What’s funny sad about South Dakota is that it’s a welfare state. Wouldn’t really exist without fed money. Love the message of “we’ll accept charity but not offer it if we don’t have to”

I don’t quite understand your point, please elaborate.

Bet you there’s been at least one person who has done the math.

So at what point do you think folks in the western world will take inspiration from other places to not allow things to get to that juncture? Whether it be expansion of unions like Sweden to ensure power is returned to the people or we start having protests that escalate and start burning things down like France?

This article is pussyfooting the issue. Oil companies have reported record profits for 2-3 years in a row. The article claims “greedflation doesn’t have an exact science” while also quoting the same thing “… reap ‘excess profits’, setting prices higher than would be socially and economically beneficial”.

i can’t say I speak for others, but I was accepting of a year or two of companies “making up” for the hit they took during the height of the pandemic, but governments need to put them back into place and regulate their latest exploits. Enough has now been enough.

wherever governments are going to support the freedom for companies to make money at the cost of many thousands of people even being able to afford necessities. Either there needs to be a limit their profits to benefit all, or we need to restructure to tax those earnings to provide a UBI that provides all necessities.

Because they think they’re right, others are wrong and that’s how laws should work

“Companies and their lawyers should take findings of religious discrimination as seriously as discrimination based on race (or) sex,” Lucas said.

Yeah, totally makes sense to hold beliefs that are chosen at the same regard as things you’re born with /s

But he wasn’t meaning to murder, this good kid was just trying to quell their boredom by causing bodily injury to people they they perceive as less than a person. /s I’d bet money that if this kid isn’t charged, they’ll become a cop.

This personally irks me. I bought into their marketing on the first elite controller, but the switches on the small board for the paddles were easily damaged from the metal paddles. I had even called M$ trying to get a warranty replacement (accessories only have 30 day warranty and mine was less than a year old) quote for repairs, or where to get parts to sauter new switches. Though the pricing for that same board for the 2nd version is half the price of a new replacement, and only $10-20 cheaper then a replacement of a non-generic standard controller. Glad I didn’t bother giving them a 2nd chance.
