This is more important than the price at the pump right? Or inflation? Keep the culture wars fueling you, not the shite that actually matters lol

Really enjoying that the guy from Tennessee who got his civil liberties violated after posting about CK's death got a big settlement

Bushart was arrested in September after he refused to take down Facebook memes that joked about Kirk’s killing, which had prompted an outpouring of grief among conservatives, including in Perry County, which is near Bushart’s home and which held a candlelight vigil.

The meme Bushart posted that prompted his arrest read: “This seems relevant today...” and featured President Donald Trump and the words, “We have to get over it.” That quote, the meme explained, was said by Trump in 2024 after a school shooting at Iowa’s Perry High School.

Don't forget oil subsidies... The social state in America exploded post WW2 and hasn't stopped. Socialist policy is American as Apple Pie.

Lol the conspiratorial thinking here and in other conservative places actively kill conservatives...

The political polarization of health outcomes in the USA

quote:

s. Here we find evidence consistent with two potential mechanisms. First, demographic realignment within political coalitions brought less healthy individuals into the conservative camp. Yet by the 2020s, demographic change, public policy and COVID-19 do not fully account for the widening gap in mortality rates. Public opinion data are consistent with a second mechanism: declining trust in medical professionals among right-leaning individuals, including lower willingness to seek care, follow clinical advice or believe in medication effectiveness, even for issues unrelated to COVID-19. These patterns suggest that growing ideological divides in health behaviours are leaving conservative Americans increasingly vulnerable to preventable health risks.

In practice it's largely done by whichever party has power with a long term view towards preserving incumbents and the majority in power in the state houses.

It's distasteful to most people because it's shifting the chips to one team vs another. It's not an even playing field. Rightly some districts have been unconstitutional due to race being the primary reasons for lines drawn.

It should be by population density, done by computers. End of discussion. The human element is too prone to self preservation via redistricting games rather than hard work of winning voters.

Way to not refute the point ... give yourself a pat on the back

Wonder if he'll do Shreve, Issa, McCormick, McCaul etc. Big time traders in Congress...
