#53 TL;DR

It must really bum you out that someone somewhere is getting help.

You're confused, as usual.

Signing a loan document and getting it forgiven isn't help.

It's me, and immigrant paying for it. Taking dollars from my children.

So ---- you.

And never let them forget that blue states are subsidizing the -------- states with our $

Not sure what you mean

All States are taking money from the federal government. It's sort of how the federal government makes States do what it wants.

Are you saying California does not need it's school subsidies from the federal government?

Or firefighting subsidies?

I could go on.

I sure would enjoy just paying California taxes rather than Federal and State. I hate the IRS.

How would you make the rural areas generate more GDP?

It's kinda like why they are called rural.

Doesn't change the fact, though, that the derided blue areas are almost always the primary economic engines states

Why? Why do you imagine that's true? Why are these places blue?

When I travelled across the country this summer, I preferred staying in rural America. It was more beautiful, the people were more friendly, and nature is much more easily accessed. The food was original.

No one said visit St Louis. Or Kansas city. They said visit the lake of the Ozarks.

Why is that? As an Asian visiting new States I couldn't help but notice the blue areas sucked. And I live in one, makes me wonder about what I am doing in California.

And people ages 15 to 24 made up half of new chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis cases in 2022.

Thanks for this, as someone with an daughter its nice to know, keep track of my girl. Let her know.

The more you know.

@#2 ... This is News because?? ...
Yeah, I wondered the same thing.

Because you don't have children, probably weren't an engineer, and don't know what the demographic range for "youth" is.

MAGA seems to prefer to cherry-pick quotes in their lame attempts to justify their lies.

The cherry-picking is Gals "article", there's no qualification that is quoted.

FFS people, understand the difference between a contextomy and an actual quote.

Yeah, that's where I disagree with your current alias.

You can disagree, but an engineer would back it up with reasons and logic.

And I have never seen that from Gaslighter.

Strange MSN uses his words, the same as Bellringer, but then MSN doesn't quote Mayorkas again, making some vague references to qualifications.

Can't you get a real statement Gal or "qualifications"? Or is it all just fluff?

The fact is Bellringer assertion is true.

@#41 ... FEMA has put out a website trying to debunk rumors and claims about Hurricane Helene recovery.

Some of this is false or over generalization.

There's a lot of propaganda on both sides.

But doesn't ameliorate the latency after the storm.

Florida as much as I hate to admit, cleaned it's mess, and then cleaning up in NC.

Feds have really screwed the pooch on this it can't be denied.

I don't understand why thinking individual would have confidence in these numbers.

It's hilarious people take this release seriously, after years of it being incorrect.

Let's wait to the revision before we pop the Champagne.

WASHINGTON (AP) " President Joe Biden's latest attempt at student loan cancellation is free to move ahead " at least temporarily " after a judge in Georgia decided that a legal challenge should be handled by a court in Missouri.

Biden's plan has been on hold since September after seven Republican-led states challenged it in federal court in Georgia. But on Wednesday, a federal judge decided not to extend the pause and instead dismissed Georgia from the lawsuit, finding that it lacked the legal right, or standing, to sue.

I didn't fail to comprehend it.

The federal judge let it expire knowing it would be picked up by MO.

You think these guys are stupid?

Unfortunately ...

This was known, and likely why the judge let it expire.

There's anti-automation language in the Master Contract already
- Tony

It's only an extension to the 15th of Jan,it's not the new master contract.

Like I said they showed themselves to be jerks, and inefficient.

Let the automation roll.

a Longshoreman local president invited me to a private party in one of their suites. They were very nice people and laid out quite a delicious spread.

Of course they were nice, it was someone else paying for it.

Sounds like you hang around with the Swells. Last time I want to hear you talk about poor workers.

There's anti-automation language in the Master Contract already.

Why would annyone be proud of "antiautomation" or even agree to a "master contract" now? Unless you're weak in the knees, or are getting government kickbacks.

After all that bluster by the union boss.

Good luck stopping automation now.

While the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are over, the National Guard still has 22,000 service members deployed overseas. "In 2022, we provided ground and air forces to all of America's combatant commands," the general said. "That included Army formations in the Middle East and Europe; global tanker airlift and fighter aircraft support; and training with our allies and partners around the globe."

didn't Kamala state NO military in "combat"? What is a combatant command?

Why do you think Tennessee isn't able to do both?

They could, but it would be psychologically crazy.

Why would you send people elsewhere when there families are hurting. Crime against humanity.

700 troops?!? You're worried about less than 7% of Tennessee's NG contingent? And explain how armored cavalry is needed for relief efforts.
As I said, you simply make no sense.
#36 | POSTED BY TONYROMA

To cross ravines since there is no road, armored Calvary is also a light recon group. Would make sense when the roads are disabled.

All that being said ...

According to a sources in North Carolina, despite 1,000 troops being ready and authorized to respond in NC, FEMA Region 4 and Democrat NC Gov. Roy Cooper haven't yet written up the mission orders that the troops need in order to be deployed.

So those troops are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs.

It's been 7 days since Hurricane Helene made landfall.

Whats going on.

Republicans whole strategy this election is to pretend the VP has any power to control policy.
#12 | Posted by SpeakSoftly

That's the rub isn't it.

She isn't qualified if she had no power to control policy.

#10 yeah looking at research, seems like you're more likely to be in and ICE fire over the same timeframe.

Where does the 20% come from?

Also over what time period?

Every night? Every time its parked?

You can't be an engineer, you don't think.

You aren't qualified to shine his shoes.

Lemme guess, Hans is a white dude.

Just more racism.
