The problem is ultimately about personal responsibility and harm reduction. Nothing says you can't kick one of them to death.

Loved my Zune, miss my Zune. The only issue I had was being forced to use Microsoft's shitty software.

Total credit card debt having just hit a record $1.1 trillion, up $363B since 2021. That's $7.3B a month. Buy Now, Pay Later schemes, projected at $117B this year, aren’t even counted. in c/usa@midwest.social

I always wonder what they consider 'debt' on these graphs. All my monthly expenses go on my credit card, then I pay it all off the following month. It's about $1,000 each month. Do they think I have $1,000 of credit card debt?

Orbán says Trump 'ate' von der Leyen 'for breakfast' in trade talks in c/europe@feddit.org
[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 1 points 4 days ago

Of course he did. If I thought I could get something out of the Trump administration, I'd also flatter him.

This just proves Orban is smarter than Trump. A very low bar.

Didn't they already remake The Pink Panther with Steve Martin? I'm so old the terrible remakes are getting terrible remakes.

https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Bills/Bill?ObjectName=2025-HB-4027

https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Bills/Bill?ObjectName=2025-HB-4028

These two bills have been passed by the Michigan House. The 'public' purpose is to return control of permitting solar fields and wind power generators to local government. It repeals statutes that currently allow the Michigan Public Service Commission to overrule local communities for green-energy projects. As far as I know, current statute doesn't allow local communities to overrule the construction of new fossil-fuel based power plants.

There are also these two clauses in the bill as passed:

(2) A county or township shall not regulate or control the drilling, completion, or operation of oil or gas wells or other wells drilled for oil or gas exploration purposes and does not have jurisdiction with reference to the issuance of permits for the location, drilling, completion, operation, or abandonment of such wells.

(3) An ordinance shall not prevent the extraction, by mining, of valuable natural resources from any property unless very serious consequences would result from the extraction of those natural resources. Natural resources shall be considered valuable for the purposes of this section if a person, by extracting the natural resources, can receive revenue and reasonably expect to operate at a profit.

The bills are actually anti-local control when it comes to mining and oil drilling operations. These two items have been left out of talking points.

You should know there's an effort in Congress to ban ranked-choice voting on federal elections. (www.congress.gov)
 

I expect this to have broad bipartisan support and to pass with little opposition.

To deny tax deductions and other Federal funding for the costs of gender transition procedures. (www.congress.gov)
 

The bill itself is unsurprising and uninteresting. What is interesting is the title and description written by the bill's sponsors (Claudia Tenney R-NY, Dan Crenshaw R-TX).

"To deny tax deductions and other Federal funding..."

These congressmen think tax deductions are Federal funding. If they did not think this way, they would have left out the word other in their description.
