Well, we also can't let communities discriminate like that...you say you're "not saying you have to accept [them] in your community regardless of legal status" but I'm assuming you don't feel loke people should be able to chase other types of minorities out of town if they don't approve. That's kinda the whole point of law - to set the rules for how we treat each other. I haven't thought enough about this particular topic to know how I feel about it. I see the state's interest in reducing incestuous births, and I'm definitely not ok with the state making reproductive choices for people more generally.

What's really disgusting is that I bet the entire reason they're even debating this is because they don't want to allow any exemption from their abortion ban.

Yachts, on average, burn 20-50 gallons of fuel an hour.

Super yachts and mega yachts have fuel capacities of 10k-50k gallons and burn 100-500 gallons per hour.

Before I had a PEV, I would run through about 10 gallons a week. I had that car for 10 years, meaning I used less fuel in a decade than a mega yacht does in a day. I traveled around 130k miles on around 5200 gallons of gas and that car had pretty shit MPG of 25.

Cruising speed for yachts varies quite a bit, but assuming a speed of 50 mph means a super yacht gets between 0.5 and 0.1 MPG.

Then there's the private jets, the 30k sq ft houses, and the fact that 80% of emissions can be tracked back to 57 atate-owned or private companies...none of which are owned or run by the poor or working class. All of that is only considering the western world and it's definition of poor, the poorest 100 nations only account for around 3% of total emissions...so yes, its the rich people.

You're absolutely right... Since things suck for them now, we should accelerate their demise!

Who's viable besides Trump and Biden?

You're correct, I multiplied by .01 instead of .001.

Behold, the reading comprehension of a Musk fan

He's probably going to upload himself in every neuralink chip installed in some poor rube's brain...then we'll have a whole army of them. Like a racist 'Lawnmower Man'...

It wasn't enough of a hike, and therefore worthless. Just like he isn't pressing Israel hard enough, so he's literally Hitler. /s

0.1% of a billion dollars is still 10m. Since we're on track to see our first trillionaires soon, I'd argue we need a 100% tax bracket as well. 0.1% of a trillion is 10 billion.

I am just applying your own logic to you. You eat vegetables that were almost certainly picked by underpaid Central Americans and wear clothes that were fabricated in sweat shops made from fabrics harvested by children. If you're living on a reservation funded by a casino, you're likely benefiting from the drug trade or human trafficking as well. I'm as responsible for colonization as you are for the tribes that decided to help with the colonization for short-term gain. I acknowledge the atrocities of my ancestors - my family was also on the wrong side of the civil war. I also acknowledge that, despite having 1st nation's heritage, I don't present as native so I enjoy all the continuing privilege of whiteness. We ALL need to acknowledge that we can't help but participate in systemic injustice, even if we're fighting against it.

Oh yeah? Well, I think assigning taxa based on morphology alone is an outmoded process!

Buy it's all better than the old smoky steam we used to use

It's got to be an absolutely wild experience going through life thinking there is no middle ground between inviting strangers (many of whom are dealing with addiction or untreated mental illness) to sleep with you and your children and putting spikes and bars on all publicly accessible places to make life harder for those suffering the most.

I'm guessing you love factory farming, animal abuse, migrant abuse, and child labor since you eat food?

Ahh yes, under cover of shade

There are more liberal people, but they are usually concentrated in dense urban areas, which dilutes their power.

And right below a "no human is illegal" poster

Explains Republican economic and social policy...

Walmart, McDonald's...the same kinds of jobs people say "shouldn't pay enough to live on"

I think it's important to remember how many civilians we killed in Iraq trying to get the bad ones. Yes, the US military would put down an insurrection... I don't know know how fast it would be, and I don't know that they wouldn't kill my kids when they drone strike the guy down the street...
