Canada isn’t under the jurisdiction of American law.

His mentor says hillbilly elegy was written to propel him into politics. So I find it hard to believe he wasn’t interested when that was the reason for the book

breetai ,

Vance actually had really good ideas until he went Trump. A mixture of far left and middle right politics. Now you never hear his working class ideas.

It’s hard to imagine this is the guy who said declare war on corporations

breetai ,

If you consider taxing the rich. Unions and attacking companies as far right then sure. He’s always been far right. It sounds like you’ve never read about Vance and that’s why you don’t see the radical change from who he was to supporting Trump.

breetai ,

I think you may be on to something. That may be a better way to describe it.

Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?

It feels like Harris has to run a damn near flawless campaign just to BARELY beat this guy. Yeah you can bring up the current state of the country, but Trump mishandled COVID, there were over 200k deaths, BLM protest and was 2x impeached. And yet, Joe Biden BARELY beat him....

breetai ,

The president isn’t in charge of COVID. States are in charge of COVID. Pandemics are handled by the states with help from the federal government. BLM protest are once again state issues. I’m not sure why so many Americans don’t understand how the government is run. Presidents are not dictators. They are limited by the constitution and laws.

No why is the split so close? Harris isn’t a good candidate. She’s wildly unpopular and has been for years. He policies are horrible and the average American doesn’t want them. They are the opposite of what Americans want.

Biden has always been fairly unpopular. I’ve always thought the guy was an idiot but he isn’t far left. He fairly moderate to Leaning a little right.

We also have a large red/blue divide in this country and presidents are picked by the EC.

Trump is a horrible candidate but things ran well when he was in office. People will remember that.

The short version is we are running two awful candidates and that’s why the elections are close.

breetai ,

They’re just excited the person isn’t half dead.

She wasn’t able to get a nomination through the standard channels. They had to put her in the back because they felt she was damaging Biden approval ratings.

He approval rate is low.

projects.fivethirtyeight.com/…/kamala-harris/

More people disprove than approve.

I proudly voted for Obama Kamala is not Obama. She’s not Clinton. Hell she’s not even a Joe Biden.

breetai ,

Agreed. I have no issues with capitalism but I have a huge issue with monopolies. Just buying out the competition isn’t competing.

breetai ,

I am very much against theft but if you are forced to check yourself out, I consider it wages.

I have no issues with mistakes happening in self check.

breetai ,

Judges have immunity. So the lawsuit won’t go anywhere.

It’s amazing how immunity people in power have

breetai ,

Wealth taxes are unconstitutional in the United States. It would require an amendment to change that.

Capital gains should just be taxed an ordinary income. That would solve a lot of issues such as Medicare, social security, etc.

breetai ,

Not sure who those people are but they don’t seem well versed on the topic.

If you haven’t read the most recent SCOTUS ruling. It foreshadows their views on the topic. SCOTUS determines want is constitutional.

There hs enough case law from scotus to point to wealth taxes as being unconstitutional

breetai ,

It’s his passion project. It’s not “working” when it’s something you love.

breetai ,

He just put an injunction in place which is common. It just means the case has to be decided first.

If he’s accusing them of venue shopping. I suspect he’s going to rule against them.

breetai ,

I’m generally against acquisitions for this reason. So many companies just want to be acquired instead of running a company.

I can’t think of one large acquisition that benefited consumers

breetai ,

Considering they don’t fly. Pretty hard.

breetai ,

Thank you. I was pondering why put foil on door knobs.

breetai ,

Fines are not tax deductible. So no it’s not a cost of doing business.

breetai ,

Really depends on the value of the products sold. The find should be double or triple that to have any impact.

Personally I avoid buying anything made in China. Too much risk if it’s something I’ll touch all the time. Too much lead and chemicals in their products.

breetai ,

Did they make 200 million selling those products ?

breetai ,

On a handful of products? Doubtful.

At least the government gave them a fine which is a step in the right direction. Country of origin is important to me. I buy based on those labels

breetai ,

Write off means write off the books. Otherwise it makes no sense as that the dictionary term for the phrase. You can’t write off a fine. It isn’t “written off”.

Real the whole paragraph. It’s idiotic talk

breetai ,

Well they should pick up a dictionary and learn what the word means.

breetai ,

Used in the context you claim, it’s even more of an idiotic thing to say.

The company is being fined. It’s a real penalty. Since we don’t know how much product was sold, we don’t how punitive it is but damn, when the government gets a win you take it.

breetai ,

I work in medium tech. Since they have to compete for talent. We get the high pay and work life flexibility. It’s much better than large tech. I would never go work for a Microsoft , Amazon or Google. Not worth it.

breetai ,

Fallout four seemed to flat. I loved all the other games. Just not that one.

breetai ,

How weird since they sold it to him. Where do you think they want him to drink it?

breetai ,

Only if that job was remote because of the disability.

Otherwise, no.

breetai ,

Sounds like they didn’t get any complaints either.

breetai ,

My family is southern; everyone has a different name than their birth name. It is either picked or assigned by others.

That Is what I tell people about trans people. Just call them what they want to be called, just as you want to be called what you want to be called. It’s not that hard.
