I honestly don’t get it. Why do prices have to go up even if wages don’t? It seems like some people say that some kind of inflation is absolutely necessary no matter what.

dragonflyteaparty ,

There must always be as much profit as possible no matter who suffers*

People will stop consuming meat if dunno. meatpacking plants are full of COVID19 sickness and no one packs any meat.

That’s not about prices being too high. It’s about people being too sick to do the work…

“I did thousands of ultrasounds on animals, determining pregnancy and that sort of thing” Kitchens ascertained. “I think I know mammalian fetal development better than probably anyone here. And in my mind, there’s absolutely no question that’s a life.”

Wtaf. I guess being a vet made this guy god and let him decide that pregnancy is no longer dangerous and never could need to be ended for any reason whatsoever. 🙄

Not saying you haven’t, but I’ve never once heard a woman afraid of men creeping on women in the bathroom. But I’m curious, aside from someone outside the bathroom doors either checking genitals or birth certificates, how exactly would enforcement of a bathroom bill work?

dragonflyteaparty ,

I’m a woman and I don’t care. I’ve been in the bathroom with men before and even had a nice conversation with them. Do I not exist? Who gave you the rights to speak on behalf of all women everywhere?

dragonflyteaparty ,

If it’s so easy to find, then why don’t you tell me? Or can you not find it?

Why would you think they do from that comment chain? If the OP of the chain wants to say she’s getting paid off, they should have proof. As it is, the word likely is doing a hell of a lot of heavy lifting there while at the same time influencing people’s ideas on how our politicians vote. That has nothing to do whatsoever with your question which only serves to tell people if you want actual proof of bribery, then you must agree with the not having the law that would have helped people.

Would we need more homes if private companies didn’t buy so many single family homes?

dragonflyteaparty ,

But that doesn’t prove that Biden didn’t want to send checks at all. You answered a different question.

dragonflyteaparty , (edited )

No, it’s some guy gives you $6.

I say I’m going to give you $20.

When it comes time to give you the money later, a third party says no.

I give you the $14 that I can give you.

You ignore that the third party got in the way and you told me it’s my fault.

dragonflyteaparty ,

But don’t forget it’s all Biden’s fault. Especially in the UK.

dragonflyteaparty ,

So you ignore the question?

dragonflyteaparty ,

So you simply think they can starve however many civilians they want, most of whom are children, because it hurts Hamas?

Why do these companies need a contract?

Tech CEO Forced Assistant to Sign 'Sex Slave' Contract, and Tormented Her With Sadomasochistic Bondage, Lawsuit Alleges (themessenger.com)

A former Bay Area tech CEO was fired earlier this year after allegedly enslaving, torturing, and sexually abusing his assistant. He claims the pair had a consensual relationship that people would “celebrate” if it were fictitious....

dragonflyteaparty ,

So any time a contract is signed it’s never coerced or forced in any way? Looks like you figured out abuse. Just make them sign a contract and you’re scott free.

dragonflyteaparty ,

This is entirely based on a quote of him saying they were dating. Did she coberate that? Did anyone else? Is there a known history of their relationship or just this guy saying it exists?

You know what would actually put a dent in illegal immigration? Fixing their country that we broke. They come here because being undocumented and working under the table with potentially dangerous conditions is better than their home country. Maybe we shouldn’t have destabilized so many democracies in South America.

dragonflyteaparty ,

I’ll never get articles like this. First off, Biden, specifically, is the one creating a price war? Huh, only him. No one else is engaged in any way, shape, or form.

Second, oh, he’s only doing it because of the election. How do you know that? What proof do you have other than timing? Did you read his mind? That’s a guess at best.

Third, why does the president always get all the blame or all the praise no matter what? We don’t have a dictatorship (however much some people want us to). This has always seemed to be such bullshit to me. I hate how people act like the president is to blame for every single bad thing that ever happens that’s even tangentially related to the government and given all the praise when other parts of the government did things that the president has nothing to do with.

