If it was a reasonable balance of risk and payback, then they could get a private loan like everybody else.

The new law (according to the article) still allows the re-sale of tickets, but not for more than the original price.

The courts put the brakes on some of that firing, then Trump and Musk parted ways, mostly because it's impossible for two egos that swollen to fit in the same room for long.

Well right now, abortion has been all but banned in a number of states. Health insurance no longer has to cover birth control (even though it's a cheap way to reduce medical expenses). So it looks like the down side is happening anyway. It's the upside that is MIA.

That's the crazy part, the parents all got the vaccine before entering school because THEIR parents did the right thing.

I rather suspect that it means "valid under the WIPO" treaty.

To be fair, there are lots of negatives about the Chinese approach. And we're so used to the negatives of the US approach that we almost don't see them...but other people do.

As "dominant world power"s go, the US has been quite lenient. This is known as damning with faint praise. OTOH, China shows every sign of being going to be worse...but probably not worse than Britain was.

...officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed to state health departments that the ongoing measles outbreak at the border of Arizona and Utah is a continuation of the explosive outbreak in West Texas...

Why are there still competent people at CDC who are able to do this? Anyone who knows anything about anything, was supposed to have been fired months ago and replaced by incompetent flunkies.

Commander Putin's orders have been very clear about completely disarming all American capability, whether it's in our health systems, military, or infrastructure. Who is the pro-American traitor in our midst, disobeying orders to destroy the USA?

If we're going to disobey Putin's orders, then won't he kill or embarrass our president? That must not be allowed to happen!!

Splitting isn't a perfect solution, but better than what we have now. Lincoln made a mistake, should have let the South go. Sanctions could be used by both Europe and the North half to expire slavery.

If his new partner is okay with Ice Lady, I see no real problem. It's their issue, stop bothering them.

Software-based patents should be tossed, they cause more problems than they solve. It only enriches lawyers and judges.

Canada has troglodytes also. Via the Webtubes they get much of the same fake news MAGA and Q does.

Fucking troglodytes like the "good ol' days", with (preventable) plagues and locusts. Time to split the USA, otherwise these neanderclowns will drag us into their lead-filled trailer park.

Not a big fan of this, but I'm pretty certain they need that money to actually replace all the working parts of the reactor. Only the concrete shell will be reused. They could probably use the same amount of money to fix reactor 2 the same way, they are just not touching it because of history.

Even Dory knew that in 2003, while helping to find Nemo.
