HUG. Do you have insurance to get treatment for your depression at least? I will be your family. You are more than welcome to show up at my place for Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Would this sub be driven with an x-box controller and going to visit the Titanic?

Oh, no. Thoughts and prayers.

 

The administration of President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit claiming that dozens of labor contracts between unions and federal agencies are invalid because they impede Trump's abilities to purge the federal workforce and protect national security.

The departments of Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs and four other agencies sued in Waco, Texas, federal court late on Thursday seeking a ruling that an executive order, opens new tab issued by Trump earlier in the day excluding certain agencies from collective bargaining requirements allows them to cancel existing contracts.

This should have been filed in DC courts. Trump and his sycophants filed in TX cause they are judge shopping for someone that will be sympathetic to their bullshit.

Say hi to Jennifer Piggot!

This cunt is a raging bigot.

Trump cast her out,

fucked around and found out;

her eyes gush tears like a spigot.

I know someone that's involved in the organ transplant industry. What I was told is that when someone is on life support, the hospital and agency involved in the transplantation process aggressively try to get the family to sign off on the organ harvest, without full confirmation that the person is actually brain dead. It happened in KY in 2021

The Houthis, is a Zaydi Shia Islamist political and military organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s. It is predominantly made up of Zaydi Shias, with their namesake leadership being drawn largely from the Houthi tribe. The group has been a central player in Yemen's civil war, drawing widespread international condemnation for its human rights abuses, including targeting civilians and using child soldiers. The Houthis are backed by Iran. The Houthis emerged as an opposition movement to Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh, whom they accused of corruption and being backed by Saudi Arabia and the United States.

The market goes through boom/bust cycles. This particular bust cycle is being precipitated by shitty political policies. You should be studying the prospectus for the stocks/products you are buying through your 401K. The prospectus tells you what company stocks make up the investment product, and will show you the long term performance. If you're worried about US markets, you can move your some of your holdings into European/Asian stock products for a bit more diversity. In terms of risk, the stock market is riskier than the bond market, however bonds tend to preserve the purchase value over time rather than generate profit. The higher the risk, the higher the reward. What I have done is take my dividends/profits out of the stock side of the market, and use them to purchase bonds. This way I preserve the profit, and the original investment used to generate the profit stays in the risky part of the market to hopefully keep generating profit. Since the market is taking a big hit right now, now would be the time to buy, while the prices are lower, understanding that you are betting on a recovery which might not happen. Any financial advisor worth their salt would at the very least tell you to diversify your porfolio, as in don't put all of your eggs in one basket. I would take this a step further to say, you should build up a savings account and not count on something risky like the stock market to be there for you when you retire. The stock market is just gambling.

Many of the Arab Americans that voted for Trump voted that way out of pure misogyny. They didn't want to vote for a woman. Let's face it, the home grown Trumpers voted that way for the same reasons, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and racism. Anyone that proudly voted for Trump gets no help or sympathy from me. FEAST YE LEOPARDS!

On the day of his death, February 1, 2021, Mr Muir stepped on a guard rail to look into the multibaler before the strapping arch of the machine moved and crushed him.

The court heard on Friday how the jury rejected an argument from the defence that Mr Muir's actions were deliberate and an act of suicide.
