If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • I personally would not consider superglue harmful enough to worry about plants seeping enough of it to affect the health of me eating the plant, and it's not food grade. I've used it to fix cracked humidifier reservoirs in a greenhouse for example. That being said, most epoxy resin dries food grade. I don't think you'd have to search hard for a very well performing Resin with food grade search term swapped with dining surface or some frequent use that requires food grade.

  • Billion dollar contract for GeoGroup. They employ their prisoners for virtually no money, leaning on good behavior for better outcomes that will never come. There are some people who are only still there after lawful orders of removal because their "job" is considered too useful, such as translators. Slavery never left the US, it just got hidden behind bars.

  • Media really stepping on their own dick with this title. Nobody cares about a guy who likes hunting being in the Democratic party, even a little. What they care about is common sense gun legislation, healthcare, skyrocketing price of living, and ruining the planet. All of these come back to corporate greed controlling policy.

  • Samuel Alito’s Son Has Been Quietly Working for Trump’s Treasury Department

  • He's probably not qualified to work in any other admin if he's as braindead as Samuel. Likely not qualified to do much other than whatever sugar daddy company owner gives him a don't touch anything job.

    Jump

  • Utilizing maximum leverage over employers is a union's job. It's how we all get shit like the weekend. Public trust in government dies because priorities aren't in alignment with the interests of the people. If their job can be done just as well without return from home then how does wasting their time, gas, and space on the road speak to good priorities?

  • Speaking from my own community, if the community knows who you are you've basically nearly won. One of our politicians started their career owning a real estate business where they posted their face on every billboard in the area. They were big with the center of commerce crew, but were* also antithetical to the views of a mostly young and highly educated and progressive city. They won anyways, because the opponent wasn't already burned into the minds of everyone who drives around here.

    I do like the idea of smaller meaning that you may actually know the person and have an opportunity to talk to them person to person, I just have a jaded view because of what I've seen happen with human fallacies controlling the results.

  • Sorry for the edit after your post. I think buying races isn't harder when there's more of them, but organizing for them might be. I'd be open to change on that opinion, but eventually wouldn't you hit a point of diminishing budget for a small candidate that they can't afford a single commercial whereas the corporate candidate could afford multiple?

    Edit: Eventually the resolution of targeted ads starts to fail too relative to the district borders.

  • I'm not necessarily sold on the idea that reps of a given state should only be responsible for a very small subsection of people who are likely poorly informed. Just thinking of my own representative, who won against a progressive based entirely on name recognition rather than policy, it seems abundantly clear that money can easily touch all races whereas educated voters and advocacy may not exist in enough districts to be meaningful. Money can, and in quantities above the median income with ease.

    After reading the article, I think there's a inherent assumption that more means harder to gerrymander, but every republican gerrymandering recently released is computer generated. What would prevent them from arguing the districts of densely black areas thinly sliced from urban areas and then expanded out to suburbs is legal? When computer modeling and accurate voter information is supplied the possibilities of gerrymandering are not remotely hampered by increased resolution of the electoral maps. The districting will come to head with the notion that the same district even be contiguous. Do you trust SCOTUS to affirm it needs to be?

  • They're competing with the couch, not just Republicans. Couch sitters basically always have higher standards of Democrats than they do of Republicans. In fact, the entire electorate and media infrastructure have higher standards for Democrats. It's fine to disagree, but I feel like that's just being purposely obtuse for why it's not in the report. Ken Martin and Ken Martin's "friend" fucked this up royally and even liberals are pointing that out. Why the cope?

    Also couldn't let this slip by either: Ken Martin commissioned the report, NOT his predecessors.

  • I would buy that it's just an out of touch loser's opinion, but what kinda screws that up for me is that they didn't even discuss Biden's age or* cognitive issues being a significant factor. Anyone alive and* paying attention during the time, even someone who only watched morning Joe, would have mentioned that.

  • I seriously doubt this was prepared during the time they claim it was. It seems like a bunch of nothing words with a strict no mention of anything the left has been talking about being the issue. It's like what you'd get if you asked a chat bot to prepare an almost 200 page document about why it wasn't any of these things while being careful not to mention any of those things.
