According to the 13th Amendment:

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Arrest the migrant workers. Funnel them through a for profit prison. Rent the workers to the same farms as slave labor and pocket what would normally have been their wages.

Wish I didn't see this as a highly likely scenario.

With the way this bill is moving through the process, I am surprised we have not heard of any democrats slipping in provisions.

But I guess expecting democrats to do anything resembling opposition is a bit too much to ask for.

Why? Are all Americans going to get health care to make use of that collected health tracking data?

I feel like this is a reaction to Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City Democratic primary for mayor and an attempt to pull support away from AOC's former Chief of Staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, who is already announced his run for Pelosi's seat.

"We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying..."

How has he still not learned that it is Americans and American businesses that pay the tariffs.

I think it was Last Week Tonight that covered Mckinsey's consultation history and, shocker, they almost always recommend increases to executive compensation.

Don't be polite to AI to get on the nice list during the AI uprising. AI doesn't care about our illogical human emotions.

Be nice to AI because it costs the parent company millions in increased electrical fees. It's also good practice for being nice when interacting with anybody on the internet.

First time we left him home alone, after his brother passed. When we left, the window was closed and the screen was properly installed. Still not sure how unlatched the window and slid it open but there he was, just as happy as could be with a "oh good you're home" look on his face.

Sounds like the Somali-American community in Minnesota should look for new leadership.

Almost immediately. My roommates had our computers in the same room and we would regularly comment about the "magic clock" and how only 15 minutes ago it was 3 hours ago. Similarly, the "magic ashtray" that would go from empty to full in the course of 2 cigarettes.
