I appreciate what the article is trying to say and I more or less agree with it but the arguments supplied and the writing was not worth the length of the article.

Tl; Dr: "Oppressive systems harm everyone, including those they claim to protect — and South Africa proves it."

Especially in the US, I think it's easy enough to see that mass incarceration does actually harm the entire society as a whole and therefore those that it claims to protect including the rich. So regardless of what it's claiming to be able to do, the justice system in the US is intended to be all in support of "line goes up". I wonder how easy it would be to prove that, in fact, it does not do this and in fact hurts the interests of those whom the penal system is designed to protect.

Omar said something about executing pedophiles... They took it as a death threat to trump. The self-owns never end.

And I have one and I could basically shave with a new razor every single time I shave and still have it be cheaper than using a regular razor.

I don't get it. They're still doing exactly the same thing.

This might not necessarily be the kind of solution you're looking for but what I would do in this situation is use the web archive plugin to archive the page and then take the archived page and print that out instead.

Does that help?

The EU’s anti-coercion instrument is the bloc’s most powerful retaliatory tool. While it has never been used, the ACI was designed primarily as a deterrent, and if needed, to respond to deliberate coercive actions from third countries that use trade measures as a means to pressure the policy choices of the EU or its members.

Those measures could include tariffs, new taxes on tech companies or targeted curbs on investments in the EU. They could also involve limiting access to certain parts of the EU market or restricting firms from bidding for public contracts in Europe.

Herr come the sanctions.

Also, fn hate Bloomberg's paywall bullshit http://archive.today/mNIv7

I sure can, because even if I can't remember the contents of the idea, I ALWAYS remember how important or helpful it is.

I used to do this for work, repackage installs for automatic deployment. It's probably not worth your time, but you'll definitely learn a few things trying.

Seriously, if I don't die before retirement, I'll be totally shocked and have no idea what to do with my life.
