Better to make california the 13th province.

It takes months if not years for a case to be appealed to the supeme court. They don't even accept most cases.

Any court federal can issue an order on this if a case is brought. Courts cannot do anything unless asked. That's kind of how the legal process works. Someone, or some AG will file a suit. Might take a few days or weeks.

I pretty sure they selected posts from a 6 year period, not that they spent six years on the analysis.

I am a member of a union that predates the NLRB. And it will continue even if its gone. Unions did strikes when they were illegal. The law just makes strikes more peaceful, which is generally better for everyone involved, but it's not essential.

Get ready for 2028. That is the year, right?

US laws offers enough protections for legal strikes that unions follow the law so they can't do solidarity strikes. UAW is aligning their contract renewals for 2028, so it can happen then. But also if they repeal the nlra there will be little incentive to not start doing solidarity strikes.

it would be, but they are the minority party in the federal legislature. They can't do the things you're suggesting on their own. Obstructionism is the best course of action. You're asking for things they literally can't do, instead of things they choose not to like normal.

FAA is run by the executive branch. They are subject to laws that have to pass the republican legislature. Not a reasonable option at this point unless republicans start to turn on musk.

Those who could craft or enforce laws against musk right now are the states. If a state could charge musk with a crime and arrest him for it it could stick. The presidential pardon only extends to federal crimes.

"niche market," is a way of saying they made a bad product few want.

pickup trucks are hardly a niche product especially in the us

The listed indices dropped an amount within the standard range that they regularly fluctuate. The dow is still up from where it was on january 1st. The same can be said for nasdaq and the s&p. Stocks are continuing to trend upward unabated, but they do wiggle as they do so.

Don't ever trust the news when they say the market "plummets." They use that term incredibly misleadingly. The lines on the charts wiggle constantly. When something bad happens some hack news sites will find a minor downward wiggle near the same time and they'll claim causation and pretend that something significant happened to the markets, to drive clicks to their website.

The fact that most of the comments are taking the headline at face value is not a good sign.

I kind of wonder what the worst possible flower to have as a name. I would say begonia. Very pretty flower, not so pretty of a word.

I AM MOVING FROM LEMMY.WORLD!!

It is my pleasure to announce that effective immediately, I am transitioning my account to lemmy.blahaj.zone! This has been a few months in the making, so my entire self is already onboard.

FAQ:
Why?
That's a complicated question with a long answer! The primary reason is ideological similarities between me and Ada's excellent team of admins. I am on good terms with Ada and her team, and have gotten her consent to do this.

How does this work?
Currently, as there is not an easy way to transfer an entire account (trust me, I checked), so I am logging out of the old account, and moving my focus to the hildegarde on lemmy.blahaj.zone. For you guys, functionally nothing has changed.

What about the posts?
Well, I tried to transfer them, but there was no real way to do so without absolutely destroying my brain's sanity. For this reason, I am simply ignoring the old account. Everything is staying up. Direct messages are still enabled, but I'm not going to read them or anything.
