They never said it wasn’t, just that we should start with the 1% and only once they are back down to a realistic wealth level do we start taxing people who are working class. At a decent pay rate (100k/yr) a million is achievable over a career, a billion is not and can only be had through consolidation of wealth.

Trump is a figurehead and mouth piece only, it’s clear the backing and power behind him is pushing him, not the other way around. If Trump is dead or unelectable then they will sub in someone else. Trump’s “saving grace” is that he was good at speaking in a relatable but obfuscating way which worked to foment the masses against imagined grievances, but that’s not a trait unique to him. He is unfortunately replaceable with not much loss in momentum.

They never will because then they would need to give valve a cut for the micro transaction purchases made in the ubisoft launcher. Also they lose that advertising platform

They meant you see video evidence of it on YouTube, not go yourself.

I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that

Aircraft Maintenance Controller, I coordinate and advise on the maintenance operations for a fleet of cargo 737’s and 767’s. It’s a lot of auditing and making sure everything is done right, but also troubleshooting advice and on the operations side it’s a lot of making a plan to keep the flight schedule as intact as possible while still handling maintenance issues.

Dishonored series was pretty good at offering and rewarding a peaceful playthtrough. It was definitely the more difficult option but usually worth it.

I think that would also see an eventual reduction in device costs eventually as more people will be unable to pay the premium costs of a flagship device. Or the mid tier devices will start selling more, androids popularity will probably rise too, matching the rest of the world

It’s only a thing if you are on some form of lease plan where you don’t own it outright. Pretty much every carrier in the US sells phones on a monthly payment for the device, which usually is just the cost of the device spread over 30 months, etc. While the device is still not paid off its carrier locked. After its paid off you need to jump through a few hoops but it’s honestly not too hard. I’m not sure what the FCC is hoping to accomplish here, it’s a similar arrangement to leasing/financing a vehicle, where the dealership holds the title till it’s bought/paid off.

Exactly my experience as well, I work in a very conservative industry and everyone who mentions rank choice voting blames the R losses on it. The first vote with it, it was clear that they had their head in the sand about how it worked because they thought it would fail, then came the “Rank the red” which didn’t work. It’s very surprising to them when people don’t vote the way they think they should. Their whole attitude is very childish and tribal.

Also it’s cool to see another Alaskan on here.

I’m not sure it would survive a repeal measure vote, any conservative support it seemed to have has eroded because it hasn’t worked in their favor and their team keeps losing. I’ve even heard it blamed for elections that weren’t ranked choice like the Anchorage mayoral election. We’ll see how long it lasts but I’m not hopeful
