Here's to posting from Sync being available soon. Still have to go to other lemmy apps to post.

It's easy to figure out what the Republican Party doesn't want. They never tell me what they actually want.

We don't know if a president can pardon themselves. Has never been done. Trump would surely try, though.

The fact that we're even talking about this is completely embarrassing. I'm not sure any other country can really take this country's democracy serious anymore.

Wonder how this will work in an electrified world. Especially in NJ.

It's truly insane.

And it's mind boggling to me that there are so many great solutions that have been in use for decades in other developed countries, but the US refuses to take any cues, because that's "socialism" or whatever. It's tiresome.

Doesn't it just make gas more expensive?

Also, how about electric vehicle charging? Do these attendants have to plug the car in for you? Just a matter of time before gasoline cars are obsolete.

And some people will go to extraordinary lengths to defend them.

The US, like most other developed countries, needs a constant influx of workers because the population is getting older on average. Boomers will soon be completely out of the labor market, and the smaller, younger generations will not be able to sustain the economy and society without extra hands.

In most states there's already an additional tax for not living in the home in the form of not receiving the homestead exemption.

Expanding the homestead exemption could be part of the solution.

This is called "golden handcuffs" among real estate researchers.

This is part of the GOP strategy.

Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri has openly acknowledged that the GOP strategy is to make it so miserable for Democrats in red and purple states that they will move to blue states. That would, in turn, cement Republican power in the White House, Senate and thereby the Supreme Court.

Sounds like Google is trying to reinstate company scrip.

Not the worst place to be stuck.

Yes. That is specifically for Google's ad service. It's gone with the ad-free version.

If Trump had been president, this exact same economy would have been the best ever.

Probably $2 for the mug, $20 toward the campaign.

Democrats have no chance in just about anywhere rural.

Democrats are doing very well in just about all rural areas of New England.

New England is obviously different culturally than many other areas of the US, but Dems could definitely take some valuable lessons from that area.
