You put added words that I didn’t say. Nice try. The specifics you picked out tell me you already know the answer. Good job googling. Clearly you also know your are wrong, so now you are trying to change the statement to fit your interpretation of what I said. Fancy.

Hm, you should maybe google that before you say it.

Also, I would like to see a workable plan for increasing what we vite for without going full direct. But it’s really hard to remove the influence advertising can have on such thing.

When people say democracy, they usually mean direct democracy. That ain’t what we got. We have a representative democracy, often called a republic. And even at that, the party establishment control who we can even vote for. So we only get to choose from the representatives they give us for the most part. So what we have is the illusion of choice.

You of course know that america isn’t really a democracy. It’s a republic by design. And of course what it is in reality is a whole nuther something.

Fusion… ya’know, in 5 years

They don’t write the laws. They don’t even read them. They have even admitted to this. Some lobbyists writes the laws, and they vote based on how much miney they got from that lobby, and what the polling numbers say people “think” of the law. They don’t need information from the Pentagon for any of that. Besides, the mandatory reports are the result of an existing law. So it is more about compliance than about making new laws.

So this is odd. You felt the need to nitpick what I said, showing a detail orientation skew. But your response shows you didn’t read the details of what I said, showing a lack of detail orientation. So what gives, are you detail oriented or not? What drove you to make that comment?

Seriously, I can’t think of a better use for AI. Fuck the stupid politicians who will say and do anything to get elected.

If they are reports to congres mandated by law, they are probably public information. They don’t mandate the ones that have the good stuff.

They were brainwashed starting at a very young age. I doubt most of us here could have seen through it back then.

I’m no boomer, but I know how they feel. Who can tell when the next crash will hit, and mega inflation will strike. There is just no real way to know you have enough saved. Unless you are like elon or such. And gieven all that. People are holding on to their money because they may have to help keep their kids afloat. It isn’t the boomers making the problem, it’s the mega rich scraping every dime they can put of the hands of everyone they can so that they can be secure in their wealth. The bokmers are just a biproduct of that brainwashing.

While the law itself is a significant overreach and such. The article is really blowing it out of proportion. Doctors check a kids genitals at their yearly checkup until puberty at least. So thisnis just a simple doc signing off on something they have already done in the past. There will be exceptions of kids who moved or have a new doctor since puberty or something. But they already have to get a medical release usually to play sports anyway. So they will have a new doctor who will have undoubtedly done a general physical anyway. The ones who this really effects is the poor. The ones who don’t have a regulat doctor. Who is going to be doing their medical release… I don’t know. But it should at least be a doctor I believe.
Not that doctor’s are garunteed safe or anything. But in most cases they were at least vetted by the parents and not some random schmuck showing up at games checking girls crotchs.

This is why judges and the judicial system do not deserve the automatic and unconditional respect they demand.

Outgoing call center, Door to door “sales”, professional panhandlers.

This. Their job is litterally to get people to spend money on something they otherwise wouldn’t spend money on. And they have a no holds barred attitude about separating people from their money.

I do want to say that not all chiropractors claim to be able to cure everything with adjustments. Some are more like physical therapists. In fact my actual physical therapist did what a chiropractor does a few times. And I did feel better. But I have met plenty of the snake oil salesman type as well. Saying they can cure cancer with all sorts of things. Grifter gunna grift, no matter what name you slap on them.

Hey y’all, RTFA. It is not saying what you think it is saying. The last several paragraphs twist things on thier head.

I have always wondered how they can ban fully automatic machine guns, but then say that semi automatic assualt rifles can’t be banned while reading the same part of the constitution. They are both “arms”. The constitution doesn’t differentiate. Any differentiation made by the law is adding to what is written, clear as day. So just pick a damn side.

We need to start calling thr GOP “trump’s party”. That way when he is gone it will remind people of all the “like minded” politicians he put in place, and that they need to go as well.
