Again and again, this is partly religious and partly economic. Before women poured into the workforce in the late 60s/early 70s, your average white man had an unpaid indentured servant who performed cooking, housework and childcare in exchange for free room and board, leaving Daddy free to smoke and work. This was…

I’ve got some good news, you don’t actually agree. You (rightfully) believe that both of those things should be offered, where Cruz thinks that neither should exist.

My neighboring city just busted a massage parlor with forced labor. What did they find? Eleven girls (CHILDREN) under age 18. We also need to hold accountable the people soliciting slave labor and frothing at the mouth at the influx of desperately poor who they can exploit.

I agree here that gasoline doesn’t help, especially in dry areas like Africa and the Mediterrean. If those cars catch fire then a whole forest can burn down.

The spiralling ‘holier than thou’ dipshit would argue himself back into being 3/5ths of a person if he fucking could just to spite other people.

I think several signers were offered to keep their job if they claimed they were pressured into signing it and did not agree with it.

Cooper is a pretty good democrat, to boot. He’s been pretty effective, given the hand he was dealt in the legislature.

Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and all of these other Nazis are the start of modern right-wing death squads in the good ole’ USA.

There is a stubborn/deluded/idiotic minority of Americans who could catch Trump fucking their dog and shitting in their refrigerator and they would still support him. Those people are beyond convincing and just need to be steamrollered in to the irrelevance they deserve.

Man I thought regular slideshows were bad, but they’re even worse for videos. Forget to stop the current video before click next slide and later realize there’s video still playing in the background from a few slides black.

“It won’t (and physically can’t) work outside of a few applications where rocks are brought downhill and an empty train is brought back uphill.”

It makes me reconsider a $4 can of caffeinated vitamin water if they’re making enough to crash planes for marketing.

Simply put, the FAA does not fuck around. Ever. The stick up their ass has a stick up its ass and as a result, everyone everywhere follows the rules. When rules are followed, planes don’t fall out of the sky. The FAA is a large part of the reason why air travel is the safest mode of transportation on this planet.

I mean, if the only requirement is that no one can get hurt, then most rules wouldn’t ever apply in a lot of situations especially out in the wild/rural areas. It’s like saying I drove 120 mph on the highway, but no one got hurt, what could go wrong?

Red Bull costs you wiiiiiiings!

I blame people for not voting for their own self interest. I think the Democratic party is awful. Hilary was a terrible candidate. So what. Voted for her anyway because the danger of Trump specifically choosing the Supreme Court was going to lead us to where we are today.

Not to mention this majority lasted for all of 72 days. ACA that this writer now sneers at, was also widely popular. Yet it took all the democratic political capital available at the time to pass it. I am only a couple of years older than this writer. But the very online young lefty crowd are embarrassingly ignorant…

Being upset about a political party trying to do an impossible thing that would have ALWAYS been impossible to do REGARDLESS of when they did or did not try to do so is a massive waste of energy.

...it’s almost as if we live in a nation with precious little respect or protection for regular working people!

I maybe get the not being able to sue a co-worker, but seems like not being able to sue your employer for damages is suspect, and leaves employees unprotected
