The rules of the Senate, as undermined by McConnell and inexplicably tolerated by Schumer ensure it won't happen.

That co-equal branches thing was nice while we had it.

Why would you do this? Who hurt you?

If you think the Eastland Steamer is a story you should check out the Cleveland Steamer.

Thought #2….maybe don’t.

Your point is well made, I'm not sure you caught my sarcasm in noting that they literally (well, supposedly) have precisely the expertise and processes to have seen the fire claim risks here or hurricane risks in the south or tornados in the midwest and mitigated their own exposure accordingly….but you're right - roll the dice and win and they rake in the cash today and F tomorrow.

Maybe they should have analyzed and prepared for risks that someone could project and price like those actuaries do for….insurers.

Well put - and I expect we'd agree that the worst are outlets like the NYT and WP that trip over themselves trying to appeal to a demographic that hates them by constantly pushing “both sides” or worse pretending it's normal partisan dynamics and not an utterly corrupt SCOTUS and dysfunctional Congress let alone aspiring authoritarianism on one side. They focus on eyeballs and revenue, journalistic integrity be damned.

I suppose “the media has catastrophically failed in it's job to inform many voters” wasn't as catchy.

I thought oil was the problem?

Their point is absolutely valid. Their method is absurd. This doesn't generate a dialogue, it undermines the point by enabling opponents to rightfully condemn the vandalism and changes no minds.

Attacking art or culture is counterproductive.

I've never seen one outside of a hotel before. Is it behind the fire?

Did they mean Chairman Meow?

….and did you say … “meow”?

A Norm reference made this much less depressing, thank you.

“Sorry our nation elected a bunch of morons”.

Being used to riding on flat land be aware of sight-lines being obstructed by the hill. “Hug” the fog line (not the centerline) in case oncoming traffic blows the turn an runs wide - this also enables a later apex so optimize your sightline in left handers (for right side traffic, not sure where you live)….also you may not be familiar with turning/elevation changes so take it nice and chill. Enjoy! Having gone from flat FL to mountains in CA it's how to truly enjoy what your bike can do.

The employer is within their rights to terminate so long as it's not on the basis of a protected class (gender, religion, age etc.).

I don't agree that stating an opinion should be grounds but I do not believe they violated anything.

Even worse, she's recognized for excellent work performance so you'd think that matters more….but nope.

Legally I'm not sure - symbolically he could do a lot. Call out the ethical judgement of Thomas and Alito for one. Recommend recusal. Hell, suggest resignations - if he were a principled Chief Justice that is, but alas….

The Chief Justice calling on him to recuse would be one. Even better - advocating for a binding code of ethics.

At the very least, meeting with Congress.

He refuses to even do symbolic gestures.

If Roberts had any principles or just a spine he'd set an example, instead the SCOTUS legacy is beclowned daily and he does not care. What a failure of a once vaunted institution.

Yes of course, but I expect the death was nigh instantaneous for thr victim so hopefully not so much as an “oh shit” moment.

They know perfectly well but prefer the revenue to fulfilling their journalistic responsibility and acting ethically.

When news is a product to market and not a social responsibility this is the result. They're selling a narrative and horse race delivers profits - also their delusion that kissing the ass of the guy that calls them the enemy might save them could be a factor.

Shameful how their response has been to cower and equivocate and not report objectively and clearly.

Yeah….also curious. It's been a couple of years but when I previously bought stuff from Monoprice it was a smoking deal and I'm pretty certain none of the cables I bought ever failed me.
