They’re just excited the person isn’t half dead.

She wasn’t able to get a nomination through the standard channels. They had to put her in the back because they felt she was damaging Biden approval ratings.

He approval rate is low.

More people disprove than approve.

I proudly voted for Obama Kamala is not Obama. She’s not Clinton. Hell she’s not even a Joe Biden.

The president isn’t in charge of COVID. States are in charge of COVID. Pandemics are handled by the states with help from the federal government. BLM protest are once again state issues. I’m not sure why so many Americans don’t understand how the government is run. Presidents are not dictators. They are limited by the constitution and laws.

No why is the split so close? Harris isn’t a good candidate. She’s wildly unpopular and has been for years. He policies are horrible and the average American doesn’t want them. They are the opposite of what Americans want.

Biden has always been fairly unpopular. I’ve always thought the guy was an idiot but he isn’t far left. He fairly moderate to Leaning a little right.

We also have a large red/blue divide in this country and presidents are picked by the EC.

Trump is a horrible candidate but things ran well when he was in office. People will remember that.

The short version is we are running two awful candidates and that’s why the elections are close.

Not sure who those people are but they don’t seem well versed on the topic.

If you haven’t read the most recent SCOTUS ruling. It foreshadows their views on the topic. SCOTUS determines want is constitutional.

There hs enough case law from scotus to point to wealth taxes as being unconstitutional

Judges have immunity. So the lawsuit won’t go anywhere.

It’s amazing how immunity people in power have

Wealth taxes are unconstitutional in the United States. It would require an amendment to change that.

Capital gains should just be taxed an ordinary income. That would solve a lot of issues such as Medicare, social security, etc.

He just put an injunction in place which is common. It just means the case has to be decided first.

If he’s accusing them of venue shopping. I suspect he’s going to rule against them.

Considering they don’t fly. Pretty hard.

Used in the context you claim, it’s even more of an idiotic thing to say.

The company is being fined. It’s a real penalty. Since we don’t know how much product was sold, we don’t how punitive it is but damn, when the government gets a win you take it.

Well they should pick up a dictionary and learn what the word means.

Write off means write off the books. Otherwise it makes no sense as that the dictionary term for the phrase. You can’t write off a fine. It isn’t “written off”.

Real the whole paragraph. It’s idiotic talk

On a handful of products? Doubtful.

At least the government gave them a fine which is a step in the right direction. Country of origin is important to me. I buy based on those labels

Did they make 200 million selling those products ?

Really depends on the value of the products sold. The find should be double or triple that to have any impact.

Personally I avoid buying anything made in China. Too much risk if it’s something I’ll touch all the time. Too much lead and chemicals in their products.

Fines are not tax deductible. So no it’s not a cost of doing business.

I work in medium tech. Since they have to compete for talent. We get the high pay and work life flexibility. It’s much better than large tech. I would never go work for a Microsoft , Amazon or Google. Not worth it.

How weird since they sold it to him. Where do you think they want him to drink it?

Only if that job was remote because of the disability.

Otherwise, no.

My family is southern; everyone has a different name than their birth name. It is either picked or assigned by others.

That Is what I tell people about trans people. Just call them what they want to be called, just as you want to be called what you want to be called. It’s not that hard.
