Yup, both the USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort are currently in Mobile, AL for refits.

Mercy for a 1 year long maintenance period that began last July and the Comfort on a 3+ month period that began last month.

You know the answer. The answer is always money.

Which is amazing since Syphilis is a part of Trump.

"The market" is captured. Consumers don't really have a choice. Businesses have to follow the law, no matter how terribly written.

If those laws are effectively being written and pushed through by a tiny handful of billionaires with their own agenda, consumers don't have a choice at all.

I never said it was solely on them, but saying that has no bearing on it is ridiculous as well.

We also had COVID which many/most schools had no fucking idea how to handle. There's basically an entire year of wasted education there.

Remote learning is a completely different beast. And digital social interaction is completely different than being physically at school with friends. Social interactions are a large part of learning as well.

Blame it on the technology though, because admitting that Republicans plan are ALWAYS terrible for anyone below the 1%, without exception, somehow is impossible.

I'm sure the systemic defunding and dismantling of the public education system across the United States at the hands of Republican lawmakers over the same timeframe has absolutely nothing to do with it.

In the same vein... Maraschino cherries aren't red, they are golden.

Only up to 15% and only for 150 days. After that Congress has to approve an extension.

That being said... I don't know if there is any actual codified safeguard in it to prevent him from just stopping it and starting a new set again. I haven't looked at the exact wording.

The 150 day limit is part of the law he is citing to justify this set of tariffs.

The Trade Act of 1974.

How the fuck does age gating prevent cyber bullying? That's not an age issue, it's an asshole issue.

Oh wait, because it's not about age at all but identifying individuals who think differently when the regime. Whichever regime that is.

Just like when many of them nearly doubled prices during those few months of super high inflation a couple years ago. No idea how people just accepted that month or two of 9% inflation somehow meant 150% prices are justified.
