There's a reason it's called "the northern most southern state".

The problem comes when conservatives see the rainbow flag (or any of the other numerous pride flags) as a direct attack on their religion. I grew up in a very conservative area of a very red state, and I can tell you from personal experience that an attack on their religion will feel like a personal attack against them. They might be flying the thin blue line flag as a "fuck your feelings" flag, but it's likely because they see any pride flag as a "fuck your religion" flag.
This really stems from the larger issue of tying religion and politics together; now they can view any challenges to their political views as a challenge to their religious views. One thing Christianity is very good at is building a victim complex and that Jesus/ the church is the most important thing in this life or the next, and that preconditions their followers to believe that they will have to dig in harder in the face of adversity.
I think the real key is to make everyone realize that freedom of religious is the same as freedom from religion as well. Once we can all get on the same page that making something legal and available (like women's healthcare) is not the same as a government endorsement and still allows people to not use the service. Getting over that hurdle might take away a huge arm of the right-wing propaganda machine (allowing priests and ministers to give political messages from the pulpit) and might help the wheels of government to turn a little smoother.
This is incredible news! While 20,000 is fewer jobs than I would have liked, it's still 20,000 more people that are fighting to save our planet than we had before. Plus all those jobs will provide income to all those people and families, and they'll be able to recirculate those funds to their local economies. I bet this program will generate more income than it's cost over the long run, and that's not even counting all the monetary savings that a more stable (or at least slower changing) climate will bring.
I don't think it's as likely that the Feds break this strike like they did with the railroads. Their argument against the rails was that almost every other industry relies on them to move product, while having fewer new cars will only effect the new and used car markets. With however hundreds of millions of usable vehicles that are already out there, this strike doesn't really have the same opportunity to spill over to the larger economy.
I like the idea of Secret Service enrichment activities being exactly like dog enrichment. They just release a bunch of Government mooks into a room with some of those doggie treats puzzles, but I stead of beggin strips, it's full of domestic terrorists addresses.
My Ex used to work in Saks 5th Avenue, so I would often browse around while waiting for them. I once saw a short sleeve button up shirt on the clearance rack that I really liked. It was $175 after the discount. I never seriously shopped in there after that.
That may be true, but what the article was really trying to point out was how increases in these college areas (and therefore college aged voters) is starting to make a big difference. The example they gave was that, at least in the most recent election, the area around Madison used to cancel out the red suburbs around Milwaukee, but now Madison is so strongly liberal that they out weigh those suburbs and therefore tip the scales in favor of Dems. If this trend continues, and if the Dems can replicate it in other swing states (big "if"), then it could change the way politics are played in America.
If the UAW can get a 32-hour week, that would be a MASSIVE step in getting it done for the rest of the work force. It would be a perfect example of how unions benefit all workers, not just the ones actually in the union.
How many stories have come out proving that this whole court is corrupt, yet nothing seems to be able to be done about it. Seriously, what is there to do as an average citizen? A out the only way I see out of this is impeachment, which likely won't work, or packing the court, which Biden is too much of a coward to do.

I had a friend try something similar with Hello Fresh; he got a free sample from another friend but wanted to remove his data afterwards. It took a lot of deep website navigating and a phone call, and even then it was going to take "up to 60 business days" or assume BS to actually remove his data. They make it difficult to remove on purpose while technically being able to say they will.
It was right in the first paragraph of the article.
"...deploying corps members to work in wind and solar production as well as environmental conservation projects."
So yes, it (should be) more than just trail work.
We have the MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price), but that's not given for every product, but more importantly it's exactly what it sounds like; a suggestion. There's no governing body to make sure stores are in line with MSRP.
Pope Francis has already said that if intelligent life is found, that they would also be considered children of God, so you're right on your first point.
But now they separate your subscribed channel's shorts for their regular videos. Since most channels put out 3-6 shorts a day, all they did was clog my feed. Now I can at least ignore the shorts section to see the long form videos I care about.
For easy drinks (beer, wine, or simple liquor/ soda mixes), $1 is fine. If they have to bust out a tool like a muddler or peeler, you should probably give more than $1.
Then why say anything?
(Emphasis mine)
Pretty sure that's the point...
