In reality, it was not even about states' rights. The South was pissed that the North was not helping them catch fugitive slaves that went to free states. The CSA also did not allow their states to outlaw slavery.
He invaded in 2014. He wants nothing but war. If he didn't, leaving Crimea would have been on the table. It never was. Don't kid yourself. Putin loves dead Russians to feed to the meat grinder.
Ukraine is a democracy so your entire premise is way off. Try again. Russia, however, is a fascist dictatorship and Portion has put many Nazis into power on occupied territories.
Sure. Just like when the US flooded Tejas with Americans and then the US helped liberate Texas from Mexico. Liberation through imperialism is not real liberation. Don't be so naive.
Leading up to? Cherry picking a small time period is not a good look. Decades of Russification and displacing Crimean Tatars (and straight up starving them) damn near eliminated them from the peninsula for years. In 1989 Crimean Tatars made up 1.6% of the population compared with a third 50 years prior. After a couple decades with Ukraine, about 11% of the peninsula are Tatars now.
Are a couple hundred thousand dead Russians not enough for Putin? Does he get off on more dead Russians? He needs to stop the death of Russians by getting them out of Ukrainian territory.
They should also sue the school to make sure they remove any books with heterosexual parents or any book talking about liking the opposite sex or books where someone discusses their gender.

Many are discounting their cars quite a bit, especially leases. My state added in an instant rebate that brings down some bz4x trims to $60/month for the years. That would actually pay for itself with gas savings.
Apartment charging is still an issue that needs to be solved. But home rental shouldn't be much of an issue if there is an outdoor outlet. Charging at level 1 will get you between 3-5 miles per hour of charge which will top 50-80% of people up overnight.
this action was performed manualy. I am NOT a bot.
That's just what a bot would say.
In the largest metro area, New York, the typical monthly cost of child care for two children is $2,634 while the typical monthly housing cost is $2,451, according to the Economic Policy Institute’s Family Budget Calculator, which estimates the typical costs for a modest standard of living around the country.
I'm going to guess this is for all ages. Children not in school are going to cost considerable more. Here in Seattle two kids under 5 will easily cost you $5k/month.
Most gas stations do not even really make much money on the gas. They more operate as convenience stores but offer gas too. The need for convenience stores won't change much around freeway exits. You will still need to charge going long distances and stop for a toilet break and snacks. But a good amount will close in cities. Over half the people will not need to be going to a charging station 99.5% of the time. People in apartments will likely still need to do fast charging for a while until apartment complexes are properly incentivized to install chargers.
I feel like people overestimate how much they actually drive most days and think that a simple level 1 charger could not possibly work for them. The average person drives a little over 30 miles per day. I know there are a myriad of people who will say they totally drive way more than that and their commute is more than that. K. A level 1 charger will charge a car 3-5 miles of range per hour it is plugged in. Overnight that is likely around 30-50 miles of range. That is kind of the idea behind this and the creator even said he made this because he lost a bet (almost certainly a lie but it gets the point across) where he was bet that he could easily go 6 months charging on a level 1 charger without having to visit a fast charge station (ignoring long weekend outings). The vast priory of people would only need to visit a fast charger once in a blue moon.
Sure, if you are the 1% of people having some crazy commute of 50+ miles, invest in a level two charger. And then with the money you are saving by not spending so much on gas, move closer to your work. But damn near everyone will be perfectly fine with simple level 1 charging. No need to spend a couple thousand to get a 240v line run. Plug it into an exterior outlet and call it a day. If you're in an apartment, send your landlord information on this. And in the meantime, charge up at fast charge stations once every few weeks.
That always happens with tariffs unless they are small. You ship the unfinished product somewhere else to be assembled. Sometimes it even makes more sense to ship a finalized product somewhere to then disassemble it and reassemble it in the same factory.

Did you even read the article? She accidentally drove the wrong way in a bus lane. Her son was still in the car. The police officer freaked out and instead of calmly talking to her, they called backup and the officer who came freaked out even worse and slammed her to the ground on an ant hill and then ignored her saying that ants were boring her face. You don't see any point where this could have been avoided?
No. So many people misunderstand that. No, it does not simply mean you automatically sacrifice longterm profits. Fiduciary responsibility is pretty widely open to interpretation because shareholders overall can want different things. Some stocks barely budge in price but the board gives good dividends. Some companies make no profit for years upon years because they are pushing for growth. Just chalking this up to fiduciary responsibility is misguided and misses many big reasons why many boards choose short term profits while sacrificing longterm sustainability. Many get most of their earnings in stock. As long as they can keep the share price up long enough for them to make bank, they have little care about the longterm health of the company. This is one of the reasons that stock buybacks have been so big over the last decade.

Just a reminder that Biden could have easily had him replaced by now. The nine board of governors vote on the Postmaster General and no more than five can be from the same party. Currently there are two vacancies. The make up of the governors is 3 Republicans, 3 Democrats, and 1 independent. The last governor that was appointed by Biden was a Republican about two years ago. He can easily appoint two Democrats right now and get DeJoy booted. It is insane that he has not.
