The forest garden description is very similar to what I have seen described as a “permaculture forest” elsewhere.

I’m glad some of the justices finally located their consciences, but I’m afraid this will end up being too little too late.

No, it’s one of the first Linux distributions

I’m not vegetarian but this looks amazing and I’m going to give it a shot.

I struggle with suicidal ideation every day, so…maybe?

Reagan did borderline rape a 19 year old aspiring actress, promising to get her into meetings with producers, a week before he married Nancy Davis.

There are people on the left who critique the myth of the nuclear family that was pushed starting in the 1950’s, but that’s not what that quote is about.

It’s way creepier and unethical than a harem.

If all he was doing was basically paying women to fuck him, that would be maybe unsavory but not terribly weird.

He’s promising to pay women to bear his children, but uses artificial insemination if they agree to it. Then he sends them an NDA and if they won’t sign he claims the baby isn’t his.

Fired and jailed. That statement is a legal document, it should be assumed that the police officer is under oath when writing it, and therefore has perjured himself.

I’m trying to think of how cheap it would have to be for me to drive one of these monstrosities and it would have to be something like $-50K/year.

Pay me a lower middle class salary and I will drive your piece of shit electric truck.

Unexpected Vonnegut.

According to The Dawn of Everything, there is evidence of multiple instances where societies developed agriculture and then discarded it.

Reading this is like reading anti-drug propaganda from the 90’s. Like, sure there are concerns about young people, especially boys, getting radicalized online. But the coverage is so lurid and skewed that it loses credibility.

Cory Doctorow has made a pretty convincing argument that in your real specifically, all designs should be open source. That way, if a company goes bankrupt or simply stops supporting a device, like (say) an implant that allows them to see, or a pacemaker, or whatever, they can pursue repairs without the help of the OEM.

I think Disney might have a few things to say about that.

Along with every other film studio, record company, publisher, video game studio…

…engineering firm, architecture firm…

…pharma company, law firm…

Mammals DO suck, presumably on herpetology’s truly impressive mammae.

He took a hard shit and had another fifteen mininstrokes?

I think that’s actually a pretty common view, just not often loudly professed by people with power or platforms.

Yeah, look at any number of things (including Medicaid implementation) that have been left up to the states and what a complete dumpster fire they are.

ITT: people who don’t understand that Medicaid is not Medicare, and that means-testing means a service isn’t “for all.”

Editing to add: Medicaid is funded mostly by the federal government, 69% vs 31% funding from the state. So even if it wasn’t means-tested (one has to have an income below a certain amount, or be disabled to a certain degree before qualifying) it would not meet OP’s definition, a single payer health insurance system funded by the state.

To answer OP’s question, a state funded single payer health insurance program would likely run afoul of the Commerce Clause of the constitution which states the federal government has jurisdiction over interstate commerce. UHC, Aetna, and other nation-wide insurance companies would absolutely sue over the state programs interfering with their right to conduct interstate commerce, and they would almost certainly win, even without a hard right SCOTUS like the current one.
