that Prosperity Guardian is a complete and utter failure at this point. Yemenis continues to effectively blockade the ships of genociders that try to go through its waters, and US is completely impotent to stop them.

JeeBaiChow , to world in Putin vs the West: At War, documentary review: the inside story of the war that took world leaders by surprise

When the Crimea invasion elicited no discernable reaction, is ‘surprise’ the correct word to use as a reaction to the occurrence of subsequent war?

Tbf I think he told them he wouldn’t do anymore war.

I think actually BT might have messed up by trying a bit too early with residential FTTP. BT trialled FTTP at around the same time as FTTC if I recall correct (in some very limited areas). But I don't think the processes were refined enough to do this residentially at a reasonable cost. I suspect this is part of the reason they moved laterally to commit to an easier to deploy (at the time) FTTC/G.Fast rollout.

Now, there's a fairly streamlined process the altnets are using and BT are now committed to moving to a full fibre network. But, even being the big boys, they're playing catchup to other companies.

In my area (which is not a city or even that close to one), there's almost a divvying up of the area between the various altnets, and they're moving seriously fast. BT? Not a FTTP priority exchange, so don't hold your breath.

There’s a trend with all the countries fucked over on broadband… ALL conservatives/neoliberals.

Same goes for economics.

Buffalox ,

Copper industry currently is driven by increased integration and increased electrification of EU.

Way back in 1999/2000 I was working for a division of the company I was working at before that wasn't based in the UK. As such, while there was a physical office near me, there was literally no reason to go there. I was on a trial of ADSL at the time (2Mbit, and that was amazing for the time) and so, working from home was actually faster than the office.

A few years before, I'd seen the BT engineers hooking up the office's phone lines via fibre (ISDN30). The single fibre ran 30 phone lines, an internet connection and a frame relay for private connection between sites with capacity to spare. I thought that was pretty cool.

I got to thinking back then. Someone (with money) should really connect normal people up to a fibre network. Because that one cable could do many things. You could send your cable tv over that fibre, internet, phone, a private connection to the office (VPNs did exist then, but weren't really the main way you connected sites), and likely other things too. That is, the business would be just laying the fibre and providing access points for ANY service to run bits over the line.

20+ years later we're kinda getting there (albeit OK not actual cable but streaming services. And there's no real need for frame relay any more. But really there's no reason they couldn't do TV with some multicast setup, and vpns are doing the same job).

I think yes, we dropped the ball over here.
