Anti-abortion stances hurt minorities most. So, it’s surprising that Texas has one. The rate of teen mothers here is ridiculous though. Go out to a mall and you’ll find half a dozen within an hour.
Not surprising when you realize pro birthers leadership doesn’t care about race as much as ensuring that there’s a poor, unhealthy (mentality and physically), and uneducated population to exploit. Ya they are racist but their wealthy donors like Walmart only make money by employing “lower classes” and their customers are that as well. The moment people stop having children in this late capitalist dystopia the whole system falls apart.
Proud to be the only one providing actual analysis of legality in these comments so far 🫡
“I don’t think most campaign finance lawyers believe that this is a best reading of the law,” Rick Hasen, an election law expert at UCLA’s law school, told CNN on Tuesday of the Trump campaign’s argument. But, he added, “that doesn’t mean it can’t get tied up in FEC proceedings for years.”
Veteran Republican election lawyer Charlie Spies, who briefly served as the RNC’s general counsel earlier this year, argued recently that the Biden-Harris team must be formally nominated by their party before any money could be shifted.
“If President Biden is committed to passing the torch to his vice president, and wants to be able to seed her campaign with the current Biden for President campaign war chest, he’ll first have to become his party’s legal nominee,” Spies wrote in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal before Biden’s exit from the race.
But other campaign finance experts disagree. And Federal Election Commissioner Dara Lindenbaum, a Democrat viewed as a swing vote on the evenly divided commission, has said Harris could access what Biden raised through the campaign committee because it is registered for both the president and vice president.
School staff and student schedules are mostly set for the new year. This announcement is 4 months too late. It’s not like students can sign up for it now
We’re so lucky! This could be the next dynamic due that the country really needs! 8,500,000,000 x Trumps < dog poop < rock < chimp < dolphin < really smart 3rd grader < grad student < Biden + Kamela < Kamela + Mark. I assume the world population is 8.5 billion because I would never vote Trump so he himself would have to vote himself in as the last person around.
Anyway, plus Mark is a minority! He might be the first Albino dolphin American astronaut to ever become president! LOL. All I. Good fun! Good luck you two! I’m counting on you!
Congratulations, republicans, you’re killing your own small towns by being insufferable and refusing to allow any culture to exist then you wonder why your kids refuse to move back to the area…
Oh they want culture to exist, but it’s a monoculture and it’s their own. Of course we all know what happens to monocultures. Or at least anybody knows anything about farming does.
By the time this settles Amazon is going to be selling abortion kits and training books with Catholic theme decals…and then Jesus inserts the scapula, now pray a little bit and rotate 360 degrees. And the republicans deserve it. Plus freeway billboards with ads to pornhub. Gay, pornhub. Imagine a guy’s face and his mouth pointing to the left of the sign with all of it pixelated from the mouth to the edge in varying levels of pink and brown.
That seems pretty harsh. Also they weren’t rock climbing, it’s a 14 mile hike where only the last 400 ft involves scaling rock using two metal cables to hold onto, and the storm didn’t roll in until they were making their descent. She was 20 years old. Very few people die doing this.
they weren’t trying to be up there during a storm, though.
A ranger told them there were storms in the forecast
Ranger literally told them a storm was forecast. I’m sure they didn’t want to be up there during a storm. I mean who the hell does. But there’s a whole lot of personal responsibility to be had here for their situation.
Hikes like half dome and angels’ landing are super dangerous whether or not people die frequently on them. You’re not stupid to do these hikes if you prepare for them, but even if you’re prepared, there is still risk.
These hikes can get crowded even with the ticket system, and more and more people rush up these trails to get the shot for their Insta or whatever. Two-way crowds of impatient tourists on these narrow ledges and steep scrambles/climbs are a real issue and even a prepared hiker could get unlucky.
Not to mention other hazards like incliment weather like in this case. Half-dome is a unique weather risk during that final climb because it is just rock. Rock worn extra smooth and made dusty by hikers’ boots. If it rains, that dust turns to silty mud and you now have nature’s most majestic slip-n-slide.
The national parks make nature accessible, and because it’s accessible, people underestimate it and don’t respect it like they should.
When I got to the cables part of angel’s landing, saw the amount of people attempting to finish the hike and their relative fitness level, I noped the f out of there.
I’m not trusting my life with some rando that looks like they have no business doing what they are doing.
Same here. The sheer 800ft. Drops on either sides of of the 2-4ft wide ridge with people coming both ways was a no from me.
Also even just on the way up the the first landing (the like 500sqft flat area where you can rest) with that 1.5ft wide ledge getting up to it and the rope with 300ft sheer drops- I had a frustrated dad wearing flip flops and a 2 year old kid in a baby backpack rushing by everyone while people were heading down too. Shit’s wild.
Experienced hiker and noob climber here. I did the exact same thing at Angel’s Landing. The route would’ve been easy even without the aid. It’s all the inexperienced people fucking around that made it very dangerous.
Do you read? Rhetorical question, you did not.
Hikes are given out in a lottery system.
They applied months in advance and flew to the hike.
This information isn’t for you, your comment is cunty and you’re a lost cause. To others who come through, don’t be as dumb as this person. Read the article.
I've been in this situation before and no. Usually to get these tickets you got to be near a computer when they release as they go fast. So there isn't much alternative if they miss the time for any reason.
“In 2010, the National Park Service took action to prevent overcrowding that was thought to lead to accidents, particularly in bad weather. It instituted a 300-person-per-day limit on the summit and required hikers to apply for daily permits through the lottery.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work. A 2018 study by Wilderness & Environmental Medicine showed that after the permit system went into effect, the number of incidents per person doubled. The study’s authors theorized that the difficulty in obtaining a permit made people more intent on reaching the summit with their one chance, despite the risks.
“I think it’s good to limit how many people are up there, because it’s obviously very dangerous,” said McGlynn, who despite heavy rain and hail climbed to the start of the cables with her mother to behold Half Dome from below. “But they really do nothing to disincentivize people from doing the climb in bad weather.”
The park doesn’t issue refunds or allow a Half Dome permit to be transferred to another day, she said, and they don’t prioritize permit holders thwarted by storms in future lotteries.”
