how dare you now I’m not going to all tell you about my products that you don’t want to hear about at all.

Walmart and many other companies underpay workers enough that they have to rely on food stamps. They use food stamps to subsidize their labor costs to avoid paying their workers enough to buy food.

Not just in California. Every state has elections now. Make sure to vote. Non-federal election years have significantly lower turnout than most. It doesn’t take many votes to swing a municipal election. Get out there.

It wasn’t just the white house. Also congress is the one that makes the budget, and the laws that causes a delay in budget negotiations to stop payments.

In a sensible country, the government would continue to spend at the levels of the previous budget in the event of a delay in negotiating the renewed budget. It makes no sense. There are no benefits. Please do what you did in 1814 again we need it.

If your income does not have withholdings you are required to make payments quarterly. If you owe above a certain amount when filing your tax returns you have to pay a penalty.

You can write exempt on the withholding form to stop your employer from withholding, but the forms are very clear that it is only to be done if you owe no tax. Unless you earn less than $16k or whatever the standard deduction is for you, it would be unwise to not make advanced tax payments.

You can file your forms differently to avoid paying the feds, or delaying those payments, but you do so at personal risk.

Copyrights don’t last perpetually, and the bible is old enough to be public domain. Newer translations and editions can be under copyright but the underlying work is public domain.

Copyright purportedly exists to promote the sciences and useful arts. Historical scholarship, and the research into old manuscripts in making a new edition of any old work does have value, and does entitle you to a copyright. However, scholarly editions generally have a shorter term than original works.

The bible is public domain, but there are copyrighted editions. The same can be said for most historical works of note. There are copyrighted editions of Beethoven’s symphonies, Shakespeare’s plays, and Arthur Conan Doyle’s books, despite the original works being public domain.

I don’t think copyrights are evidence for or against the existence of any god, or the validity of any religion. The fact that there are copyrighted editions means there is interest in studying the texts, which is true for every extant religion.

Elon is smart enough to not ride his own rockets, he too will be smart enough to not enter his own subsea tunnel. Which is a shame.

Elections are run locally. You can get involved.

voter suppression. non proportional representation.

the pitifully low voter turnout is a systemic issue.

The UN was formed after WWII and it was a scheme by the allies to cement their power going forward. All permanent security council members with veto power were the winning side of WWII.

The UN basically has no powers against the wishes of any member with a veto.

They let him host the Olympics, so yeah probably.

Also the US has veto power at the UN. So nothing can be done unless the US approves. Since the US enthusiastically supports genocide, nothing can be done.

Open puts on the company you’re about to officially insult to profit on the way down too.

I’m more impressed by the number of unions.

And now Vegas is suffering from the actions of outside groups. A truly independent Vegas is the only good ending.

This article gives no information about the status of this bill, or even the number for the bill so you can look it up yourself.

Covering bills like this at the point of introduction is pure fearmongering. Anyone in the legislature can introduce a bill. Most bills go nowhere. Unless it leaves committee or gets co-sponsors, it’s not really being considered at all.

If something happens with this make sure to pay attention. But covering this at this point is just trying to make you afraid to get a click.

Nearly all studies cited by right wingers are really old and debunked. They cherry pick to the one thing they can find that supports their views.

It’s also a myth that appears in trans communities on occasion. The right wing misogynist to trans-girl pipeline is alive and well.
