The issue is, as always, how to enforce.

Anything other than self enforcement means political interference.

"Late Stage Intellectual Property"

Don't have a clear definition yet, but the phrase feels zeitgeisty.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

β€œI spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

"Illegal Alien" is oxymoronic this way.

But so is "Intellectual Property"

We live with a lot of that.

"Earned Billions"

Just claiming to not be surprised isn't much of an explanation.

Neither is "everything always sucks"

But in my experience most people don't care much for more nuanced explanations any better.

IMO people who claim to not be surprised and so why should you be..

Are using that stance as a way to deal with their own feelings.

Don't know about others, but I've learned enough history to know things have as awful or even worse at many points in the past.

And I don't believe people are intrinsically any better than they were in past.

But I would never scold someone for not sharing my perspective. Expectations vary.

I do agree, but my feed has plenty of harsh words for Trump as it is 🫀

Yes, Trump clearly doesn't want to. But what does he want?

If he really was "Putin's puppet," he would have dropped all sanctions and hard cut all aid to Ukraine including intelligence sharing.

But he hasn't done that either.

Trump is easy to manipulate, that's about all that's certain.

Zelenskky doing what he must to help his people.

Trump doing what he must to feel a little bit less awful about himself.

I might well be surprised.

But even dark red areas have blue voters..and.. oh you know

I see Russia spending more money and manpower repairing the facilities.

And I see Russians becoming less confident in Putins ability to protect them.

Those must be worth something, in the opinion of Ukrainian leaders.

Put a lifelong criminal in the WH, confirm his lackeys, and watch him dismantle the justice system.

Thank the NYT for invaluable assistance in that effort.

Now back to my toast with butter emails.

ACA was a devils bargain that way.. a very popular but temporary reprieve.

I suspect more hospital workers are in the 30% than not.

That's the money question, isn't it?

I suspect there *is* no Dem message that will work on these folk. They've been trained to hate Dems.

If they're already in poor health and voting GOP 70%, could be that in even worse health the GOP gets 80% or 90%.

IME in corpo land, orders aren't really necessary.

Employees are regularly filtered to ensure they fit in.
