If Vance gets absolutely demolished, which by all available evidence seems to be likely, Trump will clamor for another debate to try and fix things. If its middling, probably not.

Old folks are retired, thus more free time, and I'm guessing there's a bit of civic duty imprinted on them as well.

You can only get more conservative when you have things to protect like a house and a pension.

Most millennials retirement plan atm is die of heatstroke in 150 degree weather in a 8 person shared apartment in Alaska.

Previously, any time they'd normally go to court, which was fairly rare, per the article.

Twofold: One, they lost a case in arbitration that basically said arbitration isn't usable.

Two: Lot of companies do arbitration to avoid court, which works fine and is cheaper if you're not getting taken to court much. If 75,000 people that could do a class action suit all go to arbitration though, the benefit is lost. Lawyers threatened that. 3 grand a arbitration case x 75,000 people == 225 million dollars on fees alone.

Which would be replaced with “Can the Democrat win California by a large enough margin?”

If it's going to be fucked either way I'd rather at least have it be fucked in a way where every vote counts the same rather then a Wyoming vote being worth like 4 times a California vote owing to the house of representatives population being limited which means Californians aren't being properly represented in the house.

As opposed to now where like 10 states are tossups and the rest are locked in?

The comment you were replying to

This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.

Your comment stated, "They were eroding democracy..."

If I misread your implication, apologies, but the obvious question follows: If not Tesla, who is "they" in that context?

Do you remember the 21st day of September?

 

Presume he had just ate a power pellet, of course.

Followup matchups for your consideration:

  1. Slimer, from "Ghostbusters"
  2. Sadako, from "The Ring"
  3. Freddy Krueger, from "Nightmare on Elm Street"
  4. The clown from "It"
  5. A ring wraith from "Lord of the Rings"
 

Slightly late for President's Day in America, apologies.


Saw this article about the presidents being rated. William Henry Harrison came in 41st.

The thing to know about him is he was president for a month and then he died. That was his impact. He died. He didn't noticeably improve or worsen things (Based on his inaugural speech he might've been bad but he never got to act on it) because he had no time to because he died. Which consequently means he should be the null point we can base every other president on.

If the country was left even slightly better then you got it? Then you did a better job then Harrison. Was it left worse? Then you did worse. Did 40 presidents all make the country better and only 4 leave it worse? Tough to believe.
