I mean, I'm just going to go with the most obvious grift. Ulbricht is going to go right back to operating a crypto street pharmacy. Hell, he'll do it on the open web now. He'll call it "The New Silk Road" or similar.
And then there's an agreement for the feds to not go after them. In exchange, Ulbricht uses a good portion of his earnings to become the largest single investor in Trumpcoin ever. If asked, the feds can either ignore the question or hide behind some fig leaf excuse they come up with.
It's not like Trump didn't run blatant undeniable cons in the last administration.
I've heard said that in a modern battlefield like Ukraine, where recon drones are ubiquitous and satellite data is better and better, that stealth effectively doesn't exist. You know where all your enemy's forces are with high accuracy, and they know where yours are. Even if this is an exaggeration, the fog of war does seem to be dissipating with time. Eventually, recon tech will be so good that there will be no point for even having camouflage.
So what this means is.....WE CAN BRING BACK FABULOUS MILITARY UNIFORMS!!!
These companies don't realize what century they're living in. The advantage of a physical store is that you can get what you want NOW. Not tomorrow. Not two days from now. Not whenever Amazon finally gets around to delivering it to you. You can go to a store and get what you need NOW.
That is the entire reason for these stores to exist. Theirs is a market of convenience. But they can't seem to realize that.
Exactly. Their ONLY virtue is convenience. Either you're there for a prescription and buy something because you're already there, or you're just looking to do a quick stop. They're basically a glorified convenience store that happens to have a pharmacy attached. Their prices are high, but they do have convenience on their side. You don't have to walk across half a mile of parking before getting to the front door. You don't have to walk into a giant warehouse store that corrals you into shopping in a giant counterclockwise loop. Walgreens does have the convenience option over shopping at a big grocery store.
And this is what is so bone-headed about these locking cases. Again, their ONLY advantage is convenience. If they're going to slow things down by putting a bunch of barriers between me and the things I want, I might as well just spend the same amount of time, go to the full-sized grocery store, and save some money.
I say we deport the immigrants. ALL the immigrants. I mean anyone in the US that is an immigrant, or descended from an immigrant. Time to kick them all out! Anyone who isn't descended from the native population, back on the boat. And damn it, this includes myself!
Exactly. That's what's so callously ridiculous about it. That T level, 66 ng/dl, is quite achievable by trans women with the proper treatment. Puberty blockers or T-blockers and E? That's quite doable. It would be a quite reasonable bar for most trans women to reach for.
Except, they then of course outlawed that treatment for minors.
Kamala responded to her own voters' protestations about Palestine by dismissing them with "I'm speaking now..."
Well, in the end, it was the voters that spoke. And they sent her packing.
And the centrists who endlessly said, "Donald Trump will be even worse for Palestine!," we seem to now have a cease fire, even before Trump takes office. It looks like this particular genocide will be one that was entirely on Biden's watch.
This is a self-serving lie promulgated by legislators and jurists who loathe a check on their own power.
Form follows function. The jury nullification "loophole" has been known for centuries. Entire constitutions have been written knowing full well that they will enable jury nullification. There are ways you could design a legal system that wouldn't allow nullification. Yet time and time again, the people have chosen not to reform the system to eliminate jury nullification.
Yes, giving juries power to judge the law often produces negative outcomes. But that's simply democracy. Sometimes democracies produce bad outcomes, just like any system of government.
Categories? I don't use categories. Just a single giant list! Also, I never clear out my email inbox and let it pile up into the thousands! And no one can stop me. MWHAHAHAA!
We need to bring back the public stockades.
