  • $250 to fill up the car's tank with gasoline?

  • Russel Vought has embraced the label Christian Nationalist. It's not a surprise they want veto power over anything that might go against doctrine.

  • Israel president delivers unusually harsh speech, denouncing settler attacks against Palestinians

    Jump

  • He cited examples of thuggery like a surge of “mob” violence by Jews against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and the abuse of detainees in Israeli custody.

    Reads like ICE tactics against immigrants.

  • We had all these laws against this kind of cruel and unusual punishment, yet the people are going to be held financially responsible for the acts of a malicious minority currently running the Executive Branch? Why have any laws if the highest people in government don't have to follow them? Why isn't the minority held financially responsible for breaking laws? Why will the rest of us have to pick up the tab for their abuses and lawlessness?

  • Trump’s trade wars turn tomatoes into luxury items with some stores selling a box for $93

    Jump

  • As these costs trickle down, outraged shoppers have taken to social media, filming videos lamenting prices they claim have quadrupled, with some vowing to plant their own gardens to avoid paying up to $8 a pound.

    In California, the cost of water for consumers precludes growing high-cost vegetables to realize overall savings: unless consumers can figure a way to get their water at agricultural pricing.

  • New Zealand government introduces anti-transgender legislation

    Jump

  • How will the legislation deal with humans born with atypical genitalia?

  • UK private water company customers lose access to water

  • I guess if I was in their service domain, I'd have a large drum filled to the rim with water. Just in case.

  • There's a long tradition of physical violence towards kids in US culture. Spare the rod, spoil the child!

  • In the case of trash collection, the fine has been put in place by the trash-collection corporations. How that specifically may analogize to household-chore robots: I'm not sure. There are possibilities, but picking one among many and saying it will certainly be that one seems likely to be like gambling. Perhaps the robotic company requires you to sign an end-user agreement with lots of fine-print legalese.

    Jump

  • I'm making what is called an analogy.

    What reason would the governments have ...?

    The motive is money, but I didn't say anything about governments, that was your interpretation, and I'll admit it is a possibility. These robots are said to be AI, and I'd be very surprised if they don't also have wireless communications of some kind, but to whom and whether those communications can be hacked are all unknowns.

  • In California, decades ago we used to be able to throw away our household trash in one container. Now we have 3 containers, and it's recently become a fine-profit center: if folks don't properly separate their recycling, greenery, and trash components, the AI-surveillance cameras mounted on the trucks will catch it and fine the subscriber (never mind that these trash-recycling-greenery containers are unlocked and on the street where anyone can open and toss something in). In similar fashion, if society adopts robots for household chores, how long until household inspections are held to fine people (as a profit center) who don't keep their homes sufficiently neat?

  • Nice! Sugar Spun Run has a decent pizza-sauce formula.

  • Trump admin directs prisons to wean trans inmates off of hormone therapy in defiance of court order - LGBTQ Nation

  • I'd guess this is a Separation of Church and State breakdown. The bible asserts that god made man and woman, and further, that is an expression of divine will. As Donald Capps wrote, religion and abuse are perfect together.

  • New York real estate titan likens the phrase ‘tax the rich’ to racial slurs

  • Compare this story about how generous and philanthropic the 1% are, versus today's story about the death of IRS Direct File and how it was brought down by (a group of 1%ers in) the tax preparation industry.
