And while I'm on the topic of companies with not so great behavior - Boeing is squandering decades of customer trust. Flying feels a lot risker (and may actually be so!) in a Boeing than in a long time.

Last year, Big Tech companies (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft) received about $3.04 billion in fines for breaking laws on both sides of the Atlantic. As of seven days and three hours into 2024, they had already earned enough revenue to pay it all off.

fines aren't working. govt needs to give them 3 trillion dollar fines or actually make privacy laws, and break up these tech monopolies.

The People's CDC has a new #COVID report[1] out that is worth a read (its pretty short).
TLDR:
- There is more covid circulating than at any time since summer '22.
- All States reporting wastewater data are high or very high.
- Booster adoption is abysmally low, especially compared to flu shots

Boudica investigating the consult room, whilst we waited for the vet.
She doesn’t like the one we saw today. Lowered and pushed herself into the crook of my arm when he came in!

It's rootbound. It needs a bigger pot. Ever find out what caused the shards in your grill?

Since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Dixiecrats migrated over to the Republican Party and the new Democratic Party was considered such because of growing Black membership. Cowtowing to Dixiecrats was essential to win elections because there were too damn many of 'em and Blacks were a minority.
And that's why a Dixiecrat-dominated Congress has no business getting swept under the rug like that. There's zero excuse for the political fiction published by those rags.
@blogdiva
The Nation article is also a book review of the opinion of one person who gets government history wrong by parroting the GOP mantras about how everything is Clinton's fault. "Sunbelt States" my arse--the accurate term for the pols in those states is "Dixiecrat", a political animal not to be confused with other Democrats and in fact describes many in the Republican Party.
Nixon et seq were beneficiaries of appeals to the Dixiecrat including the election of southerner Jimmy Carter, because he was a southerner.

@nebkor
Otherwise said, you have no further factual defense to back up your claim. When the debater debates without facts, the debater turns into a parlor psychiatrist. Invariably. Ta ta.
@nebkor
The Reagan campaign included Democrats and he dubbed them "Reagan Democrats" so here's a reminder that Reagan was pro-union and was himself the president of one.
So your memory is in error, Significantly so.
