  • We should entertain the idea that this is the effect, not the cause, of the problem. That we have cause and effect in reverse.

  • It can also remove requirements for property owners to carry flood insurance.

    That's why they did it. A bank was probably going to require it as a loan requirement and the cost of flood insurance for them was likely going to be significant.

    I have a friend who did the same thing except his was a single workshop. Going forward, I do not see FEMA authoring these map rewrite requests.

  • Just use RSS to follow specific channels.

  • As a Catholic and as a moderator of https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/Catholic, I think this is a good move by the bishops. The Catholic Church is not defined by modern political divisions. We have priests walking with immigrants to court to discourage ICE from kidnapping immigrants, we have prayer groups outside most abortion clinics, we have protestors at every execution (capital punishment), we are told by our bishops to care for the poor, both personally and through the government we elect, and we are told that the right to life is a fundamental issue. We oppose the legal recognition of same-gender marriage and the acceptance of gender as a self-imposed construct. My bishop has helped promote legislation targeting payday lenders and other usurers while also doing the same in opposition to assisted suicide. We are a mixed bag. We are on both sides of the aisle. And both parties really want to gain our vote. If we self-declare an allegiance to either party, that harms our position. We risk becoming like the partisans on both sides who, as we often see, change their views to fit what's convenient for the political party.

  • Pete Hegseth probably blocked aid on his own authority without asking President Trump first. This is a correction of that decision. Unfortunately, Trump prizes loyalty even above being in sync on policy issues.

  • We will know late August, when the CCP meets and the shakeup is supposedly going to take place. IMO, the time between now and then is dangerous as Xi might make an extreme act to hold on to power.

  • If you go to college, the degree you get also matters. Professions requiring a degree "just because" is gone. Now the only degrees worthwhile are those where that's the only way into a specific profession, like medicine.

  • Will a .onion site work for you instead? No registration, no cost, and easy to self-host.

    For the first time, Xi is missing a China-backed BRICS summit. Why?

  • You are more than welcome to cite the actual Geneva convention to show where I'm wrong.

  • The Chinese government is paying huge incentives for every car sold. This is their way of gaming the system to subsidize their industry and undercut non-Chinese auto makers.

  • If they moved the nuclear enrichment, that would have destroyed the process too. No way to keep the centrifuges spinning at a constant rate while moving them.

  • My wife buys gift cards to restaurants with quality food (usually fast casual without table service) and hands them out to the homeless. We also donate razors, feminine products, etc. to a local house that gets supplies out to the homeless.

  • He also doesn't think billionaires should pay taxes. He is a nutjob. Ignore him.

  • Just give it back to the Romans or Ottomans. These children living there today need daddy empire to keep them behaved.
