So do you likewise feel it's illegal for Texas to punish women who cross state lines to get an abortion?

[–] dragonflyteaparty 2 points 1 year ago

Exactly. The kids shows are good and I like the documentaries.

Ok, so they're doing what Florida is. Thank you. It wasn't clear to me from the article.

You seem to be only focused on one strict interpretation of the word. I believe the second definition makes more sense here.

Except we have people like Musk deciding when Ukraine can and cannot retaliate against Russia.

I'm not quite sure you are thinking of a monopoly in the way everyone else is. They don't mean Amazon controls literally everything but it's a big enough piece of online retail that price ranges are controlled by Amazon. They also take a high percentage of all transactions through their website.

We have a Google mini. They listen to my six year old request the song Poopy Bum Bum all day. The ads get interesting.

That's no guarantee the money you stated would go to charities or mosquito nets. Are you suggesting we donate to charities and buy mosquito nets instead of games? How do we know it'll get to the right person? You also have to be very careful about what charity you donate to because a good chunk of them keep most of the money. No, it's not simply as easy as "don't buy stuff". The resources still have to get to the people who need it and that's not always a straight line.

On selling half of my clothes, clothing resells for pennies on the dollar. I don't exactly have a lot either, so how is that supposed to help?

So you're saying they had complete control to do anything they wanted? There was zero Republican involvement whatsoever?

Yeah, tell that to all of the LGBTQ populace, those who want abortion rights, parents who don't want books banned. No, they are not the same. Yes, democrats do help people. Yes, they do try.

As much as there are things that suck about not having a public institution hold our primaries, it doesn't mean that your vote doesn't matter and it certainly doesn't only pertain to the presidency.

Sure, but that's not everyone.
