And a large part of the price increases people are struggling with are food and housing. It's not like you can wait till next year to eat or have a place to live.

Trump has abdicated all rights to be considered human.

Shooting sailors in the water after their boat has been sunk is literally the example the military gives of an illegal order. This was made a war crime specifically in response to Nazis doing this exact thing in WW2.

It would actually be pretty funny to send them the data they want but only from districts that voted Republican. (Of course they shouldn't ACTUALLY do this but the idea is appealing).

We really need to stop electing people who think following the law is optional.

I work a public job, so I used to get colds a couple times a year. Started taking daily D supplements and I rarely ever get sick anymore. Never got COVID either.

It's more like walking on train tracks and being surprised when you are hit by a train.

Plants only absorb CO² and release oxygen when photosynthesizing, which requires sunlight. At night plants undergo cellular respiration where they absorb oxygen and release CO². Some sealed terrariums haven't had any water, air, or fertilizer for decades.

The share of pedestrians increased over that period, which may have had something to do with it. I suspect cell phone use while driving makes up a large part as well.

It would be more economical to pay for people to relocate and train them for new jobs. There's plenty of room in cities and suburbs for the displaced. To be clear, I'm not talking about getting rid of towns of 5000; I'm talking about towns of a population of 500 or less.

Hey, if they want to stay when the water, electric, sewage, roads, fire department, police, and all other publicly subsidized services are removed they are welcome to it. We all shouldn't have to pay because a handful of people can't adjust to the century they live in.

The idea that eating carrots helps your eyesight came from WW2 Britain. It was an intentionally spread lie to cover up for the fact that they had radar.
