Other people can attract mates who wash their asses and aren’t incontinent.
It goes into more detail in the article about how they qualify for that rebate, and no, that’s not how it works.
You’re getting a lot of downvotes, but I see you, friend.
Studios shoot in the UK to benefit from its Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) which gives them a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend in the country.
It’s not like they were handed a blank check, they spent hundreds of millions more paying people and buying stuff in the UK to get that rebate
Texas is solidly in the lower half of US states for residential energy costs. You probably read about some people who bought into a “wholesale” energy provider who got fucked during the winter storm in 2021, but that situation involved a very small number of people who made a bad choice and does not generalize to the whole state.
I honestly think the inverse of what you’re saying is true…Texas invested billions in the 2000s in transmission capacity between West Texas and where everyone lives in Central and East Texas, opening up West Texas to wind and solar development. Texas is now #1 in wind generating capacity and #2 in solar, after California.
All that mess that happened in 2021 was due to corruption within the Texas Railroad Commission, which had the power to force natural gas electric generating facilities to winterize but did not do so. When the temperature dropped to 4°, the natural gas plants froze and went offline almost all at once, causing an immediate drop in power supply necessitating severe and immediate power cuts statewide to protect the grid from failure. Circuits were reenergized slowly over the following few days, but it stayed really cold for really long. I had personally never been through weather even remotely like that in my 35 years in Texas.
All the other outages you’ve heard about in Texas were mechanical outages, localized areas where power lines were damaged by weather, like Austin in the '23 ice storm or Houston after Hurricane Beryl this past July. People on here generalize these to “Texas’s grid is failing again!”, but every state and every nation faces the same challenges with weather-related mechanical outages.
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.
Pretty crazy how quickly the owners rolled over for a 62% pay increase. Jesus Christ how much were they fucking over these workers before
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
If you shoot someone in your home who you previously invited into your home, you’re going to prison.
The court’s decision in Toma’s case may have stemmed from several factors. When Sencuk applied for the protective order, he indicated Toma was a roommate — not the homeowner — so the nature of their relationship may not have been clear to the judge.
Additionally, Sencuk claimed he and Toma had an agreement that he would perform various maintenance and chores around the property in exchange for living in the garage, which may have seemed credible to the court. Toma denies this arrangement ever existed.
However, since the protective order was issued, Sencuk has moved out.
The guy never claimed “squatters rights,” he sought a protective order against the other people in the house and lied to get it, then moved out before it was even issued

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