Will you fuck off? I voted for Biden in the main election, but people who think we can't be critical of politicians we otherwise support are a serious barrier to things actually improving.

I was never talking about the sick time, because it doesn't in any way contradict that Biden ended the strikes. I've made it clear enough that a 5yo could understand that when Biden signed that, the strike could not continue as a legal strike, and therefore ended. You are just a troll.

I literally just did, read the article.

After biden signed that the strike would have been illegal if it continued. Idk what you think it means when a signed order by a government official declares that something cannot be done anymore, but I tend to describe that as making the thing that cannot be done anymore "illegal". If they had continued the strike, it would have been what is known as a wildcat strike.

Unless you are just gunna be a troll about it and do that thing where you refuse to look at evidence while constantly demanding more evidence. Then just fuck off

There are ways to do that that don't include a middleman that tries to legally swindle customers

Everything I've read said it had very little to do with concern for the consumer. As I understand it, car dealerships lobbied for these laws because, according to them, the manufacturers were being anti-competative and squeezing car dealers out of business. So the laws were passed to protect "small" dealers from big car manufacturers, not to protect the consumers.

But now they use that ubiquity to get higher prices through shady tactics. It needs changed again, this time in favor of the consumer.

Yeesh.

Man, I am so tired of feeling broke all the time... But I'd still rather get a used car than do that.

That is why I'm arguing for not celebrating this way of handling problems. Executions, even official ones that are done "correctly" by the state, often kill innocent people. And, as you said, people that have directly commited a crime still deserve their rights.

Situations like this, where no one wants to see a killer like that get away, it becomes easier to overlook bad policing, and everyone should make a conscious effort try and hold police to a higher standard to do things properly.

Yeah, almost all sports. Although maybe you don't consider physical proportions and stuff like that "talent" exactly.

Car dealerships. They are awful on purpose. In many places car manufacturers are not legally allowed to sell their cars directly to customers, in order to create what is essentially legally mandated car dealerships, which all suck.

Idk who told conservatives about libraries but if we had just kept quiet about them they never would have even realized they still existed.

Now they are complaining about libraries having books in them. They won't be happy until they are empty concrete rooms. Such a pitiful shame they can't see the objective value of libraries.

To be clear, the thing being talked about in the article was not a ppp loan, but a grant. There is no indication anyone, intended recipient or not, is supposed to pay this one back

Do you not remember this happening? Did you not know what it meant?

When Biden did that he ended the legal strike against the wishes of the rail workers. If they wanted to continue their strike it would have been illegal. Idk how else I can phrase this to make it even more explicitly clear.

Yeah it is really easy to fall for the schadenfreude when a POS gets got by cops but don't forget cops are wrong about who did what all the fucking time...

I hope they weren't wrong here...
