I got a Miele a few years ago and love it it's a little pricy, but they are well made and have good warranties. A vacuum repair person recommended the brand to me saying that when they do finally break, they are much easier repair.

I'm all for banning it. But let's take an honest look at the election predictions and notice PA will almost certainly be the deciding state in November. Eastern PA is solid blue, so the election effectively comes down to Western PA, where fracking is a single issue vote.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. We have a two party system and that's not going away in 2 months. She can say she'll ban it and Trump wins PA, or she can reverse course, opt for greater regulation, and have a chance to be the most climate forward president in US history.

In 2024, the DOJ has collected over a billion dollars in plea agreements across 3 of the 6 cases brought. The other 3 appear to be unsettled.

You're absolutely right, it's absurd and that's the point. For the GOP court to say the FTC can do that, they will expect Congress to pass a law saying "the FTC has the authority to ban non-compete agreements of every kind" but that's dumb and defeats the purpose of executive agencies, we agree. But that's the point. Congress will rarely if ever be that specific, so anyone can argue a law is not what they meant and the agencies have no deference.

The end goal is agencies are powerless and Congress is paralyzed, so the judiciary has all of the authority to decide what everything means.

Just the begining after striking down Chevron Deference. Sure, common sense says that is well within the purview of the FTC granted by Congress. But now, without chevron in place, the court is going to say anything that is not word for word directed by congress, is outside of an agency's jurisdiction.

Minor note, he recently said the president should be able to tell the Fed what interest rates are. He won't have to do much raging, he can just tell them money is free for Vance and his venture capitalist friends.

Allegedly 77% in 2020 according to the FL government. I assume that's among registered voters though, not all eligible.

Along with the points already made, selling energy back to the grid further complicates things. Selling energy as a non-utility is not allowed or practically worthless in a lot of states. So it's really only valuable to the commercial space that can use it. Couple that with retail space like stip malls that rent their locations and there's little incentive for the property owner to provide solar energy to the renter.

InB4 "WhY DiDn't hE Do iT WhEn hE HaD ThE MaJoRiTy?" Because he's calling for constitutional amendments that require a 2/3rds support in Congress and the SCOTUS may finally be disliked enough to get some GOP members to support reform, especially if it comes with limiting Biden's own immunity.

I thought the same, but AZ law says that if a Senate seat is vacated, the Governor, currently Dem, will appoint a replacement to fullfil the rest of the term. So, good news, the seat will not be up for grabs.

Not so good news, the appointed will have incumbency advantage and more than likely never be seriously primaried.

He endorsed Biden in 2020, so it stands to reason he will endorse Harris post-nomination. It's not like Trump has gotten less crazy or more likeable since then.

That's an average contribution of $91....Go back to upvoting yourself on c/JillStein
