Yes and no. Crypto platforms are increasingly trying to operate like banks. Sure people may not think their bitcoin investment is a safe asset but they may think any uninvested cash they have in the app or invested in stable coins is safe.
You’re right, there are better ways. Not allowing camps in flood zones to begin with should be step #1 before worrying about how to best prepare for them.
A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.
Members of Congress should be on the streets of DC—where many of them live! —putting their bodies between these law-abiding citizens and ICE. Congress should be demanding names, and promising ICE will be prosecuted when US democracy is re-established.
New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.
Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”
Why aren’t they reasonable? In a flood I would prefer to be on the roof rather than on the ground. And I would like to have reliable internet connection to find out about it in advance and be able to communicate with the outside world.
True. It was originally Biden’s plan and it had some good ideas but at the same time housing is a local issue so hard to run on it on a federal level. Almost impossible to access the impact it would have on San Francisco rents for example.
No though I do think Singapore might have a jet at the same base. Worth noting that last month Trump issued an executive order saying that US will fully use its military to help defend Qatar if anyone attacks it.
The industrial military complex. It’s a training facility to teach Qatari pilots to fly American jets, which will facilitate the sale of American jets to Qatar.
Similarly, Sanders and AOC have been filling arenas in red areas. They’ve also been very clear on what they stand for without saying that they don’t need votes from a basket of deplorables.
If you look at someone like Mamdani, his election campaign has been very strong because he is very clear on what he stands for and how he’s not willing to compromise on that. At the same time, his sales pitch is targeted at everyone even though he knows there are people who will never vote for him.
Saying I will create a better life for everyone in the state isn’t really coddling anyone. Coddling would be giving up on your principles and leaning into Republican policies which is not at all what I’m suggesting.
