Looks in the refrigerator. Look an incandescent bulb! Oven? Incandescent! Flashlight? Incandescent! Bathroom? Incandescent (halogen). Old lamp new bulb? High efficiency incandescent! Oh and then there are all of the exemptions to the higher (not high) efficiency standards like the one for bulbs with a left handed thread.
Incandescent lights were never banned, the efficiency standards were raised for a set of commonly used household lights and that was it.
This even makes sense in context of the article, my wife doesn’t work because it makes no sense to go to work and dump all the money she’d make into child care.
I really hope "influencer" is a temporal addition to our society, dies soon, and is remembered in the future as a particularly ridiculous aspect of the early 21st century.
He keeps digging, yet somehow he’s still outside the hole. I know the prosecutor wants to make sure they get everything right, but this man is embarrassing the entire country, and making a joke of it’s institutions.
I am 100% convinced that he thinks pushing the envelope as far as possible thought out this will stall the process, cause conflict, and make the court look like it has a vendetta against him. He’s going to do this most with NY, DC, and GA case, and not as much in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida case because his entire argument in those other cases is that the courts themselves are trying to silence him. And who knows. It might work. It’s worked for him well in the past.
His only way out of this is to stall, stall, stall, and win the election by making himself look like the victim to his core supporters and few dumb fuck centrists in swing states.
And it’s working. You’ll be seeing influential people who were critical of trump come out and say “I hate trump but it’s obvious he’s being attacked simply because they hate him.” These people will be paid millions by his campaign. People like Joe Rogan etc. will “gradually” become full on trump supporters with the narrative they they still don’t like trump but hate what the DOJ is doing more and paint trump as a future political prisoner.
The only way out of this is a huge effort to get people to vote. They’re counting on apathy and muddy waters.
As often as he projects… i’m kind of wondering if he’s had people murdered… like the time he accused Joe Scarborough of murdering his intern… i remember thinking holy shit… start searching trump properties for buried bodies… i mean shit he buried his ex wife on a golf course.
I mean he wouldnt do it himself. He’d hire a hitman. Which then he’d short the hitman on paying him. Its the trump way to never pay the ending fees on a contract. I dont think he himself has had a direct hand with murder. But I 100% believe he’s a child rapist. He talked fondly of jeffrey epstein, and went to his parties, and commented himself on the young girls at the parties.
They’re talking about Katie Johnson on this list. It was strongly rumored at the time that she dropped it because she and her family got death threats.
Some of the things in her story don’t really add up, particularly the bit about it being in Epstein’s apartment, and “identifying him” on TV years later on television. Accusations like this that wind up being false are extremely, EXTREMELY common.
Also, the chances of her knowing Epstein off hand but not Trump especially in 1994 are incredibly low. Epstein was a nobody in 1994, no chance were those two friends at the time.
Not saying it didn’t happen, but why would trump be hanging out in Epstein’s raggedy ass apartment to begin with?
Lol. Lmao. Was that an attempt at comedy? Not about to get into this conversation. If you think I’m defending trump then there has to be some kind of barrier between us. I’m not defending trump, I’m attacking the accusations against him that were thrown by people who only wanted to get Hillary in office.
You realize he’s being investigated right now, nothing like this has come out and no charges related to this have been pressed since the investigations began.
I vehemently hate politicians, but there are only two things worse in a political position of power than that: tyrants and businessmen.
Yes, Epstein was “not a nobody” in 1994, but he sure as shit was not famous as fuck either, especially compared to trump at the time. He didn’t have an endless amount of wealth in 1994, try 1996. The fact that her case was one of the few that were ever dismissed are also telling considering the fact that Epstein still ended up going to prison for the rest of his (rather short) life. Epstein was a filthy evil piece of shit, but that would have been the case even if he was not an acting pedophile.
Let’s shift over to the case itself because that’s the main point here, not Epstein.
Personally, I think her case was a ploy set up to attack Trump while he was running for office, and she lumped in Epstein because of his several other charges coming on throughout that time period. The fact that it conveniently came at a time where she “recognized trump” over twenty years later but knew Epstein offhand is a bit suspicious don’t you think? Wouldn’t it have been the latter? And considering the fact that Epstein had been receiving charges since 2005, why would she wait until 2016 specifically to charge Epstein (and trump along with him)? At a surface level, it really didn’t seem like this case was about Epstein so much as it was Trump.
Don’t confuse what I’m saying with defending Trump. I’m playing devil’s advocate because truthfully both parties are evil, and every election there are baseless claims thrown out like this because both are willing to say anything and everything to try and get their candidate elected, Trump included.
No, worse its witness intimidation. Essentially tampering “you should x” intimidation “I’ll do x” one effects current witnesses while the other implies they’ll go after current and potential witnesses.
…why does the U.S. need more workers in the first place? With real wages being largely stagnant over the last four decades, who is producing what for whom?
The US, like most other developed countries, needs a constant influx of workers because the population is getting older on average. Boomers will soon be completely out of the labor market, and the smaller, younger generations will not be able to sustain the economy and society without extra hands.
It’s times like this that I just want to stare at the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor, and just contemplate what kind of policy changes could possibly solve our upcoming labor shortage?
If only Lady Liberty could speak, she might have some ideas. I guess I will never know.

Edit: I’m also a big fan of higher wages. And I suspect US immigration levels won’t bounce back quite as high with a ploicy change, after years of racism in our news. We’re going to feel that consequence pretty strongly, I suspect.
It’s mainly because of the infinite growth paradigm outpacing the rate of population growth. If only investors had realistic goals, we could avoid all this.
Next up will be these tech companies offering company script to buy things at the company store while paying that rent to the company room. You know, to help transition into the new indentured working environment.
It’s honestly baffling to me that big business isn’t making a major push for universal healthcare so they don’t have to worry about health plans anymore.
Bigger the company = easier it is to have this settled. If you have this settled you can attract and retain talent that smaller companies can’t. Besides, you can just take it out of their salaries.
Good, we don’t need to destroy the world more than we already have, especially when it would mean fucking over Native Americans again. But the fact that we have to do this in order to protect people and the planet is ridiculous. It shouldn’t be an idealism for human lives to matter more than corporate profits.
I still am baffled at how some people like this become so massively famous. They’re not interesting, they don’t do anything interesting, and somehow they get famous for ‘being famous’. Every time I see Cenat streaming on Twitch it’s something incredibly boring and stupid and yet 70,000 people are watching. What the actual fuck?
It’s the same reason we got all those let’s play screaming youtubers in the 2010s.
They appeal to much younger and more impressionable demographic of young teens and children that are easily entertained through what most adults would probably label as annoying and very shallow content.
I wonder if you can no longer breastfeed while on this drug. I also hope there really is no terrible health risk that gets found once it starts being used. Drug companies don’t have the best track record for helping mothers out…
