And Federal Devices. If those devices aren't secure, that's not the employee's problem.

Sure, but either way, it's not the employee's problem.

Supreme Court unanimously strikes down gun law used to prosecute Hunter Biden
The court said the old laws focused on people whose substance abuse left them unable to manage their lives, while the federal law broadly covered regular drug users regardless of whether they posed a threat to anyone.
"It’s a good day for the Second Amendment when all nine justices can agree to protect gun rights," Severino said. "The mere fact of illegal drug use, without more, isn’t enough to justify prosecution for gun ownership. Historically, ‘habitual drunkards’ who habitually lost use of their reason could have their rights restricted, but not just regular drinkers — even including Founding Fathers like John Adams, who drank ‘a tankard of hard cider’ with breakfast, or James Madison, who ‘consumed a pint of whisky daily.’
Seems like an incredibly reasonable take.

Even in US this "right" was never intended to mean that.
I'm sure you're going to start going on about Well Regulated Militias, and yet if someone tells you that they are in a militia that is organized and trains together regularly I bet you're going to double down on your efforts to disarm them.

Okay, then can you explain what you meant by:
Even in US this "right" was never intended to mean that.
Because if it's not the well regulated militia thing, I'm unaware.

I really just don't understand how you're relating this story to capitalism? Were dealer's not working in a capitalist way prior to legal weed? Did your dealer just give you weed?
It's such a reach to blame capitalism here that this clearly is the only arrow in your quiver. Which tells me you're probably just bad at life, so you blame capitalism for everything.

Is Platner a great candidate? No.
Is he better than Collins? Almost certainly.
A Heritage Foundation hit piece is a ringing endorsement as far as I'm concerned.
I especially enjoyed the part about how this adult presented a diary entry she wrote 'from 2016' as her evidence.

This is an article about how people like to get high, and the ability to safely buy quality/trust worthy product makes them feel more comfortable doing so.
You could make every dispensary a Government entity in the way that some states run their liquor stores, and the effect would be exactly the same. Stop making capitalism the boogieman for every negative you perceive in the world.

Making America Safe Again: DOJ to Award $300 Million to Model Cities Dedicated to Restoring Law and Order
Because "Restoring Law and Order" is a dog whistle for systematically racist policing.
I can guarantee that a city like Baltimore will not see a dollar of this even though the City's tactics have brought about a historic crime reduction without significantly increasing police spending (For reference, Baltimore has reduced it's homicide rate by about 72% in just 4 years).

USPS is not a business, and therefore not required to be profitable.
Furthermore, USPS's financial problems that consistently make headlines were manufactured by a 2006 federal act that required them to prefund health and retirement benefits 75 years in advance. The policy was a republican gift to private shipping companies (UPS, FedEx, etc), it was repealed under Biden.
Although they are still stuck with the contract Trump 1 saddled them with for awful and expensive delivery vehicles.

Dumping Hydrogen Peroxide Into the Reflecting Pool This Morning
Are we sure it's hydrogen peroxide? Even before Trump NPS regularly added algaecides.
If it is H2O2, it will react with the chloramine that's in the water and both the hydrogen peroxide and the chloramine will be neutralized. It wouldn't take much, 50-100 gallons of H2O2 would be enough to neutralize all the chloramine in the pool.
But to both neutralize the chloramine and reach enough hydrogen peroxide to effectively kill the algae, they'd probably need around 1 gallon H2O2 per 10,000 gallons of water, so around 6,675 gallons of H2O2.

This penguin would prefer a different administration in charge before we nationalize anything.
And realistically a more robust system of government with better safeguards.

Microsoft admits Game Pass price hike drove away "millions" of subscribers
To be fair, Gamepass had 34 million subscribers before the price hike, so as long as they drove away less than 11 million, Microsoft still comes out on top after their 50% hike while having to provide services to fewer accounts.
