And also things the party that most wants it to happen will never ever enact because their ideologies conflict with one another

Not in California, but we had twins, a couple days stay in the hospital, and have really good insurance. Still got billed 7k for the supposedly 80k total the hospital was billing for.

They're pretending to offer incentives while their actual policies are why birth rates are declining.

5k won't even cover the hospital costs for the birth. Let alone the child care, continuing to insure that child, food, housing, child care because both parents need to work, education which they've been staying refunding for decades...

It was only reported to have been found after the officer (with no body cam) got the backpack to the precinct. This was after an initial warrantless search on the site of the arrest

You really think of the thousands of NYPD personnel, none of them have a 3d printer?

They're not letting him near the press. The one thing we've heard from him as they shoved him against a wall in front of cameras was that they planted stuff on him.

So exactly what you're doing being contrarian in this thread....

The police worked very hard to make you think it was him. Like planting all this"damning evidence" on him for his... trip to McDonald's a week later.

It's heavily right wing politics that are pushing for people to have more children, however none of their policies actually facilitate that happening. Their push to increase wealth inequality, increase pricing and decrease availability and affordability of housing, child care and medical care all contribute to people not wanting to have children.

Their policies are not consistent with their states end goals.

I used to stock shelves. Those sabra plastic containers break a lot during transit. The smell of half dried hummus is one of the most vile things I have ever experienced. Suffice it to say I do not eat hummus.

That doesn't do a whole lot to help with the touch issue this entire thread was about. When people talk about wanting human touch, they don't mean just a half second tap.

That was recent change based on how they were used to declare Clinton bring the victor before voting even started. So Bernie started 400+ votes behind if you listened to the way the media was reporting it
