No, nobody has to. The problem of them under paying would solve itself if nobody was willing to work for them at those low wages.

‽‽‽

Why is what your business? What do you think anyone is asking of you?

You’re the one who asked for an explanation of the post.

One example is anti-vaxxers claiming vaccines are causing the increase in autism. When challenged, one possible response they parrot is “well then what is the cause?”. The message is that there isn’t a cause because there isn’t an increase in the first place

The issue with that line of thinking is that your conclusion is that the only way out is superior execution by the Dem party. But that’s not the case. The wind CAN choose and can decide to blow us away from the cliff.

Bingo

If you care whether she won, then yes blame her for losing. That’s not what I care about. I care that Trump won. Since there was a much better option available to voters, I blame the voters for that.

Anyone who thinks Harris was a worse option than Trump is not worth having a conversation with.

Instead of choosing to die off the cliff, they should have chosen the steep hill and then climbed back up to kick ass for having been kicked down a hill.

Abstaining is an active choice. For someone eligible to vote, there doesn’t exist an “I opt out of any accountability for the outcome” option.

I still can blame the voters who chose the more wrong option, either explicitly or implicitly through non voting. More than one can be blamed.

It is not completely her fault because voters have agency and accountability.

I think you’re getting your roles all mixed up with your analogy. The anger you reference is at fellow voters. It isn’t the average voter’s job to build a better rocket. And the wind is not alterable but voter decisions are. The anger is at the decision makers who chose the rocket that was less capable of dealing with the harsh wind or chose to not pick a rocket at all, knowing that would result in the lesser rocket being picked.

I kinda suspect that shared joy might repeat if a cancer vaccine was revealed.

We didn’t collectively suffer long enough from COVID for its vaccine to be universally embraced…

They hate education and the educated.

I think you’re missing that it would be stuff that hasn’t sold yet

But they choose to subscribe to that religion and could choose to stop. They could choose to no longer make it core to their being.

Why would she be mad about her partner thinking about other women? Is she insecure?

Sorry, I meant to type higher resistance. On my water heater, the equivalent part that is glowing in the picture is a really thin flexible corrugated gas pipe that surely can carry much much less current than the iron gas pipe feeding it before it went really high resistance. I could totally see it glowing like this with enough current. But if it is aluminum (not sure if it is), what you said makes sense.

My gas pipe to the house comes out of the ground inside a plastic protective pipe sleeve, so I can imagine it possibly not having enough of a low resistance path to earth to trip one of the cutout fuses on the primary distribution line. Granted, mine also has a big ground wire bonding it to the house ground, which I would think would help here…

/shrug I was just sharing what I read. It was supposedly the explanation as to why local breakers on the house didn’t trip.

I think in this case the power heating the pipes is not coming from this house’s electrical service, so killing the main breaker probably won’t help.
