Others have answered, but the reason why “states’ rights” don’t matter at the Federal level is the Supremacy Clause. States can be more restrictive than the Federal government, but cannot be more lax/loose. An interesting aside is the states that have legalized marijuana usage, where the Federal government has (as of yet) not cracked down on that. It is within constitutional power to do so, but just hasn’t.

The US is the primary military force protecting Taiwan, by treaty. That’s likely why.

Apple One+

Music, TV, Games, and 50GB storage for $10/month via Verizon.

iPhone user here, with an ad blocker in Safari and DNS-based ad blocking. Don’t assume all iPhone users are in that category…

This is because they are paid for the canvassing, right? I can’t fathom a reason why to bother with this, if not for that. Other than maybe some Dem tomfoolery to skew the ground game reporting, I guess.

Investing billions

Weren’t the headlines a week or two ago about Microsoft trying to get taxpayer funded aid for reopening 3-mile Island? Companies shouldn’t be asking for taxpayer funded handouts when they are basically printing money at this point.

Fucking Woodward. We’re going to be getting these tidbits dropped all the way through the election. This guy and his antics to sell books…

Isn’t Microsoft Copilot just ChatGPT?

It’s always to sell a book, never when it could actually matter in real time.

They missed the 25-foot waterproof wall, for the actual damage, the storm surge…

Wouldn’t matter. The only means of reversing this is impeachment of a SCOTUS judge, or him stepping down willingly. That’s why things like passing laws for term limits matter, to at least eventually get these people off the bench.

People on the opposite side of that tolerance spectrum look at us avid ad avoiders like we put in too much effort to do that, so I see it as two sides of the same coin. I started blocking/avoiding ads due to the nuisance, long before privacy and security became even more prevalent attack vectors through advertising. That was just a benefit to the time saved by blocking ads, but not it’s a primary use case.

Unlikely all 4 though. Give people 1-2 they can map services two, instead of multiple wasted (branded) buttons.

I learned my lesson from the early days of covid. Buy that good stuff i bulk as a habit, not as an emergency reaction.

I’m like 80% sure they were being sarcastic in that comment. I hope so anyways.

Biden went somewhere on this?

Both of those scenarios still leave a conservative majority. Unless a Dem Senate pulls a McConnell on new nominations.

Well yeah, that’s technically their purpose.

States legalizing it are doing so because the federal government is basically turning a blind eye to the supremacy clause on that topic (for the most part). States always have the right to be more restrictive than the federal government, but when they try to make laws less restrictive, it’s technically not on solid legal ground. That said, laws only matter when they are either enforced, or blindly followed.

I guess that means the US will send another $10B “self defense” aid package, again. Sigh.
