There are so many differences between this strike and the railroad strike you seem blissfully ignorant about. E g., a railroad strike would’ve halted all domestic and international trade within the US at the height of this last inflationary period, immediately having a negative impact on literally every American’s life, whereas this dockworkers’ strike only affected overseas imports/exports, leaving all domestic and North American trade intact and not immediately disrupting literally every American’s life.

Either way, the Biden Admin kept pressure on railroad owners for a contract in line with the railroad workers’ demands, and they won it.

So bailing out who? Sounds like they’re bailing out the people by building a more resilient energy grid, which some might instead define as an investment in the future

Biden literally did not cave to anything. This has nothing to do with Biden. The port owners and operators are the ones the workers were striking against lmao

No one is reading your paragraphs and paragraphs of text, fyi. After the first two sentences we stop.

We must not let our government stop another major strike.

They aren’t, and haven’t even implied they will. In fact, the Biden Admin has clearly communicated they stand on the side of the workers.

Also, the longshoreman strike is over, per lots of media reports since you wrote this screed two hours ago.

It’s not tasteful, but you’re right

I understand why you would be cynical but don’t understand at all how you came to that conclusion

Sales hurting your brain is only indicative of a healthy moral compass

This is not true based on any existing definition. You’re referring to a subset of talkative people

With all their beady little eyes and flappin’ heads so full of lies

Nuclear powers are famous for lobbing nukes, right

Not likely. How many similar Middle East conflicts have already happened since WWII? Why would this one be different

Most lightning bugs overwinter as larvae for two winters before pupating. A lot of the time, the weather and conditions two years prior can have a bigger effect on lightning bug numbers than the conditions that same year

Also the birds are definitely eating the insects, and that’s ok! There should be enough to go around. The bird poop is only going to support further ecological development of that soil

Also leave portions of your yard undisturbed year round. Leave those leaves in your garden and spray them down with the hose every now and then if they get dry. Also run all those “mosquito control” companies out of town, because they’re killing all the insects on all the properties around wherever they spray

Seriously sensationalist headline here

The comic isn’t a lie. Lightning bug eggs need wet soil, and leaf litter protects the ground from drying out. The leaf litter also creates habitat for lots of small invertebrates which will become the prey of lightning bug larvae that would otherwise starve in a well manicured lawn

As if that made a difference when the people being demonized were Italian or Irish. Immigrants have always been used as scapegoats in the US to divide the working class, even when they were white

Arrests for illegal crossings plummeted nearly 80% from December to July

The data disagrees with you. I think both are true…Republicans make up stories and use scare tactics about immigration to manipulate their voters, and the number of people crossing or attempting to cross the border illegally is significantly down from a year ago.

Also the Texas Tribune isn’t your enemy my man

Absolutely no reason to make cynical jokes about weather emergencies like this. Weather emergencies happen everywhere in the world

Joe Biden doing some heavy lifting in this narrative as a VP and one term president. If anything, Joe Biden and Bill Clinton actually prove this point that anyone can become president, both come from very modest means.

The Bushes, however, are a dysfunctional political dynasty stretching back to senator and investment banker Prescott Bush, George HW’s father, and Samuel Prescott Bush, a steel executive and industrialist, who was HW’s grandfather.

Also, you left out that this is the 3rd election in a row with Trump on the ballot.

Valleau was arraigned Friday on one felony count of ethnic intimidation and one misdemeanor count of assault and battery. He pleaded not guilty and was issued a $25,000 bond.

If convicted of ethnic intimidation, Valleau faces up to two years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.

That doesn’t include the misdemeanor assault charge. He’s not being charged with attempted murder, it sounds like he brandished a knife and yelled slurs but didn’t attack her.
