  • US Supreme Court lets Trump's transgender military ban take effect

  • The title is missing a key point here:

    US Supreme Court let's Trump's transgender military ban take effect | while appeals continue.

    This isn't a final decision if you took it that way.

  • Some judges are allowing people to request to attend Zoom hearings because of these interruptions.

    We want people to attend their hearings, but getting arrested for showing up is sending the wrong message. Especially so for for those who have a good case.

  • North Korea Stole Your Job

  • This is why you don't take on odd jobs from people contacting you remotely.

    If your only job is to forward packages/letters/money sent to your home address (or to pick up packages from nearby addresses) and you get a cut of the money, you're probably a mule for money laundering.

    If your only job is helping others from another country (they will like about where they're actually from) get through interview/hiring processes, you're probably working with countries like this.

    If they want to use your name for a job application, you don't have to do any work, and they will send you most of the paycheck, you're probably working with countries like this.

  • It's "constitutional" because they're accusing the "money" of being used illegally. There's no actual person being accused here, but if you want to get your money back you'll need to prove it's innocence in court.

    It's ridiculous. At least the Institute for Justice has been winning court cases against this, but there's still a long way to go: https://ij.org/issues/private-property/civil-forfeiture/

  • Alex Jones Thinks Trump Has Gone Too Far

    Jump

  • For those wondering where he finally draws the line with Trump, it's Trump's statements about deporting citizens to El Salvador.

    FUENTES:  You have…1,500 people with a legal right to be here, they’re being expedited — their removal is being expedited for no reason other than they criticize the fact that, you know, we’re supporting this foreign war Fuentes seems to be referencing the Gaza conflict].

    JONES: Here’s where I’m at, though. In general, I see the whole, a lot of the populist conservative space spending half their time on this, and I just, I mean, I think it’s way more dangerous Trump saying we’re looking to deporting citizens to El Salvador. Now, that’s unconstitutional, and that is really bad.

    FUENTES: I agree with that. Then again though, I don’t think that’s a real policy. That hasn’t happened. What is really happening —

    JONES: Now they’re talking about using the Enemy Combatant Act to do it for regular crime. It’s —

    FUENTES: I don’t, I think that’s one of those throwaway comments.

    JONES: So you think it’s him trolling?

    FUENTES: I think they’re flooding the zone with poo like Bannon said.

  • It's not something unique to capitalism. In communism you can easily have tons of monopolies as well.

    Regulation is definitely a good thing. Competition among companies is a good thing.

  • The maximum age for the President, or someone in the Senate/Congress should be based on a percentage of the average livespan of everyone in the country.

    It's adaptive and also incentivizes them to make choices which will benefit everyone's health, rather than the health of the elite.

  • This wasn't touched on in the video, but another bad side to making sub minimum wage is when the restaurant has the servers do "side work" at the end of the night before they can go home.

    Basically it's "Free labor" for the restaurant, because you're still going to get a 0$-$2 paycheck at the end of the pay period.

    This work is done after all your tables have gone, and typically involves things like pulling up the seat cushions and cleaning underneath, rolling/folding up napkins, filling up salt/pepper shakers, collecting all of the condiments off the tables, etc.

    One restaurant in particular even had us doing some kitchen prep work (in addition to the side work listed above) like dumping whatever was left in the ketchup bottles into a larger container for sauces, stripping herbs off their stems, etc.

    Usually this took about 20-30 min, but you couldn't go until it was done and someone had to sign off on it, or else they would pick up the slack if someone else didn't do everything.

  • Also American, I had something similar happen with an Ambulance. I did not get transported, but they still charged $2700. So, it might depend on where you live, or which ambulance company responded to the call.
