Such a great development. We can talk all we want, but votes like this one are where the rubber actually hits the road in terms of shifting power from capital to labor.
A viable Trump candidacy courts controversy and sells subscriptions. End of democracy? We will worry about that later.

The problem as I see it is not that they have been critical of Biden, but that they are not ringing the alarm bells loudly enough over some of the batshit garbage Trump has been spewing recently. “Dictator on day one”, cutting off funding for schools that require vaccinations, etc.
It is reminiscent of the “both sides” criticism moderates get — in an effort to provide even coverage, they are functionally giving the crazy and the corrupt a free pass.
This inevitably happens in states and in industries with low or no union participation. Reason number 1,000 why workers have to stick together. Unionize … and strike.
There is room for a lot of good faith debate here, but FWIW I reckon It is a mistake for the left to prematurely roll over and telegraph an inevitable Biden vote (whether on this or any other issue) just because Trump would be worse. The time for that utilitarian calculus is much closer to November. Right now, if you want policy change — you have to raise hell.
As much as you love to hate ‘em, this is what the Tea Party and their ideological successors got right about wielding power within their own party. When the time comes, by all means circle the wagons and vote pragmatically, but during primary season you have to come across as a credible threat to the party power structure.
I’ll personally be willing to (attempt!) to shame my progressive friends into voting blue, say, around October. In the meantime, I am proud of folks for speaking their mind and standing up for human rights.
They know exactly what they are doing.
Vaccines don't work. Global warming is a lie. The United States is not a democracy. Babies are too small to be seen with the naked eye and can be frozen and thawed out. Biden is corrupt because Vladimir Putin said so. Am I missing anything?
This is wild. Mine would be raising a racket at 3am playing in the tubes. Is it relatively quiet?
Add the Carroll verdict and we are North of $440 million in about 3 weeks.
Edit: Also need to calculate statutory interest on top of this. Appeal bond is going to be brutal.
Let’s hear all about your progress. Don’t disappoint your judgmental internet buddies!
Making any progress, you slackers? Tell us about it!
Let's hear it. No project too big or too small.
Thought I'd share a recent build for an ongoing CNC milling machine project. The Mill needed a solid base as well as storage for the liquid coolant pump and oiler, and some drawers for tooling.
I've found that you can get nice looking results welding up a frame from 2" square tube and then use bog standard melamine panels for the sides.
3/4" angle can be welded in to hold the panels and hide the melamine edges.
Add some simple box drawers and Ebay slides, and voila...
The drawer pulls are leftover continuous aluminum extrusion. Again, they hide the edges of the melamine.
Anyway, not rocket science, but thought I'd pass the build idea along!
Yes, and those exploitative labor relationships so popular in the South serve to reproduce an embedded social structure that favors the usual suspects. Pic stolen from an excellent piece in the NYT yesterday from Jamelle Bouie.
