Pretty sure it depends on local jurisdiction. In some places the shop owner would be required to call the police to trespass someone. In others, the owner of the property has nearly the physical authority of a home owner in removing people.

Just in time, Trump needs a new water boy

I don't think epicanthic folds would be considered evolution. Most human changes are in our immune system and sense of smell.

It would be impossible to build today by any means. Not because of any technological problem. Physically it could be done rather quickly, as others have posited. The problem is that you could never combine the political and economic will to complete it.

It's the same reason it would be easier to colonize Mars than to fix climate change. There's a half dozen robots on Mars that will do whatever you tell them. On Earth, there's 7 billion assholes who think they have a better idea of what to do.

There's a ton of right wing sites that would tell you eliminating the cap is a complete waste of time horrible for the economy, bringer of the end of days, etc.

Bezos, like many ultra wealthy, most likely paid himself some token amount in wages. Many CEO's used to pay themselves $1, just to say they had an income. They have accountants that decide how much he should claim as wages, just to maximize the returns from Social Security, without paying into it any more than needed.

Don't bother, if they can't leave a message, you didn't want to talk to them.

She could save us all a lot of time if she just told us what cheating exactly would be prosecuted. That way we'll know what to indict her and Trump for.

Primaries are the place for protest votes. You want to send a message, send it now in the primary.

Come general election, it's time to shut up and protect the country.

It's about time someone did. War is just violent economics. Taking away Putin's income will cost him the war faster than killing Russians.

Honestly only a million is a weak number. Three or four would have been good, six would make me think democracy might survive. The 2020 election was over $14 billion, and we've had strong inflation since then.

Getting people pumped to support Biden is like getting excited about plain toast. We best start acting like it's our first food in a month.

It's only cancel culture when it happens to fascists.
