She was kinda stuck with that though because she was still VP and whether fair or not that is also viewed as her economy. The economy being good and costs for the average citizen aren't the same thing anymore and I think that doesn't really "compute". Was a lot better than the current economy anyway...

She started out quite strong then the Hillary advisors stepped in and she started cozying up to "ex"Republicans as if that would get her some sort of cross support from the maga cult.

Yeah, like if they can't reform to represent their voters then we're gonna have to throw the whole party out. Not really the type of play I want to have to make in the current situation though.

The irony is that these conservatives often can't afford large families without welfare, the exact things Republicans are cutting. Those give a lot more than onetime 5k payments.

Technically speaking they still are because everyone is a relative.

I mean anything more than like 60K is still technically making money. If they're in a place where Childcare costs 40k it is likely they make at least 80k due to the high cost of living or they have more than one child. The poorer people in that area have to use family, friends, and less official care. Federally, parents only get 12wk of unpaid leave.

Yep, quite a lot too. Once baby is out they start getting separate billing too. No, you aren't reading that wrong. Since we don't have single payer healthcare the doctors, nurses, drugs, etc are all to be paid for by the patient. Therefore health insurance but insurance wants to make money which means they don't want to pay so unless you give them more money they have a pretty high limit before they cover things.

This is after improvements by Obama but he compromised too much so not nearly enough has gotten better.

If it is only used in court it isn't influencing an election. So they'd still be in the clear.

There are laws about it for military stuff, they actually can just be legally nationalized if a CEO is being a traitor. I'm not sure about the timeline for that to be done but trying to do it at all would have been better than continuing with no consequences.

There are limited alternatives to starlink in war zones with infrastructure at risk like Ukraine, not to mention the government contracts that were signed to pay and use them mean switching isn't the easiest.

  1. Shipping probably already started.

  2. B2B deals will have fine print about when units will arrive and be "released".

That's been true since slow-walking advanced equipment and allowing Musk to remain free and not nationalizing Starlink after he fucked parts of the counteroffensive.
