Tankies voting 3rd party in a fptp electoral system. When ignorance and russian propaganda meet.

I'm sure your point will be heard, though!

I hear that but ''witnesses'' who don't understand the process are bound to cry foul even when everything is running smoothly. We saw it in 2020.

It's not though.

We've already solved this issue without biometrics. The manufacturers just cheaped out on actually implementing it in the affected models.

Ground News. The blind spot feature gives me great insight to where my "out of touch" family is coming from with their political narratives.

Economists at Harvard studied a four year period and concluded the IRS gains $4.25 for every $1 spent on auditing wealthiest tax payers.

I wonder if the IRS can immediately recover funds with a magic wand or if it's a protracted, investigative process.

Sure, but Trump didn't sound like he was lost at the grocery store. Most of what Trump said was nonsense he made up on the spot but he said it with confidence. Trump knows his supporters won't fact check him; Biden is burdened with the truth. It's not fair but we unfortunately need someone who can spar with Trump on stage. If someone flusters Trump on stage he will spiral out of control.

It all comes down to:

But the largest hurdle to making plant-based proteins a more viable alternative for everyone is the U.S. government’s deep investment in the status quo. Washington spends up to $38 billion subsidizing the meat and dairy industries each year, a move that keeps prices artificially low.

You might want to make up definitions for genocide but in 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.

Correct, it only works when certain conditions are met.

Drivers can activate Mercedes’s technology, called Drive Pilot, when certain conditions are met, including in heavy traffic jams, during the daytime, on spec ific California and Nevada freeways, and when the car is traveling less than 40 mph. Drivers can focus on other activities until the vehicle alerts them to resume control. The technology does not work on roads that haven’t been pre-approved by Mercedes, including on freeways in other states.

How does "Hollywood accounting" affect this? Did anyone actually lose money or are they able to just create losses on paper?
