This is absolutely how he should be handled from the start. A lot of people dismissed him "because he is an idiot" and that enabled him to cause damage to our country.
The cost of childcare is absolutely insane. My wife is staying at home. She is looking for something part time to get some extra cash.
She got a position at a day care
Our child goes to the top of the list since she’s employed there
We do not get a discount on child care with her working there
Her monthly pay will be ~1100
Our monthly cost to put our daughter there will be $2000
It costs more for my wife to work than it would to be stay at home.
And it’s mind boggling to me that there are so many great solutions that have been in use for decades in other developed countries, but the US refuses to take any cues, because that’s “socialism” or whatever. It’s tiresome.
Lemme whip out my tiniest violin to express my sympathies for the generation that completely fucked over our entire species with their selfish choices.
Man I'm on my magical journey to become the most cynical person who ever lived myself but c'mon. There are better reasons to hate someone than their age like for example their weight, fashion choice, how they sound or how much they're into mechanical keyboards.
Those goddamned keyboards. All I hear in this house is the constant clacking and tapping drowning out every goddamned thought I ever hoped to have. I can’t get through a single episode of Bonanza without the incessant claxon of feckless tip-tappery. Fuck those goddamned things!
It’s fun to trash the whole post-war generation, but we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that they were just as victimized by class warfare as we are. They benefited from the economic boom and were then lulled by their own masters into believing it was sustainable and things would be just as good for their own kids and grandkids. They were lied to too.
Never forget that the real enemy isn’t any one group except for the oligarchs and leeches at the top of the economic ladder. We shouldn’t focus our ire on those people in between us and the top. They’re not the ones controlling the taps on the river of shit flowing down.
Sympathy for what? This is about women being able to divorce their husbands now and support themselves, so it’s happening later in life for a generation that got married early and didn’t really have this option to separate cleanly.
If anything this is a good thing. It means women aren’t* trapped in marriages with shitty men forever. I don’t care what you think about any specific generation, that’s a good trend for everyone.
The stigma on divorce is significantly reduced now from what it was even like 20-30 years ago. It’s also easier for women to support themselves in general on top of being more normalized.
Also, boomers are more like 59-77 now. Did YOU forget time was a thing?
You can’t paint such huge populations with a single paint brush, and even saying “generally” doesn’t cover your complete lack of empathy. Many or even most of those 16 million made choices that they thought were right at the time and tried to live good lives. You think these are the people that emptied pensions and raised prices and drilled the oil despite scientific warnings?
Sure, statically some of them did. But most of them did not. Most of them worked hard, harder than our generation, and provided for their families.
Having that much hostility for an entire population is no way to live your life.
It’s also a distraction from the real real villains who hollowed out the middle class and funneled every drop of wealth into their own pockets. They’re laughing from their super yachts whenever the middle classes bicker.
You ever notice how easy it is to take a brush and cover an entire population segment with a certain view? Ever consider how racism and stereotypes become prevalent?
I’m not a part of that generation, but if you think it was any different than today, you’re wrong. Power was weilded by rich corporations and government officials who were doing their bidding. It just wasn’t as blatant.
Besides writing a snarky post, what will you tell the future generation you did to stop the current situation? Exactly…
The prosecutors said Trump’s post raised concerns that he might improperly share evidence in the case on his social media account and they urged that he be ordered to keep any evidence prosecutors turn over to his defense team from public view.
He probably gives a flying fuck about this. He is already in deep shit creek, and any chance to rally his fans is more important than just another half inch of extra mud he is sticking in. Because if those morons vote him back into the white house, the first thing will be to pardon himself from all the crimes he did, and retaliate against the juridical system with prejudice.
The constitutional qualifications for being president are being a natural-born U.S. citizen, a resident for at least 14 years and over the age of 35. A person can be disqualified by conviction in a Senate impeachment trial, but a criminal conviction does not affect eligibility.
Nah, that’s close to Trump Tower, isn’t it? I drove next to something with his name on it when we passed through Las Vegas from California to Minnesota.
If he didn’t cause any escalation and wasn’t promoting that kind of behavior then I don’t understand how Kai had any involvement in a “riot”; I also think that needing a permit for every little thing is a bit absurd. I’m not really a fan of him, but none of this really seems like his fault
This is exactly why people need to get a permit for shit like this. The permit requirement isn’t to filter who gets to assemble; it’s so that city services can divert resources to the locations of such assembly so that this thing exactly wouldn’t happen.
