This bit is slightly less removed from reality than the average SovCit rant. The collateral is the house, but the piece of paper (deed/lien) says who legally owns the house. Without that documentation, the bank wouldn't accept the fact that a house merely exists, as collateral for the loan.
But like any good SovCit, they take the grain of truth and try to fill a canyon with it.
Brief moment when the black vote mostly got ahead of voter disenfranchisement efforts.
This wasn't too long after MLK's assassination, and Montgomery was a major target of his efforts to increase black voter registration.
"Hey this is CVS, we have your prescription ready"
[Go to CVS]
"Oh, we received the prescription from your doctor but it isn't filled yet. Can we fill it now? No, come back in 2 hours."
I still have a sound card, because I have a stupid sound bar that works great except it only takes optical audio input.
Prob aren't getting severance nor unemployment if you get fired for 2 weeks of no-call-no-show.
alarmist, cost, growth, “India and China,” innovation, and resilience
"China is the worst polluter on the planet and they need to do better"
[China invests heavily into green technologies]
"NO NOT LIKE THAT!"
Because unemployment isn't really that low. When we talk about "people here now who could use those jobs", we're usually talking about people in dead end jobs that could use a career job.
So great, pull them into our elder care system, give them a career level up...now their old jobs are still unfilled. And while we're super shitty as a country towards entry level service workers, we also as a country really want those jobs to be filled. So we'd need to fill that gap in the employment pool somehow.
It's the "all your eggs in one basket" problem.
Just in case you misread the title (because I did at first), Namibia is explicitly not looking into other people's pants now.
Why did it take until 2024? Humans being humans, I guess. Gotta go after some "other".
While I agree with the sentiment here, this is pretty 1-dimensional. For one, US support of Ukraine actually has little to do with democracy and everything to do with national sovereignty. One nation with imperial ambitions invaded another nation without pretense, US provides aid to stave off that invasion.
Hypocritical given US history of imperialism? Sure. But it's NOT imperialism under the mask of democracy.
Similar arguments apply to various points on this list. Supporting NATO is about maintaining a military alliance against common enemies, not spreading democracy.
"How long has it been since we've waltzed?"
"Oh, Gomez...hours."
Could be worse. Denmark is similarly flat, but has a manmade ski hill...built on top of a trash heap. They've got it worse for "goofy attempts at raising their maximum elevation"
Palm "trees" are a type of grass. That one fucks with me.
The coriolis force affects water in toilets, but about a thousandth as much as the shape of the toilet/the way water enters the bowl.
