Don't forget the whole discussion started about a movement to change the law. That's what SKG is, thats what Videogames Europe is scared of.

We have a chance to change the law here.

Ah yes, I remember Obama getting impeached for bombing Syria.

And for that matter, Trump getting impeached for killing Soleimani, the leader of Iran, while he was in Iraq.

It didn't work.

This is Google Ngrams, and the exact results can be found right here. It charts the frequency of a word or phrase occurring in all literature in Google's library, by publication date. You can make interesting inferences about the popularity of words. Also, try two words, phrases or names separated by a comma to compare them side by side.

It's really cool but people have stopped talking about it much since it came out years ago.

Boy are you gonna feel oppressed when companies have to hire WITHOUT choosing employees specifically on the basis of personal characteristics such as race and sex, in accordance with Title IX.

Hey, remember when a bunch of "mainstream" republicans endorsed Kamala over Trump?

Those are the ones who historically opposed lowering drug prices.

Really makes you think.

And notably, it looks completely different from the original concept (which would have just been a management game) so its safe to say the original got scrapped, they just liked the theme enough to make it into something else.

Some of these feel mutually exclusive...

The FBI spied on trump as well as got caught lying about the Biden laptop scandal to help Biden win the 2020 campaign so... Would it be surprising if he directed Patel to fuck with the FBI on purpose?

My new dual-method system for innovators is guaranteed to help you EXPAND your startup! Google "Futanari Inflation" for more!

Took him long enough.

Must... Not... Heil...

As far as I understand, trans people are still a protected class under other statutes on the UK, but basically just don't count for any laws like "50% of company board members must be women to receive this tax break".

Which, idk, seems reasonable to me.

I would like to say, California instituted a $20 fast food minimum wage which was estimated to cause an 8% increase in overall wages (they already trend high there) but a 1.5% increase in menu prices. To my mind this tracks as wages are kind of small (too small) against ingredients, building lease, etc.

Granted, increasing the wages of everybody in the agricultural supply chain would probably have a bigger effect, but overall I think businesses tend to mcfucking lie about the impact of wage increases on consumer prices.

It's not reddit, people can be sarcastic without the /s.

We had a pretty close call there. For a while, the president was pushing hard for a federal online censorship program that got caught lying as soon as it was formed, and also trying to get votes counted with no voter ID unlike every single other democratic country. The administration was also paying bail for protestors who burned down random businesses and pushing for prosecution of people who acted in self defense. Luckily we didn't re-elect him and his handlers after that.

It threw off everybody's bullshit calibration when the FBI announced in 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, which included implications of Joe Biden taking foreign bribe money, was "Russian Disinformation".

They also ordered (technically only "asked nicely") Facebook and Twitter to engage in censorship campaigns based on this.

Later, after helping Biden win the election, they admitted that the laptop was real and not a Russian psyop as publicly claimed. Internal text messages revealed even later prove that while the FBI may have thought the laptop was not real at first, they did not believe it was a Russian plant, in other words, they lied.

So stuff like that might be why Republicans tend to believe "Russian Misinformation".

Ironically, thats the exact idea behind the whole trade war thing. It has lead to TSMC already accelerating their plans to expand the Arizona microchip fabrication lab, which means... Factory jobs, the thing we used to have in the 70's.

More like Facebook worked overtime to tip the 2020 election towards Biden and Trump is still mad about it.

Well, FOIA requests revealed Facebook was extremely cooperative with both enacting government censorship requests, and keeping them secret, when those same censorship requests would have been utterly illegal if they were an official order, so...

Some deal like "You give us control over information and we leave your monopoly alone", even unspoken, seems to be the gist of it.
