Never really thought it like this before, but would the entire chain move up? Like Speaker comes VP or would Harris get to select a new VP?

Talk out my ass here, but I thought it was due to the economics. Companies only want to buy the 737s because it's a fairly known factor. Pilots don't need to be retrained and, at this point, can be produced cheaper and/or faster.

Totally agree. Andriod Auto shits the bed occasionally, but well worth it, in my opinion. Imo the best thing is how your info dash is based off your phone instead of the car. Makes it super handy for rentals or trading cars with the wife

Ehh, I'm sure it's something like if they let you manage your subscription through the play store, Google is entitled to their 30% cut. If you subscribe through desktop, they'd like to keep 100% of the money opposed to 70%. Might be off base, but I'd wager that's the reason

Didn't Facebook build infrastructure and give out free phones in India and other developing nations to get them online? I'm sure it was more to harvest their data, but I'm sure that counts pretty solidly for them

Google seems to be caught in an awful feedback loop. I feel like at this point, most tech savy people are weary to try new Google services for fear of liking them, but eventually getting shutdown. In turn causing those tech savy users to not recommend it to their friends/family that actually might cause it to grow.

Honestly don't know how they get out it without either losing tons of money on maybe side projects or happening across the one things that's so good it's impossible to not use. The latter seems more unlikely by the day

That comes down to your state. For Instance, in KY, we have closed primaries so you can only vote with the party you have registered. The general election are open, of course, but the intent is to keep people from voting for the best candidate in their party and the worst for the competing parties.

Every state does it a little different though. Some states like Iowa don't even have primaries, they have caucuses. That's you go into a room (typically a school gym) with a bunch of other people and move from side. Being on a certain side counts as a vote. The main drawal to this approach is it encourages people to discuss their thoughts on matters.

Typically though, Dems will have a primary. Even if all the other candidates drop and Biden is the only option.

If you're interested in the Dems, I wouldn't recommend voting in other parties primaries. In the lead up to Trump vs. Hillary, many democratic analysist hoped that Trump his primaries. Thinking that it would be a slam dunk for Hilary to win. We all saw how that turned out...

For real. Only two other people have officially stepped forward, but I didn't learn about that until I seeked that information out.

Imo seemed like they don't have a ton of funding and that could be that the powers that have money see Biden as having the best chance.

Has this already happened? This and louisville.sh.itjust.works are the only ones I've found so far

Not original replier, but personally viably outside the womb changes the entire game. A strong major of my support for abortion is "I'm a man, I can't possibly imagine getting pregnant and birthing another human". So much of the onus of birth is the woman, a human that we also have to consider the feelings and health of. If viably was possible outside the womb, I could probably be argued into agreeing to ban abortion with some key exceptions because the world isn't black and white.

However, I am curious on your thoughts on medical euthanasia.
