Donated the max to Obama in 2008, but then she appeared in a video to support Romney in 2012, that was part of a $10 million fundraiser the night it aired. Later she said she hadn't made up her mind who to vote for in 2012.
Index funds, such as those run by Vanguard, are required by their own policy to hold all the components of the stock index that they track, and DJT.O was added to a major index.
The moment the company drops in value and falls out of the index is the same moment the index funds sell their holdings of it.
BlackRock is a huge hedge fund though.
The real batshit crazy part is that DJT.O was somehow deemed valuable enough to be included in an index despite having almost no revenue.
The only thing keeping the stock value up is the MAGA crazies pumping their money into it, magically thinking it'll become profitable and make them rich.
Ideally there should be anti-gerrymandering propositions to repair the apportionment of state legislatures, because those would benefit from a broader voter turnout as well. Because that's how the ridiculous anti-abortion laws were rammed through to begin with.
What does that say about the US policy about children and families?
Don't want to pay to feed and educate them here. It's cheaper to import low-skill workers from elsewhere. Then implement harsh employment conditions to suppress their wages.
As for education, that's what the H1-B program is for.
Saves a lot of money by importing pre-educated professionals instead of paying domestic teachers and their pesky unions. /s
The corollary is that a book has to be in-print, or commercially distributed in e-book form, to have any sales.
If neither new printed copies, or commercially sold e-books are available, then taking down pirate sites, or even an archive like archive.org, only diminishes the collection and availability of human knowledge and literature.
SCOTUS soon to rule that if heat, vermin, and disease are common enough, they're no longer "unusual" and therefore comply with "originalist" interpretation of the Constitution that specifies that a punishment must be both cruel and unusual to be unconstitutional.
The discrimination towards black farmers to deny them federal loans, subsidies, and other funding assistance, that white farmers got easily was heartbreaking.
It rains a lot in some parts of India, hence the existence of the jungle where she was chained.
Maybe she survived by drinking puddles of rainwater within her range of movement?
That may not be enough water to sustain her forever, but it would extend her survival.
That, and lack of water and food can lead to delirium which can lead to losing sense of time.
She might have picked "40 days" as a Bible reference. That's a pretty common number that represents a long time in western culture, even if they're not directly referencing the Bible.
Trump is just the latest development of the conservative takeover plan that started with Reagan, and Lee Atwater's Southern strategy in the 80s.
Republicans have been on the wrong side of just about everything since then.
Heck, even famous conservative asshole Nixon was foresighted enough to sign the EPA into existence in the 70s.
