“It went from judges getting pizzas, to then judges’ children getting pizzas, to then judges getting pizzas or their children getting pizzas that they didn’t order in my murdered son’s name,” Salas said. [...] “We know the first is, ‘I know where you live.’ Second is, ‘We know where your children live.’ And the third now is, ‘Do you want to end up like Judge Salas? Do you want to end up like Daniel?’”
On Tuesday, Fetterman said that the New York magazine article was built on “one source” with “a couple anonymous sources,” describing it as a “hit piece from a very left publication.”
Countdown to Fetterman switching parties in 3 .... 2 ....
"I thought I was voting for pro-business policies and small, targeted, and incremental tariffs that would encourage the production of strategic industries to return to the Americas," Fuller said, adding that this is what happened under Trump's previous term.
Ah, so you weren't paying attention during the first term, or you have amnesia ..
Or, you know high prices from low quality, slow food. I was fine paying cheap prices for food that was low quality and cheap, but I'm not paying chain restaurant prices for low quality, slow food.
There was a video on ?imgur? in the past couple days, I didn't know if it was real. Guy says he was a truck driver and had stopped at a weigh station. He said they asked if he could read and write English; he said yes. They gave him a piece of paper to read, which he did; they then told him to write those words down on another piece of paper, which was filled with identical words in various handwritings. He said he saw a bunch of people off to the side in handcuffs, and said that if you couldn't speak or write English, you had to pay a $5000 "fine" on the spot, and that if you couldn't pay, you were arrested on the spot and your driving license immediately suspended. There was some condition (I don't remember what it was) where the trucking company might also have to pay a $10000 "fine".
The comments discussion pointed out that, if they had had $5000 to pay the "fine", it likely would've been taken in civil forfeiture. There was also a robust discussion on whether this was real or not, trying to find other sources, which were slim and primarily referenced questionable sources.
Edit: found the video, which apparently originated on Xitter, and was originally posted last month (I only saw it a day or so ago).
agriculture is facing another looming financial challenge with the recently announced SHIPS Act [...] with Chinese-made vessels calling U.S. ports to be charged port fees of upwards of $1.5 million starting in the fall.
It's not very widespread so that risk is low - there's literally like 400 cases right now, in a nation of 340,000,000. But if you do happen to run across someone infectious, there's a pretty good chance of catching it. There's really no downside to getting a booster, so I'd say yes to the booster.
Something else to consider - and I don't know how the vaccines played out in your country - I've that in the US, everyone born in or before 1957 is presumed to be immune. Americans vaccinated between 1957 and ?1969? should get a booster because the vaccine the US was using at the time was less effective. And they're recommending that Americans vaccinated before 1990 consider getting a booster, because they had thought that one shot provided lifetime immunity, but it turns out that you needed a second shot as well. So if the vaccination program where you lived might have had one of those issues, you might consider a booster as well.
Yeah, we know :( No one is going to risk buying something when the price could more than double depending solely on what date the ship happens to reach port.
The vast majority of offers are said to come from employees at the Federal Aviation Administration. [...] A department spokesperson told Politico [...] that employees who perform critical safety work are exempt. “Our teams are layered with redundancies to ensure efficiency initiatives will not compromise safety,”
Really? Cause that's really not the image they've been projecting.
"It feels like it’s intended to tell us we’re being dramatic or that we’re not professional enough to go through turmoil and remain detached and completely calm. It feels out of touch,” an anonymous employee said
Ri-ight. Because when I think of hysterical federal employees, the first group that comes to my mind is the FAA....
