The US dollar is never worth less nor more than than 1 US Dollar. If you owe a debt in USD, the size of that debt does not change based on the purchasing power of the dollar.

That’s beside the point, because you don’t pay taxes in denominations of “loaves of bread”, you pay them in US dollars. If you pay with an asset that is wont to change its value in US dollars on a whim, that’s a gamble for the government. There’s a reason people don’t regularly pay taxes with stock options.
The GameCube was pretty mediocre as a console, but SO MANY of its games have aged like wine.
I mean…
[Gestures wildly at the state of the USA]
Yeah.
I thought it was a photoshop. That shit is actually real, lol.
“I did that” sticker people in shambles
Get enough of a majority in congress that she can be impeached (and convicted). Not possible with a 51/50 split in the senate. It’d take damn near 67 dem senators. Maaaaaaybe they can get 1 or 2 Rs to flip but it’s a long shot.

I mean, this is a useful law for those concerned with the excessive force against pro-palestine protestors, because the definition it references specifically calls out criticism of Israel as a state not being antisemitism.
If you read the text of the act, it really doesn’t do much of anything. Doesn’t expand the powers of the department of education or any law enforcement agency, just clarifies the definition of antisemitism used in existing laws about discrimination. The exact definition proposed is from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance:
Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.
Nothing involving criticism of the government of Israel. That said, they do offer a little bit of clarification on their website:
Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.
I really don’t see anything worth getting worked up about. This is about as standard, boring government as it gets.
Antibiotics. Turned so many lethal wounds into minor cuts.
Her scenes in Death to 2020 just couldn’t have hit the nail on the head any better. I kept getting riled up and had to remind myself it’s satire.
Until the Supreme Court says “well that part might be unconstitutional”
You know it’s congress that writes and approves the national budget, which is how funding gets to Israel?
Big “what does Ja Rule think of this” energy.
I like caffeine, don’t like coffee.
I mostly drink Pu-Erh, but I got a craving for green tea on my last order and accidentally ordered a way bigger bag than I intended. So I’ve been working through that for a while.
Yup, RTGs are still subject to the second law of thermodynamics.
A degree in audio engineering.
It’s possible and there has been plenty of research done into it, but it’s a hard problem and not just a question of slapping an off-the-shelf EQ on it.
Makes me want to buy some campaign signs…
“Oust RINO Ted Cruz, vote All-Red for senate this November!”
