I'm back to calling it Twitter. (Not that I'm ever on it though.)

When the choices are: 1) profit, or 2) profit

Why not do both? /s

Mrs Justice

That term looked like a typo. Some research just now taught me that, in fact, that's one way female judges may be formally addressed. Here's another...

High court judge is first to be formally addressed as Ms Justice

...and still have money left over to "lobby" for easier regulations!

And this kids, is why we have government regulations - to protect citizens.

"That population is not demanding anything of Republicans."

Even more reason for the US to no longer support them in their holy war.

Using the Garvey campaign logic, I should make an excellent pro baseball player. My qualifications: a nice smile, bouts of financial difficulty, at least one divorce, kids that don't like me, no knowledge of baseball rules.

'Can't wait to try on that uniform!!!

Came here to say the same thing. Moderate? Try greedy conservative instead.

"In a study we conducted after the release of the proposed rule, consumers indicated they would be less willing to buy meals re-designed to meet the proposed criteria compared to our current 'healthy' meals," the company said.

So they're fine with selling unhealthy food then? Weird that their business model includes shortening the lives of their customers.

Non-filers making between $400,000 and more than $1 million with unfiled federal returns from tax years 2017 to 2021 will receive the initial round of letters

Blows my mind that people earning that much aren't filing their taxes. It's hard to imagine that they're oblivious to the requirement, so they're just blatant cheaters?

What helped me was to eat better. In general my health improved by getting further away from a SAD (Standard American Diet): no meat, only occasional fish, lots of vegetables, much fewer processed foods. But what might be the most important was to replace sugar with local and/or unfiltered honey. (Maybe its pollen immunized me from certain allergies that started the infections?) I haven't had a sinus infection for months, almost years now.

"But these things are not enough. It might sound counterintuitive, but the goal of any Green New Deal should not be economic growth but rather the slowing down of the economy. Measures to stop climate change cannot double as ways to further economic growth. Indeed, the less such measures aim to grow the economy, the higher the possibility they’ll work."

But climate change isn't real. No way that could be a factor. /s

Cuba used to be heavily subsidized by Russia. I wonder if there's any connection between Cuba's request and Russia's expensive invasion of Ukraine.

"criminal possession of a financial device"

'Had to look up what is considered a financial device...

Under 18-5-702 CRS, it is a criminal offense in Colorado to use, possess, or manufacture a blank credit card. Unlawful use of a financial transaction device encompasses credit cards, debit cards, ATM cards, or other financial devices. This crime can be a petty offense, misdemeanor, or a felony.''

If this is true, how can detractors claim any moral high ground over violent protesters when Israel is using violence against those in Gaza?

...beans work too!

I had to look up where Kiribati is (about half way between Australia and Hawaii). Yet another place were the US is projecting power, but in response to China doing the same.

This kind of comment is why I'm on Lemmy. I abhor the policy of the US to support Israel without question, and feel that Biden has let the world down by not calling out the crimes being committed now. But I hadn't considered how this might be used by Republican supporters to divide Democratic support. It sure makes sense. Thanks for posting this viewpoint.
