Maybe you and the fam can pack a picnic lunch and come spectate at one of the battles

The question neither includes or excludes. I did not include you in that either. I’m asking if 3% is enough this time.

I can see why you get frustrated though. You read so much into things.

Speaking vaguely, and then complaining that other's don't understand what you REALLY meant, is Kut from familiar cloth

Something like 160 million men, not going to try to parse the numbers of too old, or too chicken or too effeminate or too triggered

.03 X 160,000,000 = 4,800,000

I think the entire army, guard and polizei total less than 2 million

you make the call

Well. I think that they had too old, too chicken, and too effeminate back in the day. Maybe smaller portions of the latter. I think that would map to what we used to call mama’s boys. Not sure how to map “too triggered” to that era though. Maybe the Tories?

Anyway, I think I’m asking the question wrong. I think my doubts are that it would even be 3% today.

Will you be in the visitors bleachers on the other side? Bicycle padlocked to the bike rack near the visitors entrance. Team hat on. Wearing the colors. Waving the #1 big hand sign.

Vaguely? I guess if you don’t read.

The most significant climate measures passed by states in 2023

While 2022 was the year in which significant climate legislation had passed at the federal level, 2023 was the year in which states led the way in passing consequential bills.

How about a law that states, when you have multiple houses, houses are over 2k sq ft, electric bill is thousands per month, you fly private jets.... that you don't get to tell others what to do.

Al Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth'? -- A $30,000 Utility Bill

abcnews.go.com

Armed with Gore's utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.

"If this were any other person with $30,000-a-year in utility bills, I wouldn't care," says the Center's 27-year-old president, Drew Johnson. "But he tells other people how to live and he's not following his own rules."

The Associated Press’s latest foreign donor wants to transform journalists into "community activists on climate change." The AP doesn’t seem interested in publicizing that.

Where is this in the powers delegated to the Federal government?

Where is this in the powers delegated to the Federal government?

General welfare? Pretty much everything else is justified with that or the commerce clause.

 

[jwamplerusa]

General welfare? Pretty much everything else is justified with that or the commerce clause.

Taking that position pretty much neuters the 9th and 10th amendments.

The clause states, "To regulate commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;"

In Justice Joseph Story's Commentaries on the Constitution paragraph 515, the example given is clearly restraint of trade via tariffs imposed by one State for transit of goods through another State.

Any power claimed by the Federal government must pass all elements of the Constitution, including the restrictions of the BoRs being paramount.

Personally I find the abuse of the general welfare and commerce clauses to be a tyrannical overreach contrary to the limitations of the 9th and 10th amendments. Guess we are all lucky I'm not in a position of authority.

I think that falls under DUH!

Amazing to me how corporations screaming about profit at all costs have somehow been duped into hiring people via the lens of DEI and supporting garbage that clearly isn't profitable for any but the elite pushing their scams.

I am starting to see cracks in DEI/ESG. I think CEO's were sold a promise and it hasn't worked out.

I'm still not sure how it ever passed the smell test TBH. Meritocracy is the only valid way of a company being successful and hiring based on stupid like skin color and gender are the opposite of that.
