Unions push UP wages for both union and non union with the same sector. Loads of data. https://www.epi.org/publication/briefingpapers_bp143/

If they’re actually interested in getting the nomination, I’m surprised that none of them have brought up the way that Trump’s mind is obviously slipping. Recent days have seen him confuse Jeb Bush with W, thinking he won against Obama in 2016, mixing up Biden with Obama, and warning of World War II. Bit late on that…

Okay see this is why nobody takes you seriously because FGM is SO MUCH worse, and designed deliberately to A) make women incapable of feeling sexual pleasure (not that it necessarily works, I’m not clear on this) and B) enforce virginity until marriage. Like you’re comparing an outdated and unnecessary medical…

One genuine anti-bride thing you can do to save a lot of money is tell all your vendors you're hosting a "family event" instead of a wedding so they can't jack up the costs. A friend of mine did this, and he saved thousands on the venue. 

The real-world explanation is that the character wasn’t created until 2008, so her existence is a retcon of sorts. The in-universe explanation is that (spoiler) she had already left the Order by the events of Revenge of the Sith (though we do get to see what she’s up to during that time).

I guess the idea is that if they had ties to Epstein decades later, that would create a chain of evidence linking them to sex trafficking?

He’s a Michelangelo guy. What do you expect from a party dude?

“Because the clear answer would seem to be the studios, and the execs in charge of the studios.”

Manufacturing of complex goods requires certainty. A dysfunctional political system that enables policy changes depending on whether a slight breeze moves past is a recipe for disaster.

I saw one trailer and dismissed it as a Skyline/Battle Los Angeles-esque epic-on-a-budget movie. I thought Rogue One and Edwards’ Godzilla were both fine, but heavily flawed, so I really had no interest in this movie. Reading this has definitely piqued my interest.

Speaking as a 300ZX owner, be very afraid of a $4000 example.

Bill Maher is a dick. He was never a liberal. Seeing how he just barely got scared off from being a scab is more evidence of his unprogressive ways. A real progressive never would have even floated the idea of crossing a picket line. He just seems good at pissing everyone off.

You don’t need NFTs or blockchain to run a closed market for skins or whatever. 

My favorite Willie Jack-ism is how she adds swears to the end of her sentence, as if punctuation.

Not that he doesn’t deserve it - far from it! - but I really hope that the only Emmy this show ever receives doesn’t go to Ethan Hawke for Guest Actor.

If I could give anyone involved with the show this season an Emmy it would be Pauline Alexis (Willie Jack). But Devery Jacobs is also very deserving as are many other people involved with the show.

But I wanna know what it is NOW! Why cant they explain EVERYTHING? I don’t like mysteries!

Can Anybody, Everybody, please give Ms. Jacobs at least one Emmy, or more than one? She has shown Talent beyond the norm for her age. She has a stelar future before her.
