From what I can find you’re talking about sale pricing. Which also happens to other proteins.

I’d love to know where you live that one of the most marketable pieces of pork is cheaper than chicken and ground beef. Because that would be amazing.

Pork loin is 7 dollars a pound. Ground beef is cheaper. Chicken or tofu are by far the cheapest proteins.

And I’m sorry but you cannot survive on spinach, oranges, pork, rice, and beans. Not to mention that rice is a 20 minute cook and dried beans take literal hours.

You can’t just say something is cheap when the knock is time, money, and mental energy. You sound like those yuppis born into money, just telling people to buy a house to get on the financial freedom train.

Suuure. Temporary. Just like when IT strung that wire across the ceiling…

The US Marshals are actually organized under the DOJ. Meaning they’ll just fire any Marshal that obeys that order.

It’s really not cheap. We have the studies about how it’s more expensive and about how food deserts exist. And time? Lmao. You get home from an 8-5 job at 6-7 depending on your commute. Which means you have 2-3 hours for relaxation, food, exercise, social activity, bills, and house chores before you have to go to sleep so you can get 8 hours.

And expecting someone to work all day and still have abundant mental energy is just pure toxic positivity. That’s not the experience of most people. We also have historical studies showing we didn’t “work” as much in pre-industrial times and that with the rise of shift work comes the rise of prepared food as a calorie source.

The answer here is plainly to regulate the prepared food, not blame people for their lack of a pocket universe operating on a different timescale.

That takes money, time, and mental energy. None of which are in high supply for most people working shift jobs or 8-5. The best personal solution is to make and freeze your meals on your off day so you can just heat them up whenever. The best systemic solution is to guillotine a capitalist for producing toxic food that masquerades as healthy and delicious, then ask the others if they have any questions about the new food regulations.

This is far less of a problem in other countries. We don’t have to let corporations treat us as an exploitable resource.

There are cities that use medics on motor bikes for this exact reason. They can’t evac someone but getting there quickly to use a defibrillator or control bleeding could make a difference.

Nope, news everywhere has been fucking this headline up. SCOTUS defined the government’s duty as requesting his release politely and allowing him back in if El Salvador does release him. The previous ruling would have forced the state department to tell El Salvador they must do it, or else. This is a far lower standard and will not be enough to get him released because the leadership in El Salvador knows Trump doesn’t want the guy to come back.

They put a lot of people in the cells, not just 2 or 3. So they are quite large and still quite crowded.

Oh no you’re reading this wrong. SCOTUS just gave them permission. They said they must “facilitate” and that the lower courts order to “effectuate” was likely an over step.

The payload here is that facilitating means they’ll send an official request that El Salvador will officially deny and then tell everyone they did everything they were ordered to do.

Oh they’re clearly moving to make that outdated. They want to turn any protestor into a terrorist.

The sheer amount of money being removed by the 1 percent is regoddamndiculous. It’s something like 45 trillion dollars since wages diverged from productivity in 1975.

It would require Apple to accept a dollar less in profit.

In this case there was no real issue. He was trying to get free advertising out of the court. But also, we’ve had animated avatars and text to voice for over a decade now. This isn’t an AI use case.

It has to be used the right way too. If you just hold a sign and go home then nothing changes. That’s the consensus building and demands phase. When you have critical mass and demands aren’t met you burn down police stations and setup autonomous zones. The problem with both of those wasn’t that they happened it was that the people fell for the media’s demonization of them.

I keep telling people this. To add, armed conflicts have a nasty habit of hardening a country. Getting rights back after it’s over is a pain, even if the “good guys” win. If you can manage change by overwhelming numbers in the street then it’s far better.

Yup

Somebody has to give them orders. It’s not like it happens magically. And we’ve spent 70 years building an officer corps willing to tell presidents no. And at the lower levels I’m not going to deny he’ll find people willing to do his dirty work. The military is a reflection of society. But that works both ways and there’s a giant difference between a military willing to act as a whole and having to find people willing to follow orders.

They also require a high school degree and an entrance exam. And officers are sourced solely from University graduates.

This is not your grandpa’s military.
