Thatâ(TM)s due to republicans fighting it.

There is a reason states went to $15 minimum wage because they got tired of people living on welfare. And if the minimum wage goes up the number on welfare goes down. It isnâ(TM)t as drastic but making companies pay people instead of the state is smart.

Privacy was always an illusion. In the mid 1990â(TM)s my boss paid for not 1 but 4 books every other year. A couple of copies of the white pages. But then also two different reverse lookup books. Sorted by phone number and address.

It is kind of like the people who live off the grid but still get Amazon deliveries every week. From their mobile and sat computer links.

Ice vehicles had many years of bad gas tank designs. It took decades to correct ice vehicles to make it so they hardly catch on fire at random any more.

That said I know several personal antetodes where an ice engines randomly caught fire and burned to the ground. The best one was on Halloween 2022 when my mother in law pulled in to my driveway on the flames of hell. Her voltage regulator randomly fried and caught a bunch of dry leaves on fire. By the time the fire dept got there the whole car was engulfed. And the fire dept was getting ready to handy out Halloween candy and was 3 minutes away.

I have also friendly jump started 2 separate vehicles which also burst into flames due to bad voltage regulators.

Electric vehicles have less parts to go wrong but still need lots of testing over long time

My father in law and his son both have had the surgery and it helped but they are both still over weight.

My wifeâ(TM)s best friend had the surgery and she has kept it off better.

You need a diet change too. You canâ(TM)t eat the same crap in crap quantities.

Fix the diet first and the surgery is almost always successful.

We havent gotten rid the snake oil salesmen but at least we can protect some

  onerous regulations have reasons. Just because you are too stupid understand why. Doesnt mean everyone elese is.

Trump did do something. He gutted the regulations so we dont need air traffic controllers. Problem solved

Why do you think we are having constant food outbreaks? Trump gutted the USDA food safety regulators(people) and regulations. So companies dont have to comply

Why cant the FAA keep up with space x and can watch boeing? The same reason as we dont need safe air travel.

Every regularion and group responsible for saftey was attacked. Project 2025 is set to do so again.
