I mean she's unlikely to damage too much. Actual diplomacy stuff is done by grunts at the state department. She's just a face and one that's been playing political games for a while. Any damage she can do is well overshadowed by what the orange will do.

Labor is the largest cost to pretty much any company. Food margins are notoriously low that's true but in theory with slightly raised prices and volume (because of the increase people have more money) it can equal or beat the profit beforehand.

When the wealthy get money they hoard it. When the poor get money they spend it on all the things they'd been cutting back on to stay afloat such as going out to eat.

There would be some point where this stops holding true and inflation just screws everything but we're a ways off that point.

And Trump snorts Adderall like crazy. Republicans wouldn't have a platform if they weren't just to be contrarian hypocrits

Biden is silent gen, the generation before boomers.

But yeah all the old politicians clinging to the levers of power because they're selfish is a part of what has led us to this point.

Legal for the judge to be involved in a business yes. Not ethical for the judge to make rulings about that business but that requires ethics and morals and thanks to Rs even the US Supreme Court doesn't have that.

Below scotus level theoretically judges can censure other judges but idk that process.

"Politely" is doubtful. Same guy who told his advertisers to go fuck themselves and now is suing them for not using his platform anymore.

This is probably one of the most egregious reasons that civil rights photos are in black and white in the textbooks despite color cameras having been a well-established thing by then. To make it seem like it was long ago when it was/is still quite recent. RedliningYour textbooks are made in Texas and the publishers therefore use Texan standards nearly everywhere...Educational material should not be made in red states.

Knowing apple fans, it will work.

Because a bunch of government and business uses 10 and they really don't want "Recall AI" in there for a plethora of reasons.

The danger to trans kids can't be understated more in your comment. Outing a kid to parents against their transition is a good way to get them shunned and bullied to homelessness and/or death. Unsupported and bullied kids have astronomically higher rate of suicide, homelessness, and just plain chances of being murdered like that Oklahoma trans teenager recently.

Teachers can support a kid in coming out to their parents or out the kid to their parents based on their judgement rather than being required to do so. Your child has a right to privacy as well, depending on age and whether the secret harms others. Being trans at the point where they want to change their name is usually a high-school thing and being trans isn't harming anyone.
