I'm not as new to all of this as I look. 😉 I love sci-fi, music, new and different cultures and FOOD. Folks in the US, please, please travel more! There's a world of ideas out there waiting. ❤️
Seems it was the agency taking advantage of vague wording. And, in 1943, as we know, the Democratic Party was conservatives and they controlled the House/Senate. Can't imagine why they would've been so vague with "reasonable distance". Interesting read either way:

Wait, so the 2nd largest bank in the US prepared a report about what small businesses say they're planning next year, did I get that right? Weird, chamber of commerce seems to suggest something else. Seems only 13% think expansion is a good idea now. Is that "many"?

Massie is a conspiracy theory extremist and a traitor to this nation. He's no better than the rest because he's managed to be decent about one thing (albeit, an important thing to many).

And literally my 1st reply to you. Womp, womp.

There's a certain subset where it's true they're getting what they voted for, but that's the thing about "good" propaganda, it's played on all sides. Chaos is the point and fascists (Bannon, Stone, et tal) have been funding the division for a very long time.

That's a run of the mill >50 GOP lady. ⬇️

The hypocrisy of unequal application of the law is the point.

They don't deserve to be served a single morsel from those hardworking people.

The condensed version. ⬇️

These people should be shunned and forced from the public eye IN SHAME, but thanks to the pedo president's fan club and salacious "news" media, seems like trying to make excuses for child sex predators is the new norm for them.

No one is arguing it isn't embarrassing for those who voted for it. It's just not every senate Dem. House GOP seem to be planning to strip it out b/c they weren't previously aware of the provision. It was tucked into legislative branch funding that Thune negotiated. www.politico.com/live-updates...

If the cowboy hat and "police" weren't visible, where would you guess this was taken?

Doesn't at all resemble what this nation claims itself to be, that's for sure. 🤢

Womp womp. It does, but I realize it's soo harrrrrd being wrong, brother. 💩

Like, you realize they not only have NASA contracts, but also DOD? Really, just walk away, you look pretty ridiculous at this point.

"During Reich's tenure, he implemented the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and successfully lobbied to increase the national minimum wage."

He was in the president's ear about a number of things that would benefit avg 🇺🇸's. (see pic 2). archive.fo/ZOC8E

He's had the same basic msg for decades.

Come on now. It shouldn't even BE a "competition" between food and healthcare and acting like Dems are doing something wrong trying to protect Americans is exactly what's wrong with US news media.
November 3, 2025 at 5:23 PM
Yep, your own last line kinda addressed the issue of "giving things out for free" b/c a rise in claims seems to follow the trend of rapidly growing wealth inequality (+ post pandemic).

But, why is giving things out for free to help disabled people continue to live or feed kids bad?

You nor anyone else has any idea the sort of evidence they have that has given them the impression these are men. Jfc, you people are arguing about LIKELY, ffs. 🤣🤣🤣
November 2, 2025 at 11:27 PM
The hypocrisy is the point.

It's their dystopian Christian wet dream. The US is god's holy ground for them to do with what they please.

She may not be the only one, check out how happy he is with that hair play.

Kinda seems like this is the best way.

His wife is on fire fuming, no 2 ways about it, imo. She did that ON A STAGE and he very obviously enjoyed it wayy too much.

Kinda brings back a particular memory...

Well, 1st, you were asked about your source, annd nothing. 2nd, if the discussion is about spending between the 2, then try to find something comparing the cost between them if your source didn't break them down in any meaningful way maybe?

Source? Is that including the cost of initial development that taxpayers funded or only what the pharmaceutical company is spending?

And it's not always that in 10 years a generic can be made and there aren't only a few where it's longer than that. They're actively creating ways around it.
November 1, 2025 at 3:13 PM
The one thing also not mentioned is that tons of research is done before it ever gets to whichever pharma company decides to do their R&D and that research is funded by taxpayers.

They have **more than enough money** to not get an ROI on every drug. It's literally the cost of doing *that* business.

Check out the TOC and description! Shipping to S. America can be... a gamble, lol, so I'll likely have to wait until I'm back home to get it, but it sure looks interesting.

I wish MSM were dedicating similar efforts to bringing far-right extremism to the public eye.

👀 his stuff, much needed work!
