US politics: Rovenber is coming.
Martell Spy replied to Varysblackfyre321's topic in General Chatter
Yeah, it was terrible when I worked a union job. I paid like $20/month and got healthcare benefits so generous I thought I was back in the 1990's. I have to wonder at workers outraged about unions. Why are they even inconveniencing the great job creators by taking a paycheck? -

Federal Reserve The Fed should pause interest rate rises as US inflation slows Joseph Stiglitz and Dean Baker It would be irresponsible to create much higher unemployment – and the US economy could be pushed into recession https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/sep/12/the-fed-interest-rate-rises-us-inflation-unemployment-recession

5 eps in. Starting on 6 as well. Cobra Kai remains one of the best shows on television. I realized this after finishing 5. It's like the best Karate Kid fanfiction I did not know I needed. Really glad that Miguel and Johnny are now family. 2 of my favorite characters. (And I really hated John Lawrence in the 1980's when I watched him as a little kid) Chozen/John Lawrence buddy cop is just about perfect. I could watch a whole show based on this alone.

Republicans look to restrict ballot measures following a string of progressive wins The state efforts are a direct threat to abortion-rights advocates and other liberal groups’ efforts to bypass governors and legislatures and take issues directly to voters. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/10/the-lefts-best-chance-for-restoring-abortion-rights-in-red-states-is-in-jeopardy-00055901

The whole thing doesn't look very thought out. His lawyers could have made an agreement to return documents, a real agreement. Instead the plan seems to be to spit in the eye of the DOJ at every step. And the special master thing is a part of that. It's very Trumpian, but it's a pretty poor legal plan to delay and piss off the DOJ instead of seeking immunity. Especially when you consider how lenient the DOJ is on elites in these types of cases.

Gotham Knights sounds awesome and I'll probably buy it. But I really am not happy that it includes enemies scaling to your level. I don't know why developers keep pushing this, but I find it annoying. -

And your solution and Tywin's is to turn to the U.S. Congress. The same body notorious for not passing things, most especially economically progressive things. And the same ones that made student loans not dischargeable in bankruptcy. They were key in creating the problem. And they chose purposely not to address the problem. Biden, too didn't want to act at first. And he said Congress should address this. It's a great excuse not to act at all to kick it to these jokers in the Senate. Do you really trust Sinema to do what's right? More like she will give a thumbs down.