More police on a crowd control capacity. Traffic divertion so that the roads won’t get back up. Emergency vehicles and services will be made aware so they can reroute for any calls they get during this time away from crowds.
Come on, guys. I don’t have a background in any sort of civil services and I could think of all this just from the top of my head.
But in this case they had no reason to think their permit might be denied - although that permit should be denied if the police can’t assign officers to crowd control; it should be denied if the road is a major artery for a nearby hospital etc. - the point is you get a permit to start a conversation and get to know if the assembly is a worthwhile idea.
It’s awesome how their “Strong Christian Heterosexual Marriages” they were do paranoid to defend fell apart as soon as their wives had to put up with them in person. Having had to deal with them in the workforce my whole life, I actually feel bad for their wives.
Boomers delusion is incredible, Florida is just going to turn into a living hell.
Who holds the burden of proof, though? Will the doctor have to prove that his choice was done in good faith to claim that his procedure was lawful, or will a prosecution have to prove bad fath? It might seem like semantics, but I bet a lot of doctors will be risk averse if they hold the burden of proof.
Regardless this seems like it will just be used by the state/wealthy organizations to drag doctors through court until they’re out of money. If I were a doctor in Texas I still wouldn’t even consider an abortion for fear of losing everything.
Does the prosecution hold the burden of proof? Yes
Can a defense attorney technically sit there and say nothing during the entire trial? Well technically yes. Because the burden of proof is on the prosecution.
But the reality is the prosecution can make their evidence state anything they want. That exact quote comes from an attorney that I know personally. Evidence can always be made to say whatever you want in a court case.
So the reality is prosecution they lay out their burden of proof or their quote unquote evidence, another defense have to be able to prove that the prosecution is wrong. OK technically they don’t prove anything they just have to put calls in the other side story. But I say tomato tomatoe. At the end of the day it’s basically the same thing. The doctor is basically going to have to demonstrate why they did what they did. And because there are not clear set rules and clear set guidelines, the end result is a lot of doctors won’t do it.
There is a such a thing as an affirmative defense, though. An affirmative defense allows a person to commit an act that would otherwise be illegal under certain circumstances. However, as the name implies, an affirmative defense has to be argued by the defense. The burden is on the defense to prove that they acted under the circumstances permitted.
Consider murder, for instance. Self-defense is usually an affirmative defense. The prosecutor's only burden is to prove that you killed someone. You have to demonstrate that you were acting in self defense in order to avoid the guilty verdict for murder.
So @vettnerk is asking a good question: will it be assumed that the doctor acted in good faith, or bad faith? Does the defense have to justify the abortion, or does the prosecutor have to demonstrate that it wasn't necessary?
And it's not just the doctors. Hospitals are businesses that are not interested in taking on financial and legal risk. Even if a doctor is willing, they won't be able to, if they don't have a hospital facility that will allow it
There would be the need to set up liability insurance and the procedures and premiums would just be too expensive compared to other states that won't have those issues or hindrances.
It would be like telling you had to spend $300 on a fast food burger, when the other states only charge $10 - $15.
The current Texas law puts the burden on doctors; they have to PROVE that an abortion to save life of the mother was the ONLY option. Doctors do not want to risk jail time and a trial over this, so many necessary abortions were held back, endangering the mother. The court notes this which is why the ruling was issued. Texas AG is denying this reality and claiming the women are being hysterical.
Some older people initiating divorces feel they’ve simply drifted too far apart from their spouses, while some have suffered abuse or discovered shocking transgressions, Myres says. All of them – including some clients in their 80s – feel like any years of life they have left are too precious to spend with the wrong person.
My completely baseless take: they were fine making the “I hate by husband/wife” jokes while working full time; but once retired and spending time together, they realize they actually really do not like each other.
No, it’s that in the 2020s divorce is far more acceptable and because women are more capable of supporting themselves now, so they’re not trapped in their marriages.
What you’re describing has always been happening. For every generation. It’s just that nowadays retired boomer women aren’t shackled to their husband for the rest of their life.
Yet another case of the old and conservative reaping the benefits of the progress others have been making.
He got so fucked over by Roger stone who is so Mob.
America’s dead.
The mob never went away they just became politicians and learned how to hide in plain site. Like every other us “achievement” JFK breaking down the mob was all for image to push more false security to a country of blissfully ignorant consumers.
Puts on a bigger tinfoil hat…
Now the Kennedy’s are under mob control and next in line as the mobs puppet is Robert.
They gotta work carefully to make it look like these poor mailable maga types are making a movement and take any criminal blame, while they (the mafia) move deeper into the government.
