And here I thought that Trump and the Republicans won the election, a party and person with a record of creating debt.

Law enforcement contracting to the private sector should not be allowed to be a bypass of our rights.
Which raises the question, will the Supreme Court rule 5-2 or 4-3 that Flocks 1st amendment right to do business (a form of speech) is the more important right.
Are you saying the election was fixed and the billionaires didn't actually win the election?
Except Americans have voted to gut
OSHA, NLRB, FDA, EOC, and a load of other letters making sure workplaces are safe, pay is fair, and employees are treated well.
Guess that's why most professional sports have unions and have been known to strike. Fungible workers who are easy to replace.
Well, now imagine you've got some weird irrational miswiring in your brain that puts gay sex on the same level as beating puppies to death. Those are the people you just have to wait for them to age out of society before their homophobia finally goes away.
Been 53 odd years since my Prime Minister declared that the government had no business being involved in what goes on in peoples bedrooms as long as there is consent and in that time gays etc were never cared about in my Provinces politics by either the right or the left until now. Polling shows acceptance of these things dropping as well. 50 years of acceptance going away rather then growing with the older people aging out.
I fully expect attacks on the left handed next, gotta be a choice to be left handed you know as normals are right handed
Here's the wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... which has a map. Basically from northern S. America north is 120 or so (Mexico is 120 and 127 for example) with lots of minor variation, 110-127 and 220-240 depending on location with a few weird ones.
I didn't realize there was such variation
So personal responsibility means being dependent on government keeping the roads working, dependent on oil companies selling you gas, dependent on auto manufacturers building and selling repairable cars and likely a bunch of other dependencies I haven't thought of in a couple of seconds like law enforcement to keep people obeying rules.
Yes, we've had self driving commuter trains since '86 with close to zero problems. no controls that I'm aware of and no backup diesel besides buses.
Of course it is a lot easier to have an automatic train, especially one with no at grade crossings then a vehicle in unpredictable traffic.

And capitalists have killed 100's of millions, and that's just the tobacco industry. 7 milion a years, 480,000 American deaths a year

There's Libertarian Socialist too, though I doubt there's many in America, more of a European thing. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Libertarian socialism is an anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist political current that emphasises self-governance and workers' self-management. It is contrasted from other forms of socialism by its rejection of state ownership and from other forms of libertarianism by its rejection of private property. Broadly defined, it includes schools of both anarchism and Marxism, as well as other tendencies that oppose the state and capitalism.
Except they're all lossless compression so no artifacts
Based on the precedence of the Salish Sea, agreement between the geographic boards of Ontario, NY and both federal governments should do it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
No, precedent (the Salish Sea) says that the geographic boards of Ontario, NY State, Canada and the USA agreeing is enough to rename. The President could start the procedure but in this case it wouldn't go far in countries with the rule of law.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
There's procedures for renaming international waters. Consider the Salish Sea, the most recent international navigable waterway renaming around here.
Wiki has a good summary,
In March 2008, Chemainus First Nation proposed renaming the Georgia Strait the "Salish Sea", an idea that reportedly met with approval by British Columbia's Aboriginal Relations Minister Mike de Jong, who pledged to put it before the Executive Council of British Columbia for discussion. Making the name "Salish Sea" official required a formal application to the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[17] A parallel American movement promoting the name had a different definition, combining the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound, as well as the Strait of Georgia and related waters under the name Salish Sea.
In August 2009, the British Columbia Geographical Names Office approved a resolution recommending that the Geographical Names Board of Canada adopt the name Salish Sea contingent on approval by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[18][19] The name was endorsed by the Washington State Board on Geographic Names in late October 2009.[20] It was approved by the United States Board on Geographic Names on November 12, 2009,[21] and by the British Columbia Geographical Names Office in February 2010. The French name Mer des Salish is also official in Canada.[3]
Four different offices had to agree, Provincial, State, and 2 Federal agencies all dealing with geographical names. Not some idiot with a crayon impulsively reacting to an insult.
