The state needs to ask for federal involvement in these situations. And I'm not just saying that it's on Ohio to ask, legally how the system is set up is the state needs to ask in order for any release of aid. DeWine (R) did not ask. The white house and federal agencies did everything they legally could to assist and be ready for the ask, DeWine just didn't.

I have three kids and I think the most important thing for the first few days is to initiate the help. Don't wait to change a diaper, check it. If you do formula, take the first few feedings. Let your partner get extra sleep if they can.

When it's time for you to go home it will be the weirdest feeling in the world. At no other point in life will you grow up so fast and feel like an adult. It's normal and we are all doing our best, dint try to be perfect.

Can someone explain to me why we cannot wrap these deep fakes into existing identity theft law? Or at least impersonating a public official /government employee when it comes to politicians.

Ok then what is your point?i don't mean to be facetious but is that's not your point, it's heavily implied in your second&third paragraphs, then it seems your point is that the people who criticize her haven't read her work. That's not really a stance worth arguing as there's not a lot of evidence or rhetoric that can be brought to support it.

Objectivism is a self centered and unsustainable philosophy. Rand founded and describes it as "the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute". A society where every person strives only for their on happiness and as the main character in the world is arguably one of the least viable social systems. That is pretty much the set up of an oligarchy.

Also your argument that she lives through something terrible so she can't be wrong because that's her experience doesn't support her philosophy. She can still be a hypocrite and patently wrong without discounting her early life.

I'm really tired of so many people saying that doing something as a consequence for Trump's actions would set a new precedent. So many things that he has done are unprecedented. There is no FAQ for when the president refuses to transfer power or when a "billionaire" politician is caught perpetrating decades of multitudes of types of fraud.

The number of countries that pegged their currency to the USD is staggering. If the US defaults for any reason the global economy ceases to exist. Crashed by Adam Tooze is a great deep dive into the 2008 financial crises and goes in depth on how interconnected all the major economies are.

50 miles might not even get you from one county to another. Land mass size Texas is close to the whole of Europe.
