Michigan Democrat lawmakers look to allocate $10 million for tampons - in boys school bathrooms! - The Midwesterner

Democrat lawmakers want menstrual products in schools for both girls and boys – and they’ve proposed $10 million in the state’s education budget to pay for it. State Rep. Mai Xiong, D-Warren, introduced the bill as part of a broader initiative to reduce barriers to education and access to...

This is BS - they don't really believe this - they are laundering this money.

I’m unaware if travel across time zones has been studied and correlated with such increased risks. Who knows, maybe there is an association. Regardless, your assertion isn’t really cogent to the topic of discontinuing daylight savings time.

If change to daylight savings time from std time is a health risk, the same hour change going east a time zone is the same health risk. If not, then the health effect of the change isn't real. There's some other effect. It can't be otherwise.

If god didn't want us to eat eggs everyday then why do chickens lay them every day?

 

[vhcat70]

UHC denies 32% of claims. Dude made 12 million last year to make 22 billion in profits. I’m not saying I want more of this… but eat the rich.

That's a lot of false claims.

Just maybe to have chicks. I know that's a stretch of science.

I don’t really know what point you are arguing. Subjecting yourself to the stress of travel and adapting to a different time zone may very well increase your risk for certain health related misadventures, particularly if you are predisposed to such events. I’m unaware of any studies exploring that question, however the data that IS known surrounding daylight savings time change indicate there is a negative impact on health when considering a large population of individuals. Perhaps a study on such travel is warranted, though it would be exceedingly difficult to design a proper study on what would need to be a very large sample of individuals.

SIAP, but saw this last night while surfing the net here at Radisson by Frankfurt Flughafen. Heh,

Because nobody cares about hunter biden. Just like nobody cares about Jr meeting with the Russians. All of politics, including the Trump family, is dirty as hell. Americans just want to go back to not seeing it all over the news 24/7. If people wanted something different they wouldn't vote the same people into office for 40+ years.

Platinumdrgn has been owned, OWNED, several times by us. Not debatable.

Meanwhile, 11 year blanket pardons are on the up and up

The fact he has put out the insane losers he has to run our most important government agencies shows just how unhinged the old man is.
I wouldn't leave Matt Gaetz or Hegseth alone for 5 minutes with my granddaughter much less in charge of anything of importance.
Clown Show.

 

[sambowieshin]

I’m going to remain optimistic. I spent 4 years focusing on every negative aspect of the last Trump administration and it drained me mentally. Going to hope for the best this go around and already feel better about things.

I would feel much better if he wasn't nominating lunatic pedophiles and sex abusers to lead our government agencies.

 

[sambowieshin]

Typical leftist scum.

DeSantis sucks! He let's people go out to bars! Everyone is going to die!

Don't say gay! Florida sucks!

I hate Florida such a shithole state!

It's cold, I want to visit Florida.

Hush Miss Gaetz.

Bigger enemy of the working class are people who downplay their struggles and side with the billionaire class. The collective majority would be much better off uniting and taking back the wealth that has been stolen from us.

I've never had a billionaire still a penny from me. The federal government however, steals from me every two weeks.

Romney was and is such a pussy. The GOP are filled with losers. These people gave us McCain and Romney to go against Obama. This country was doomed regardless.

Any Republican politician who talks about Trump tearing at unity and pushing hate is a lying piece of controlled opposition trash. The left's entire platform is based on division and hating anyone who stands in their way.

Does Romney think calling everyone a sexist, racist Nazi piece of garbage, trying to silence opposing views, and violently attacking Republicans is "unity?"

Haha but you voted for Pedo Pete and would’ve again.

I just enjoy the vitriol. Like the insults sprinkled in crack me up. Not trying to patronize. I think you say some valid things. I just think cutting federal down to the bone can have unattended consequences.

Perhaps what this country needs is a good few years of buckled down spending? Cut down on everything and live like I did in 2012 and 13. Those were tough years for myself, but it made the next 10 easier.

Reading this thread has given me hope. My twitter and Reddit is pretty miserable. Yall have got me feeling a lot more positive.

In the words of Thomas Sowell, there are no perfect solutions, only trade offs. Cutting spending will absolutely have consequences. It will be painful for many people. But people can adapt and it opens a path for a booming economy with less people who are government dependent that can take advantage and become wealthy. If we continue spending the way we are, the interest on the debt alone will bankrupt the country and we will make Venezuela look like a utopia in comparison to how bad it will get here. So, which trade off do you prefer?

And a liberal is complaining about the wealth gap he/she will have if they get rich from selling the product.

Sitting at Frankfurt Flughafen. Plane is ready. It's sitting on the tarmac. Flight departs at 10 am CET/4 am EST.

Had a great trip. Celebrated Thanksgiving over here in Germany for first time 1994, and first time since 1985 in Burbach. Former SIL prepared some killer venison, potato dumplings and cabbage day before Thanksgiving. Had a blast with nephew in Bamberg.

Here's our banana pudding I made. Vanilla wafers arrived intact because I hand-carried them onto the plane. Former BIL calls it "Kaloriebombe" or Calorie Bomb. Heh. Grandkids loved it.

Catch y'all later.

