Give it 18 months and Dems will be crying foul…

Good question. Perhaps your GoogleFu is better than mine...

@Copper said in 673: It is time to fire every college professor in the country. We did it with Air Traffic Controllers. It would be worth the hassle. I worked a side hustle as an adjunct for ten years. In many departments you could can every other one and never miss a beat. I think we need to change the tax code back to what it used to be, regarding housing. I think preachers and professors should not be taxed on housing. I also think that any professor's children and his spouse, should receive free tuition and fees at the university where he teaches. I also think we need to take a looong look at at exactly how industrial, government and university research is linked. And I think we need to take a very hard look at the cost of public university tutition, how basic courses are delivered and how testing is done. I think a canned course is fine for most 200 level courses and lower, if access is granted for student questions and testing is monitored.

@George-K said in When trains are too long ...: @Axtremus said in When trains are too long ...: You miss the part about rail roads falling under federal jurisdiction. The local governments are powerless in many cases. If a train obstructs a crossing for a prolonged period of time, the municipality has the authority to ticket or fine the railroad. The article talks about a federal court decision that curtailed municipalities’ power to issue tickets to railroad companies.

As I’ve said, in future years people will look back on this with horror.

"They buried them with all their stuff so they wouldn't have to shop when they get there." LOL

@George-K The only people who pay attention to what Trudeau says are foreigners and rural Albertans who don’t know any better. As a country we have moved past the pandemic and care little or nothing for what was or wasn’t federally mandated at the time. In any case, the vast majority of vaccine mandates were declared and enforced at the level of provincial governments. The federal government has very limited constitutional authority over public health measures in the country.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Music Promotes White Supremacy: So, this is primarily a funding issue rather than a racism issue? Whether Ax will admit or not, both stories are true.

@Horace said in If your mother is crazy...: @Jolly said in If your mother is crazy...: There's always some kind of social silliness, just sometimes it's worse than others. What we do have today, is a ten-foot wide pipeline of information and people who probably know less immutable Truths than at most times in history. So they grab onto whatever plank floats by in the torrent, hoping they've found enlightenment, when all they've found is just another piece of wood. A psychologist named Jonathan Haidt, who is far to the left of Jordan Peterson, but still heterodox, has been studying this through his career. His career has coincidentally overlapped with the advent of the internet and social media. Women's mental health is more adversely affected by social media than men's mental health. The feminization of the institutions we're watching, is a feminization of females who've been raised on social media. These are not your parents' females. Link to video By Jove, I think he's got something...

My niece has become quite a good one over the last several years. Of course, she has her father's practice to inherit, so that makes it easier.

@Axtremus @jon-nyc Yes, that is the chart I remember. Thanks!!!

Unless they decide they don't want Biden back. The trick will be to force him out early enough to pick a White Knight, without handing the Oval Office to the GOP. If that happens, they'll tear the Biden Syndicate to pieces, evidence be damned.

@taiwan_girl There’s no explicit limit to the pardon power but there could in theory be a Supreme Court review. There could be originalist or “framer’s intent” arguments against something as brazen as pardoning oneself. My guess is it would stand however. There is precedent of Presidential pardons of family members. Clinton pardoned his loser half brother from old cocaine trafficking charges.

@Mik said in Four US Marines killed, 3 wounded in ‘complex’ series of terror attacks rocking Kabul: Who exactly remains to be seen. I think there is some pun there! LOL

@Jolly They should give you a finder fee if that happens!!

@jon-nyc said in For Horace: @Horace I accept it - in the sense that I find the memes funny - but frankly I don’t like the idea that the culture decided we can have a running joke about people of a certain phenotype just because those phenotypes (white females of a certain age) are disfavored in the intersectional hierarchy. Imagine an analogous memetic complex concerning “Laqishas” and whether or not it would get the same play. Middle age white female is necessary for Karen but hardly sufficient. The resonance is about personality characteristics. Which are of course not exclusive to the phenotype.
