I had tickets to see him earlier this year, and with his fall, they were pushed back 1 yr. Looks like it's not going to happen now. Hope he has as best a recovery as possible.

#16 by not dancing in the street when Hamas acts.

#7 E1G1, I think he meant Jill Biden's high interest rates, so it's probably accurate.

I'm behind the curve on knowledge here... Didn't production of new episodes of Sesame Street already get bought up by HBO, and PBS gets the hand me downs now?

How does this funding impact that?

VCs are the bane of our existence?

Tell me you have no idea how innovative new small startups come along and make major breakthroughs in all aspects of our lives.

Talk about hating just hate... the party of love and tolerance my ass.

Shoeless should be inducted today

#11.. here's the thing Snoofy... I agree. If Trump has health issues, the media should be all over it. Call it out. Press for answers.

This is what didn't happen to Biden. And in your Clown world you applauded it.

#6
Ferociously denying it to the point of misreporting or refusing to report it?

Does that work instead of hiding?

You asked a couple questions.

I'm not saying there are inefficiencies here. Speaking broadly when DOGE first started there were talks of sending checks to everyone. Don't, Keep making cuts to dead end projects to fund ones like this.

On Handouts; I never said I was against all government programs. I do however think they should be limited, and the ones we have should be limited in scope. Obviously we have worked ourselves into a position where farming is not sustainable without a low wage class of worker. The path out of that could be sticker shock to shoppers, but that would be more harmful to the economy and to low wage earners who wouldn't be able to absorb that hit. The other then is that my general take on what a governments role is to do or provide that which it can do better as a service than an individual. Roads, Police, Military, Fire, etc.. I don't think it stretches my position much to say that food production could be under that umbrella. So, while the country learns how to restructure how we run our food industries without relying on slave wage labor I think this is where a government program would be best used.

I liken it to a time where I was at a sub shop, and an older teen, probably out of highschool was making sandwiches. I was watching him take orders and start to make the order. You could see his brain racing, this basic task was pushing him to his limit. He was not going anywhere higher than this job, and wasn't doing that well either. Seeing this I realized, it was in no way fair to make this sub shop pay him a salary to raise a family on, but that this kid needed to survive. If we had gov't programs that allowed you to "benefits" but still be underemployed, I could support that. I feel these are similar situations.

Not a surprise, and it's time we had a reckoning with supporting our food infrastructure on the backs of slave wages.

This where we should be looking at gov't inefficiencies, taking those savings and using it to fund a workforce that is here legally and well paid. I'm not against socialist flavored actions, just not give aways.

To debate the initial counter, it wouldn't be in the form of a subsidy to the farm. Let the farm pay minimum wage, but the worker could apply for supplemental "food worker" pay from the Gov't.

Keep the farms going
Workers paid
Legal residents doing work at a good wage, and not being undercut.

"New York Dad" will be the headline.

being an independent and watching this is painful.

To everyone on the far left, if you don't agree with them you are a Nazi, some sort of 'phobe, and some sort of 'ist

Now to the far right, if you don't agree, you'll be a communist.

How about just disagreeing and talking it out, and trying to come together on some things? I guess that is too much to ask.

The more the parties are different, the more they're the same.

I never really supported term limits as I naively felt that the ballot box was a built in term limiter of bad politicians and a rule limiting terms may only force out a good one.

Having grown up though, I realize that politicians are "forced" to be bad actors to keep their job.

The initial intent of our government was not to have career politicians... and this article just reinforces the need for term limits.

If you don't fear being primary-ed then maybe you'll do the right thing.

They'd be the ruling body... haven't you said that's who you listen to on these things snoofy?

God damn you're unhinged

#17 who said they couldn't... but they'd still be a biological dude and not a woman. They could call himself a trans woman, and I would refer to them way out of respect.

What's this fetish you people have with demanding respect without the chore of earning it?

there's a winning platform for the midterms...

maybe hand out buttons with "Earn my respect" on them

I'm sure the candidate behind that will do well at the polls.

Dems alienate voters by skewing too far left and insult those that don't agree with them.

Poll comes out saying more young people a supporting the R part.

Dems reaction, call them stupid and uneducated.

Sounds like a winning strategy.

both political parties fundamental mission has been to mask truth and facts and give us deception.

Something the left here will deny, and the right here will deny... because THEIR party doesn't do it only the OTHER evil party does it.

And the moderates just shake their heads in disbelief at both sides.

#17 have to love the things that will get blocked, or get you banned here.... but 17 seems to be okay?

#10 Your saying that we should be compelled to how we refer to ourselves... if I don't want my email sig to have my pronouns, why should I be forced to? That shows respect exactly how? Why do I need to be intimidated into an action to make someone else feel better?

Snooty, yes it's up to the governing bodies. And it's up to people to voice displeasure with this governing bodies if they want to influence change. I'm sure this doesn't go over your head.

Sounds as if you actually agree with the view that Trans-women don't belong in women's sports but you're to afraid to break ranks

Do you think this is a discussion here only because of you?

Donner says we are only allowed to comment on things directly affecting us, time to shut the site down.
