The times I’ve been caught in an airport brouhaha, you know what happened? They called out the National Guard.
Maybe that’s the end game here?

Other way around here… no taxation without representation. If they’ve shut everything down, they’re not representing their constituents, so there should be no tariffs/taxation until they come to an agreement.
Well, that assumes “organized gang” and “ICE” are mutually exclusive….
Religion has to do with habits and practices. So someone can brush their teeth religiously.
Christianity is a religion, but it’s also a faith-based belief system that incorporates alternate planes of existence. Some people eschew the religion part but still have the belief system, and some people play inside the religion without actually believing in the spiritual side of things.
I like to explain Christianity as the belief in a multidimensional being who defines the dimensions we can observe and has done a bit of mucking around in a way that was measurable by us. Angelic appearances? Most would call them aliens, as they’d be extra terrestrial intelligences. Spiritual possession? A different dimension that has an effect on the ones we inhabit, but is currently beyond our capacity to fully understand.
The Chinese ambassador says trade is set to treble, so we’ll be seeing a lot more of these shipments.
Land ownership is already a fiction in Canada.
If I buy a book, it’s mine to do what I want with, for as long as I want.
If I buy real estate, the government still gets to say what I do on/with it, and can take it away if they decide they really want it, or if I stop paying them property taxes. That doesn’t sound like ownership; it sounds like a rental agreement.
Next up: no more license plates for their cars, and all the windows can be tinted.
Why am I getting the correct headline but a totally different article at that link?
It goes right into:
GOPer Joins Dems in Calling Out Trump Over Lack of Boat Strike Info
Tricky chicken/egg problem, compounded by people like me who do their own bike repair.
The writing was on the wall when Serif sold the product to Canva. We already knew Canva used a rent seeking model at the corporate level, so it didn’t really matter what promises they made about what they’d do with Affinity.
This frustrates me so much.
I paid for v1 and v2 of the suite precisely because I’m willing to pay for a tool that works for me, predictably and reliably and with no compromise in goals. Now I’ll have to switch platforms yet again, because they’re going to monetize somehow, and if it’s not by taking my money, it’ll be by taking something else.
Is Inkscape a reasonable replacement for Illustrator yet? Is there an equivalent for InDesign?
I don’t want to get stuck in a Canvas walled garden, and I’m not going to pay rent to use software.
I bought my first home when I was 42. I started saving up for it when I was 25. Nice to see the average is catching up.
Eventually the average will be so high that something will finally break, as only the privileged few who inherit will own land.
