Food safety scandal rocks China as report claims cooking oil carried in same trucks as fuel

Sure, China is a dictatorship, but in return they are:

  • Just as corrupt in industry.

  • In Decline from their once amazing rate of people exiting poverty.

  • Losing all of their trade partners.

  • Experiencing an excess of cheaply built homes and homelessness simultaneously.

  • Are being forced out of the global tech economy.

  • Fully reliant on Russian Oil.

  • More likely to enter new wars every day.

  • Incapable of managing their own agriculture sector.

If that is all it takes to get rid of landlords...

Never found a motive? Are you joking? We've got tons of info on the psycho who did it. He was a distraught aging white male with a history of depression, gambling, and firearms who wanted to hurt the world and kill himself.

Sad losers are a dime a dozen but at least most of them aren't as stupid as that guy. There is no reason to discuss this outside of proposed changes to our society as a whole to better prevent these stains on history.

Any day now Joe, c'mon man!

The $15 minimum failed in the senate 42-58, 40 Dem + 2 Inde voted yay, in March 2021

AFAIK, nothing passed the house for sub-minimum wages

Ensuring everyone has strong benefits might be difficult when they're barely holding Republicans back from stripping Medicare and Social Security. They're at least holding the line.

We joke, but Epstein masqueraded as a wealthy investor/entrepreneur for like two or three decades before he was caught, so him merely having some one's contact written down doesn't mean much. In fact, Bill Gates has never been shown to have visited the island at any point, and Epstein was very invested in the Gates Foundation charity work such as loaning his plane for high profile individuals to fly to charity sites across Africa.

What's stopping him?

Immune from criminal prosecution*

The state AGs can and will still challenge any and all such executive orders.

But if Biden hypothetically were to kidnap, beat, or murder supreme court justices or political opponents, then that's another story.
