Theres something about the Roe v Wade decision that I dont think enough people to grasp; it was already hollowed out time after time after time, in many of the states where abortion had already been persecuted, it didnt have to go much further. Many of the states had already essentially made abortion fundamentally illegal, and the states that already had adequate abortion protections kept them. Roe V Wade was a small step, it unfortunately wasnt a big deal.

I dont know about you, but I'm already feeling an inflationary crisis. 4 years ago I could get a lot of bulk items for 8 bucks or so, then 2 years it was 10 bucks and luckily I got a promotion, but now things are ratcheting up to 12, and the official inflation rate is only 1%. Eggs are too expensive if they arnt already sold out.
Got Stellaris recently and it was awful for this reason. Everything felt totally bare and like there was some other mechanic somewhere that made everything work. Also got back to EUIV after playing it a lot at release and hated a lot of the systems and wouldnt you know it everything worked great after I got the DLC pass thing.
I mean its still possible but its like the person has to be petit bourgeois to make it. A business owner like auto repair or car dealership or (maybe) dentist.
Even the rural stuff is quite eye opening, remember a lot of Americans do live in rural communities, and the last time they got an infrastructure upgrade was when Roosevelt built a post office.
got me in the first half
I could do this all in a day.
Oral arguments are often hilariously a game of charades. We all know that the justices have a bias that they are going to lean into 99% of the time, arguments are just for roasting the lawyers and seeing how they play as people if they were to ever join you on the bench. Rarely does oral argument even make it to the actual opinion, which are mostly written by the clerks.
I think I got to the end of Day 3 before my HDD died and my save with it. I still havent gone back to it since.
There's a lot to measure there, suppose a border nation is engaging in blatant capitalist style imperialism (kyrgyzstan invades the uzbeks) they need resources to create and build that imperial machine; do you continue to trade raw resources and garner influence as even the rest of the global community begins to draw away from them? Do you try to use that influence to reign in that neighbor, or even try to develop your own productive forces by staking a larger claimin those industries? Do you also draw away from the nation and continue to isolate them, weakening your industry, perhaps putting a target on yourself? Do you use you own miltary forces to put a stop to it? All of these approaches have been tried in some form or another in recent history, the only one which seems to result in anything remotely positive is to be the trading partner. Come hell or high water, non intervention has always proven an effective and politically easy solution, and theres historical precedent for China especially to act in such a way, when it didnt throughout the mid century (this had some to do with the Sino-Soviet split) it lead to insane outcomes like buddying up with the US to beat up Afghanistan and Vietnam, fund Pol Pot, etc. All are actions we can say didnt help China in the long run and are frankly embarrassing.
Andy Cuomo isnt old enough to be president 10 years down the line.
I dont think things will get stabilized what with global warming likely to put a lot of pressure on the developing economies of the world.
