All indefinitely means is "not certain". So it could mean a week... Or a century.

These disks are pretty well understood. You should be good for a decade. At about 12-13 years it's risky and anything after 15... If it's still working, count yourself lucky.

Exactly. The more claims you can deny the lower you can make premiums appear because you're not actually paying out.

And I imagine it'd be even easier on a podcast with a production crew to edit the material to help craft and maintain an image.

You mean, like passing a decree requiring all incoming presidents to sign an ethics pledge before taking office?

I don't agree. The dnc opted to go with a strategy of, "we don't need to listen to the will of the voters, and we'll double down on doing the same gd thing we've always done, you either get on board, or bad-man wins!"

People want change. DNC refused to make even the hint of willingness to change, it's no surprise they lost so many voters.

This was entirely avoidable.

My only hope is that the DNC will finally wake the fuck up and introduce an actual progressive platform. But shit, I said the same thing when Hillary tanked. So why would it be different now?

Exactly. Maybe someone could have mentioned this during election season if it was so important?

You thought it was bad for Obama? Buckle up, we're in for a wild ride.

Meh, I don't think the comment matters. Fashion has always been a discussion topic. Remember Obama's tan suit? Or all the criticisms on Trump's ill fitting suits?

Saw the title, figured it couldn't be that bad. Read the article. It is that bad.

A similar thing happens at the company I just joined. It has a "move fast" culture. I push for new roles that are genuinely needed now. My boss "approves", but finance puts the brakes on for review. HR doesn't want me yelling at them, so they post the job to "get a jump on collecting resumes".

If I lose the battle with finance, the job evaporates. If I win, we scoop up the resumes, and hire someone within a week.

Politics shift to the right when people feel disparity, and their future looks break. Politics shift left when people feel optimistic about their future.
