I knew I shouldn't have included this part. I should have just left the second half that wasn't quoted. Oh well.


(though interesting that restricting age is possible.)

XXVI: “The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.”

Every last one of the GOP state voter restriction laws violates this amendment.

Republicans only care about passing laws related to the budget/taxes, so 50 votes + VP is all they ever need to advance their agenda/priorities. If Democrats only gave a flying fuck about the budget/taxes, Manchin’s cycle would result in more legislation too. I’m still holding out hope Democrats push one more decent budget reconciliation package through this year. I’m more worried about Sinema than Manchin, assuming this bipartisan infrastructure bill actually passes the House/Senate. Sanders’ $6 trillion bill doesn’t stand a chance, but anything over a couple trillion from new spending will help many a need.

Gotta do everything we can to stop the Republican threat to democracy.

But don't question Suzy's motives for anything. She's off limits. Not part of the problem. She's the solution.

When is Congress going to address the issue of Amazon? Article is from the NYT in case you want to open in incognito.

Why would they...it isnt like the average person cares. The laziness and selfishness of Americans is best exemplified by Amazon. They don't care how much Bezos makes or how crappy he treats his employees as long as people can get their crap for $.40 cheaper and delivered in two days. This goes double on Prime Day...

(and yes I am guilty of it too, though I am trying to ween off it)

Amazon is the reductio ad absurdum of WalMart.

Give me convenience or give me death!

Exactly like choosing an airline flight: People *say* they care about legroom, customer service, drinks, snacks, window seats, boarding priority, baggage allowances, etc. When it comes time to actually buy the ticket, like rats in a cage we all pull the lever for the $10 cheaper fare. Airlines know this, so they continually move to eliminate the costly things that consumers repeatedly prove that they don't care about so they can be the ones offering that $10 cheaper fare. Consumers blame the airlines for the resulting race to the bottom, but they ought to be looking in the mirror instead.

Yeah...I used to be one of those especially since Sun Country is a local carrier. The prices were always cheaper than Delta, although the flight selection usually sucked. Then they started charging for bags, then they made the "acceptable" carry on smaller. Then they stopped giving snacks half the time. Then they started charging for more...it got to the point that the "discount" airline was same cost OR MORE EXPENSIVE!

I am all for supporting local vs. national and smaller vs. EVIL CORP but if you make a crappy product bite me I am out.

The three chief negotiators on a police reform package announced Thursday they had reached a bipartisan agreement on the issue.

"After months of working in good faith, we have reached an agreement on a framework addressing the major issues for bipartisan police reform," Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J) said in a joint statement Thursday afternoon.
