Because it's a pretty normal detail to go unmentioned when discussing minimum wage. That detail has always been the case, at least as far as I'm aware.

I'm pretty sure tip workers still have the lower minimum base wage.

To my knowledge the problem isn't getting together the funds for any single "contribution", it's having the funds to pay the politician off over and over again. Sure, half a million dollars sounds like a lot more than a hundred thousand, but how many times can that half million be successfully crowdfunded? It's much more reliable for the politicians to just accept the smaller but more consistent "contributions" from the more wealthy parties.

On top of that, outright bribery is illegal, attempting something like that is liable to get you arrested.

Is that going to kill the need for the various modloaders?

Not quite, deletion from a hard drive also unflags the space the data was located at as being in use, so it will be overwritten eventually so long as the drive continues to have things written to it. Simply flagging something as being archived means that information will remain on the server indefinitely, the exact opposite of what is intended by a delete button.

This political violence is not a series of isolated incidents and does not emerge organically. Instead, it is a culmination of sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats, and violence designed to silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society.

A quote directly from the order in question, oh how correct it is.

So, I do not believe that is a thing. Apparently there are some wind turbines with diesel generators attached somewhere, but it's not for that reason. Offshore wind seems to have them in case they get disconnected from the grid because they rely on some power to protect themselves from ocean air, and apparently a wind array in Scottland had some to keep the turbines from freezing over. Frankly though there just isn't room in the turbine's housing to keep a whole diesel engine, at least most of the time.

What?

And the same thing is happening to hospitals all over the US, which should fucking terrify you.

Hey hey, don't lump the satanists in with these pieces of shit, they are actually generally pretty cool in my experience.

Funny enough that actually wouldn't be more efficient of a compression algorithm, the size of the file reference would be at best exactly the same size as the image that is being referenced, just because any fewer bits would lead to duplicate reference locations.

I would guess there are two reasons: a) Alex Jones isn't making public appearances to my knowledge, and b) Jones has already been pretty well destroyed by the legal system.
