You could either decide government has a role to play in a well-functioning economy or you could blame rules designed to prevent discrimination in housing and lending. Having Obama come in to office at the same time sent the Libertarians into maximal jump circle defense mode.
For Libertarian bros, the GFC was an existential crisis. Lenders free to make loans without pesky government oversight and financiers creating ever more complicated investment instruments did not, in fact, bring about a better world. (1/2)
It is difficult - I'd love to hear proposals. The first step, it seems, is to get past the SC invalidating any nationwide law that limits how districts can be drawn. I can see Congress spending 2 years coming up with a well-crafted bill that has broad support only to have the Roberts court say nope.
Got a bunch of garbanzos to cook up and this looks like the perfect use for them.
This goes in the Hall of Fame next to calling the Cybertruck a Deplorean.
just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down
If NC and VA had fair maps, there is a decent chance there would have been a Dem House when Trump 2 started. If the new VA map and the gerrymandered NC map were in place same result. VA has no power to impact the NC legislature, so what should the voters of VA do given the NC map?
This is entirely politically motivated to eliminate an organization that has historically fought neo nazis and the KKK. What an absolute disgrace.

A Corgi sitting on top of the sofa cushions, looking ready to bark "time to lean, time to clean" at his human subjects.
"Chief of staff of the house" position is already filled, thank you for applying.
I lived in Greenville for a while, fun town. I think you can still find them in some of the smaller grocery chains. Food Lion still sells them, apparently.
My dad, from rural NC, enjoys a can of pig brains with eggs. Maybe it's great, I'll never know.
You wouldn't need to do this quick charge every time, but it could solve the final issue for EV adoption in the US: the long road trip.

The Republican Party is finally moving on from Reagan: Great! No more military adventures! A reduction in the obscene military budget! The rich will have to pay their fair share of taxes! Separation of church and state! Support for social welfare and education!
No, not those parts of Reaganism.
That's the one I was trying to teleport to, accidentally ended up in Valdosta. Still good though.
Atlanta is one of my favorite airports for a layover, but it is the absolute worst in America for departure.
Saints - A+*: drafted several players who will reach the Pro Bowl on another team because the Saints can't to afford to resign them after their rookie deals are up.
So many things now are "pay an extra $100 and we'll throw in a couple drinks"

And he's finally started talking about it's true purpose, which isn't hosting grand dances for the hoity toity set.
Keeping my eye on Chinese EV's. Any country with an auto manufacturing industry is trying to keep them out, but if gas prices stay high the public pressure might be overwhelming.
Pope Leo has just moved 3 points ahead of Gavin Newsome in the latest Dem 2028 primary poll!
Every politician who got in trouble over a six figure transaction has to be livid right now.
This sport only exists to give addicts something to bet on.
Carter's post presidency rehabilitated his image on the left. He was too cozy with the Shah, leading to the hostage crisis, and the concurrent at-any-cost Volcker hike doomed him. The caricature of him as a hyper liberal was largely a Republican invention in the 80's to contrast with Reagan.
Wasn't invented until 1912
Just a few more years of warming and we can have coffee plantations in Southern Appalachia.
Funny how the entire world now believes in the TACO Doctrine.
I'm pretty sure he can still turn off his AC, eat at Pizza Hut and Sizzler, skip rocks, etc today if he wanted to. I bet there's even a radio station that plays his favorite songs from his youth.
Gas prices spiked early in Biden's presidency then came back to normal well before the election. US oil production reached an all time high under Biden.
And maybe include the various government programs in that wage analysis. People were probably happier when they were getting $2000 checks, a CTC, and stopped paying their student loans.
