Bigotry toward homosexuals is deeply ingrained from early on, it is ridiculous that intelligent people are shaken by the concept of homosexuality or rally against inclusion.

It follows into those four realms and denies them growth in so many ways.

#23 You can't just discriminate against Muslims.

Leviticus 18:23: "You shall not have sexual relations with any animal and defile yourself with it; a woman shall not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion."

Leviticus 20:15"16: "If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he shall be put to death; and you shall kill the animal. If a woman approaches any animal to have sexual relations with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them."

"what do you want to happen to the wages of those employees?"

Revenue is a product of the workers. Expenses are a product of the owners and investors.

If revenue increases, pay should increase.

The probability more-expensive assets are currently being amortized doesn't necessarily mean the business equation itself is losing money.

setting aside the confusion between revenue and profits........let's just jump to a company that actually lost money.

They incurred a net loss. Believe me it happens and it's happening right now everywhere.

what do you want to happen to the wages of those employees?

I have a few clients that are on their 2nd or 3rd year in a row they had a net operating loss.

These are real cycles in the real world.

Those wages aren't going backward....benefits are still being provided. All that's happening is that there is natural attrition occurring. When someone leaves or retires.....they might not replace that person.

But the employee group is being treated the same.........while their employer is incurring a net loss.

What do you want happen there?

-So...just under .08% of Amazon employees are on SNAP, and it's an "Amazon" problem?

What other employers can we haul in for a flogging over that % of employees on government assistance?

Let's start with the military. Then we can move onto school districts, city and county employees, etc....

Then.....once we agree the real wage is over $30 an hour.....ask the question you are avoiding.

There is a question at the end of this...........what do you want anybody to do about it?

There is no legal mechanism that forces Amazon to pay profits back to employees.....union contracts might address that and that's fine. but you can't force a union.....

We can agree it's unfair for Amazon to pocket those increased profits if they aren't treating employees equitably. Despite what they say, most people agree with that.

But what do you want to do about it?

Your home state averages one fraudulent vote per decade, unless you want to count the easily caught 8 felons who voted over the last 20 years. In that case, VA has one fraudulent vote EVERY OTHER YEAR.

How much more "sufficient" are you seeking???

I'm pretending your PURGE would be 99.99% accurate.

At that rate, and at the rate your home state of Virginia experiences voter fraud, it would take 4,400 years to thwart as many ILLEGAL votes as LEGAL votes you'd suppress in ONE election cycle.

Of course, since your purge won't be close to that accuracy number, you should probably add another thousand years.

"Trump's only true skill is the con; his only fundamental belief is that the United States is the birthright of straight, white, Christian men, and his only real, authentic pleasure is in cruelty. It is that cruelty, and the delight it brings them, that binds his most ardent supporters to him, in shared scorn for those they hate and fear: immigrants, black voters, feminists, and treasonous white men who empathize with any of those who would steal their birthright. The president's ability to execute that cruelty through word and deed makes them euphoric. It makes them feel good, it makes them feel proud, it makes them feel happy, it makes them feel united. And as long as he makes them feel that way, they will let him get away with anything, no matter what it costs them."

2028 won't be the bellwether ~ not to say the Republican Party won't take an unsuccessful swing at it with the mealy-mouthed Peter Theil's lap poodle, J.D. Vance. They almost have no choice at this late date. Of course, that's assuming things will go as predicted in the midterms. Facing the ghostly specter of Mike Pence, Trump is quite capable of, yes, even murder in a full-blown Alzheimer stage of paranoid rage.

Notwithstanding the above, I'm certain that the fur will begin to fly in January once the Democrats are in control of the House. They'd be wise to drag those investigations and grand jury convictions out well into the 2028 presidential elections season. Not to mention the full exposure of Trump and other names in the Epstein files.

In spite of your doubts, I think the vision of the Trump administration, once fully exposed, will keep the Republican Party at bay for more than a few general elections.

How Cops Are Treating Mass Surveillance as a Joke

The hackers say they are also publishing details on how they managed to obtain the software, in the hopes that other people may copy them.

The breach provides an unprecedented look inside a system that Flock has described as protected by on-device encryption. The hackers were able to copy the camera's storage and recover an encryption key stored on the device, which unlocked videos of thousands of vehicle detections. The hackers shared the material with 404 Media and the transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets, which shared the data with WIRED. 404 Media and WIRED then analyzed those files as part of a joint investigation. ...

Poll: Rising Trust in Global Institutions

NIXON

It's actually the Republican Party that can never be trusted again. They're on a Unitary Executive mission that isn't going to end with the expulsion of Donald Trump. He is just a tool of the trade and not the only one in the pipeline.

Trump is not the exception to the rule of the Republican Party, he IS the rule. Next time they'll find somebody with a higher IQ and more devious techniques to fool the voting public into voting against their own best interests again.

The Cruelty is the Point.

"The cruelty is the point" is a political phrase coined by The Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer in a 2018 essay.

Meaning and Origin

The Phrase: Adam Serwer first used the term to describe how political loyalty and community among certain groups are forged by celebrating the shared suffering inflicted on outsiders.

The Origin: The essay responded to a rally where political figures mocked a survivor who accused a high-profile nominee of sexual assault, prompting laughter and bonding from the crowd.

Trumpers bonding... nice picture, eh?

It's weird that we take the day to honor the hero's and those who died on 9/11. But we go on in silence at acknowledging how successful that attack actually was at turning the US into a nation of paranoid -------. ..even 25 years later.

Our nation has become a cess pool of hate and bigotry.

We deserve all the pain that is coming.
