So does the US, with tiers though so it's a bit less straight forward, and some state laws like in NJ are doing some wacky things. In any event, OP just didn't educate themselves before posting.
Ars Technica wasn’t one of the ones that reached out to me, but I especially thought this piece from them was interesting (since taken down – here’s the archive link). They had some nice quotes from my blog post explaining what was going on. The problem is that these quotes were not written by me, never existed, and appear to be AI hallucinations themselves.
Since early this year [2025], FEMA has denied major disaster requests from at least six Democratic states out of ten submitted, including California for wildfires, Washington for flooding, and Maryland for severe storms that caused millions in damage to communities in the western part of the state. These denials have been appealed by governors like Maryland’s Wes Moore, who described the rejection of nearly $34 million in relief as a “gut punch” to vulnerable residents still rebuilding. Trump has also made explicit threats to withhold aid from blue states unless they comply with unrelated policy demands, such as enacting voter ID laws in California, a move that legal experts argue undermines the impartiality of federal disaster response and erodes principles of federalism.
Many shows broadcast in surround sound. This includes a center channel where most voices are. Unfortunately if you don't have a system to support this, audio is "down mixed" to stereo, and the center channel gets merged into left and right. When this merge happens, you lose definition between the streams.
It would be nice if you could boost the center channel, like you would in a home theater, but before the down mix occurs.
Yea, "associated" does the work here. More research is needed into daily mental activities. It could simply be that those requiring more caffeine are also more stimulated day to day.
Dems should play the long game. Run ads targeting teens, get them to vote at 18.
