TransplantedSconie , in With over 577,000 signatures verified, Arizona will put abortion rights on the ballot

They better not vote republican or it won’t matter.

    By a Supreme Court decision. A decision that was only possible after trump was able to choose three conservative justices.

    Biden isn’t on the Supreme Court. He has no hand in the fall of Roe vs. Wade

    Please tell us which of the following people Joe Biden put on the Supreme Court in the four years he’s been president:

    Clarence Thomas
    John Roberts
    Samuel Alito
    Neil Gorsuch
    Brett Cavanaugh
    Amy Coney Barrett

    How many of those did he put on the court during his presidency? It must have been a lot of them for it to be his fault Roe was struck down.

    @verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

    During Clarence Thomas’s nomination hearings in 1991, Biden’s questions on constitutional issues were often convoluted to the point that Thomas sometimes lost track of them,[115] and Thomas later wrote that Biden’s questions were akin to “beanballs”.[116] After the committee hearing closed, the public learned that Anita Hill, a University of Oklahoma law school professor, had accused Thomas of making unwelcome sexual comments when they had worked together.[117][118] Biden had known of some of these charges, but initially shared them only with the committee because Hill was then unwilling to testify.[16] The committee hearing was reopened and Hill testified, but Biden did not permit testimony from other witnesses, such as a woman who had made similar charges and experts on harassment.[119] The full Senate confirmed Thomas by a 52–48 vote, with Biden opposed.[16] Liberal legal advocates and women’s groups felt strongly that Biden had mishandled the hearings and not done enough to support Hill.[119] In 2019, he told Hill he regretted his treatment of her, but Hill said afterward she remained unsatisfied.[120]

    During his early years in the Senate, Biden focused on consumer protection and environmental issues and called for greater government accountability.[82] In a 1974 interview, he described himself as liberal on civil rights and liberties, senior citizens’ concerns and healthcare, but conservative on other issues, including abortion and military conscription.[83]

    Biden is the same now as he has always been

    when has he ever tried to defend women’s rights

    You don’t seem to be very familiar with how the U.S. government works, so I will have to educate you:

    1. The president nominates the justice.
    2. One senator alone is not responsible for approving that nomination.
    3. Clarence Thomas alone couldn’t strike down Roe.

    I know you really want to blame Biden for this, but maybe do it after taking a basic civics course.

    See, the problem with you claiming you aren’t blaming Biden for the end of Roe v. Wade is that you literally blamed him for ending it just a few comments above.

    The Roe v. Wade decision happened the same year Biden was elected to the senate.

    So based on your own argument, he was also responsible for abortion being legal for 50 years.

    verdantbanana ,
    @verdantbanana@lemmy.world avatar

    was on shaky ground for fifty years because it was never put into law or properly defended

    Democrats never got a true hard on for codifying Roe v. Wade

    just say whatever it takes to get donations and votes

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    That wasn’t a response to what I said.

    Based on your logic, Joe Biden is personally responsible for abortion being legalized in the United States.

    I’m sorry you don’t like your own logic.

    I just bought my own key for those cabinets because even if I order something from my local Walmart for delivery or pickup that is in one of these, they will say it’s sold out even if they have a full shelf of shit.

    TrickDacy ,
    @TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

    You’re claiming they all use the exact same key and also no one sees you on a security camera and kicks you out…? Also they just refuse to sell you things they have but lie about…?

    I think you could get an additional charge for having “lockpicking” tools in some states, so instead of a minor shoplifting charge, it could get enhanced to a felony.

    AA5B ,

    I always heard it proved intent. Lock picks are not illegal, but if you bring them to a robbery you’ve clearly planned ahead

    Kolanaki ,
    @Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

    You ever work at Walmart? Nobody actively monitors the cameras and the cabinets all use a T-shaped barrel key. Usually only a single employee carries the keys and with the time constraints set by OGP (the team that fills pickup and delivery orders), nobody wants to waste time looking for that person.

    TrickDacy ,
    @TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

    Never worked retail. All this is surprising to me, especially that they’re consistently refusing to sell you in-stock items

    cm0002 ,

    Having worked in a closely related industry, fast food, none of this is surprising.

    When I worked FF I definitely told people the Ice Cream/Shake machine was broken/off/down for cleaning all the time when it was busy because I couldn’t be bothered to deal with it (it’s annoying AF to make shakes and it ALWAYS broke your workflow when you were getting to a good speed)

    I’ve also told people we were out of something just because it required me to go to the back because we ran out of what was stocked in front

    So yea, if I worked retail and I had to find someone with a key to fulfill a pickup order and I had the ability to simply mark it as out of stock…yea I think you know what action I’d take.

    That’s what happens when they pay you the bare minimum. Minimum pay, minimum effort.

    TrickDacy ,
    @TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

    You just validated so many suspicions that I’ve had.

    Sounds to me yet another reason to vote out the assholes who're proclaiming to be for the children and youth. But only if it's the youth and children that align with their perfect citizen template; White, Straight and Christian.

