@flyfishcedarci1@BryanSteil I didn't believe you about the Republican policies pushing mfg overseas (vis-a-vis Democrat policies). But it does appear that most mfg job loss (as % of pop) corresponds directly with Republican presidents. At least after 1960.
Reminder: Last year, a woman in Orange County, CA was charged w/ felonies after she successfully registered her dog to vote in CA and casted multiple mail in ballots in the dog's name in CA elections. She was only caught because she turned herself in and her attorney said she wanted to "make a point". The dog's vote was successfully counted in the 2021 recall election of Governor Newsom, but the dog's ballot in the 2022 primary was rejected. Why the difference?
According to the OC DA's office: "Proof of residence or identification is not required for citizens to register to vote in state elections nor is it required to cast a ballot in state elections. However, proof of residence and registration is required for first- time voters to vote in a federal election. As a result, the 2022 primary ballot cast in [the dog's] name was challenged and rejected."
The woman, Laura Lee Yourex, has pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing. She has no prior criminal history.
Prior to her arrest, she mockingly posted on social media that her dog, Maya Jean, had voted, and had continued receiving mail in ballots, posting photos of Maya Jean with her ballots.
"After years of disappointing profit growth (see 2015-2025), analysts have sharply increased their forecasts for 2026, with expected earnings for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index climbing nearly 50% to record highs."

Even the most unimaginably-resourced companies simply cannot correctly staff and integrate toolsets. The worst is when you have 4 megasuites of a zillion features (they always expand the codebase) run by 4 different teams, each using a few basic features. It is absolute hell.
@ModernDad@pmarca I’m not sure what happened to it after we went fully remote during COVID. 🤔 It’s somewhere in the SF office. Next time I’m there I’ll try and find it. I do have a copy of the rejection email they sent. Remember being amused they followed up with a physical letter as well.
I ride the subway every single day in NYC - and can confirm, it is swarming with people who are mentally unstable.
The city needs to jail people who are naked, urinating, screaming, and smoking on trains.
The city also needs to install real gates.

@CyberSecurity__ This is so disingenuous! Cogdell is a lifelong democrat who VOLUNTEERED to join Paxton's defense team. He allegedly is not terribly political and rarely votes. He most likely was compelled to endorse Talarico to preserve his practice. He is an honorable man.

I watched the interview and it does not appear this frame was edited, though it was definitely cherry-picked.
Can you imagine conducting an interview with a microexpression like this? Definitely hostile.
Correction: An "armed, non-state actor" terrorist organization that openly flouts the Geneva Convention has announced they are shutting down Israel's access to the Red Sea.
Holding their own population hostage seems to be a very effective loophole.
