What are you asking? If you get fired, you go find a different job or go on strike.

The US needs to add long-term contracts to all jobs so this shit can't happen again, but most Americans don't seem to realize how US labor law is shit.

That whole time, Republicans couldn't get anything else done. Just imagine what Democrats could actually obstruct if more of them had the values and willpower to do so.

McConnell and Paul also see the writing on the wall. When the cost of living skyrockets, if democracy somehow survives, the Republicans are right fucked.

Bernie is independent, so of course he can't replace him... They aren't in the same party.

Then they will offer shit support to avoid doing so. Simpler and safer to just make unlocking legit from the start.

I don't think these are reciprocal. I think these are unilateral, and when countries respond, their tariffs will be reciprocal. The distinction is very important. This is a problem created by Trump, not by other countries. You don't get to choose false language to describe it that shifts the blame.

Quite frankly, I don't give a f*** if they look in the mirror and say that they will do better. We've been calling on them to do better for many years, or decades even, depending who you are. Don't bother f****** telling us how you're going to f****** do better. Just start doing better already.

No, it's not even close to one of the greatest threats. Of course it's up to shady s***, of that there can be no doubt, but it's not ranked in the top five.

Classic baitclick.

You really can't. How is Trump looking out for him? By firing women and black people and Native Americans? By arresting college students? Jesus.

I'm working on a website for high school writing (in English). If you want to take a look, and possibly offer feedback, feel free.

 

Here's Ozzy Man's critical analysis of Johnny Howard the Prime Minister buying back guns and crushin' them ay. It may have some relevance to current American events.

 

WINDER, GA—In the hours following a violent rampage in Georgia in which a lone attacker killed at least four individuals and injured nine others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Wednesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place...

 

Can you think of any titles from real journal articles or essays that are eye-catching?

I'm writing a document for high school students taking an English writing class, and rather than create my own examples, why not use real ones? Several of my students have expressed frustration, and I have some guidelines and brainstorming tools, but what I don't have are two dozen neat examples.

 

OSAKA – An American man known for streaming provocative videos has been arrested on suspicion of breaking into a construction site in Osaka, police said Friday.

Ramsey Khalid Ismael, 23, known as "Johnny Somali" on YouTube, was arrested with another American, Jeremiah Dwane Branch, 24, who says he is a university student, according to police.

Ismael's videos include those in which he makes light of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and makes racist comments about Japanese people.

The two men allegedly made an unauthorized entry into a hotel construction site in Osaka's Chuo Ward on Aug. 30 with Branch filming a masked Ismael at the scene, according to the police.

They have told police they will not speak until they see lawyers, police said.
