Isn't this from the Trump campaign's vetting document?

My brother is conservative in a very ignorant way. He knows basically nothing about politics, has never voted, but likes Trump for reasons he cannot really express.

When I talk to him about politics, he agrees with basically everything I say. He agrees with taxing rich and corporations and redistributing it, universal health care, prison abolition, etc. His opposition to left leaning politics is basically entirely about it not being his team. He's a country boy who likes pickup trucks and he thinks cities are weird and scary and therefore he's conservative.

I think there's a lot of conservatives like that.

Who said they want to control everything you do? We're talking about sports gambling

I think we have a fundamental disagreement with the way society should be. I want to protect people from predatory companies and won't elevate the individual rights of people to gamble over the welfare of all.

They would have to have a lot of switches and network wires connecting them and systems to monitor them. Even then, I doubt this draw would be enough to signal to them that it's a problem. Probably not drawing more than a stove on the cleaning cycle, far below a level that would say, "This area is drawing too much power".

"Everyone person should have the right to make a bad deal for themselves" is the logic of the Lochner court decisions. They said the government shouldn't stop anyone who chooses to work in a hazardous workplace, or sign a contract that says you won't join a union or choose to put their 12 year old children to work in mines.

Our laws have to protect people, otherwise we're just doing libertarianism.

Yeah, it was just Kia cheaping out by not having an immobilizer. They saved at the very most $100 a car(probably more like $40) by skipping a basic security feature invented in 1985.

“We’re committed to supporting the legal cannabis market in California,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement.

It's about protecting the mega cannabis companies who can't seem to turn a profit on weed.

I thought everyone did it.

Even fairly small pools have thousands of gallons of water, a full bladder holds about 2 cups. You'd have to have 80 people empty full bladders in a 3900 gallon pool(a 12' round above ground pool) just to get to .25% piss.
