How about term limits in congress too?

Too bad many states will just refuse the money.

The boomers aren't a monolith. It's millions of people with different experiences and actions throughout their lives.

Did a large number vote/legislate themselves into this problem? Yes. Are millions of others also along for the ride despite not supporting this system? Also, yes.

The issues in this article aren't even applicable to boomers exclusively. Gen-X is a big portion of the population mentioned in the article. This isn't a generational problem, it's a class problem.

And don't forget the fact that if these systemic issues aren't addressed, we'll all face the consequences.

Americans are now paying an average of $12,182 to own and operate a brand-new vehicle

Misleading title.

So new cars have gotten more expensive overall, people are buying more expensive new cars, and the cost of credit for new cars has gone up. In other words, don't buy a brand new car.

This headline is technically correct, but it's clearly meant to cause outrage. The headline "Trump's Bible only includes the bill of rights" isn't going to get as much attention.

Manufacturing outrage obfuscates Trump's actions that people should actually be outraged about.

This is amazing news. I've really enjoyed Lemmy and this F1 community, but unfortunately I'm going to have to jump ship back to reddit. The appeal of these collectable avatars is just too much.

Think about how much money they will be worth when Alpine win the championship after completing their 5 year plan!

The bill forbids "intentional injection, release, or dispersion" of chemicals into the air.

Instead it broadly prohibits "affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight".

This bill is obviously based in ignorance, but from an envirinmental/pollution standpoint this seems like a good thing. It's not their intention, but it sounds like it would protect the atmosphere from potential real polluters.

Edit: based in ignorance in the sense that some people supported the bill to ban "chem trails" (an ignorant position). Not in the sense that weather manipulation isn't real.

CEO of the powerful trade group PhRMA—Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America—said in a statement that the group is "deeply concerned with the FDA’s reckless decision to approve Florida’s state importation plan" and claimed importation "poses a serious danger to public health."

Yeah right. These Canadian drugs will definitely pose a health risk to Americans. Suuuuure. They're definitely not worried they'll have less money to line their pockets with.

Any plant can grow with "artificial" light. It's just a matter of generating the correct light spectrum for a plant. There's nothing special about the light coming from the sun.

I was pretty nervous about the show, but it far exceeded my expectations. It did a great job staying mostly true to the FO universe, and striking a balance between the serious, dark humor, and absurd tones of the games.

Hopefully we get another Fallout game sometime this decade.

I understand that the US is likely vulnerable to cyber attack, but is a widespread attack by China likely in the immediate future?

I mean, let's say China does disable infrastructure, banking, etc in a coordinated and widespread attack. But then what? An attack on that scale is an act of war, and I doubt China would be willing to follow up with military action at this time.

Perhaps this is more of a preventive MAD type strategy? Essentially a warning to the US to not mess with China, or else these are the consequences.

If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $1.1 trillion, that's the bank's problem.

If you find this interesting, the Freakonomics podcast just put out a really good series on academic fraud. I highly recommend it.

I'm assuming you're genuinely asking and don't understand why... Living out of a car is a sign of being poor, and businesses, police, etc. don't want poor people loitering around. That doesn't apply to truck drivers because it's a profession and they will reliably leave where they're sleeping after several hours.

I'm not saying it's right, that's just reason for the difference in treatment.

“We have the people we need. We have the training that we need. We have the equipment that we need to fight and win," Lt Colonel Omar Minott, who is among the 1,500 to be deployed, said.

Oh, so it's completely different this time around. They've got it figured out now, everyone.

Her job was to be on active tarmac near running aircraft. She isn't some random person that shouldn't have been there.

It appears she wasn't paying attention and people tried to stop her from walking into the propeller.

“Others began shouting and waving to get [Cosme’s] attention as well,” the report said. It added: “Without looking up to determine her position relative to the aircraft, [Cosme] proceeded to walk directly into the propeller … sustaining fatal injuries.”

F1 doesn't genuinely care about being road relevant. They haven't for many years (if ever).

If they did care, they would have allowed active aero, less restrictive powertrain constraints, and many other innovations.

They care more about preserving the "image" of F1. And because of that, ICE will not be going away for a very, very, long time.

A war between Russia and NATO would result in the textbook definition of a pyrhhic victory. Everyone should be afraid of that. There will be no winners in nuclear combat.

Aaron Bushnell was a moron. He should have waited to self-immolate after the election, that way he could still vote for Biden.

Obvious /s.

And if you're a fan of quotation marks you could call it a "2"x4"."
