FlyingSquid , in As temperatures soar, judge tells Louisiana to help protect prisoners working in fields
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You know how that movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? was supposed to take place in the 1930s? It didn’t. It just looks like the 1930s down there. Especially in attitude. Or maybe the 1830s.

TransplantedSconie ,

After the Supreme Sham ruled last week we’ve gone back the the 18th century.

And the people that used to call themselves the Tea Party put those justices in the position to give us back the monarchy.

I guess slave labour doesn't get "worker" protections?

carl_dungeon , in Washington Post: Sen. Mark Warner Forming a Group Of Democratic Senators To Call On Biden To Drop Out

And be replaced by….?

TropicalDingdong OP ,

IF thats an important question to you, who do you propose?

carl_dungeon ,

I’d be all about Sanders- but just shouting about asking Biden to leave and not proposing anything better is dumb.

TropicalDingdong OP ,

I dont think Sanders is a realistic option. The convention will be all Biden/ Harris delegates.

Bell ,

Sanders is not electable

TropicalDingdong OP ,

He’s electable, by far.

But he has no delegates, so its irrelevant.

Zahille7 ,

Why wouldn’t it be an important question?

TropicalDingdong OP ,

You are more than welcome, and almost assuredly capable of doing so.

oakey66 ,

Anyone with a pulse. But my preference is Sanders, Whitmer, or Pritzker.

@pjwestin@lemmy.world avatar

I love Sanders, but we can’t ask Biden to step down because of his age and replace him with someone slightly older.

oakey66 ,

Sanders is stuttering and falling asleep but yes the optics aren’t great.

@pjwestin@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, don’t get me wrong, Sanders seems to be much sharper at this point, but it would be a bad look and the centrists would throw a fit.

mecfs ,

I dunno but that website OP linked is a well known right wing propaganda “polling aggregator” that only takes pro-trump polls. I wish they had just linked the washington post article or an archive link thereof instead.

TropicalDingdong OP ,

I linked to the first article that wasn’t paywalled.

I don’t link to WAPO because of its paywall.

Zaktor ,

The call to remove the presumptive candidate is an entirely different thing than saying “and put our chosen person in instead”. If he said a specific person you’d criticize him for trying to decide for the whole party.

The replacement should be chosen after consideration by a much broader group, either behind closed doors by party leadership if it’s Harris, or by the delegates if it’s not (or they simply don’t think directly installing her is the best move).

Ban cars

Feasible in cities and large towns (if they have a reliable public transport infrastructure), not really feasible anywhere else.

mctoasterson , in Republicans are already running against Kamala Harris

Take a look at Harris’ last several poll numbers. And that’s with nobody drawing attention to her. She wouldn’t need any help from Republicans to lose.

minibyte , (edited ) in 80 Percent of Voters Now Say Biden Is Too Old to Run

Run? He’s too old to let go on a walk alone, but if that’s the case with one – That’s the case with the other. Unless we’re having the dementia discussion.

minibyte , in US cities can now punish homelessness. Will it help or hurt a crisis?

Don’t be homeless or I’ll give you three squares and a cot is an odd threat.

bloodfart , in Republicans are already running against Kamala Harris

They’ve got their work cut out for them, she didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree!

_number8_ , in 'Exhausted,' 'bad epsiode': Biden doubles down on debate explanations in ABC News exclusive

he sounded awful, practically as bad as the debate. absolute shambles of a man, i’d feel sad if i could. he’s a stubborn, angry old man who can’t face reality.

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

He had a couple of vacant eyed, slack jawed moments like he wasn’t 100% sure what was going on, but it wasn’t as bad as the debate.

henfredemars , in Judge says FTC lacks authority to issue rule banning noncompete agreements

Sovcit-tier reasoning from some of the highest points in our rotten justice system once again.

Ghostalmedia , in Judge says FTC lacks authority to issue rule banning noncompete agreements
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Yet another reason why I’m willing to pay out the ass to live in California. If I become an expert in a technology field, and leave a toxic company for a different company in the same field, my previous employer can’t sue me.

TropicalDingdong , in 'Exhausted,' 'bad epsiode': Biden doubles down on debate explanations in ABC News exclusive

I really thought he would have the candor to step down this week. I guess we go into next week, but its still clear to me that this guy isn’t going to be the next president.

sp3tr4l , in South Carolina Man Dies After Firework Explodes On His Head

When I was a kid, my mom told me stories about working as a receptionist for a hospital, back when they used pneumatic tubes to deliver messages and computers were basically 8 colors at most.

A drunk father burst into the ER holding one screaming child in front of him with both arms, with another child in tow, sobbing.

A bunch of the the held kid’s fingers had been blown off.

My mom never told me if they managed to reattach the fingers. I’m guessing not.

She did tell me what had caused this to occur:

This guy thought it would be a fun thing to get a bunch of m80s, get in his car, with his kids, and drive down the highway, drinking, whilst lighting and chucking m80s willy nilly.

At one point, one of the kids opened their window, and woops, one of the m80s flew back into the car.

It wasn’t even the 4th of July.

Later as an older kid, I loved fireworks, but respected them.

Always had a nearby source of water, always wore sunglasses and ear plugs, always chuck something handheld if you think you lit it, but you aren’t sure, basically always follow the instructions, and even then sometimes they are crap, so always have some kind of ditch or cover to hide in/behind.

I do not understand how stupid you have to be to mix drinking and explosives or drinking and guns or drinking and driving, sadly, probably the majority of people I’ve met in my life have no problem with doing at least one of those.

explodicle , in Two-year-old becomes sixth child to die in a hot car so far this year

Parenting pro tip: Once the car seat is installed, check it every time you leave the car. Even before the baby is born, even if you are currently holding the baby.

theherk ,

Every time I leave a bathroom I go right back in to make sure I flushed. I know I did, but I still do. Same idea, albeit lower stakes.

GiddyGap , in American Pride Remains Near Record Low

Wonder why…hmmm…
