They weren’t previously photographing people.

I’ll also mention that passports are issued by the state department, not CBP which is under the department of homeland security.

Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"

Reply in thread

American here in a state bordering Canada. We get energy and trade with Canada. Our winter is basically over.

Please cut the power for an hour. Make it daily. Increase it to 2 hours. Do it at the most annoying times.

Hospitals and such have backup power systems, so a short outage wouldn’t directly harm anyone. (I’m sure some elderly shut in will coincidentally die of old age and it would get blamed on the outage) But it would get everyone’s attention and mostly be really fucking annoying for some people.

Will Republicans try another Federal Right to Work attempt?

Reply in thread

Right to Work means you can have a union job but not join the union. You have the right to”right to work” without being a union member or paying any union dues. Generally it means you get all the benefits without contributing but also unions are usually a lot weaker since so many people opt out, so also the benefits are lesser. Because it is governed by state-level laws, details vary from state to state.

In the grand scheme of things eggs still aren’t that expensive but they’re an indicator that things are much more broken than most people realize
