It's all a hypothetical, feel free to just decide you are that type of person. No harm in it.

In real life though, if money is no object, the difference between a 2017 normal car and a 2025 luxury car is literally just "do you want extra features and a bigger screen on a car that will last longer?" It just doesn't make sense to get the cheaper version, unless you are giving up something else because you only have a limited amount of money.

Sherbet and Smarties exist in the US but we call them different things and have other things we call Sherbet and Smarties.

Finally we can put these homeless people under a solid roof with their own bed where the government will pay for all their meals and ensure they have time for recreation and socializing.

As long as it's prison.

She was polling worse than him until the debate so that kind of makes sense.

I don't get why people are getting so incensed with this answer. It's an election, it's not fully in his control. If he thinks he's the best candidate to beat Trump, and he runs his campaign the best way possible, and he still loses, then that is democracy and the will of the people has spoken and there was nothing he could have done.

It IS about saving democracy, and bodily autonomy, and the Supreme Court appointments, and he isn't saying that it isn't. He's just saying all he can do is run the best campaign he can, and if the people still vote Trump then he accepts that decision.

You can quibble with his assumptions here, he might not be the best candidate to beat Trump anymore, but that's the right answer.

Really? Must be service specific. Didn't work on lemm.ee on the Connect app, not sure which is the reason.

Pretty sure it's supposed to be specifically hard-left, maybe conspiracy oriented (because they would assume Trump's Russian ties and criminal guilt are a conspiracy theory), equivalent to Qanon but on the other side.

We do have a problem with executive power creep so like there's a world where I'm on board for non-delegation but there just is a reality that some questions are too small, detailed, and nuanced to expect a new bill out of Congress each time.

So like setting new tariffs, should be a congressional action and it was improperly delegated. Determining whether a new ladder is safe for workers, can be delegated.

Median earnings grew faster than inflation every quarter between Q2 2022 and Q4 2023, a year and a half straight. Ticked down in Q1 2024 but basically back to pre pandemic levels.
