I'm so not looking forward to November's elections.

Regardless of all that, it still would be a victory for the integrity of the legal system and the people to see Orange Man in an orange jumper on the front page news.

I can't count the number of times l have had to wait 30 effing days to get my refund for a cancelled work flight that I paid for and couldn't get reimbursed for. Sometimes I needed it for bills, it sucked.

Welcome change indeed.

Let's see, first there was complaints on Truth Social about not being able to dismiss an unlimited number of jurors without reason for dismissal:

Then just hours ago the DA asked the Judge to hold him in contempt for poor remarks regarding potential jurors:

Then there's the mountains of previous trial evidence showing the same acts of slowing down the judicial process, which simply eludes anyone to the same conclusion I gave: It's a delay tactic.

Multiple sites show it left leaning in bias, but mostly factual/reliable at 82%, with only a small amount of falsities.

Sounds oddly like Brownshirts authoritarian powers.

Albertsons and Kroger have been doing this everywhere and Kroger has their eye on acquiring Albertsons as a result.

If successful, a joint merger between Albertsons and Kroger would monopolize Grocery stores and they do NOT result in lower prices in any way shape or form. Proven fact (see Albertsons acquisition of VONS etc).

The government needs to get their anti-monopoly crap together and stop this madness.

Regulation is in the Public's Interest. Sure, you may see it as a Government revenue stream, but it has merit. Regulating industries results in:

  • Better, quality products
  • Preventing price fixing and monopolies
  • Promoting growth and innovation without fear of competitive retaliation
  • To ensure the true costs and benefits are reflected in the market

TL;DR: We wouldn't want the marijuana mafia price fixing our weed man.
