No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: US Constitution, Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8. Clearly there is nobility and the members of it get preferential and deferential treatment, but we choose not to endow it with a title thus pretending it doesn't exist.

Well that was an interesting read. Much of the same arguments. Also shows, to me anyways, that this doesn't end in Ukraine.

Interesting detailed analysis of the physiological issues associated with time changes:: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2019.00944/full DST is simply a work-time arrangement, nothing more than a decision to go to school/work an hour earlier. As such, it is not a decision that should be made by the world, by unions of countries (e.g., the EU), or by individual countries, neither at the federal nor the state level. Work-time arrangements are decisions that a workforce could decide at the company level. Therefore, anyone who wants to spend more time at home in daylight after work should convince his/her company and co-workers to advance their start time during certain months of the year or even better: introduce flexibility for individual workers where possible to accommodate differences in personal biological and social requirements.

To be fair, there are two republican parties now. The always-Trumpers and everyone else in the GOP. Only one can claim the title of "dumbshit party."

Ex members of the intel community said the release had Russian fingerprints on it regardless of the veracity of the data. As for the media, that's what they do. It's literally their job. Fox news was sure as fuck actively playing up the 'this must somehow mean Joe Biden is corrupt' angle that the Russians wanted playing up, and CNN etc. went the other way. No surprise that you're only concerned with one of those things. Anyway I'm glad you're now saying that Hunter Biden's laptop is, in itself, an irrelevant sideshow that means nothing.

The online version would benefit from a high-level version (“this is the progression of a jump”) with inline links to the next level of detail (what you have to know), and from there links to that greater level of detail. More maintenance, but that way students will have a context to place pieces of knowledge into. Wendy P.

What - you mean Hunter should be given a job in the administration by his dad?

That's the right wing echo chamber approach. "Everyone is talking about Hunter's laptop! There must be something to this. Let's make ten more posts and see if there are any MORE posts once we are done!"

I was reading an article in the NYT Magazine about the future of democracy in the US; the panel included a couple of liberals, a couple of conservatives, and a couple of academics (yes, they tend liberal). The conservatives were just fine with the description of the Republican Party ad being the problem. Not conservatism, not even the party as it used to be, but as it is now. Link For those with access, it’s a good article My thought is that the party has discovered a way to increase power; it’s a short-term solution, but the fact that power (like money), tends to follow those who already have it, is enough, and will sustain them. Personally, I think that bypasses the notion that parties should be reflections of the times and people, not drivers. Wendy P.
