I wonder if the Senate will do the whole trial part and make the House GOP present what they think is evidence?

That's what I was thinking... Here come the bots

Fox "News" doesn't even have to roll out the ever terrifying "migrant caravan" this election season.

I'm sure government agencies buy commercially available products all the time. The problem is that we are no longer just consumers in the market, we are also unwillingly the product.

I think it was in Texas from what I heard from the rumor mill. The article is in the guardian which is UK based so they put the exchange rate in for the $15 in £ so the UK folks had a frame of reference

I guess there is good and bad with either style. I generally prefer the self checkout because I can bag my own stuff

True. I remember thinking it was a load of crap, but it certainly got the message across that I'd be alone and out of a job if I tried to form a union.

I remember reading The Jungle in college and getting a much different perspective of labor laws and union value

Depending on where you lived you were plied with anti-union rhetoric. I remember back in the '80s and working at a department store and they had us watch "training" videos about how we were a big family and how unions broke up that family and made us adversaries. I thought it was a bunch of bull, but I'm sure there were plenty of folks that bought into it.

The phone companies have been selling our data for their own profit for years now. We are not just the consumers anymore, we are also the product

I am realistic enough to know that if a cease fire was established it would likely not last long.

Medicaid programs are mostly controlled by the individual states and not the federal government. Here they are blaming Biden when it is the state governors that are causing the problem. No doubt if Biden did something, they would have just written an article blaming him for federal overreach.
