Nice! Looks like you answered a "million+ year" conundrum within 1 hour.

Yet another reason why it matters to vote for the Democrats.

David Calhoun apologized to the families of Boeing crash victims, saying the manufacturer was “totally committed” to future saftey improvements, as he began testimony at the committee on Tuesday.

Cue South Park investment banker BP oil spill apology.

Also, "saftey"? Seriously, Independent?

They should be charged an "inconvenience fee" for each and every person whose data was breached.

The media and its followers fall for this every time!

  • Step 1: accept to debate = promotional articles.
  • Step 2: walk it back, pretend you will back out = 2x promotional articles.
  • Step 3: allow them to simmer and plead for you to re-commit = 3x promotional articles.
  • Step 4: receive praise for re-committing = 4x promotional articles.

Meanwhile, in Biden land:

  • Step 1: accept to debate = get 1/4 the promotional articles orange traitor got, and none of the anticipation.

It's too easy for him. He gets 4x the press without even trying.

The first time the price of a good changes between the time I put it in my cart/basket and checkout, I will be starting a class-action lawsuit against corporate fraud.

Taking a break from blasting civilians I see?

With that despicable personality, and a face that looks more and more like a blob fish removed from the ocean depths, this guy proves on a daily basis that money can't buy everything.

Imagine the options we would have if we instead subsidized plant-based alternatives and the research to get us away from meat and dairy. There's no reason for continuing the cruelty and wasting natural resources like we do when we know better.

You don't think there's a chance that working 4 days instead of 5 reduces the physical toll to keep you going longer and working better? Wouldn't working 4 days a week reduce your stress, allow you to recover from all that heavy lifting you mentioned, and improve your physical and mental health on the long-run?

Besides, as I understand it, if your company still wants you to work 5 days, you would still have the option. This bill would require them to pay you overtime for that extra day.

Fun fact: I made a histogram of the deaths on Mount Everest

I am still struggling to understand it. It seems a company can defy laws that are broad, within reason, if they were not explicitly named in the law? Chevron deference (Cornell Law)

Sounds to me like it gives power to corporations to be exempt from regulations. Is that the gist of it?

I'm an immigrant and US citizen that's lived here for 28 years. These people (republicans) have done nothing but demonize people like me for as long as I can remember, and it's getting more and more hateful every year. We are just people who want to live peacefully and give back through our hard work. We came here thinking that this was a multi-cultural and freedom-loving nation. Instead we are constantly reminded of the hateful hypocrisy in many Americans whose family immigrated here not long before us.

Why did you have to share through Reddit though, just to post a Reddit screenshot image?

Argentina is one of the countries with the most coastline on the Atlantic Ocean.

I can't possibly shop there any less than I already do, but this is good to know.

I did mean the BP apology, good catch.

My experience with LibReddit:

"Failed to parse page JSON data: EOF while parsing a value at line 1 column 0 Reddit Status Head back home?"

I wonder if you would have to stick it while in vacuum for the condition to really be replicated.

Actually, that's a good catch, it does look like a chin rest. Maybe it's a violin after all, or a viola. Also, I must apologize ... I had it confused with another popular meme image. Here they are for comparison:

violin/viola?

cello?

You can contribute toward making the duopoly lean one way or the other based on consistent voting. Or you can stop votiing and thereby disenfranchising yourself.
