USDA agrees to follow the law after a court told them to follow the law.

Although those parts are removed, some anti-discrimination rules against dead naming are still included.

This bill obviously worse in its current form, it is still positive for Coloradans, though not quite as much as it could be.

Should it pass into law, the bill would still protect transgender people from being misgendered or deadnamed, or referred to by the name they used before they transitioned, in discrimination laws for places like work and school. It would also enact shield-law protections for Coloradans against other states’ anti-transgender policies, and it would make changes to policies for name alterations on marriage certificates and gender markers on driver’s licenses.

This is wonderful news!

Washington as a whole is a very blue state, with strong protections for LGBTQIA+ people, it’s not uniform.

West of the Cascade Mountains, is very green, very urban, very wet, and predominantly liberal in politics. East if the Cascades is the opposite, mostly brown, sparely populated, dry, agricultural areas that lean conservative.

This is a much bigger deal than you would reasonably think hearing of a very trans accepting city in WA. Spokane is the biggest city in eastern Washington. It is in some of the reddest parts of the state, only 20 miles from the border to the Idaho panhandle, you know, the part known for having a disproportionate number of neonazis.

and what circumstances caused them to abandon that village?

My teachers tried to made me cis. It was harmful.

You’re the one who missed the point.

Landlords and the system that treats housing as a profitable investment is the cause of high costs of living. This happens everywhere in the US. Cities where people want to live in the reddest of the red states have the exact same cost of living problems. Its a fundamental problem that is inherent to for-profit real estate.

Neither party wants to dismantle that system. Your solution is not a solution. High cost of living cannot be solved by switching to the other current political party.

I expect the new models to be harmful to sales.

Because tesla rarely makes changes to their cars year over year, you can buy a tesla now and have one that looks like you bought it before elon publicly went off the deep end. There’s still plausible deniability with most of their models.

But now, anyone buying a model Y is getting a car that obviously could only have been purchased during trump’s second term. There’s no plausible deniability. The distinctive front and rear light bars scream:

“I chose to buy this car after watching the CEO do the nazi salute twice on national television.”

are republicans promising to abolish landlords now?

Both the 737 and a320 have wait lists at least a decade long. Small jets are popular. This is why few airlines canceled orders in response to the max crashes. Airlines need to keep buying new planes to maintain their fleets, so moving from the front of boeing’s queue to the back of airbus’s is not a viable strategy.

Comac’s C919 went into service in 2023. It is certified by chinese authorities for service in china, but comac is working on getting approval from easa to operate in europe.

Switching to comac would mean getting in the front of the line for the new plane. And aircraft makers often give very favorable deals to launch customers who order large numbers.

And ryanair will be ordering many planes because most of budget airline’s savings come from only operating a single aircraft type. Buying comac would mean replacing their entire fleet.

TIL every year with a rent increase is a recession. Whenever housing prices increase faster than income that’s a recession. When college tuition goes up faster than incomes that’s a recession.

i don’t work for the state department

DD–YYYY-MM

the compromise that upsets everyone!

im delighted to see this undeleted. <3 I particularly like the way you depict dysphoria visually, it really shows the feels accurately.

im sorry you have days like this (sympathy, not an admission of fault) please accept this virtual hug if its of help to you.

It was a campaign to stop a genocide. Harris chose to throw her campaign instead of winning votes.

Tire wear is proportional to vehicle mileage and weight. A tire tax would effectively do the same thing while being easier to implement.

Incentivizes not replacing tires which is bad for safety and all.

Could it be a regional thing? Tabling a bill means the literal opposite depending on the legislative structure.

Actual engineer: the glass requires a 2.0 factor of safety.

That’s what’s being suggested here. The right wing site only lists businesses that chose to list themselves. I don’t think the site even had reviews.

carpet mold?

Please don’t eat ice cream in bed its a nightmare to clean the spills
