one would assume, since all of these numbers are publicly available (jobs numbers, revenue, tax revenue, etc) that it would be easy to look at the ROI for all such corporate welfare projects (including NFL teams/stadium deals) and see that it rarely produces a positive return, and creates all sorts of problems for…

With such a federal law, cities and states would still be free to set policies they feel will attract businesses, just not any specific company. Companies will have to decide how to balance the cost of locating in a particular place with housing options and the talent pool available to it. For a company like Amazon,…

Do these people not have lawyers? I mean, rule #1: don’t speak to a federal agent without a lawyer present; rule#2: try to avoid speaking to a federal agent even with a lawyer present, unless there’s a grant of immunity. “Don’t lie” is definitely a rule as well, although it’s still fairly easy to run afoul of 18 USC 1…

It all sounds great, and the criminal justice reforms sound very reminiscent of the work that Larry Krasner has been doing in Philadelphia. I just hope that they can prove whatever they charge Guyger with (and remember that it’s still not going to be easy to convict a police officer, even one as unsympathetic as this…

Textualism and Originalism are infallible and rigid philosophies and methodologies of applying law, and also easily disregarded if they do not/cannot produce the Judge’s desired result. Stevens’ dissent in Heller was particularly good, btw. 

Like, what are we even talking about here? Louis Farrakhan is an Anti-Semite (or, more generously, someone who has said a lot of Anti-Semitic things) and also not the president—he’s not relevant to this situation. Below, are the things and people that ARE relevant to this situation:

Speaking of diseases, maybe someone should check the water over at Fox News—there might be a brain-eating parasite on the loose.

Despite their professed love of history, they do not seem to be learning any of its inherent lessons. However, hopefully this incident has taught them a lesson about how painful history can be, and how dressing up as a representative of a group that did not believe that Jews, Roma, Gays, Poles, Russians (all Slavic…

I mean, regardless of what happens on criminal justice reform, I don’t see how Trump leaves the Oval without pardoning Charlie Kushner, who at least, unlike just about everyone else Trump has pardoned so far, actually served any time in prison, and served all of his sentence. I can probably live with that, but I…

This is all starting to sound like WorryFree in “Sorry to Bother You”.  Sure, it’s just communal living now, but where does it go from here? 

They didn’t have the “proper license” to go to the polls? Is there a fee for such a license—a tax, perhaps? Is this 1877?

As with most non-personal-health related dietary restrictions, everybody seems to kinda make up their own code of conduct for what is and isn’t allowed, that always has some pretty gaping holes in it—but people are entitled to their opinions as long as they respect the underlying facts.

Pretty sure he didn’t have his shit together in terms of having an event management/production company on board early enough—like AEG or C3, etc—and by the time he’d found one that was willing to work with him (because there were many things he wanted to do that were not realistic), there wasn’t enough time for them…

At this point I don’t think it’s a bad idea for the US to exercise restraint here—at least in terms of jumping to conclusions—we don’t really know what happened. However, we can certainly find out and should pursue this matter to the fullest extent. What we don’t want here is to inadvertently get drawn into the…

I mean, if it all weren’t so horrible, there is something kinda funny about the whole Trump/Abe confrontation over the gaming license. It’s literally probably the worst and most gauche thing anyone could do according to traditional Japanese business custom, which typically does not prize such confrontation or…

I don’t know, it’s probably a good idea to have multiple reasons why Kavanaugh shouldn’t be confirmed. I mean, Ford’s testimony was credible and I believe her, while Kavanaugh was not believable—that should be reason enough. But we won’t ever know for sure what actually happened (although I understand that, yes,…

This incident might not be so easily forgotten, even if Kavanaugh is confirmed, and I’m sure there’s plenty of new info that will trickle out over the coming years. Kavanaugh may find it difficult to do his job, and of course there’s always the possibility that he gets impeached for any of the many lies he’s told at…

Putting aside the apparent (and growing) legitimacy of the allegations against Kavanaugh, it’s hard to claim this mess as solely the Dems’ doing. If they really wanted to put a stop to all of this nonsense, withdraw his nomination and nominate someone else from the list.

Not only is it meant to punish the poorest of the poor, it’s also meant to demonize them and make those that are only slightly better off feel superior, and to make them feel like the government has done a good job getting rid of those “welfare queens” and “moochers” living off the hard work of others--all the while…

The fact that she’s a cop should be irrelevant here (at least as to her guilt)—she was off-duty at the time. She should receive the same treatment that any other citizen would receive if accused of the same crime. The only reason that her being a cop is at all relevant, is the additional protections she is given…