Four, there’s so much bias on this article that basically just says “Biden bad even though he’s trying to help. Doesn’t matter. He’s still bad.”

dragonflyteaparty ,

I don’t know either, but it’s absolute bullshit. As far as I know, unemployment only counts only those who are looking for work, but can’t find it. What about those unemployed, want to be employed, couldn’t find a job, and gave up?

dragonflyteaparty ,

I agree completely. 1/5 children are food insecure in my area. 20%. That’s insane. We are a wealthy country and I’m in a major metropolitan area and yet, 20% of kids don’t know where their next meal is coming from.

dragonflyteaparty ,

This is actually really cool. I have no idea about any of it, but I remember watching a documentary a long time ago that said certain mathematical patterns repeat all over nature. What you said seems similar to that.

dragonflyteaparty ,

You and me both. I love documentaries and when I get on a space kick, I think about this a lot. What did it look like? What’s nothing? My brain can’t fathom literally nothing. It had to be some sort of something. Almost makes me want to say that the universe does have a creator, but in that case, where’d the creator come from? (My favorite creation myth is that the Goddess danced and galaxies spun off on her dress. Makes as much sense as any of the others.)

It’s not Biden’s fault unless you think the leaders of several other countries follow his directive too.

Kentucky woman sues state over abortion ban so she can terminate her pregnancy (www.kentucky.com)

A Kentucky woman Friday filed an emergency class-action lawsuit, asking a Jefferson County judge to allow her to terminate her pregnancy. It’s the first lawsuit of its kind in Kentucky since the state banned nearly all abortions in 2022 and one of the only times nationwide since before Roe v. Wade in 1973 that an adult woman...

dragonflyteaparty ,

What baby?

dragonflyteaparty ,

They were arguing against the term “originalist”. Guess you missed that bit.

dragonflyteaparty ,

You’re deliberately misunderstanding. You are conflating choice with people wanting the law to be a specific way. You don’t want an abortion? Don’t have one. That has nothing to do with me. My potential abortion has nothing to do with you. Once you decide to make it illegal for me to have an abortion, that is taking away all choice. The law allowing for either/or is not making a choice on your ability to not have an abortion; that doesn’t take away from you. You still get to decide to not have one.

dragonflyteaparty ,

Or you just think it’s fine to force people to medical events they don’t want.

dragonflyteaparty ,

This is so messed up. The fetus has trisomy 18 and will likely die hours to days after birth, but they don’t care about that or the mother’s anguish knowing she’s carrying a doomed fetus. What pieces of shit.

dragonflyteaparty ,

We still gotta try.

dragonflyteaparty ,

Huh, I didn’t know that Ukraine was trying to take over Russia and that Russia was in danger of not existing anymore.

dragonflyteaparty ,

Oh, so you checked up with every person who said they’d move and you personally know that they didn’t?

dragonflyteaparty ,

What would fix a lot of this would be a mechanism where the people could vote to remove someone from a federal position

A vote of no confidence and we get to reelect Congress?

Term limits would help too.

Term limits only help when you make politics about the issues rather than who has the most money to get noticed. Make the term limits too short and all you do is give it to the people with the most money considering our politicians currently spend half their time fund raising for their next election.

democratic process has failed us

This isn’t the fault of the democratic process, but allowing money to be speech, companies to be people, and the oligarchy to take over.

All of these links say yes, it’s a law that the sale and production of synthetic meat is banned in Italy.

Because it’s a natural consequence of high education, lack of benefit for having a lot of kids, and our overall population having gotten too high.

dragonflyteaparty ,

Or you know… You like children, want to continue the species, and have the biological drive to procreate.

dragonflyteaparty ,

You are correct. Most of the world is experiencing price gouging and inflation.

Human rights abuses, but it’s the US so they get to do what they want.

Some Republicans Were Willing to Compromise on Abortion Ban Exceptions. Activists Made Sure They Didn’t. (www.propublica.org)

“With the current law in place, I will tell you, I wake up fearful of my pregnancy and what it would mean for my children, my husband and my parents if something happened to me and the doctor cannot perform lifesaving measures,” she told her fellow lawmakers last February, her voice faltering as tears threatened....

dragonflyteaparty ,

And this is also why certain groups are trying to say it’s not an abortion if the procedure is done for medical reasons and trying to say that no pregnancy condition is ever treated with abortion. They’re trying to change the definition of what abortion is to continue to take rights away from people.

dragonflyteaparty ,

I’m so confused. What is this actually in response to? It feels like you’re responding to a different comment rather than OP.

dragonflyteaparty ,

It’s the fact that it had to be removed… And that there are plenty of people in government, including the speaker of the house, who actually want it to be illegal to be gay.

dragonflyteaparty ,

Absolutely, so you can take your own advice and go live with the rest of the bigots.

dragonflyteaparty ,

Looks like I’m buying Fruit Loops. 😝

dragonflyteaparty ,

Of course my breathing is all I can think about now.
