Bukele said returning Abrego Garcia would not be possible, telling reporters: "Of course, I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous.... I don't have the power to return him to the United States."

So neither president has the power to return him? Is there another authority they need to ask?

The quotes in your comment will make people think you're telling the truth.

"Again, we believe Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, the faces of our political coverage, are the best choices to moderate."

For regular people, an inheritance tax is not great. For the ultra-wealthy it should be mandatory.

Arguments against an inheritance tax:

• Double taxation: Critics argue that inheritance taxes are a form of double taxation, since the assets being inherited have already been taxed once during the decedent's lifetime.
• Hurts small businesses: Family-owned businesses can face hardship if they must be sold off to pay inheritance taxes.
• Discourages investment: Inheritance taxes can disincentivize people from saving and investing, as they know a portion of their wealth will go to the government.

Arguments for an inheritance tax:

• Reduces wealth inequality: Inheritance taxes help to redistribute wealth from the very wealthy to the rest of society, reducing income inequality.
• Prevents concentration of power: By limiting the ability of wealth to be passed on unchecked, inheritance taxes can help to prevent excessive concentration of economic and political power in the hands of a few families.
• Source of government revenue: Inheritance taxes can be a significant source of revenue for governments, which can be used to fund social programs and public goods.

Thank you for creating and maintaining this space for us, I'm grateful for you and all of the other people working to keep things running and improving on lemmy. It is becoming harder and harder to find spaces for discussions that aren't corporate owned.

I guess it just runs in our jenes.

Yeah, and if someone receives the diagnosis too late then there may not be time to go to court and still perform the procedure before it's too late. This woman was lucky to have lawyers working on her behalf.

Now the Republicans will always point to the few examples such as this one to claim their system is merciful and fair. It's such BS though, as if a judge's opinion on a medical issue matters one bit against those of doctors.

Here is a comment I copied from Hacker News:

If they join Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at Microsoft they will not need to start from scratch because Microsoft has full rights [1] to ChatGPT IP. They can just fork ChatGPT.

Also keep in mind that Microsoft hasn't actually given OpenAI $13 Billion because much of that is in the form of Azure credits.

So this could end up being the cheapest acquisition for Microsoft: They get a $90 Billion company for peanuts.

I don't think the average American wants politicians this old, they are being chosen by their political parties as having the highest chance of winning because we have a broken voting system that encourages fewer candidates per party so that they don't steal votes from each other.

That is why we need ranked choice voting, so that more candidates can run without competing and we could vote for people we actually like instead of voting against candidates we don't like.

Not to mention the need to level the playing field in terms of campaign financing which currently makes it more likely for more established politicians to have collected funding from private organizations, superpacs, and corporate lobbying.

This means that the politicians who are in the pockets of the capitalist elites are more likely to win and to enact the will of these corporations.

It's not brainwashing when the voting system is specifically set up to give an advantage to the dominant parties and to suppress every minority party. There are valid reasons to be skeptical that a 3rd party could ever win without a reformed voting system.

Have they tried SimAnt?

It's not news. These are franchise locations. There were about 1,900 new McDonald's opened globally in 2023, 400 in the US. Meanwhile Burger king closed 400 US stores. There's still many thousands of each.
