"We're experiencing unprecedented supply chain issues and shelves are bare across the country. We should double-down on enforcing a vaccine mandate that is completely inneffective at stopping the spread of the disease it's designed to prevent, by further restricting the movement of essential goods."

Yes, I'm sure that's the right idea.

Ah, the old replace the content of an unrelated bill with controversial stuff to hide it gambit.

Hmm, a couple of thoughts on this:

Recently the CCP has decided that Globalism is no longer in its strategic interest, and is refocusing its energies inward, and hardening its borders...This means no more cheap goods cheaply carried across the oceans for your amusement. This means NO GOODS in many categories as YOU don’t know how to MAKE THEM.

What is the source of this assertion? China's economy is built on selling shit to the US and Europe, what are they planning to replace all their customers with?

There's plenty of other cheap labor. It is actually within the US's interest to shift overseas production to places like SE Asia and untapped markets like Africa. Goods may not be quite as cheap, but it will be worth it to cut off the flow of money to China.

It says "satire/parody" in the header info after her pronouns. There's a couple of other threads about this on .win and others have found reference to Poe's Law in her posts as well.

I wonder what the point it is in making it that small. Ketchup isn't exactly breaking the bank, so I can't see a consumer choosing to but this over a normal sized bottle that probably only costs $0.50 more.

This. People love to rag on USPS, but it's a Constitutionally-directed responsibility of the federal government.

Their hands are tied behind their back because Congress turned it into a quasi-corporate entity expected to self-fund, but with the government directly restricting their ability to function as a business.

IDGAF if the Postal Service earns a single dollar; the federal government has to deliver the mail by law. Nobody asks other government agencies to pay for their own operations. Maybe if Congress figured this out, and actually appropriated money for USPS, this wouldn't be a problem.

So, the same as everyone else? Anyone who says they haven't told a racist or homophobic joke is a liar.

I've seen discovery requests. They typically say "responsive documents include, but are not limited to, any and all emails, calender entries, notes, etc, etc. related to Subject X". And then they want a log of everything you exclude with identifying details of the document and the reason it was excluded.

Now, you can sort through all of your employees emails and log all the irrelevant ones and then risk the other side complaining that you withheld something relevant, or you can do a dump of everything and let them sort it out. It's more defensible and a hell of a lot easier to do the latter- remember, you don't get reimbursed for the time it takes responding to the other side's discovery requests.

This is a nuisance lawsuit that legally should have been barred by the PLCAA, except the "scummy lawyers" for the plaintiff made up a bullshit story that they can prove Remington deliberately marketed their guns to attract the shooter. (Doubly ridiculous as the shooter didn't buy the gun, but stole it fr his mom)

Firearm makers are the only business that a court would even consider holding responsible for the criminal misuse of their product, as the concept is laughable and it's only allowed at all because people like you think gun makers are evil.

I support Remington making it as painful and costly as possible for these plaintiffs, as that was their only reason for bringing suit against Remington.
