Don’t forget (covered by “the rest of the military”) but still needs to be called out:

• P.O.W.s
• Medal of Honor recipients
• Gold Star families

My point was the timing. It wasn’t good for any other candidates but the incumbent.

Even if we did voted for Harris as VP, that was 4 years ago. Democracy is not just about a one-time voting, but having regular elections every 4 years. I may have voted for Harris as the VP as part of the ticket, but I should be allowed to change my mind 4 years later to vote for someone else.

One of my biggest gripes about our two-party system is the lack of competition within both parties. Every 4 years, we are presented with candidates from each respective party and then we’re asked choose the “lesser of the two evils”. It sucks.

I disagree a little bit. If Biden had dropped out earlier, we would have a proper Democratic primary season and to have some other politicians run and make a case for themselves. It feels like Kamala Harris was appointed to be the successor. Of course she would still need to win the general election, but I still feel uneasy that within the party, there was no democratic process.

Yep! There’s a surplus of educated women, who are too educated / accomplished in their careers to want to marry uneducated rural men. And many of them also deferred marriage for their education and career and thus became a bit too old to bear children. All of this just exacerbates the male to female ratio problem in China, which is also a huge problem for China’s demographics.

China is going to shrink in population, Japan, Korea, Taiwan also have these problems.

Frack!

Define customer and define services rendered. I rendered 40 hours of services to my customer (aka my employer).

More exception rules means more loop holes. Now I can get my employer to pay me in tips instead of a regular salary.

Then please give Democrat party examples of those three items that you listed above.

• Police State: Thin blue line flag flyers all support Trump, they are all against Black Lives Matters, which is protesting about police brutality
• Making Free Speech Criminal: Republicans banning books in Texas because it doesn’t agree with their world view
• Private Interests over Public ones: Republicans wants to give school vouchers to religious schools and take away public school funding

I’ve always thought that trying to address DEI from the top-down is never the right way to do it. This include college admissions. All it actually does is promote unfairness and a non-meritocracy. It takes many years of training to learn the skills needed for certain jobs. Hiring someone because of their skin color instead of their qualifications can actually hurt the bottom line (and top line) and just leads to more resentment. And it also really cheapens and damages the reputation of the minorities who actually worked and earned their way to their spot. Had a super smart Nigerian friend who is a medical doctor who finished very high up in rankings in medical school. But because of DEI policies, people will always wonder if he got to his place because of “quotas”.

Hey guys, I think we have the second amendment to prevent these type of people from taking over America…

Menalin-phobia :-)

Just saying… LOL

How about this one from about 2000 years ago:

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

Matthew 9:37

I’m Chinese and I am also extremely weary of hiring someone from China. Pretty scared of CCP spies TBH.

Damn, Modi can redeem himself by just doing it again, but this time, stick a dagger in Putin’s back!

Maybe the title of this post or the article needs to be updated if solitary confinement itself wasn’t the real issue, but rather that it was a transgender woman being transferred from a women’s prison to a men’s prison?

Just came back from Tokyo. Tokyo’s public transportation is awesome. You do also need to walk a lot at times and the first few days our legs were quite sore. But towards the end of the trip I can feel my leg strength again, felt healthier, and did not miss my car at all. To go to certain places, you do have to plan a little bit ahead, for example, a day trip out to Mt. Fuji area requires booking tickets because right now there’s a ton of tourists. But within the city, the subways are so convenient.
