Samvega , in Oil firms and dark money fund push by Republican states to block climate laws

Scene: the Republican National Convention.

“Read my lips: SATANIC PAEDOPHILES IN PIZZA PARLOURS MADE THIS HAPPEN! God would never harm us, we’re His children.”

Audience cheers. Firestorms rage. The roof is burning.

“Dirty Dems are telling us that fire is bad. Well, you think for yourself. Is fire woke? Does fire turns kids gay?”

One lone audience member shouts ‘but fire does kill people’. Those around him beat him to death with their “GLOBAL WARMING LIES” signs.

JohnDClay , in Undocumented workers contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes.

Total income tax revenue is 2T, so 100B is about 5%. Looks like there might be about 11M undocumented workers, which makes up 3% of the 333M population. That might indicate that undocumented workers pay about 50% more in taxes.

TachyonTele , in Undocumented workers contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes.

I always assumed that undocumented workers were paid ‘under the table’. But it makes sense to have them/some be on payroll for the employer. Can’t be having zero people on payroll when there’s obviously employees.

Another notch on the board against all the idiots that think immigrants are a threat to a country built by immigrants.

Samvega ,

If I had infinite cosmic powers, I’d remove immigrants from countries which hate immigrants for a month. They’d go to some kind of pleasant dimension where all their needs were met, like a really nice holiday. And, back in our world, everything which immigrants work hard to achieve while getting little respect for it wouldn’t be happening, and it would be a shitshow.

And then I would make all the people that didn’t learn to stop being fuckknuckles from that experience live in their own bellybutton for a month.

StrawberryPigtails ,

Make it three months. It would take at least that long for the loss of their labor to start being felt across the board. Undocumented immigrants are vital in some of the damnest places and their absence would not e particularly noticeable at first.

I remember watching A Day Without a Mexican when it came out. Low budget, but it's a similar idea to yours, except a magical fog surrounded California 🤷🏼‍♂️

Samvega , in RFK Jr. expected to drop out of race by end of week, plans to endorse Trump: Sources

Imagine giving up on being President to endorse a convicted felon.

otp ,

Well, be was never going to win

pulaskiwasright ,

They had hoped he would siphon “anyone but Trump” voters off of Biden. But now they’re afraid he’ll siphon votes off of Trump and assume that no one who would vote for Harris would vote for RFK

Something he and Nikki Haley have in common. Trump was happy to have her, despite earlier saying anyone who voted for her was permanently banned from MAGA, so really it’s the perfect match.

Zaktor , in DNC Delegate Attacked for Gaza Protest Banner Supports Harris

Asked about Ahmad’s treatment on Monday night, Berry, the DNC political director, said the party unequivocally condemns physical violence.

“It’s unacceptable,” she said. “We as a party, our values are of diversity of thought and opinion. We never condone any type of physical attacks on anybody for any reason.”

This was all caught on camera, right? The perpetrators of the violence should be kicked out of the convention. Like they’d do if one of them just randomly attacked another delegate.

If he doesn’t Trump loses very likely so it happens.

ineffable , in Mother arrested in Texas after baby dies in hot car
AstridWipenaugh ,

Yes, negligence resulting in the death of a person that is unable to care for themselves is a crime. “I forgot, sorry” is an acceptable answer when you didn’t get something on the grocery list. It doesn’t suffice when someone’s life is in your hands.

GBU_28 ,

No one is saying you are free to go. It certainly doesn’t suffice.

It’s not an excuse, it’s an explanation. It can happen to anyone.

ramirezmike ,

did you read that article?

AstridWipenaugh ,

Nope, I don’t have a paid subscription.

ramirezmike ,

it’s a really long article that goes into depth on the issue with a lot of anecdotes and research. The gist of it is though that while these people have committed negligence, it happens to people who are otherwise not negligent. It can really happen to anyone, all it takes is some stress or unexpected plans changing.

People should be aware of how easy it can happen to anyone and not pass it off as just bad parents getting what they deserve.

unexpected plans changing.

This is the biggest one I’ve seen.

“Oh X needs to be at Y today so the person who usually takes them to daycare is unavailable, can you take them?”

And then you’re on autopilot, going to work like you do every day. Your body can be trained to do certain things automatically, with basically no mental input on your side. You never take the kid to daycare because your schedule. Then the ONE DAY that your routine changes… It’s one of the most important things you need to keep in mind.

Ever pulled your car into a spot and thought to yourself “wait I don’t remember stopping at any lights HOLY SHIT DID I JUST RUN EVERY RED” but the truth is, no. You did not. Either they are so routine to stop at that you don’t notice on autopilot, or there WERE no reds. You are not a bad or negligent driver. You were on autopilot.

Autopilot doesn’t understand change.

Apytele ,

One of our orderlies said he thought I was a dick until he realized I only have one social personality and everybody gets the exact same treatment whether it’s my bosses boss or my homeless psych patient with charges. I have pretty much 0 grasp on social cues, but I will absolutely wipe your ass if I can see that you genuinely need it. It was one of the better compliments I’ve ever gotten and honestly I think one of the biggest reasons I get along with most of my patients better than people who can’t understand that mindset.

jordanlund , in Mother arrested in Texas after baby dies in hot car
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t get how this keeps happening. Kids, dogs, adults, nobody should be left in a hot car. It’s not a freakin’ mystery, it happens all the time!

Kimano ,

It keeps happening because people are human and make mistakes.

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Best solution I heard to this is to take something you’ll need… wallet, keys, phone, and stick it in the car seat with the baby.

No forgetting.

kandoh ,

There should be a shelf on the hood of the car where you can put the baby carrier so you never take your eyes off the baby

Did any of the main news channels in the US even cover this panel? I haven’t seen any. The media and online punditry seem far more happy to obsess over Hamas flag waving protesters outside than to listen to experienced doctors relay the horrors they saw in Gaza.
