Historically, union workers were assured dem voters. This changed as the dems left organized labor out to dry.
That’s according to the republican governor.
Not saying it’s wrong, but he does have an incentive to divert attention to his insane base. Also it’s not uncommon to conceal where the call is coming from.
How does that translate into calling in bomb threats at schools though?
Is there some rumor that Springfield schools are teaching DEI wokeness and providing bottom surgery to Haitian children?
Why is this happening? Who the hell is calling in mass bomb threats? It’s not even exam time.
If I actually believed he would disband NATO and dismantle the American empire, for the sake of most of humanity, I’d have to vote for him.
The only reason he is threatening NATO is because he feels it’s not doing enough imperialism.
I didn’t believe him in 2016, and the fact that he didn’t do it makes him even less credible than he was back then.
He also claimed the purpose of the threat was to strengthen NATO by getting more countries to increase their military budgets. Trump isn’t anti-imperialist.
If you look up the guy’s (now deleted) twitter, the guy was a pro-NATO nutcase who I guess earnestly believed Trump would disband NATO.
I’m not calling all people who are pro-NATO nutcases, I mean the dude was mentally ill and extremely pro NATO, claimed he had thousands of “NATO-trained Afghan troops” ready to defend Taiwan, claimed he was going to go fight in Ukraine, tried to buy a rocket from Elon Musk to assassinate Putin, etc.
Here’s his extremely hinged website: https://taiwanforeignlegion.com/
Damn, you’re getting George Soros bucks?
Would you show me what lead you to believe this? Do you have any evidence of an account whose actions are consistent with those of a bot? Say reposting old comments as a response to a repost to build fake history, or pretending to be one thing in one case and not others, or a sudden shift in content indicating the account was sold?
Or is it just easier to believe as it gives you an excuse not to examine your own beliefs?
This is a tiny place, and unlike reddit, there’s not enough history that you can just make bots repost old threads and comments or buy old accounts to generate fake histories without people catching on, and the admins of the instances would probably call it out if they noticed anything awry.
Do you genuinely believe that?
DocToPdf Disrespect was quietly banned from twitch, and then responded to allegations that he was sexting minors with “age of consent varies between states, what I did wasn’t even illegal and what even is sexting? This is just haters trying to ruin my day”
This is likely due to the difference in market segments, electric vehicles in North America occupy the high-end segment
This seems accurate, US car manufacturers are exactly where they want to be with a captive market where the average new car price is up to $50,000
Some have speculated that this is so they can price out the competition as these subsidies are unsustainable
It looks like they have an exemption from the 10% sales tax, plus up to $2600 rebate for trade-ins.
For comparison, the Cash For Clunkers under Obama was up to $4,500.

The statistics I can find suggests EVs make up between 5% and 15% of new cars sales in the US. For comparison, in China the majority of new cars are EVs.

Laziness on who’s part?
The automakers don’t like EVs because they have much better margins on pickups and SUVs. Dealers don’t like EVs because they require less maintenance, which cuts future revenue. The politicians don’t like EVs because their campaigns are financed by the big auto companies and dealership owners.
“just budget better bro” isn’t a response to a systemic criticism.
sending DNA data to another country
This is a cop-out.
All companies handing US medical data have to comply with HIPA.
suspect standards
This is also a cop-out.
All cars sold in the US have to meet US regulations.
I’m not trying to be a jerk
You’re grasping at straws trying to excuse our representatives representing capital over us. Can’t sell $60,000 SUVs when a $20,000 EV is higher quality.
Can’t have Americans getting cheap EVs or cancer screening tests.
The KGB hasn’t existed for over 30 years.
But no, the KGB was nowhere near as evil as the CIA. Here’s one instance of what happens when the CIA is sucessful.
You can find similar atrocities in every single country in South America. Also Afghanistan and much of Africa.
