The complaints of rising housing costs should be alleviated. Although there are probably a lot of people under water on their mortgages now. Perfect for private equity to snatch up.
I don't think companies should be able to use the recycling symbol unless they can ensure that the majority of what they produce gets recycled.
And in California, state law is expected to restrict the chasing arrows for most packaging made of plastic, unless there’s evidence that the plastic is widely collected and turned into new products within the state.
Compared to Russia, Ukraine is a free and fair democracy. They are much higher on the democracy index compared to Russia. The parts under the Russian regime are currently far from it though.
Ukrainians were winning the war with US support?
Considering Russia is having to use third rate mercenaries and troops from around the world, clearly Putin knows that the Russian populace does not have the appetite to keep losing 1-2k every day. He is hard up enough to have to get a week's worth of casualties from North Korea. They may be making territorial gains but that is at a massive cost.
That and the fact that he thought it was a good idea to throw an ax at a small target that had people behind. And his white supremacist tattoo. And the dude does not wash his hands after he shits. It'd be a shame if he and RFK Jr got cholera and/or hep C.
It can be argued that the Kennedy tax cuts paid for themselves. Other examples like the Baltic states that switched to a flat income tax and sales tax is more due to moving to something simple and more difficult to cheat.
Other than that, Laffer (famous for the Laffer Curve which was foundational to trickle down economics) and apparently the Kansas legislature are the only ones that think tax cuts for the rich help.
Again??? Do people have collective fucking amnesia? Massive tax cuts failed horribly a decade ago and ruined Kansas' growth. Trying it again is just batshit.
You do realize those territories are not just land, right? There are millions of Ukrainians that live on that land that will now be under a dictator.
Zelenskiyy almost certainly realizes that without American support, which will almost certainly be ending, it's a lost war. But at least you seem to recognize that Putin does not care about the 2000 Russian casualties that happen every day and would prefer to put millions of Ukrainians under his thumb.
I wish they would cite numbers proving this. Usage on another platform does not necessarily indicate an exodus. Bluesky may have seen a jump in users by a million but that only puts it up to 17 million users which is not much compared to Twitter's 250 million daily users.
Thank god. Release the Ethics report. Bury him.
