OfCourseNot

It’s $180k just one school district. Not specified if the number of schools/students in this district is above or below the average, but a quick search tells there are 332 schools districts in Kansas.

Probably just the normal rss feed with a fresh coat of cheap golden paint to upgrift the other grifters grifting off his griftposting.

There’s no such a thing as ‘middle class’. The working class is paying all of it.

interest payments on the debt are expected to exceed $1 trillion this year

If my finger-counting math is right ye yanks, on average (including children), are paying ~$250 a month just in interests… I ain’t no economist but that seems like a lot.

There’s an argument to be made that it is, in fact, not ‘reading’. The training of the model could be considered a lossy compression of the data. And streaming movies in a lossy compression format is not fair use, is it?

No it doesn’t. But yours dilutes a bit the complicity of most (all, maybe) other states, many of them directly. Without them they couldn’t have done all this shit for these many years. They raised a very problematic pit bull, and when it mauls a bunch of babies the might go ‘oh! No! That’s very bad!’ But tell the parent that the baby scared the dog, and the other parent shouldn’t have approached so fast, while cuddling it. I also get your point, it very well might be that the dog cannot be rehabilitated. But states aren’t really dogs, they’re more like parasites to society. They may seem harmless or benign to a host when the conditions are right, but they can get super nasty in other context. But I agree that we should try to expel the parasite from the host whose life is in most danger first, even if at the cost of putting another parasite in its place. But sooner or later they all can become malign, even this much.

you should hate the israeli every state and oppose its existence

There, ftfy.

We’ve had them for quite some time. They don’t change price for individual customers, I don’t think they change the price in the middle of the day either. But, I guess, they can change the prices just before opening, like if the wether service forecasts a rainy day they could rise the price of umbrellas and raincoats. Cold? Hot chocolate and soups. Hot? Ice cream and cold drinks. Certain asshole died overnight? Champaign and confetti cannons through the roof. And so on…

In Spain we’ve had those for years now, and prices are as stupidly high in the stores with paper ones…

U.S. abandoning leadership on the energy transition

Uhm? How the fuck does one abandon something they never had??

If you have some fos licensed software it will be foss forever, that licence is a contract and doesn’t go away. Now the author(s) of that code can license it to other people or release the newer versions with a different non-foss licence.

They know their customers make unwise decisions. They got a bmw in the first place.

considerable checks and balances on executive power

Lol. The 'Muricans use to boast about theirs too. Not anymore, do they?

At the end of the day those are only words written in a piece of paper and can’t do anything if the gang of thieves (politicians) with a gang of thugs (forces) decide to wipe their asses with it.

As I said, I’m not an expert in law, but for what I’ve seen when someone tells me their country (or maybe not theirs but one they have idealized) is different, it ends up not being true. Usually it’s just luck they’re wealthy enough and shit hasn’t hit the fan yet.

Which ones are these ‘non-shithole’ countries? I’m not an expert (either in law, or in shitholery) but as far as I’m aware these pardons exist in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada, Australia, Poland, Morocco, Ireland… so I’d bet that places where ‘leaders cannot randomly pardon people’ are, in fact, the exception.

A rail conversion! That’s pretty cool, like in RttF2!

I didn’t know trolleybuses already had batteries back in the eighties, I thought it was a more recent development, that’s super cool too.

Also, that 260 is a fine looking bus, most buses I’ve seen in the last decades looked pretty mah imo.

‘Electric bus’ usually means a bus that relays in batteries to supply electricity to the motor(s). When, instead, it uses trolly poles (plural, it needs two) it’s called ‘trolleybus’.

The third one is weirder. It’s like a tram/trolley, but I don’t see any pole or pantograph to supply the energy. I’ve read about diesel ‘tram-trains’, essentially several trams or light rail vehicles linked together. Do you know something more about this last one?

Honestly, this ‘economist’ had it coming. Did they think that economists’ work is doing actual economic predictions? Lmao. Your work is to say what rich and powerful people want you to say.

Edit: grammar

‘Paid’. When some egyptaboo tells you that “there weren’t slaves in Egypt at this time”, remember the ‘workers’ were paid in housing, bread, and beer. And were kinda bound by their duty to the God-Pharaoh. Totally not slavery!

Tho now thinking of it it’s not like my wage stretches farther than that either…

Edit: spelling and punctuation are hard.

Not a crime to be drunk at any time in Spain. Is it illegal to be drunk or there’s a permitted timeframe to be drunk where you live?

People would give you weird looks in other places.
