It is not incorrect to say the economy was doing well, nor is it wrong to say individual purchasing power was not following. “The economy” is not, nor has it ever been, tied to wages. This is a problem, Trump is the opposite of a solution. It’s the equivalent of seeing a bank robbery and nuking the bank.
The people that voted for trump don’t buy EVs tho
Eh, given how many other times cops have been way too lenient with right wing terrorists versus their left wing equivalents(and basically anyone else outwardly left wing but that’s another matter), I’m not sure that earns them any leniency here.
Correct, an officer of the law should be expected to understand safe gun handling and storage practices. Being a cop should elevate the standards you’re held to, not fucking lower them lmao.
people
Without reading the article, one can very safely assume it doesn’t target white people.
unions
Article only says the UAW, which has more retired members than it does active, and a pathetically small percentage of the active automotive workforce.
I’m not super well versed in “healthy union demographics”, but a quick wikipedia perusal says the three largest US unions (National education association, service employee international union, and the american federation of state, county, and municipal employees) have between 2-15% retirees.
Something tells me the UAW is just led by chuds but what do I know?
police excelling at anything other than enforcing a state monopoly on violence
I, too, would love to live in a fantasy world
art AI imitates life imitates AI
Yep - both parents and my only sibling have done it. Thanks, guys, glad I didn’t call this a decade ago.
Not if it gets started further than a month out from the election and doesn’t mysteriously disappear immediately after
Electric motors work by inducing a magnetic field with coils of wire, so I’m sure a strong enough EMP would disrupt it temporarily, but I don’t know if it would meaningfully damage anything after the EMP ceased.
Disclaimer - not an electromagnetic scientist wizard
My understanding is that EMPs are more of a concern for the tiny electronics on computers versus relatively large motors or batteries. So, an electric vehicle is still at risk, but I don’t think it’d be any more at risk than any ICE car that’s all computerized anyways.
Regulations? Being written for good reason? Preposterous.
I hear barotrauma is pretty much instantaneous, hell you could even send me to go work on some undersea cables for a bit and just don’t tell me when my time’s up
I don’t really support death row, but I did always wonder - do they ever ask the prisoners if they have a preference? I feel like I’d take the good ole’ guillotine over asphixiation.
The judges already have the power and legal precedent to do so. The trumplets have already demonstrated zero care about needing either of those things, so I’m really not seeing what you hope to achieve by not using one of the few legal avenues actual consequences could be enacted on the fascists is?
Whatever you let them do, they will. stop complying with fascism.
As always, it’s projection - anecdotally, the only people I have personally known to be abusing government programs have been conservative. That’s more of a quirk of “most people using government programs are poor and uneducated and therefore conservative”, but still.
The funny thing is, that probably makes them an even better imitator of the average twitter user(and person, if we’re honest).
It will never not be fucking hilarious to me that one of the most holier-than-thou textbook american white moderate liberal people I know works at xitter.
If a transmissions company tried to spend money preparing for a disaster like this, their shareholders would sue them into the ground and lobby to make it illegal to acknowledge the existence of the sun.
