California's Unemployment Insurance Fund will end the year with a $21.7 billion debt to the federal government that will continue growing through 2025, according to the latest Unemployment Insurance Fund forecast from the Employment Development Department. The debt triggers an automatic tax increase on employers. The EDD's report stated that the debt triggered a $396 million tax increase on employers in 2023, projected to increase to $812 million this year " a cumulative $1.2 billion tax hike for just those two years. California's UI Fund, responsible for providing financial assistance to unemployed residents, has faced financial challenges since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The fund ended 2019 with a $3.3 billion surplus, but that reserve was quickly depleted due to a sharp rise in unemployment associated with the pandemic and government-mandated business closures. read more
A decade ago, when conservatives were attacking President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act as government encroachment in health care, they worked to amend state constitutions around the country to affirm a broad right for people to control their own medical decisions. "Each competent adult shall have the right to make his or her own health care decisions," reads section 38(a) of the Wyoming constitution's Declaration of Rights, under the header "Right of healthcare access." The provision was placed on Wyoming's ballot by state lawmakers and approved by voters in 2012; voters saw ballot language that described the measure as preserving this right "from undue governmental infringement." Now these anti-ACA provisions"and their broad affirmations of a right to decide"have turned into an unlikely weapon in progressives' fight against restrictions on abortion. read more
Not really a surprise is it?
The rebels launched a major offensive three days ago and since then have moved swiftly towards Aleppo, capturing swathes of countryside and villages.

I think it is time or abolish the Selective Service completely.
~ MattM
U.S. immigrants are required by law to register with the Selective Service System 30 days after their 18th birthday or 30 days after entry into the United States if they are between the ages of 18 and 25. This includes U.S. born and naturalized citizens, parolees, undocumented immigrants, legal permanent residents, asylum seekers, refugees, and all males with visas of any kind which expired more than 30 days ago.

Do you think all newcomers, and now illegal visa holders have registered?
For all practical purposes it is abolished, as registration isn't being enforced.
I'd say there's 0.000000000% chance of that happening, at most.
Define "abolish", if a policy isn't enforced isn't it for all practical purposes abolished?
@X is the most ideologically balanced platform?

The usual Lumpers will claim I am just a Russian Asset, and offer no response to this statement.
So far, almost nobody in the west fully comprehends the Oreshnik weapon system just demonstrated by Russia. Hat tip to Ted Postol, Scott Ritter and Brian Berletic, the only 3 people I've found so far who fully understand this. I've done the math on the kinetic energy of the submunitions (using estimates for mass), and I've studied up on what's publicly known about these weapons so far. My conclusion? NATO is done. The west has no idea what just hit them. Russia's Oreshnik weapon system is checkmate for NATO and the USA. All U.S. aircraft carriers can be destroyed in minutes. All U.S. military bases, all underground bunkers, all ICBM launch sites, naval shipyards, etc., can be destroyed with NON-NUCLEAR kinetic energy via the Oreshnik. There are no active treaties (that I'm aware of) prohibiting this weapon system, and it doesn't destroy surrounding infrastructure or masses of civilians. It is a devastating, unstoppable surgical strike weapon that basically drops metal lightning out of the sky like Thor's Hammer or the comets of God. Nobody has any defense against it, and the range of these weapons, once mounted on intercontinental boosters, is global. The west must now either back off or go nuclear. They will probably choose to go nuclear out of desperation, be warned. Russia has just changed the course of warfare and achieved global dominance. NOBODY in the western press even has a clue. They are too stupid, too woke or too arrogant to realize what just happened. This is like playing chess with Putin and thinkin you might be competitive, then suddenly Putin's queen unleashes a flamethrower across the chess board and roasts all your pieces, setting them on fire. You thought you were playing "chess" but Putin was playing a different game called "flamethrower." It's that big of a deal.

I said it was serious when it hit, and it appears to be more serious problem than previously stated.
Will the West be the first to use Nukes? That would be a bad historical look, make people, already questioning who is actually the bad guy.
In fact, the SAME exact body enhancement operations for non-gender affirming care as they do for gender affirming care.
This is a lie.
They remove breasts from young girls FFS.
The incidence of gender-affirming mastectomy increased 13-fold (3.7 to 47.7 per 100,000 person-years) during the study period. Of the 209 patients who underwent surgery, the median age at referral was 16 years (range 12-17) and the most common technique was double-incision (85%).
