That's not true on movie sets though. Actors rely on armorers to keep everyone safe. Expecting actors to also be responsible would be unduly onerous. The system, when it works, works incredibly well. There have only been a handful of firearms accidents on sets. Which is crazy seeing as how almost every movie these days has guns in it somewhere.

The rust shooting had failures at multiple levels but the actor isn't responsible for those failures.

Arrest the freedom Caucus and pass legislation to fix this before they can be replaced.

The result of this is that the only people who can get into office are literally perfect or they're very good at hiding their activities. You leave no room for normal people with varying levels of flaws and foibles and 'weird' interests to participate.

My browsing history is my business, not yours or anyone else's. You may as well start asking for my correspondence history, a record of the content of my private conversations, etc...

I understand the danger that bad actors posing as normal candidates pose. Trust me, I've dealt with it first hand. But throwing out huge swathes of otherwise qualified candidates because they aren't willing to share every piece of their personal life is not the remedy.

I'm an elected state official in Florida at the extremely local level. Fuck off with that. People don't need to know my browsing history. It's entirely possible to judge someone's fitness by the acts they take in office alone.

I think Whitmer is the better choice. It locks up Wisconsin and brings in the woman vote. It's also an aspirational vote, like Obama was in 2008.

That didn't help Clinton, obviously, but Whitmer is no Clinton (in a good way).

There's about six weeks to the convention. That's enough time but barely. Harris will want to take the top spot, and maybe she should, but Newsome is the one that could beat Trump, maybe.

What a disaster.

Two words: brokered convention.

I almost wonder if Biden's staff suggested this super early pre-convention debate so he would be forced to acknowledge he needs to step down. I can't see any other explanation.

"Gentlemen, good evening. I will in a moment give you each five unrelated words. In 90 minutes I will ask you to recall those five words. I look forward to a spirited debate. Good luck."

Ehrlich Bachman, this is your mom and you, you are not my baby.

It was seven years ago. Unless he was talking to a ten year old, they're not a minor anymore.

Economic imbalance is baked into the games.

A runner that trains in a state of the art facility with a nutritionist and physiotherapist on call 24/7 will inherently have an advantage over a runner from a poor country that trains in their spare time at the local high school track. Acting like air conditioning is a step too far is silly.

The director of marketing at my company just got out of a meeting with reddit and is super hyped at funneling all our Facebook and Twitter dollars into reddit instead. I didn't have the heart to tell him he's five years too late.

Prices for luxury goods are set by what the market will bear.

He also has a company that does anti drone tech for the Department of Defense.

I would highly highly doubt it. He's just the "science man" of memes so he's used as a stand in for all scientists, or at least science communicators.

There's a word for alternative medicine that works. It's "medicine".

I forget the attribution.

You should know more people.

Ah yes, the old "I was only pretending to be dumb" excuse.

The fact you're setting an arbitrary limit of cash in a bank account shows how little you've thought about this. Rich people have money in the bank, sure, but the vast amount of their wealth is in stocks, property, and other assets. Also, assuming rich people have one bank account they keep all their money in is foolish. You have to spread your cash around to multiple accounts and even banks in order to not exceed the amount the government is willing to insure.