    Frozyre , (edited ) in Locking up items to deter shoplifting is pushing shoppers online

    Edit: Oh, do the thieves not like the comment? Too bad. Stop stealing. No, you're not fucking 'The Man', you're fucking all over the hard-working and overworked retail workers and their stores. So fuck you.

    Yup, incoming more salty responses from illogical dipshits with their mental gymnastics.

    Here's an idea - stop planting your stores in places where crime is prominent. Threaten towns that if they don't clean their crime act, they won't get a store that'll be convenient for people living there.

    Pulling back on self-checkout too? Self-Checkout can actually still be of use, if it was more modernized and monitored. Also, if people adequately did their jobs too.

    Other than theft, people are online shopping for other reasons. Maybe they don't want to spend too much on gas going to a location an hour or longer away, find out that the shit they want isn't available so they've gotta now go around town just picking store after store until they get even a quarter of what they want.

    Maybe people don't want to put up with all of the shitstains that manage to collect enough braincells to get up and go out, with their wailing stupid kids and their need to obstruct anyway they can while they motion around like fucking zombies.

    they won’t get a store that’ll be convenient for people living there

    They won’t have a big box store come in, starve out all of the small businesses, and force their town into indentured servitude where everyone has to work there, they’re not paid a living wage, and they can only afford to shop at the big box store, further increasing the problem in a vicious cycle?

    The horror, I tell you.

    Frozyre ,

    Lemme tell you the amount of plaza chains and stuff that are built around and near big-box stores. Do you just live in a town where it's just one big box store? Please...

    The ignorance of your comment.

    lolcatnip ,

    Your ignorance is showing. A hell of a lot of people do live in towns where the only options are a big box store, or equally shitty dollar stores.

    the_toast_is_gone ,

    How often do more ethical businesses swoop in to rent out the spaces formerly occupied by indentured servitude corporations? If these businesses aren’t replaced by something, what will the people formerly working there do for an income?

    Burn_The_Right , in SpaceX accused of dumping mercury into Texas waters for years

    TCEQ has no power to enforce anything in Texas without the Governor and AG’s cooperation. Mark my words. As long as Texas is run by conservatives, absolutely nothing at all will be done to protect the environment in Texas. Absolutely nothing. Everything related to the environment is performative in Texas, not substantive.

    Conservatives delight in pollution. They equate pollution with freedom. Conservatives in Texas intentionally choose vehicles with the worst exhaust, they litter, they dump chemicals directly down drains, into sewers and into waterways, they “roll coal”, they joyfully embrace chemical plants and they mock absolutely anyone who has any problem with dirty air or water. If you can’t handle chemical-laden air, you are considered weak or “librul”. Clean water is for pussies.

    There’s a reason the number one cancer research center in the U.S. is based in Houston. The air is famously polluted by nearby refineries that do not report what they release into the air to the public. They are permitted to “self-report” that they are not violating any rules, but there is no actual check performed by TCEQ without a great deal of advance notice and preparation.

    Texas is a conservative haven of airborne and waterborne carcinogens. Musk knew that when he moved here. That’s the reason polluters move here. Because conservatives fucking love pollution.

    When I hear of a conservative in Texas getting a brutal form of cancer, I just smile and nod because I presume they’ve achieved their goal. It’s the only silver lining in Texas, other than the silver-laden clouds.

    d00phy ,

    Agreed. I’ve read an article hear and there over the past couple years about this and how a reckoning is coming. Space-X leaving California in favor of Texas is too big an advertisement for their brand. They won’t do anything to upset the Musky child.

    Preacher ,

    Not ‘conservatives’

    Nothing conservative about them

    daellat ,

    I mean they are referred to as conservatives because of their predominantly archaic social and economical laws not because they conserve the ecology

    Preacher ,

    Their politics are not conservative. They are inflammatory and extremist.

    Burn_The_Right ,

    Those concepts are not at all mututally exclusive. In fact, they are typically correlated.

    It is not possible for a conservative to enter a conversation or debate in good faith.

    If I have to wait for an employee to unlock an item, I’m just buying it somewhere else, whether it’s online or another brick and mortar that doesn’t make me beg to spend money there. Same with stores that have passcode locks on their bathroom doors. I’m not asking a retail worker for permission to pee.

    I’m not asking a retail worker for permission to pee.

    Will someone please tell the Europeans having to have cash to piss or shit is a crime against humanity?

    I wish our gvnts understood that. Plus I’m in a wheelchair so I can never enter those fucking doors things even if I want to pay

    Cosmonauticus ,

    In my travels across Europe most countries give a massive middle finger to the disabled. I hear the argument in preserving old building and architecture but you’re essentially walling off an entire sedition of ppl from living normally. As an American living in Germany I’d have a tough time choosing between German cheap Healthcare vs American handicap friendly infrastructure if I was disabled

    FundMECFSResearch ,

    Though problem with the US is if your disability prevents you from driving your fucked.

    phdepressed ,

    If you’re in a larger city driving isn’t necessary, the problem is paying for living in a larger city near the public transport stops.
