Not so sure you can blame Schumer on this one
The sad reality is that it was an unwinnable battle for the Democrats. The public blamed the GOP but Trump didn’t care.
In the meantime Trump was willing to starve Americans and ruin the holidays
You can’t win against that

Will they?
Lots of indications that MAGA isn’t as strong a force as it was as its members become disillusioned with the policies of Trump

You allowed the corruption of your Supreme Court
You decided the law didn’t matter when appointing justices, that party purity was the most important qualification
you have arrogant left (for the US) politicians and judges who refuse to step down when age and illness become issues
You -> USA

I’m skeptical
I don’t see how they get the bandwidth they need for data transfer for one
It sounds more like they couldn’t get funding for their autonomous robot space building dream so someone brainstormed adding AI to it to get the fools to part with their money

Sadly not unique to the US
Up here in Canada the “temporary” food banks from the 80s now serve 10% of the people living in Toronto
And not a peep from the government
But lots of talk of a nonsense tunnel to add capacity to major highway

It’s obvious and conspiracy theories don’t need to apply
Like any modern US company Microsoft measures success or failure based not on their financials but on their stock price
Pushing AI boosts their stock price
Just like their massive layoffs this year despite healthy profits

The big difference wasn’t that there wasn’t junk but that Reaganomics was only starting so most people still had a high enough income to buy quality, albeit with some exceptions
Don’t forget the poor quality the Detroit 3 were building back then

Partially survivor bias
There was lots of cheap junk made back then (I once had an elevator technician show me the 1980s call button that was cheaply made to use a push in friction socket bulb so repeated use would cause the bulb to fall out)

Which is why we have arbitration
A third party decides what the new deal will be
Research has shown in Canada the arbitration process that essential workers are forced by law to use gets the union better results that the ability to strike does

Because in some areas the corporation is so big that is effectively a monopoly which means customers aka voters get held hostage
As much as I think unions (in general) can be good there is a difference to say a store with 4 competitors going on strike vs an airline where there is no alternative

The problem with the Beer Store is it is primarily owned by the 2 big breweries (molson coors 51%, AB InBev 45%) which means it doesn’t like to stock the more independent things

I don’t drink beer so can’t give a recommendation
Maybe forget the Beer Store and try the LCBO, most of which should have a walk in cold room with a selection of beers and generally knowledgeable staff

Marketing is effective, particularly when it uses simple phrases that “seem correct “
Added bonus in this case as it creates a feedback loop.
More guns -> more shootings-> more guns -> more shootings…

We live in an era where food in the store has been abundant for so long that people no longer have any concept of how that food gets to the store
Most if not all of them at this point if asked would likely believe everything on a farm is now done by a machine, and that there is no manual labour

No, the GOP response is “thoughts and prayers”
It’s the MAGA voters who say “how could the Democrats lets this happen” - see study on how GOP/MAGA voters don’t blame the GOP for hospitals closing

I agree the Dems are their own worst enemy in many respects
But what exactly are you expecting from a guaranteed to fail attempt at impeachment?
All it will do is make him stronger as he further plays the victim card and the MAGA and GOP people rally around him
