It didn’t make it. It was rejected by the supreme court at a preliminary stage. The case was not heard by the court.
Anyone with a federal appellate ruling can appeal to the supreme court. That appeal is just a request. The supreme court refuses the vast majority of them.
All this says about the country is that one horrible woman can afford a lawyer, and refuses to take no for an answer.
From the article:
Nvidia declined 7%, Oracle, and AMD dropped 8.8%, Meta and Microsoft dropped around 4%.
These are amounts that stocks often fluctuate. Percentages are what matter. Phrasing it as a big dollar value was lost is always manipulative framing.
The market is big. There are more than a few shares. A small change becomes a big number when multiplied by the size of the entire market. $800 billion is basically meaningless.
The numbers are fake anyway. Market cap is the value if all existing shares were sold at the current price. Nonsense. Selling all the shares would change the price in some way.
Location context for those reading from elsewhere:
Onondaga county is in New York. It is located near the geographic centre of the state of New York, and has a population of around 500 thousand people. Syracuse both the county seat and only city in the county.
Walmart and many other companies underpay workers enough that they have to rely on food stamps. They use food stamps to subsidize their labor costs to avoid paying their workers enough to buy food.
You’re completely right. There is no such thing as trans men, only women. And after transitioning trans women are measurably happier. This just goes to show that our society is disproportionately supportive of women and hostile to men, which is why misogyny is good actually.
!the above is satire in case it was unclear!<
I’m explaining the motivation that reasonable people would take when acting reasonably. Attributing the choice to racism is a much less reasonable assumption.
Education varies because of state and local governments. Having a kid in private school is not innately unreasonable.
He lives in arizona. The interviewer is from the phoenix office. The ATC controller is black, which makes the presumption of an anti-brown motivation even more of a stretch.
I’m unfamiliar with the specifics of education in arizona.
The father in the interview is black. This isn’t a race thing.
He wants his daughter to get a good education. As an air traffic controller, he surely knows the value of education because he works a job that takes a lot of education and training to get into. Public schools in the united states are very bad, and underfunded. Private middle and high schools are common in cities and are usually much better than the public schools. Its a good choice for anyone with the means, which he had every other month this year.
Racism is systemic. It is behind the right wing policies that constantly underfund education. It is rarely the driver of individuals. Individual’s decisions are shaped by the options available more than anything else. Sending his daughter to a private school is the best choice for a father in his position. Hold your ire for those in positions of power.
What is the status of the states that are not listed?
Elon is smart enough to not ride his own rockets, he too will be smart enough to not enter his own subsea tunnel. Which is a shame.
There is a law
Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019
They will get back pay. The law says they get back pay and these statements have not changed the law.
They’re way cheaper and they last multiple lifetimes. I don’t know what you’re on about.
wealth in the context I used it is far more about accumulated wealth and savings rather than income. A junior congressmember hasn’t had that salary for long and could be easily coerced by a shutdown very quickly, if congressional pay was cut during a shutdown.
You’re right. The US already has the solution under the NLRA. If a union contract cannot be negotiated by the deadline, the old one remains in effect.
A proper government could do that, but I prefer kicking everyone out and starting anew.
The US social security card does not have a gender marker. However, the database entry associated with the card does, and that database is what the feds use as the primary reference for determining someone’s gender in federal systems.
There are no circumstances where an ID card would be unable identify an individual but for the gender marker. Gender markers should not exist. Gender shouldn’t even be recorded.
Examining the genitals of newborn babies and recording the findings is weird unhinged behavior. It should not be normal.
Customs and border control is a federal agency. States do not control their own borders.
If you have to interact with the federal government, it is generally safer to go to offices in accepting areas, because despite federal control, offices are staffed by locals. For safety, check in with locals and vet your social security office before arrival.
However Canadians cannot do this by selecting their destination. When flying to the US, the customs check takes place in the foreign airport. They call it pre-clearence. Every major Canadian airport has pre-clearence, so your passport will be checked by customs agents, specifically selected for a foreign deployment. Upon the return trip the federal tsa will check your passport again before the flight.
My advice for travelers to the US is do not. Go literally anywhere else, or stay home. But if you have to, I would consider a land crossing, because in that case you only pass through a federal check one time upon arrival. But regardless check with local communities to ensure the federal agents you interact with are the least bad possible.
Because the purpose of a CEO is wealth transfer. Controlling the company is purely incidental.
This is how it’s always worked.
If members of congress were not paid, the richer members could use a shutdown to coerce the poorer members, knowing that they have enough saving to survive the payment stop longer than poorer members. In a government where shutdowns are possible, continuing to pay representatives is necessary.
In a proper country, a shutdown would result in an immediate recall and disbarment of every elected official. But we don’t live in a proper country.
Continuing to pay those responsible for the shutdown is a bad thing. Punishing every other government worker for someone else’s ineptitude is bad. But on balance not paying congress would probably be just a bit worse.
Its a shame that no true no true scottsman fallacy has ever been tried.
