Thanks for sharing, I feel like people forget we're all just people at the end of the day.

It it's like the other recent votes, it's actually republicans turning out to vote for democrats. I think both Florida and Michigan(?) had less democrats and more republicans turning out, meaning that republicans are turning on the party.

That's pretty diverse. And yeah, I don't think even Trump knows what's going to happen.

I thought most clothing was now made in Vietnam and Indonesia?

I think a lot of people are arguing this was the natural outcome. That if you looked at what he was going to do, the only plausible outcome was higher prices.

While he promised lower prices, it was obvious he had no plans to actually achieve it. So if you used any bit of intelligence, it was obvious a vote for him would lead to this outcome, meaning you voted for this.

Yeah, threatening to veto just means it would eventually need more votes (but I doubt he'd veto it).

In more simple terms, Trump can't prevent congress from passing laws about tariffs.

All he can do is make it more difficult, by requiring a higher percentage of the legislature vote on it.

This is more about the type of ID you need mixed with the cost/effort of acquiring that ID.

Essentially, changes to ID laws impact voting by:

• Making voting cost money - the government doesn't provide these IDs for free
• Making voting cost more time - getting theses IDs may require people (especially women who have changed names) to spend time navigating the beuracracy to get all the documents they need for the new ID requirements

At the end of the day, voting should be free and people shouldn't be penalized for how they do it. These kinds of laws try to make voting time intensive and expensive, meaning many people may not be able to vote.

Hopefully that means it was worth it!

I always wonder how many of these are actually just patches behind the scene to fix viral trends. Or even more devious, they use the viral trends to patch a specific failure point to make it feel like progress is being made.

Oh shoot, which ones cannonical?

Yeah, that seems like the boom before the bust. I know even personally I've been buying some things before they become hard to get.

Shoot, haven't seen the second season of Loki.

Thanks, that's good to know.

My issue is I still need to see the second Deadpool, I suspect some of it is MW has a lower barrier to entry.

5.3 is the number in default, there are a lot more with student debt in general (online resources say around 42 million).

I also think the article mentions there are millions more at risk of being in debt, but that's a whole other can of worms cause (as is the case with Trump and Republicans) communication about loan repayment is unclear.

Same, it took an hour or two to click, but once it did it was a lot of fun.

I initially hated eternal, but stuck with it because of how good 2016 was. Glad I did because it's a blast once you get the flow of things.

If that were the case he wouldn't be in power anymore. Either enough people don't understand or don't believe it.

The issue the OC is talking about isn't something you can just walk back and take your winnings. Owning the husk of a once great economy isn't really a great outcome.

I don't think anyone understands that if he ousts Powell/gets his interest rate lowered, we're looking at a depression or worse. That kind of economic crisis has the potential to ruin literally anyone, including the wealthy/elites.

I mean, that's exactly why the checks and balances were set up this way. The founding fathers assumed no one branch would want to concede to another. Really it's congress fucking it all up right now.
