"The California Catholic Conference opposed the law, arguing the state is “engaging in ideological colonization against states and citizens that do not want abortion.”"
Oh fuck right off. What’s that? You don’t like it when someone has an ideology forced on them?
“He said that she was being transported (to the plane) on the runway, and staff had opened her kennel, and she had escaped into the middle of the runway,”
Apple released a self repair storefront, soon afterwards comes legislation that perfectly mirrors the way they operate their program. AFAIK Apple is still free to keep people from using old parts off eBay and such.
Also you can’t stock parts from what I remember. You need to get the consumer first and only then you can order the parts when the official repair stores have their stock ready to make the 3rd part stores less attractive because of the slowness.
I would think that if they are sent by USPS then the states would not be able to legally intercept them. USPS is not responsible for enforcing state laws and there are some pretty serious laws protecting the privacy and integrity of your parcels and mail.
But importantly, how that money is given is important to the outcome. It looks like lump sums are better than regular payments at creating new enterprise.
It’s interesting, because this is a widely known concept in the finance world. Lump sum investing in the stock market is more profitable than dollar cost averaging that same amount over time ~66% of the time. It seems that holds true in non-stock market investments into people as well. They’re better off getting a lump sum investment into their accounts than having that money DCA’d to them.
The belief that poverty is caused by incompetence, laziness or rogue spending is still very widespread. A lot of aid programs are based on the idea that it takes western wisdom, education and discipline to really lift people out of poverty. Teach farming techniques to people who have been farming that land for generations. Give water saving advice to people who use a tenth of what westerners use. “Teach a man to fish” when that man has been living at the coast for all his life but never been able to afford a fishing boat.
It’s good to see clear evidence that it’s not a lack of education, discipline or intelligence that causes poverty, it’s that the system is rigged and people who start out in poverty can never escape it because you need to have money to make more money.
To be successful in capitalism you need some capital to start with. It's in the damn name. That's why behind every billionaire is a bunch of rich parents who bankrolled them.

I’m not sure how to reach people that believe this. Been dirt poor, now I’m well off. I know what that looks like. One thing is that so many first-world people think they’ve been poor. Well, poor relative to their previous circumstances, poor vs. their parents, etc.
Those sorts never had to steal napkins from McDonalds to wipe their ass. Never fried plain flour with the last of their oil. Never went hunting nuts for food and didn’t have any salt left. Fuck me, my roommate and I were figuring how to steal a duck or goose off the local college campus.
Can’t afford a washing machine? Go to the local laundromat, spend that money. Spend that time. My fridge has an issue with some sort of fan. I have the leisure time and tools to take it apart, figure it out and buy a new fan. If you’re poor? Oh well. Pay someone a load of money. $20 for me, $200 if you’re poor.
tl;dr: We need to be hammering home the fact that being broke is more expensive than having a little folding money. And just like having some money stacks in your favor, having none stacks against you.
Honestly, for me, the best part about this, is how excited the person they were competing against was for them. They didn’t care that they didn’t get it, they were happy for their competitor. That was awesome.
Which is also alarming, depending on the rate they break down plastics and whether they are harmful to humans.
It’s like having a snake problem, releasing mongooses, and suddenly having a mongoose problem
