How is Uber Eats up in there next to electricity and water?

I guess if nobody wants to do it, the market would have to price that labor much higher to make that happen due to a low supply for a high demand service.

Yeah I think we totally agree there.

What is the left-wing extremism in this case?

Having a president executing all their political opponents is kinda the end of the country, though, right? I don't know how it can come back from that.

We are pretty fucked either way if SCOTUS claims a president is immune. I'd just like Biden to take them down with the rest of the country if they do so.

I watched this review to check him out after writing that. I think he's pretty great. YouTube is fucking awful, I'll have to catch him somewhere else.

I would love to see it.

He won't, though. Repubs have counted on Dems to abide by the spirit of the rules even while they obstruct and dismantle everything with zero regard for a functioning democracy. The Dems would all be desperately reaching across the aisle for a compromise up until they are executed in the afternoon on January 20th.

The hypothesis behind ranked choice is that enough people would vote for a third sane option that we don't have only choices between red and blue shitheads.

If you have a lot of people ranking like: Blue -> Red -> Con Man

And "moderates" ranking like: Red -> Con Man -> Blue

Presumably the number of people who prefer basic red over a con man would mean the con man cannot take office. Not even if a large group of Trumpanzees vote: Con Man -> Red -> Blue

Then, given that possibility, the assumption is that we would have viable third party candidates. If people could take third party candidates seriously, they are more likely to be incentivized to vote when they hate the favored top two.

IDK about the presidency because of EC bullshit, but I am pretty certain it would work like that for state and local elections.

You have zero conception of how ranked choice voting works.

The only story there is they got so far in before any of them were shot. She was crawling through the final barrier between the mob of insurrectionists and members of Congress and still given plenty of opportunity to cut that out.

Insurrectionists were basically allowed to run free smearing feces on the walls until there was no other option to prevent them from murdering representatives. If all cops would show that much restraint that would be rad as fuck. I guess not every protest has their off-duty buddies in the crowd, though.
