If the companies won't do it themselves, the government can help them along by slapping a huge tax on these things, and build up some funding to secure treatment for these dimwits when they inevitably come crawling to the NHS with health issues.
Absolutely not, this is not democracy. In a democracy, you would vote out the corrupt party and continue with your life.
This is a revolt, and it's what happens when a government, of any kind, fails its people and also fails to provide them a means of legitimately changing the system.
Doubling down on repression to keep the current system is what leads to rebellion. Seems like the government has backed off, but the seeds are already there...
As is always the case, people don't go out risking life and limb because they're mildly inconvenienced, no matter how the broader media tries to paint it.
They do it because they're being systematically deprived of the very last few footholds they have on survival, on an escape, on a way forward with their lives.
When you squeeze people so much, they have no option - if I'm going to starve to death as a slave, might as well cut out the long suffering and bring some of them down with me. That's the general atmosphere here...
Bro. There's a fucking article right there that says this:
A total of 364 MPs voted against Bayrou and 194 voted for him after he called the vote in a bid to push through an unpopular €44 billion ($51 billion) savings plan that included scrapping two public holidays and freezing government spending. The 364 votes against Bayrou were well above the 280-vote threshold needed to topple the government.
Bayrou will now be forced to step down after just nine months in office, following in the footsteps of his predecessor Michel Barnier, who lost a no-confidence vote last December.
When a vote of no-confidence is passed in the french parliament, the government ends. The President, Macron, now has to nominate a new Prime Minister.
Macron however is also under fire - this PM lasted 9 months, and the precious one he appointed lasted 3 months.
The French president can appoint whoever they want as Prime Minister, but since parliament can vote them out with a vote of no confidence, there has to be a compromise with the leading parliamentary powers. It's unlikely Macron can achieve this, short of nominating someone from the right but then he's going against his own voters, which is kinda political suicide.
There's no way they could do that, because then they'd actually have to board the boat and search for the drugs, and I wouldn't put it past them to find as much of it as they did WMDs in Iraq.
I have no doubt that the Maduro regime is trafficking drugs, it's just that any ships the US navy blows up aren't all necessary related to that, but we'll never know if they just nuke them.
Nah it's fine, the jobs are gone anyway because China used to buy monstrous quantities of soybeans from the US, and will buy 0 in the last trimester - here's a link from Reuters. Brazil, Argentina, Chile have ramped up their production massively to accommodate the demand.
Since the jobs are now in other places, no point migrating to the US.
That's one way of solving the migration issues - nuke the economy and destroy the jobs, so people no longer come.
For all we know, it's a 50/50 that the customer service guy receives back an email back from that email that supposedly is not accessible saying "WTF I have no idea what you're talking about, was my account hacked?"
But since you're that gullible - hey bro, that wallet in your back pocket is mine, I put it there when I washed my jeans. Hand it back now, I paid for it and I'm 100% entitled to it!!
Same. Like with most articles, I read the abstract and skipped ahead to the conclusion - they couldn't get sufficient data to prove their theory but further research looks promising.
But just to clarify, do we realize who actually upholds the law? News flash: its not the police. It's the millions and millions of people who actually abide by it, and that get up and demand justice when it's not being followed.
Except that no one is doing that, because half of America is being gaslighted and bamboozled by the media that has them trapped in a cloud of ignorance and fear, and the other half seems to be waiting for some superhero to show up and save the day.
At some point, SCOTUS has got to realize that letting trump get away with everything is just paving a highway that the opposition at some point will also take.
While for the most part, Democrats have been lame ass pussies too scared to actually fix anything when they get in power, there's a chance that people like Newsom will get into office and take advantage of this near-godhood - just in the other way.
I'm not American, but my understanding of the system is that the long term plan for the country isn't meant to be set by the president, but by the legislature - passing laws and creating federal bodies that steer the country.
Instead, there's absolutely no laws being agreed upon, only presidents that try to impose their view for a while until they're replaced by whoever's next who then breaks everything.
The courts are then thrown on to the spotlight and asked by the country to fill up a role who's not actually theirs, and I don't even want to go into the issues with appointment of judges.
Not that the system in China is any better, they just happen to have a guy who's ruthless enough to hold onto power with no opposition, and seems to actually care about his country - but he isn't gonna last for ever, and there's zero guarantee that the power struggles after he's gone won't tear the country to shreds, or that the next up isn't a fucked up moron like the orange...
They were scrubbing it with paint stripper I assume.
