Turns out he maybe fucked either way!

It’s now down 18.5% on the day! I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon has used a lot of his shares to guarantee loans that will now come due.

Is this sarcasm? Sponsorships are not the same as ads.

They didn’t cause the Great depression, but they did make it worse.

Just so everyone knows. Child poverty went down because Dems had enough power to expand the child tax credit as part of Bidens American rescue plan. The expanded credit then expired and Republicans have blocked passage of the renewed expansion. This is another thing where Republicans will do anything to harm Democrats including voting against extremely popular programs. I agree that it sucks the poverty went back up, but Dems reduced it and Republicans increased it.

I can’t find a solid confirmation but it looks like as part of the law killing the strike and enacting the recommendations of the emergency board, the attendance rules creating points was vacated without further agreements from the unions. So from what I can tell, your statement is incorrect. I looked up the emergency board’s recommendations but I didn’t do a deep dive into the law to confirm. Link to the recommendations below.

If they did nothing then why did the IBEW thank them for the effort? Yea they didn’t get everything they asked for, that’s how negotions work. The people that were effected thanked the Biden admin, why don’t you believe them? Also according to Reuters, most get 5 paid sick days + 2 convertibles.

I agree with you for the most part. That being said I have tried to explain this point to multiple people and they don’t care that the Biden admin got the rail workers what they asked for. They insist that stopping the strike means Biden was anti union full stop even after the IBEW put out releases thanking the Biden admin. they also said it was just propaganda. It’s just as much about people not wanting to listen.

I tried the purple cushion and it wasn’t worth it. But besides that I don’t have a recommendation.

You can also find steelcase chairs on eBay for reasonable prices. They have all the adjustments and a wide variety of material options.

Same

I don’t disagree. Different parties have different makeups. Dems are big tent and Repubs are unified single issue voters.

Few things here.

1. The war didn’t take Congressional action to start. Bush started it unilaterally and was later authorized in a bipartisan manner.
2. Republicans almost always act as a unified block regardless of what’s happening. There was one or two that acted like they might not vote with them but still had a 95%+ voting record. That’s why it was so amazing when John McCain prevented the killing of the ACA.
   3.The Senate heavily favors Republicans because of the number of small states so it’s much easier for them to get 50+ members and the house mildly favors the Republicans because of gerrymandering.
3. It’s easier to kill things and change the tax code than pass positive programs/laws. Because funding/tax bills have to originate from the House, the Senate historically just requires an up/down vote instead of requiring 60 votes like normal. This in association with 2 means programs can be starved of funding and tax changes are much easier for Republicans.
4. Democrats will vote for Republican sponsored things if it benefits the people. Like keeping the government open or the minor crime reform bill the was passed during Trump. The reverse largely isn’t true.

This isn’t defeatist. It’s a realistic understanding of how the systems work. The fact that we got so many major things passed with such a tiny amount of control and in such a small amount of time is amazing.

How many of those could be done with the amount of control the Dems have had in the past 8 years? They had full control of the government with the barest of majorities for 2 years with 2 senators that were basically liberal Republicans. You got Gaza, but besides that the rest require Congressional action. While in control they did get the biggest investment in green energy ever, they did get substantial increases for infrastructure (including public transport), and they substantially increased the amount of tech that will be made in the US.

Why didn’t you get those things done? Because you didn’t have the power to do it, just like Dems didn’t.

I don’t think you need to worry about sizes (or pitch) everything I have gotten from them has been correct but material and strength (temper) are definitely something to be wary of. So yea if you need ansi strength out of a bolt don’t get it from Amazon, but if you are just using a 1/4"-20 to fasten something together you’re probably fine.

Surprisingly enough, Amazon has a wide selection of bolts/hardware at good prices and reasonable delivery times 2-4 days normally.

That looks like a whole bunch of potential for next season!

You got some of those … references to back this info? As much as I would love to believe this, an image with no references is worthless.

Worked really well for me, just put in an API key to actual budget and it pulls all the info from simple fin. Only thing that doesn’t pull for me it categories of the transactions so you have to manually set them up in actual but it does allow for rules.

Based on the video from tokopedia, it seems like you might just need a depinning tool. But these look extremely cheap, so buy a spare and pull it apart to figure it out. I doubt you can replace just the gasket and you will probably need to replace the whole connector.
