Folks, this is coming from your government. The phone makers want nothing to do with it and are actively fighting it in court as best they can. Switching between phone makers will not help, and is not the right place to put your energy. Address your concerns to your governments.

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

Fool. He accepted the papers. No one cares that he then littered. She won.

I understand chiro quack shit the same way I understand crystals and essential oils quack shit. It’s all just quack shit.

What I don’t understand is why insurance actually pays for chiro, at least sometimes.

Wow there’s a way to prepare for it? Please share the details. I’m still on “stumble out and get blindsided by it all again.”

So swiftness is mentioned twice. I guess it must be pretty important? But if you asked 100 women to speak one adjective they do NOT want in a man, you would hear the word “quick.”

“Bad person” is like a qualification at this point. I’d take JV Dunce over this raging geriatric kleptomaniac paycho and his blitz of nonstop carnage. Seriously, Vance is weak. He will step into Trump’s shoes and promptly begin melting.

Thank you. I am interested to learn more.

I’m getting a little lost - you said both “social democracy” and “democratic socialism” there. I just want to be sure that was intentional? I’m still a little unclear what the better system’s rules are. I don’t mean to be ungrateful for the explanation, but this section in particular didn’t clear anything up for me:

people can still get rich, own companies, and buy jet skis, but they can't take a successful company that hundreds of people have helped build and centred their lives around and hand control of it to their unqualified, arrogant, spoiled children to run into the ground

So… okay, but how is this codified in law? No inheriting?

Any reason not to just throw out these terms and talk about it as capitalism vs communism?

Thank you for breaking this down. Would it be fair to say that social democracy on a national scale can still be imperialist but social democracy on a global scale would actually be a good thing? I guess when I see social democracy equated with fascism it leaves me wondering what is actually the better path.

Deep breath. I wonder if I can say this without the room thinking I’m defending Charlie Kirk… Hm. I’ll give it a shot.

Objectively, I think it’s wrong to celebrate death. I tell my kids that we don’t cheer when someone dies. Even when Trump goes, much as we hate him, we’ll just quietly turn the page. Isn’t there some saying about how you don’t really believe in a principle unless you’re willing to apply to to your worst enemy? Well, so yeah, I will not cheer when Trump dies, though I may moan every day that he’s alive.

Having said this, I would indeed add an extra layer of revulsion for cheering an assassination. In addition to the simple fact that it’s a death, it’s also violence.

So while I appreciate the spirit of this, it’s not a perfect equivalency.