I think it was Saint Augustine who said that the world is a book and those that haven't traveled have only read a page.


Austin has read many pages because he has been to many places. As SDC said, safe travels man.

I’m fine cutting spending. I am fine giving up luxuries in the short term for long term successes, but there’s irony in these millionaire and billionaire politicians and advisors telling me it’s going to be hard without they themselves not feeling the pinch.

I've never had a billionaire still a penny from me. The federal government however, steals from me every two weeks.

You’re missing the forest for the trees. Unless you’ve always owned your business or worked for government, someone has benefited from your output. My qualms don’t like with Joe HVAC, who started his business and 20 years ago and is very successful. My problems lie squarely at businesses like dollar tree, Amazon, etc. that manipulate hours to maximize profits at the expense of workers.

I’ll add one more thing. Our country shouldn’t profit on crime and punishment, education, or healthcare. Insurance on my car and house is there in the event of a random disaster. Knock on wood, I’ve never had to file a claim. At some point, we are all going to experience a medical emergency, so why do we let these arseholes decide what is covered and what isn’t, especially since we’ve already paid in. Like I said previously, all politicians and healthcare CEO’s should be nervous. That nervousness keeps them honest.

Tell that to democrats: tell that to your politicians who are profiting off of you.

That's called buying something. The word for that is purchase.

This is missing the forest for the trees. You (general) are only ever capable of ruination, as has been abundantly shown historically. There is no greater enemy of the working class than you, the socialist who is there to "help" them by taking away from their employers and other successful people in society. You will make things more unaffordable and scarce, not plentiful, by removing profit and giving it all over to the government. Wealth and success are created through privatization, not "your" completely discredited economic, social and State control theories.

We have socialism for farmers when fields do not yield results. We have socialism when big banks and businesses are on the verge of calamity.

If you were a true capitalist, you’d been livid that Trump and Biden forgave 3.7 trillion in PPE loans. Like if a business is forced to closed, that’s natural selection. We have a system that enriches the already rich. I can speak hyperbole here, but I just want to see a just system.

I’d prefer a system with strong unions and worker rights, but if Trump is able to deliver in a different way, but relief the burden of everyday life I’ll stay in my lane and be very gracious.

That's where you're ignorant. Profit is the only thing that gets people out of bed in the morning. If it weren't for profit, there would be no incentive. If you REALLY want to learn something, you should read Atlas Shrugged. Marxism doesn't work. Never has.

The solution to your complaint is to break up the really big companies and allow for MORE competition, not less. The big corporations use lobbyists to push out the little guy and get all the profits for themselves. THEY are the ones getting GOVERNMENT to put its ugly thumb on the scale.

Example: Health insurance. There are hard lines at state boundaries preventing people from shopping outside their own state. All that needs to be done is to evaporate those boundaries and health insurance policy prices would plummet. LESS regulation, not more.

You need to stop whinging at the lack of perfection in society. Jesus said the poor would always be with us. The key is to give everyone in America the CHANCE to make something of themselves. If you want a safety net, move to Canada and wait for their economy to collapse. It NEVER works.

Yeah, finding the white papers that the Dems were going to break up Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Apple and then control the vital parts (for the perfect communist state) seems to have had an effect.

You wouldn't and won't.

And that's not socialism. A mixed economy is a necessary evil, hereto shown to be at least. It's not like I don't get the socialist "argument." If the government is forced to step in to prevent calamity, it doesn't necessitate the government should step in everywhere or anywhere else. That's nonsensical and creates its own problems. You people simply don't know what you don't know: in the immortal words of Donald Rumsfeld, the unknowns are completely unknown to you. We had a similarly arrogant and ignoratn poster here before espousing socialism named Dionysus (a greek god of debauchery and chaos hwo was a pedophile) thought he had the world figured out because he went to college and got a history degree, mad at himself he was forced to work a BS job, so he spent hours upon hours here taking out his frustrations on conservatives he hated. He was a know-nothing know-it-all. Your posts, from what I';ve read, strike me in the same vein. What do you know? You're a middle school teacher in the middle of nowhere. What experience do you have actually doing anything of import someone else could've easily done?

What I mean is that your ideas and ideals only make "Sense" to people who don't actually udnerstand much, if anything, and/or people of very limited experience or ability, and people who have never had a real job, like Bernie Sanders. Incidentally, that's who you should be mad at for being rich, not the productive. You can't even have a sophisticated conversatino with your old man, but you know how to fix society such that no one has to work more than 40 hours a week while everyone has all their basic necessities met? It can be done, we can do it! Here's a 10 minute youtube video some kid made and a Vox article which will explain how!. Give me (us) a break. No, you won't stay in your lane and be gracious; you'll move the goalposts and kick the can down the road just like all others before you inculcated by your ideology. You'll be tilting at widmills whill the rest of us are enjoying an American Renaissance.

You're being trolled. They're going to get worse with the whining. Let them whine. They've been dealt a deathblow by this election. It only gets worse for them, unbeknownst to them.

I think the narrowing of pardon powers is much needed. I think they can be narrowed but only such that they expressly name the crimes for which they are being pardoned. No more overbroad, blanket, get out of jail free cards that span days, weeks, or months.

Or oddly specific lengths of time like 11 years.
