That would also be great, but there's a lot more convincing required for that, hence how we reached this instead.

Improving roads has secondary effects. First is people must be paid to do the work, meaning money in laborers pockets, though I'm sure execs are also lining their pockets...

Second, goods and services use roads, notably highways and interstates.

Third, better roads do allow cities that are reasonably close together to benefit from each other. Smaller cities with less jobs can have people commute to wherever the jobs are, typically in larger cities.

I agree that the states are too dependent on vehicle infrastructure, but we definitely still need it.

People have a hard time with nuance.

Or freeze it

Yes. I'm aware that this conflict is technically over a decade long and there's huge amounts of propaganda from both sides trying to portray themselves and the hero/victim.

I am certainly always open to learning more than I have access to though.

I like your idea

Yes. We should care. Russia is the aggressor here. They deserve to at least be condemned.

I'm not saying Ukraine is perfect and I'm sure my world view is altered by propaganda in some way, but at its base, Russia invaded Ukraine and if Russia is committing war crimes, they should not be supported.

If Russia had never invaded, that soldier could instead be at home with family or friends, alive.

The problem is getting enough people actually on board. You run the risk of introducing a spoiler. Unfortunately, this change needs to happen bottom up

Who are your trusted sources? And why?

There's always a bit of "what are they not saying" when following news outlets. So I'm just curious what your perspective is.

(38 mill/3.1bil)*100=1.2258 roughly

Is France OK?

I thought I saw something about that but didn't remember where or look further into it. I just didn't want to register as either of the big 2. How do we link up independent voters to a new party? We don't have to play democrat/republican in the long game if we can get enough people on board to shift the board.

I recognize this will take time and considerable effort, but I think a new party with a clean history would do this country good. Who is the outside team that's got some momentum that we can build on? (albeit not for this prez cycle, sadly)

And finding quality ones that will last a long time is more difficult than you might think.

Many of them are made cheaply.

I can understand that. Given even edge runs a modified chromium if I recall correctly, everything is being developed for that. I use edge since its built in when sites aren't working, which isn't often for me. That said, on my work laptop, I use exclusively edge.

What's wrong with Firefox? They've been around a long time and are currently in a good spot as far as speed/compatibility goes

Even if I lived across the street from my office, I would still prefer to work from my home.

My only concern is that they'd decide he's a martyr and claim the deep state killed him.....

Seriously, is there no way out of this bs?

I kinda don't want to respond since maybe I say something that is misconstrued, so let me preface by saying this: Please don't fuck or engage sexually in any way with teens.

I get the attraction since that's the period human hormones go crazy, but that should fade over time in my opinion. As you get older that age group will appear more and more like what they are, kids. 18 is barely out of high school in most cases. You should also avoid being around them since proximity has an effect on attraction.

Development is complex so I understand there are maturity arguments that can be made on a case by case basis, at least in theory, but in practice, it's just not worth it. More than likely you will hurt someone that thought they were mature but didn't fully understand something. At worst you will ruin their life and your own.

Anecdotal, being from Louisiana, this is what I've been pressured with my entire life.
