I prefer the kiosks too, but if they’re going to be hiring fewer people as a result, prices should be reduced to account for their cost savings.

Settlements just mean that they’re paying to end the cases though; no one will be held accountable for violating their first amendment rights in the first place.

Cultural differences don’t justify locking a tourist up for months in inhumane conditions and charging them tens of thousands of dollars in fines merely for not carrying supplemental prescription documentation. It’s yet another sign of the democratic backsliding occurring in the country.

In the U.S. at least, the end consumer typically doesn’t get to keep the prescription, either because the doctor sends it electronically to the pharmacy or because the pharmacy keeps it to fill it. Assuming a similar situation in Canada, they might not have had the prescription to take with them in the first place.

Just like Russia, any other country could lose access to their legitimate assets in dollars or euros, as well as western financial and payment systems.

Switching to a different system just puts you in the hands of a different master. In any case, Russia is in no position to complain about the seizure of its assets abroad as compensation after destroying far more Ukrainian assets in its invasion and occupation.

The U.S. needs universal healthcare, not battleships or drones prone to balloon military spending further.

While they’re not to my liking and have exploitative microtransactions, the market is highly served by games like Candy Crush and Wordscapes.

Clearly not an invasion, just a forceful military annexation carried out by eliminating the Finnish Danish military. Totally different. /s

Finnish -> Danish

On the bright side, $300M is basically nothing on the scale of this country

It’s still a waste of money that should be benefitting rather than harming the public.

Many people leave rural areas for urban areas for economic reasons, but high housing costs in those urban areas lead people to settle in suburban areas where car usage is often essential.

I don’t see any indicators that people are not getting driver’s licenses en masse; the number of licensed drivers has continued to increase, something that can’t fundamentally change without a substantial increase in public funding for mass transit or a decrease in the urban sprawl that characterizes many American suburbs.

Technically the ABSOLUTE best case, in which Dems pick up every single Senate seat (which would probably translate to the requisite 2/3 in the House) they have the barest of margins to do so.

The realistic best case scenario—particularly after Republican-slanted gerrymandering—won’t be a two-thirds majority in the house, and definitely won’t be a two-thirds majority in the senate.

That’s only a widespread option in urban areas with that have invested in mass transit. American suburbs are ultimately designed around car usage, and rural areas are too sparsely populated for mass transit to ever be viable there.

We need congress to grow a pair of balls and this is apparently how it will be done.

The Republicans control both houses of Congress; even the best case midterm scenario wouldn’t give the Democrats enough votes to override a veto.

I’m all for less surveillance in cars, but American cars don’t have any less surveillance than Chinese ones, so using it as a reason to prevent their import is a bit disingenuous.

What more Americans could use are more affordable cars—particularly affordable electric cars—and competition with Chinese imports would help that happen.

“Liberty Counsel” isn’t a very good name for an organization that seeks to restrict the ability for individuals to freely express themselves.

Good or bad, most Americans need a car for everyday life. Particularly for areas that cannot be served by mass transit, electric car adoption is essential to reduce societal emissions.

Injecting racism into the situation doesn’t help anyone.

Xi Jinping, Jack Ma, and Jackie Chan are three that come to mind.

RFK Jr. should keep them to himself.
