I had to check the date on this post due to the XIV avatar.
Definitely keep clean and use deo, but I remember the last major XIV convention in NA was so poorly planned out that it had massive lines of people waiting outside in the late July summer heat in Las Vegas. It's a bit of an unfortunate situation.
I'm surprised he has enough intelligence to even be able to understand that he had been called out. Him and the U.S. were not mentioned by name in Carney's speech at all, even if it was rather obvious.
Civil War suggests there will be organized resistance.
This is true, but there's more to it than that.
Around the time I first joined Lemmy a user on here recommended a book to me titled "How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop Them."
I'm oversimplifying the contents, but civil wars tend to be more common in countries that are in a status that is between autocracy and democracy. Overwhelming authoritarianism and overwhelming democracy are stabilizers that make it difficult for infighting that contests the leadership of the country.
There's a lot of ways to interpret the current atmosphere and where we are on that scale. I don't feel confident in my ability to judge it.
It won't stop them. Immigration and customs already had a large amount of unchecked power prior to this administration, but under this administration there isn't anything they care about. They've been murdering people in cold blood across multiple blue states for a while now.
Besides that, if people start panicking and trying this then the necessary venues that people have to go to for their first passport(you have to show up in person for your first passport) could become ICE targets or places they stalk. It's not exactly uncommon knowledge that conservatives tend to not bother getting passports either.
It's inevitable. No one should trust the U.S. right now, and countries should be attempting to strengthen relations with each other to deal with the fallout that is bound to occur.
Has he not been doing a decent job as fed chair head though?
I would say yes, even without considering how he has handled Trump. He's had to deal with the pandemic, in addition to pressure from the current markets, and then there's Trump. DOGE cleared out so many government agencies, has them working with skeleton crews which means there's less data for the fed to base their decisions on. Trump himself has been applying constant aggressive pressure even before this investigation.
And frankly even if he isn’t, Trump going after him in the position he’s in is extremely serious. I agree that he shouldn’t be lionized and it should be more about the position.
And yeah, that's really what it comes down to. Regardless of how you feel about Powell the federal reserve needs to be independent. The economy is fucked even harder than it is now the moment Trump takes control of it. Inflation will go out of control, savings will go up in smoke near instantly.
I sleep well as long as my wife is there. She can roll us from one side of the bed to the other or off it even and I'll continue sleeping like a rock. The moment she's sick or has trouble sleeping is when I also have trouble sleeping, which is fine with me.
I do sometimes miss being younger and sleeping any where, any time though.
I could believe this. Not saying the men's are much better as I'd say they're definitely just as bad, but my wife used to tell me horror stories about the women's restrooms before she swore off ever using one again outside of emergencies.
You can't trust anyone. Be extra careful about what you tell people as in this wretched police state you can never be sure if you could suddenly be arrested anything that you say.
Listen, I don't disagree with you regarding the class divide, but this is my own experience with plenty members of the older generation, including my own parents.
I'm not saying they all do, nor do I really think it's a starting point for dealing with the issue either, but that's what this meme is about. Again, it's just my own experience and I'm sorry that it seems to upset you.
It's not even good for searches. It used to be solid for finding a starting point with research, but that has somehow gotten even worse. The summaries it provides are awful, it's so incredibly inaccurate. Unfortunately the two biggest legal search engines lexisnexis and westlaw are shoving it down your throat whether you want it or not.
This is why I just let my wife drive. She'll run the light at the last second if she can while I never will, and it's less frustrating for both of us to just let her handle it.
We need to have a vacant homes penalty desperately
Technically that's what adverse possession or squatters rights actually is.
The general criteria(without state specifics) for legal squatting is incredibly difficult to fulfill though. It's not reasonable to achieve in the majority of situations.
