If you are as smart and educated as Carl Sagan, I’m sure weed isn’t doing the heavy lifting.
Yes, working instead of going to college.
In all honesty it’s not really even a punishment. It’s paying the community back for causing it harm.
Except the child slave labor part would go away.
That’s the neat part, the republicans are trying to repeal child labor laws.
The problem is that unorganized resistance is impossible. It will result in martyrs and nothing more. No one wants to be a martyr for a doomed cause except fanatics who aren’t much use to anyone. And most people are willing to endure extreme pains if it means they get to live. The tipping point comes when there is a plausible way out through resistance. That has not yet show itself.
Organizing is difficult because it must be secret. The US government is proficient in infiltrating and destroying organized resistance and countering the same. (See all the revolutions it has fucked over the years.) An open rebellion will be quashed immediately with the media demonizing any participants.
To the extent that there is a successful or potentially successful resistance, we will not hear about it until it makes a major move. It will then be destroyed or rallied behind depending on how it deals with propoganda and whether it can garner general public support.
A military coup by a high ranking officer who takes their oath to uphold the constitution seriously is more likely to succeed. But such a person is likely not to exist because of the right wing nature of the military in the US.
If things keep going how they are going the rest of the world will need to take military action to end it a la WW1 and 2.
Most foreigners are putting the blame on potential allies in the US for not acting fast enough thus helping to fracture any movement before it can begin.
The closest we got were all the hardware revisions for the pcengine and sg 1000. The newer versions of all of those flopped. Like someone said it ends up splitting the player base. It really only works when you kill off the old console so players are forced to move up. See the GameCube -> Wii -> Wii U (which failed mostly because people thought it was an addon like the 32x.)
That said the n64 was the most powerful console of that generation. It was developed for Nintendo by sgi, who did a lot of work on early computer graphics for movies. A 32x equivalent could have pushed it to Dreamcast territory.
This whole thread is about day dreaming about business law reform.
The whole world doesn’t stop to deal with each problem individually.
The company which is importing the lumber will last the tariffs. Yes it will hurt them.
Corporations should be owned jointly in equal parts by the people who work there. Most live local and won’t want to do that.
Everything is bigger in Texas, but especially the bigotry. Hope you’re doing well.
It should be that most people are broken in some way and finding a person who is broken in a way that helps fill in your problems while you fill in there’s is a difficult but not impossible process.
He is apparently an asshole based on his bar fighting and how he treats his costars.
It’s easier on your neck to look side to side than it is up and down. So to get more screen real estate it makes more sense to go horizontal. Anecdotally, I constantly have two documents or a document and a web page open next to each other on one monitor. The landscape framing works really well for that.
Agreed but Fox is always like this with their shows. Most of the good ones started on Comedy Central or Adult Swim.
It reminds me of the steam machines from over a decade ago
Hopefully they ban enough popular people for their switch to a federated video sharing platform to have an impact on viewership.
