RIP Taiwanese electronic device export economy.

They don’t need military capability, just influence and control over regional freight and shipping, which they have in spades.

She is playing a post-Trump game and knows a looming power vacuum when she sees one.

It is interesting how easily the article passes off ‘stacking courts’ as more of a danger with elections than appointments.

have been forced out of their jobs and are now trying something new

I mean that is all there is to say, really.

Haspil resigned a year later but continued to steal money, even after Saleh discovered the theft and let Haspil repay him over two years to avoid criminal prosecution.

Well that didn’t work out.

Unfortunately this person did not have a western sounding name so there’s going to be even less attention than Rachel’s murder received.

Revolutions are long-term work. They are not nor ever have been overnight affairs throughout history.

Now there’s an adage attributed to everyone’s favoritr 20th century revolutionary actor: “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”

These are to be taken into account together. Don’t mistake those weeks as separate or independent from the decades.

It can get very litigious.

Everything is lawyered to the point the administrative bureaucracy is refreshingly straightforward.

A large part of the barriers are that tribal lands are federally managed. State agencies that directly involve with the issues of climate change are out of their jurisdiction on tribal lands.

Even state agencies that directly manage and implement things like water quality, water rights, and especially fishing rights and the salmon runs have to work with tribes through the federal government.

And unfortunately with the tribes being sovereign there’s a chronic authority complex between local governments that handle and implement virtually every state program.

Simultaneously having to manage four distinct levels of government is a bureaucratic hellscape.

Source: works and has worked in government in these issues, with these specific tribes, at various and different levels and agencies for almost a decade.

A few wooden stakes, a roll of chicken wire, an AR-15, and an overwatching IDF sniper or armored vehicle. That’s your settler starter pack.

After the Super Nintendo came out, it really did become a term for differentiating which ‘Nintendo’ you might’ve had in the 90s.

Yeah that’s true. I was lucky enough to have gotten a mortgage right before covid so I haven’t personal experience on rent hikes as a result, I recognize.

My 2007 apartment was $475. It is now $1,485.

Rents were fairlyish stable until the housing market crash.

That apartment was $790 in 2010. The rent hike was a long time ago, and since then it has just more or less been following inflation/gouging patterns seen elsewhere.

It is really quite something how Obama almost categorically opted to give up without a fight on virtually every issue. He had to be dragged across the finish line for the ACA and was trying to kill the public option before Lieberman even took that charge up.

The backroom politics of the Obama years should have primed anyone for what came after.

I see this sentiment a whole lot. Unless you were like, one of the few thousand people in a swing district in a swing state, that vote, for/against/thirdparty/nonvote likely had zero impact. Tens of millions of voters have their votes dumpstered because of thr electoral college. California Trump voters and Tennessee Democrats, alike.

Unless you know your vote would’ve swung your district and also your state, do not sweat having put faith in a camp. Besides it is about policy, not people or party.

If someone is focused on people or party at the expense of any policy? You’re probably not dealing with strong leftist sentiment to begin with.

A kinder, gentler mass deportation and border militarization is pretty on point with the bipartisan border plan being touted.

More Romina vibes.

They use ‘loaded words’ so they are ‘mixed’!
