Boeing has broken so many rules, what’s another, at this point this incident is irrelevant.
The fact that one missed piece of paperwork is not what caused this, even if it is the trigger. The company focusing on minimizing paper trail and fudging paperwork to pass regulations is what caused it.
Yeah the Constitution don’t say anything bout AI so according to the originalists, companies can do anything they want, lol.
Trump was already booked as Inmate P01135809 in the Georgia election subversion case.
Legislating? Not when Republicans have a hold on the house, or the Senate.
You overestimate the risk of this specific event. I do think the DNC and all Americans need a wakeup call before November and this may or may not be it, but the debate is forgettable in 1 week whereas the consequences of these Supreme Court decisions or going to be with us for years to come.
Democrats have other opportunities to energize their base, it’s up to them to use these opportunities, and avoid letting Trump dominate every election conversation.
The majority opinion notes that the Supreme Court should be the one that makes these technical judgements on behalf of these agencies, despite that opinion itself containing a technical mistake…
I’d think that for a blanket no-homelessness policy to be even reasonably humane, each person would need a right of address, even a 50 sqft. parcel of public land in/by the town of choosing which they can call their domicile.
Same thing in BC… In the Prince George encapment case, it was ruled that unless there are enough shelter beds that are sufficiently accessible by the affected population, they are allowed to stay in the Lower Patricia encampment.
Needless to say there was fierce competition. The pity I feel for Americans is to a level I feel physically sick.
There’s one way to fix this… elect a landslide blue majority in the HoR and Senate and redefine explicitly the role of every federal agency. That way Republicans in the future can’t weaponize doing nothing as easily.
Oh lord, this is the worst news to come from this week.
If sleeping anywhere for someone without a permanent place to live is allowed to be made illegal, we should have rotating shifts to keep the Court majority awake in their homes so that they will have to flee to Harlan Crow’s yacht.
Yeah, from a Canadian looking south, there’s no two ways about it. Not Biden’s best night, he brought a solid platform but the debate did not go in the way he wanted it to be.
Trump brought nothing of substance to the debate, lying his ass off as usual and pandering to his base. Also expressing Putin’s dreams and stuff. Yet, Biden’s presentation tonight could hardly beat a pet rock at a debate…
I’d fantasize about Bernie Sanders, AOC or anyone spry and progressive take the Democratic presidential candidate role for 2024, C$50 to charity if they do, but most are expected to know that even if Biden’s not perfect it’s his team that actually got things done unlike Trump whose entire presidency was about himself.
Edit 2: I’m hoping the poor performance is overshadowed by the real consequences of electing Trump beginning to show themselves with Friday morning’s SCOTUS decisions.
I dunno if I’d consider Secratary of Transportation as a low stakes role, he’s been out and about getting IIJA funds out across the country and there to present new rail, highway, air and marine infrastructure improvements.
Plus, if an unspeakable fate were to befall thirteen specific individuals, simultaneously rendering them unable to perform their duties, you’d have a President Buttigieg.
From Barrett’s dissent:
In so doing, the Court grants emergency relief in a fact-intensive and highly technical case without fully engaging with both the relevant law and the voluminous record.
Basically what the current US supreme court majority does to sway many cases in whatever way they feel like: ignore the way the court is supposed to work, ignore or diminish contrary evidence and push their own views.
I have experienced an issue sort of like that in the past, where my computer occasionally won’t do anything other than spin the fans, unless there’s a working connection to a monitor…
In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

Can’t figure out through what warped interpretation that the ex-mayor’s conduct doesn’t meet the criteria of the statute, especially a1B. Help me out here:
(a) Whoever, if the circumstance described in subsection (b) of this section exists—
(1) being an agent of an organization, or of a State, local, or Indian tribal government, or any agency thereof—
(A) embezzles, steals, obtains by fraud, or otherwise without authority knowingly converts to the use of any person other than the rightful owner or intentionally misapplies, property that—
(i) is valued at $5,000 or more, and

(B) corruptly solicits or demands for the benefit of any person, or accepts or agrees to accept, anything of value from any person, intending to be influenced or rewarded in connection with any business, transaction, or series of transactions of such organization, government, or agency involving any thing of value of $5,000 or more; or
(2) corruptly gives, offers, or agrees to give anything of value to any person, with intent to influence or reward an agent of an organization or of a State, local or Indian tribal government, or any agency thereof, in connection with any business, transaction, or series of transactions of such organization, government, or agency involving anything of value of $5,000 or more;

The supreme court justices get “gratuities” from decisions conservative magnates want. They are just applying that corrupt standard to every American population.
Someone reupload yuzu, stat!
That’s exactly my point, it’s not one piece of paperwork, it’s an entire record keeping process that’s screwed up.
