Eh this argues that we even have a democracy that is functional enough to undermine in the first place, and I reject that premise.

Been getting that lately after successfully avoiding it for a bit. Just not gonna use it directly anymore.

I appreciate the work they do to cut through the mandatory pro-Israel dialogue in the states. “Not in our name!” ❤️

They are doing that. They are bombing an area after making it impossible for people to evacuate by giving an impossible deadline. They are bombing the areas people are told to take on the way to evacuate. The people they are bombing have no defenses or way to escape. Israel’s own government officials have referred to Palestinians as animals and said there are no innocents among them. That’s what genocide looks like before having the benefit of hindsight.

Even if Dems wanted to help sincerely, why would they aid a party whose platform is to harass the shit out of everyone else. Nevermind the fact that the staffers are probably still dealing with the fear from Jan 6 in therapy; helping get Jim Jordan up of all people is voting for a dude who indirectly tried to kill you. The idea of even asking for that is so weird to me.

must've ran out of spaghetti to throw at the wall, and this is what is left.

Even if it’s not as cold, going from 120 for weeks to 80 suddenly makes me feel like I’m fucking freezing all the time.

Disaster capitalism at work.

The thing is you're equivocating something potentially dangerous that you could easily look up instead.

Use your ip address or GPS location or address to get your location and use a sales tax api product like: https://www.avalara.com/us/en/products/integrations/avalara-api.html

Not an endorsement, just an example that companies already consider this.

Because they're a non-profit, their tax forms are publicly available. These forms are called 990s. This is why many people are responding as though they're very annoyed with your perspective, because the evidence is free and public by law.

"Established by an act" doesn't mean the same thing as "maintained by Congress." If your argument were true, NPR wouldn't be able to operate during government shutdowns, since they'd be federal employees. Given they reported during previous shutdowns, that indicates to me that they're not run by Congress.
