I have 3 with maxed out coverage and it's only $800-$900 every 6 months. I do get a nice discount for paying it all upfront but it's crazy how much the price can vary based on all the factors.

Doesn't matter when the DNC leadership puts their thumbs on the scale to prevent them from gaining any traction by doing things like excluding them from debates, giving funding to one candidate over another, or feeding stories favorable to their candidate to the media.

What we need is ranked choice voting so that we can kick both the DNC and RNC to the curb and form parties that aren't run by protectionist, out of touch millionaires/billionaires.

I'm surprised they're allowed to do with with Comcast being headquartered in Philly.

These bills have been passed multiple times over the last couple decades and the result is always the same. In places like NY, they claimed to have run fiber to millions of homes but they never actually connected it to any of these homes, it just runs along under the street out in front of them, therefore they can claim these homes are "covered by fiber."

His house does.

I'm honestly not a big fan of her and would have preferred to see someone more progressive get the nomination, but I honestly had the same feeling as you now that we actually have a chance at defeating Trump.

It's honestly pretty gross to see even with all the rhetoric about brain-dead Republicans voting against their own interests and gobbling up the garbage coming from their leader's mouths.

It'd be great to get ranked choice voting so that we can have an actual left wing party and leave all these diet-Republicans to fester and compete with the rest of the right wingers.

I don't get how the blood managed to streak all the way down his face so quickly but then appears to have stopped bleeding by the time this photo was taken. Blood follows gravity so if it was gushing enough to reach his chins during the few moments he was kneeling down behind the podium, why isn't it now draining down toward his shoulder?

Nah it's corruption just like here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/22/san-francisco-noe-valley-toilet/73387351007/

Somehow they reduced the cost of this single restroom from $1.7M to $425k after people drew attention to it. Where do you think that extra $1.3M was going?

So what are you doing as a mod here then if you are pro-authoritarianism to the point that you think police and other non-medical government employees should be locking these people away in institutions and medicating them against their will because you all consider them a nuisance?

"Self medicating a mental illness and not very well" describes probably half the population of the country these days.

Looks like it's a lot more distant than that:

Gov. Gavin Newsom's aunt, Barbara Newsom, was once married to Ron Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law. Barbara Newsom and Ron Pelosi divorced in 1977.

That means for a while, Gavin Newsom was related to Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law by marriage, but the familial relation between the two now-powerful Democrats was even more distant. Not to mention, the marriage tying the two families together ended when Gavin was 10 years old.

I'm no fan of Pelosi or most of the Republican-lite DNC leadership but this is quite a stretch.

Why are the Pelosi's even on this infographic if none of the lines connect to them?

Edit: oh I seen Ron Pelosi married Barbara Newsom in the 1950s but then they divorced in 1977, nearly 50 years ago.

The only way this idea makes any sense is to allow the children to vote for themselves not to give a parent extra votes. You might argue that children are uninformed and won't vote 'correctly', but that same argument can be applied to the parents as being informed isn't a requirement to vote.

AKA a job security program since now they need to miraculously stop drugs in every country on the planet instead of just the one that employs them and since they have this vast new jurisdiction to cover, they'll obviously need hefty increases to their budget to cover it.

This guy thinks we've somehow evolved as a species from 50-100 years ago, so we should definitely go all in on it again. Government workers should totally be allowed to snatch people up off the streets or even in their own homes and send them to a facility where they're tied to a bed and pumped full of drugs based on little more than their own discretion. This would never be abused by some officer who thinks that anyone who doesn't kowtow to their ego is obviously crazy and needs to be put in a facility where they're considered crazy until they can somehow prove that they aren't to a bunch of strangers.

Come to think of it, these comments sound a little bit unhinged. Perhaps we need to call the authorities and have someone 5150ed...

So people should be involuntarily committed to a mental instituiton for passing out after using drugs? That's insane.

I've flown with them quite a bit and while I initially liked them, they're absolutely shitty if they ever make changes to a flight. I've booked direct 4 hour flights that they then cancel and stick me on a 12 hour flight with 3 layovers instead with no way to change it other than literally sitting on hold for 2 hours. Their website is absolute garbage and does not allow you to update or change anything on your flight even though it's supposed to (which I just found out from Crowdstrike is likely because their whole system runs on Windows 3.1).

I've also had the gate agents get nasty and refuse to allow us to board early when they ask if anyone needs extra time even though we have a child with disabilities because apparently she doesn't look disabled enough.

We also always check-in the second you're allowed to 24 hours before the flight but still somehow always manage to get stuck in boarding group C which means we can't sit with our above mentioned child if the plane is already full and there aren't at least 2 seats next to each other. You can pay them significantly more to get seated early though. 🙄

Out of all the flights we've taken, Alaska has always been the best in terms of service and experience and typically the most reasonable on price.

Southwest is good if you're traveling alone and don't mind getting stuck sitting between a drunk couple who are fighting and rapidly approaching getting physical (this has happened to me) and want to save money on your baggage.

The point is to pump out 'luxury' vehicles with tons of high markup features so that they can earn the most per unit and recoup their investment quickly just like Tesla did. The problem is that this coincides with high interest rates, high inflation, and a market that has a lot more competition than what Tesla faced a decade ago with everyone else jumping on the bandwagon too. We're essentially witnessing what's been going on with streaming services over the last few years except with high ticket items.

I totally get the sentiment, but compound interest is a real killer and it's not like these can be discharged like other debt (in the event that student loan forgiveness doesn't eventually happen)

Wow he's facing 48 years in prison for distributing some ones and zeros on the internet. A DEA agent recently ran over and killed a mother riding her bicycle near me after running a stop sign to catch up to his buddies and the courts ruled that he's immune from being held liable for his actions.

Funny how justice works in the US.
