Yeah, they're both pieces of shit but Trump is fundamentally pretty lazy... remember when he rode around in a golf cart when he met with the G7 and they walked through Sicily?
Musk is doing a great job of taking the flak for super unpopular shit that Trump wants to do, AND he seems like he's actually motivated to put in the work.
Municipal worker just means you work for a municipality (i.e. a city/town that has its own local government). Waste management, city hall workers, people that maintain local parks etc could all be municipal workers.
You could call them wastefighters?
And Gen X gets completely forgotten, as usual.
A lot of Japanese bidets have a water AND seat heating feature, no need for hot water hookup. I know it seems expensive but it's very well-made and I'm very happy with mine.
Have you eaten any fruit off your yuzu yet? It's about the only edible citrus I can grow outdoors in my area. I've thought about giving it a shot, but I'm also not psyched about the idea of spending years growing a tree just to realize I don't like the fruit! I used to live in Japan, really should have tried it while I was there. Much harder to find in America I think.
I also have an Apple TV and like it a lot. It's the only Apple device I use regularly, I'm definitely not an Apple fanboy, just heard that run well and there was a specific app they support that I wanted so I went with that. Only thing I dislike is the remote. God that touch pad thing is awful. My wife says she thinks it's because my hands are big, but idk. But other than that, great experiences with it overall.
And do what exactly? Having militaries intervene on political processes doesn't have the best history of turning out well.
China ranks second in the world in human population, too.
Old Bedbug Bret Stephens at it again!
Unless I misinterpreted your argument, it seemed like you were justifying this practice based on the fact that other animals besides us inflict pain and suffering on other animals. If that is the core argument, then to be logically consistent, you'd have to also be ok with us doing everything else I mentioned.
Animals also rape each other (and sometimes other species), kill the children of other fathers, urinate and shit wherever they want... To be logically consistent, you're also arguing that all of those things are fine for us to do too.
Unfortunately, the problem is that the Americans who think America is better than everyone else and are always shouting it from the rooftops, are also mostly the people who think Trump is great and will approve of just about anything he does uncritically.
A lot of us are super fucking embarrassed about the way our country behaves and vote against it every time we can, it's just unfortunately a very difficult battle and the way our elections works makes it a bit easier for Republicans to win at the national scale, generally.
