The checks and balances for that are the voters, supposedly.

The senate ranks based off seniority. The longer you've been a senator, the more power you yield. Senior senators get first choice of committee assignment. The longer you're on a committee, the more senior you are on that committee. So, very old person has been a powerhouse for a long time and gets to choose their committees. The more senior, the more powerful committee you can join; the longer on the power committees, the more power you yield on that committee. THE SENATE IS SET UP TO GIVE MORE POWER TO OLD PEOPLE.

She wasn't put anywhere, she chose those spots; and there isn't a damn person who can do anything about it as long as she is re-elected. Retire or death is the only way she leaves those committees. I know how this will end. As long as she gets re-elected. It's that simple.

I don’t believe it would break the economy. I think it would open up the world to new economic opportunities. But, people like the Koch’s want to keep a stranglehold on what they got and they’re willing to pump money into propaganda along with idiots like Murdoch. Why convince the dumb population to change when you can make them angry and rob them blind.

Her Wikipedia page is wild.

Things like:

Her father introduced her and her brother to photography while doing several stereoscopic photographs of her naked while teaching her the art of photography.

She almost stepped in front of a car in Manhattan, but was saved by Condé Nast, the publisher of vogue. This launched her modeling career and was one of the most popular models for a couple years.

Her modeling career was derailed when someone illegally used her picture to sell menstrual pads (oh the innocent roaring ‘20s of the twentieth century).

Fashion designers then hired her to design fashion since she was a good artist.

This lady needs a good book written about her life. It’s crazy and wonderful.

The blood of the children SA by the church, members of the GOP, patriot front, anyone screaming groomers about the lgbtq+ community, and George Santos. And let’s not forget the blood harvest from the lgbtq+ children that are sent to re-education camps.

It’s so much worse than it already was when I lived there.

That’s what happens when we do nothing to stop the problem. Sure the house is on fire, but everything will be fine. Twenty minutes later…. This is so much worse than it was 20 minutes ago.

You forgot tires in that stopping equation. Do you live someplace with a lot of snow and ice? Get really good winter tires. Only get studded tires if your winters are constant snow and ice in the ground, and there are some very good studless winter tires: blizzak, X-ice, hakkapeliita etc. Good winter tires will decrease your stopping distance compared to all season.

No place is perfect. There are many places doing better, but they have gone through all the other cycles of shittery, and have landed on better. I have hopes for the west coast.

@ArtemisApp is in beta right now. @hariette has been hard at work. I look forward to trying it soon. Hopefully. I’m not on discord, and that’s where most people are getting beta.

I’m convinced that Musk and Huffman are hanging out smoking pot and taking dmt, stroking each other till orgasm whispering in each other’s ear how great their plans are.

Don’t worry, once North Korea realizes they can make a fortune off star gazing tourism we’ll all enjoy viewing an unperturbed night sky.
