Without fuses, which are only screwed in just before firing, modern shells are really difficult to set off

Is “Have you had an abortion?” going to be on Texas college application forms?

If so, will there be room for an accompanying essay?

I’m saying for his next disinformation show

Depends on how likely your bank thinks you are to default on your mortgage…

Tell your bank, you’ve lost your job, going to prison, and you’re newly divorced with large alimony payments. /s obviously.

Waitaminit…

If a bank sells a mortgage, there obviously has to be a buyer.

Any buyer who does their due diligence is going to see a mortgage on a commercial office property, and weigh the risks of the borrower defaulting on their mortgage, or the borrower not being able to refinance when the mortgage is due.

So given the current environment for commercial offices, any reasonable buyer is going to offer to buy commercial office mortgages at a discount, maybe even at a significant discount, which likely means a financial loss for the bank anyway.

So what’s the difference if the bank holds on to the mortgage, and if the borrower defaults, then seizing the building, i.e. the real asset, and auctioning it off for whatever it can get?

Wouldn’t the loss on a mortgage default and asset seizure, likely the be about same as the loss as selling to a prospective buyer for the mortgage, a buyer who had properly calculated a discount for the risk into their purchase price?

That is highly likely what Jones will do, unfortunately.

As well as hide his income behind all kinds of shell corporations

Sorry Abe, the modern Republican Party is not in your image…

US courts can still try him in absentia, i.e. if he’s not present in the courtroom.

If he’s in a country with an extradition treaty with the US, e.g. the UK, he can be extradited to the US for the trial or with a conviction.

The official reason for the introduction of the six-day work week is that there is a shortage of skilled workers on the Greek labor market as the population keeps shrinking and the country losing scores of thousands of workers who fled during the economic and austerity crisis in search of jobs in other countries.

So “The austerity and beatings will continue until morale improves.”

I’ve been saying this for years: The US economy is not “growing” not because we’re making more and better products, but because we’re commercializing social support systems that we used to get at low cost, or for free, from our families, relatives and neighbors: Health care, child care elder care, live-at-home spouses and homemakers, even talking with your neighbors and friends has been replaced with social media.

The cost of birthing and raising a child is even commodified in the health care system.

Is it any wonder why wealthy countries’ birthrates are falling? Asides from environmental factors, like microplastics and climate change.

That’s not productivity growth and making lives better for everyone.

It’s making the production of wealth increasingly meaningless for the average person.

It’s mining social and middle class wealth into the pockets of the wealthy elite and non-human corporations.

But what happens when the wealth in the mines is all gone?

Don’t blame the writers, some of whom are long dead, and some titles are long out of print.

Might also be a sign of a stalemate this is in this area.

Or maybe reduce gun ownership in the US, so that it’s less likely that people falling into despair attempt suicide by cop?

Another opinion from a random pro-Russian idiot’s website.

What is going on with the tankies posting here today?

I was thinking the 72 days they had that fillibuster-proof Senate majority during the Obama presidency.

Since the Comstock Act would have been obsolete at the time, before Roe v Wade was overturned, it should have been a formality.

But… Democrats…

What is this?

Shit News Source Day?

BOO!!! A pro-Russia channel. Massive tankie comments.

Shoulda done that when you had control of both houses of Congress and the presidency…

Excessive heat and related stress has unpleasant and sometimes deadly effects on human physiology.

Even affecting brain function.

Panting is one way of shedding excess heat, but if it’s so hot that even panting doesn’t work…

How about Fox News, Newsmax, OANN, and Infowars while we’re at it?
