Exactly. Add a dash of “stick it to Libs” and some fervent anti-intellectualism/ blue collar wisdom and you’ve got an enormous number of people who are emotionally responding to semiotics.

Pence isn’t nearly as popular as Trump. So, yes, he’ll do damage during his remaining days, but I don’t think he can win the (re)election.

Why is it unconstitutional? States can decide how to apportion their EC votes.

Much easier to get 270 EC votes than it is to change the Constitution. That would require a 3/4 majority. 

According to the Roberts, yes.

The problem is that there will inevitably be a troll like Milos or O’Keefe who will decide he is now a woman and will demand access to women’s locker rooms or restrooms- going so far as to sue. 

I disagree on the crime part- they’re intertwined. Crime can’t come down without decent jobs.  But if people don’t feel safe, jobs won’t come.

It’s rare circumstances, but I agree with Max. There’s been a shit-ton of resources poured into Camden by the public and private sector. However, without a supporting community (i.e. not just a commuter town), it won’t recover. So much attention has been placed on getting business, that the community (or lack…

A lot to unpack:

Exhibit A that they are worse: President Trump.

The problem is that Dems are obsessed with decorum and norms. So, they wouldn’t do some of the shitty things anyway. In addition, the likes of Kavanaugh, Alito, etc. are more than happy to invent a reason why it’s different when it comes to Republicans.  Rank and file Republicans don’t have any shame about being a…

The only difference is that they more than connect, they establish pricing.

Ah, but if 20 out of the 40 plumbers in your city colluded to fix prices, it’s still price fixing, even if not everyone participates in it.

Governments are allowed to set prices, individual businesses are not.

But, then they’d be subject to state/country/county transportation regulations because they’d be a transportation company.  They’re arguing they are not. 

But that’s not the crux of the argument. The argument is, “Fine, we’re contractors. That means, as independent contractors, we can charge what we want or else it’s considered price fixing.”

They are also enormous contributors to universities to espouse libertarian ideology- e.g. Prager U.

Truvada is the name of the drug.  The drug owns itself?

Without the dash. That’s wrong, so can ignore.   Just using the approach you set up.

Gilead’s margins are approx 55%.
