  1. Yeah no one talks about his ridiculous tariffs on China that he did. He was raising prices on goods before COVID, with no actual plan or objective behind it. But you know, 10 second memory on all that. Only Biden's 'shrinkflation' matters now.
  2. But... that is the play. That's their entire game right there.
  3. This would mean hiring more employees or cutting operating hours. Let's watch as companies line up to implement this.
  4. My installation of Windows has a similar problem. It can do smaller updates but any time it tries to update to version 21H2 it gets a 0x800700c1 error. Same with updating .NET framework. I tried every suggestion online but I'm just gonna have to do a reinstall at some point. I've just been too lazy.
  5. It was posted in the Performing Arts forum in the John Oliver thread, but yes, very eye-opening. And he (and his team) do a tremendous job elucidating everything.
  6. Again, they're literally using the word here to describe their ethnicity combined with the assumption that they aren't here legally. How is this NOT a racist term at this point?
  7. I forget where I heard it but they weren't given much freedom to flesh out Peach's backstory, so maybe they'll get the slack to do that this time.
  8. What's confusing about it? Don't use racist codewords to demean specific groups of minorities. Seems pretty cut-and-dry to me. How does it help progress? Well, maybe by humanizing undocumented immigrants with inclusive language (words influence perception, look it up), we can change the public's willingness to understand and accept them. Or we could just continue to demonize them.
  9. It's derogatory. It's not used for anyone except undocumented people from our southern border. A white Canadian here without a passport never hears the word. A white British person that snuck on a plane to get here doesn't hear it. Hell anyone else that breaks the law and could be called "an illegal" is rather called a criminal, or some other variation. It's used so specifically that hearing the phrase can only conjure up the image of a brown-skinned Spanish-speaking person, which makes it a handy code word for racist politicians that want a thin veneer of cover for targeting them.
  10. A reminder that Romney is still your bog standard Republican, even if he isn't a MAGA cultist.
  11. You know before Biden said Laken Riley's name, he should have told Marjorie Taylor Greene to say the names of the children killed in this country last year from assault rifles.
  12. You realize his "predecessor" is also his political rival, right? And that that election takes place this year?
  13. Ah damn! He left such an indelible mark on my childhood. This is a big loss.
  14. And how does making it even easier for them to do so help in any way whatsoever?
