Yeah, they've been in Texas at least 20 years. Looks like they are in most of the states in the eastern half of the continental US and the states along the southern border.

Only office workers and managers are allowed to sit. If you're in a customer-facing position with a chair, you're supposed to stand up when helping a customer.

They are going after billionaires and big corporations now that they received more funding. Maybe after they collect the large backwards owed, they will go after those violating 501 c3 status.

Hopefully the IRS gets ahold of the news.

"Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes."

I thought the idea might have been planted to subvert the democrats and push voters from the polls.

Hopefully the energy behind the Harris campaign lead to her presidency and a more blue government.

So there actually is a line that she claims to not cross!

I'm sure all the fact food places will still run ads. They will just feature salads or coffee or the toy that comes with the meal, as long as if doesn't show or talk about the junk food options.

The American way is still thinking of a floor as the thing you stand on. We call the first floor that you step on in the building the "first floor" and going up we call the second floor you stand on the "second floor". Going down to the basement, we call it B1 because its the first floor you step on in the basement amd so on going down.

Europeans call the first floor that you step on the "ground floor" and the second floor that you stand on the "first floor". Going down, the first floor you hit underground is called "-1 and so on, very similarly to the American system. The naming of floors aboveground doesn't make logical sense to me, as they should be named for ease of navigation. ~~Telling someone that they need to go up 3 floors and then turn left on the 2nd floor hallway is inherently confusing. ~~

Edit: sorry got that example mixed up.

If you're building a house I'm Europe and the ask how many floors to build and you say "2". Are they going to build the floor that sits on the ground and one more or are they going to build the floor that sits on the ground and two more? The naming system lends itself to confusion.

It's only fair for the pets to eat us as well.

As long as they are done correctly. I've seen many new roundabouts that are two lanes wide and allow people in the middle lane to turn out of the roundabout. Only the outer lane should turn out, otherwise there's essentially a stop sign because you never know what the other cars are going to do.

You start counting with 1. If you're counting floors, where you enter the building you step on floor #1 and walking upstairs you land on floor# 2. Just like how there isn't a year 0 because we count the amount of time passed. You count the number of floors traveled.

I can remember a time that after a search, you'd just have a list of links. No extra boxes on the side or even an images tab, just the list of links. At the bottom of the page was the word "Google" and there would be more O's, as they were links to other pages of results.

If there were sponsored links, it didn't say so and you'd end up with different sites at the top of the list. So I don't think way back there were.
