Sure they can, it's Conservative anti-librul virtue signaling.
I'll wager that your concern has much less to do with "people starving" and more to do with "I might be inconvenienced slightly".
I propose that we not deny the problem exists for decades arguing about exactly when the bad thing will happen because it will hurt fossil fuel companies' obscene profits . And not avoid taking actual steps to avoid the bad thing entirely because the profiteers will be dead before the bad thing happens.
FTFY
He would still be arrested and charged for murder.
Not to mention that just because they'd let him get away with murder doesn't mean that his dupes wouldn't want to turn away from him if they found out that he's not "one of us" but rather the same kind of rich asshole who dumps all over them they tried to "stick it to" by voting for him.
Remember that a lot of his voters are the conservative type that go "USA! USA!" at every possible occasion. If they found out that he pretty much craps on the USA and would gladly sell the country down the river if there's a dime in it for him, I ain't so sure that they'd easily forgive that. Murder, ok, who gives a fuck about that, but the country?
Fake news, obviously.
confiscate your gizmos and lock them up next to the Ark of the Convenient to be thrown out in 50 years.
Ark of the Convenient? Is that the smaller, lighter version of the Ark of the Covenant?
What we heard during the pandemic was that Covid deaths were being overreported, probably because hospitals were getting government reimbursement for Covid cases. Every death that occurred was attributed to Covid if the victim sneezed before dying, no matter what additional factors were in play. Now people are saying that the Covid death count is too low. How do we decide what to believe?
Believe nothing that you hear, and half of what you see. Without evidence such claims cannot be trusted.
The way I figure it, there was pressure from both sides: some overreporting due to aforementioned reimbursement, and some underreporting for political purposes (it's a hoax! it's nothing!, etc). It is my suspicion that the higher pressure came from the underreporting group, so it sounds plausible that COVID deaths were underreported overall.

Off course, but now the CDC is admitting it happening due to the vaccines:

Trump is being treated differently than Biden by the Justice Department.
The most important reason for that is that one of them called the appropriate authority and returned the documents as soon as it was discovered that they had possession of said documents, while the other went to great lengths to try and keep possession of them. (AKA willful retention, which is exactly why he's being prosecuted)
In other words: Biden cooperated; Trump did not. You will also notice that Pence was in the same boat as Joe and Don, but is being treated the same as Joe, because he also cooperated.
Not to mention his recent comments about encouraging Russia to "do whatever the hell they want" to NATO countries that he feels aren't pulling their weight.
The Orange Asshole is one to talk about paying his way. Rules for thee, but not for me!
Do a little googling....start with terms Kamala Harris and Willie Brown....and go from there.
Piss off! It's YOUR job to back your claims. I got better things to do than fact check RWNJ fiction.
I've told Microsoft Edge "No" so many times, she still invades my personal space and repetitively asked for the same thing. I'm starting to think it's time to break up.
Time to start an affair with Firefox...
I've been in a committed relationship with Firefox for many years.
Nope - the work has to be valuable.
I could "work" all week digging a swimming pool with a soup spoon; provided your goal is a pool and not some perverted form of entertainment, should you pay me a living wage to do that?
Ultimately the labor has to be valued. You can't just 'declare' 40 hours worked equals some - minimum wage, because the ultimate outcome there is always going to be displace that labor with capital. That always ultimately leaves some behind even if the economy expands.
Using a backhoe instead of a spoon means not just that you need few guys, which might be offset by the building of more pools, but it means certain people incapable of operating the equipment can't even bid on the work anymore.
So digging a hole for a new swimming pool is not valuable? Since when will someone *not* charge me for digging a hole for a swimming pool? If I'm going to dig a hole for you and you insist upon me doing it with a soup spoon you can be certain that I will be billing by the hour, with at least half up front.
Just because *you* don't think it's "valuable" doesn't mean it shouldn't be paid for.
I'm just pointing out the flaws in the "just pay everyone more" argument.
Right, because "don't give raises to anyone while prices keep going up anyway" is working SO well.
According to the RWNJs tRump is the 2nd coming of Christ (actually much closer to the anti-christ but whatever). What's your point?
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
