Compare inflation per CPI and a yard of concrete and I bet you end up with the same graph.
The hilarity of this is that MADD will still tell you the drinking age is 21 to protect 18 year olds (who aren't driving).

major reason for the growth of the South is due to the prevalence of central AC. Most countries in the world don’t have this, even first world countries.


So would you give up the prevalence of central AC if it meant the population returned to what it was in the 80s and 90s?


Fun fact, New Orleans had almost double the population in 1960 than today, well before the mass expansion of A/C.

What the bill allows is the product must stay below natural levels of THC-9 from hemp. Which is very very very low. Most of the THC in hemp derived products are 9 and 10


This is wrong. The bill says 0.3% THC. When you realize that we are talking about milligrams of THC vs grams of gummies, you'll realize how this is possible.
quote:

Your an idiot. Still federally illegal. Until then sterr clear.


Welp, that's wrong on every account. THC from hemp is and has been federally legal since 2018.
quote:

You just basically spend all your time outside with people, reading and writing, doing whatever. No way to be connected, no one can call you and bother you. And since none of this technology existed you wouldn’t be missing it.


You're missing a lot of heartache, angst, and turmoil by not having that. Farm accidents often killed the farmer due to lack of antibiotics, bad water often lead to cholera or typhoid fever. Bandits and thieves lead to being able to actively defend yourself, or death/serious injury. Food was more expensive, harder to store, and didn't last as long. Not to mention it was harder to prepare, no microwaves or gas ovens. Every illness could kill you.

Life was a lot less forgiving than it is now. Most people think they would have been fine, but there's a lot of people buried that will tell another tale.
quote:

because I’m subject to drug testing at work.


If they are testing for THC (weed) you'll pop positive if you drink one, even if it's legal in Louisiana.

You can thank Louisiana legislature for protecting you from THC in marijuana, but legalizing it if its from hemp. Your employer likely won't care where it came from though.
quote:

Freedom of religion isn’t anything close to our modern definition of “separation of church and state.”


This thread is all over the place. First the US is founded as a Christian nation, then Trump is shown as a standup Christian, then freedom of religion suddenly doesn't mean there's a prohibition on state religion.

Carry on. :lol:

Good lord. You’re about a week behind on this case. Get caught up.


The article I posted was from Thursday and mentioned ICE had a detainer for him along with a couple of other articles. If you have anything that says something different, I'd love to see it.
quote:

ICE didn’t have a detainer for him.


I was referring to the article I posted two pages back.

quote:

The 20-year-old’s first language is Tzotzil, a Mayan language, and he took a long pause when he was asked if he wanted to hire a private attorney or obtain a public defender. He lived in Mexico from the time he was 1-year-old until four years ago, when he returned to Georgia, his mother told the Phoenix.

The Homeland Security Investigations Office in Tampa issued the 48-hour ICE detainer on Thursday. An ICE officer whose name and phone number appear in the detainer refused to speak with the Phoenix.


quote:

If he spoke English and the Immigrarion officers asked him if he was here illegally, he would’ve said “no,” and the whole situation would’ve been different. Not that the press cares to tell the whole story.


If ICE has a detainer for you, I don't think you can just say you're a citizen and expect them to walk away and drop it.
quote:

Yeah. If your first language is Tsotzil and you have lived in Mexico almost all your life, you might get deported.

I love making precedents on one in a million cases. It’s very efficient.


If he looked Canadian and spoke English would that change the situation?
quote:

There’s no evidence that it won’t exist


One could argue that if you're relying on a statute that precludes judicial review to deport someone, that's a lack of due process. Have you read JGG v. Trump?
quote:

It does exist


For now, yes, though some on this board (vehemently) disagree or see how it could be problematic for US citizens.
quote:

About 10 seconds

Exhibit A: Passport

Defense rests


If there's no due process, when would a hearing happen?
quote:

Due process should be “prove your citizenship”. No? You gotta go. There will be some mistakes made and quite frankly, I’m perfectly fine with that.



If that was the proposed policy I would be ok with that.

I tend to have problems when US citizens are detained illegally with no court dates to figure out if they can be deported, but I could see how you'd be ok with some getting stripped of their rights without cause.
quote:

So there is due process. What the frick are whining about?


I am guessing you missed the title of the thread.
quote:

So he’s not getting deported?


Only because he was picked up on a state charge first, and had a court date, i.e. due process.
