He's a moron that doesn't understand economics and ignores the advice of anybody smarter than him (which is pretty much everyone). He has an incredibly simplistic concept of how domestic markets work and doesn't even remotely understand international trade. All he sees is the word "deficit" in "trade deficit" and thinks that means the US isn't getting paid for its exports. It's why he's so hung up on the concept of tariffs (which also don't work like he thinks they do).

The only thing Trump has ever understood is how to rip people off. If he had been born to someone poor Trump would be running the sleaziest used car lot for a thousand miles around somewhere.

Don't forget medical expenses as well. The cost of living in the US has been on the rise for decades while wages have remained flat. The simple reality is while the US economy has continued to improve, only the rich have benefited from that and it's approaching the point where the majority of the US population literally can not afford to live in the US. The oligarchs are going to be forced to share that wealth or the entire US economy will collapse and they won't like what happens when a large, angry, and very well armed population decides they're tired of living off the crumbs that fall off the plates of an incredibly tiny group of the ultra wealthy.

Isn't it an international human rights violation to make somebody stateless? For that matter is there literally any legal mechanism in the US to strip citizenship from someone once it has been granted?

This is the first I've heard of the neoliberals being driven out of the DNC and frankly I find it a bit hard to believe. Outside of the win in NY I haven't heard of any other significant shakeups in the party, and frankly the number of politicians in the DNC you'd need to oust to dislodge the neoliberals makes me think I'd have heard something.

Just going to ignore everything I said that proves you wrong? OK, you do you and keep being wrong, I'll keep driving legally and keep my perfect driving record.

The only good thing about all this I suppose is I learned not needing to use turn signals in turn only lanes is a unique thing to my state, it seems like most other states do require them.

Anyway if all you're going to do is keep saying wrong and re-quote the same debunked statement there's not really anything left to say.

Because the Republican/Libertarian dogma is that government does not work and is inherently wasteful, that only private corporations are efficient and good. Their goal is to destroy the entire government and replace it all with private contractors doing the same thing for more money and half as well. Ignoring the fact that they are themselves government workers, and that there are many necessary services that explicitly should not be run to maximize profits, they're also fundamentally wrong that the government is somehow uniquely wasteful and inefficient. It's just one of many false beliefs they have, the biggest and most damaging of which being the idea of trickle down economics.

Turn signals are required, but not in a turn only lane. The question asked and answered wasn't what's being talked about here. Also it's trivially demonstrable that turn signals are not required "anytime you are changing direction" in your vehicle otherwise you'd be constantly turning them off and on just driving down any random road as it curves back and forth. They're required when you depart one lane for a different one. In a turn only lane you never depart the lane, it just becomes another lane. Finally quoting cops is a terrible defense as cops are per court decisions not actually required to know the law which is super fucked up, but that's an entirely different discussion.

The clauses apply if the first one does which it doesn't. Since you're never turning from a direct course you don't need to signal in the manner the following clauses describe. Since you're never leaving the direct course, there's no need to signal otherwise you'd need to use your turn signal every time you turn the wheel on your car even if you're just following the road (which is what you're doing in a turn only lane). You need to signal when entering the turn lane, but once in the lane you're just following the lane (the direct course) and therefore don't need to signal.

You mean the guy known to creep on underage girls, who insisted on barging into their changing rooms, who made inappropriate comments about his own daughter when she was under age, and who frequently hung out with the guy that was a known paedophile and was known to prostitute underage girls to his rich friends, doesn't want to talk about what he was doing with him all that time?

Gee, I wonder why.

Yes because it's irrelevant. The first clause failing means subsequent clauses don't apply. Because a signal isn't necessary it doesn't matter how far back you don't signal for.

The fundamental flaw with the phone system is it's all or nothing. It's difficult to get in, but once you're in there's zero controls (DNS used to and somewhat still does also suffer from this).

TL;DR: Small study of only 3 out of 100 brands on the market, so limited inference can be drawn but cheap construction leaches toxic substances into the liquid in ways that older non-disposable vapes don't. In terms of health risk non-disposable vapes are best followed by a tie between traditional cigarettes and disposable vapes.

Looks awesome, but unfortunately seems to only be for the UK and EU. I wish the US market would get something similar.

The only law in my state that requires usage of turn signals states this:

No person may turn a vehicle from a direct course or move right or left upon a highway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety, and then only after giving an appropriate signal in the manner hereinafter provided, in the event any other vehicle may be affected by the movement.

The key there is "direct course". The direct course in a dedicated turn lane is the turn, so no signal is required. If it's a turn or straight lane it is required as in that case the direct course is straight.

That is literally the only thing keeping me from installing Graphene on my phone.

I stated there wasn't a law.

You can't prove a negative. You cite the law that says you need to use a turn signal in a turn only lane. Or are you full of shit?

Ah, OK might be a Canadian thing then. There is no law in the US that requires usage of a turn signal in a turn only lane. I didn't pull a law from my ass, you're pulling one from yours, or rather I'm talking about US law and it seems you're talking about Canadian.

What law, that's the point, no law requires usage of a turn signal in a turn only lane. There is no law that requires that and a driving test is testing that you're following the laws. It's the same as if you turned on your turn signal in a straight lane and then didn't change lanes.

No it isn't, you're not required by law to use a turn signal in a turn only lane. If I was giving a driving test I'd fail you for using a turn signal in the turn only lane as it demonstrates you don't know the law.
