China has people working 2x as hard as spoiled americans. When an entire country is busting their arse 12hrs a day, its not hard to believe they would would start to pull away from a country that has become complacent and values "work-life-balance".

Our GDP would be 10x higher now if we'd outsourced the industrial revolution jobs out to the 3rd world for 25% of the labor costs of those greedy middle-class Americans.

Lives for Americans would be worse but the almighty GDP would have great numbers!

Great explanation.

Individual states "owning" the wildlife isn't a perfect system but it has generally worked very well for the last 100 years or so.

Our great grandfathers saw what was happening with no regulation and decided the best course was to give ownership of wildlife to their given state.

Most of the pics I've seen from MS looks like someone has just mistaken the light pollution of a nearby city for the NL.

the pizza review from when it happened. Dave handled in as well as possible both during and after. Made sure it was clear the kid wasn't representative of Starkville.

this feels like before NIL people would get upset when a player would leave early for a draft. That player likely came from a dirt-poor background and people are upset he doesn't want to play for free anymore.

I saw less Hispanics in Arkansas when visiting some if the big lakes like I do every year. They always leave trash behind.

Don't think they even realize it's a shitty thing to do. Just the way it's done south of the border.

My theory is Trump was glad the lower judge ruled to provide SNAP. He doesn't like the thought of losing support from low income people no matter insignificant. He also doesn't actually GAF about spending.

Ketanji realizes this and wanted to toss the ball back to trump to make him back to being the bad guy.
