I was told to check out a couple with a big purchase (worth around $1600). It was just candies, drinks, and big and small items. They paid with their Best Buy credit card and said I did good at my job…
A few seconds later, a supervisor asked me “Did they pay for it?” I said yes. “Did you check their ID?” … “You were supposed to check their ID before they made the purchase.” My heart sank; I was crying mentally. When I first started, I was never told to ask for people’s ID when paying with the Best Buy card. I asked “I’m fired, aren’t I?” And I got a response “No, you’ll just be super poor.” It was around a $1600 purchase and heard it’s a 3 months salary…

In addition to a $1 million dollar fine, individuals could face the same amount of jail time as set out by the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 – for those without an encyclopedic knowledge of the US statute books, that means incarceration for up to 20 years.
For companies found to be in breach, the fiscal penalty is even more severe, with fines of up to $100 million together with the forfeiture of any Federal licenses or contracts.

you overestimate americans, namely the conservative ones. they are very keen to obey authority figures like trump and elon and will eagerly suffer hardships to please them. some of them find comfort in "he said things will get better" while others find joy that people they dislike are suffering too

which to people right now, they are
No.244239
they're doing a bunch of fuckery in government and boasting it to their supporters who cheer for them uprooting the 'corruption' and corruption
No.244240
because the truth is the american system is very inefficient and the government for a long while now has been blatantly ignoring people's grumblings over that inefficiency and lack of action
No.244241
so this honeymoon phase will last for a bit while they seem like they are actually doing something in the government that the people just don't understand, but they think things will get better
No.244242
however if they don't get better by next year, things will become much more difficult for trump when people elect democrats in droves

No.246724
I think what people don't realize is that the entire reason that Trump won was not a result of people being fanatically in love with him, but rather it was a complete rejection of the status quo and progressive identity politics alongside economic woes. The Democrats ran potentially the worst campaign possible with a completely uncharismatic and stupid fucking retard candidate.
No.246732
All throughout their message was "Joy! Yay!", and completely ignoring the cries of people to do something about their unease about the current state of the country. Alienating massive amounts of voters, and the only reason they were even able to come close to contending with Trump in the first place is because they ran a (albeit somewhat justified) scare campaign saying that voting for the other side
No.246733
would be worse.
No.246734
And people fucking hated Trump.

yeah basically, think we've talked and agreed about this before

No.246777
democrats don't have the money or influence to defend against a popular movement supporting them, but the mechanisms to let them thrive in a right wing dominated environment are not there. Unless there's a resurgence of socalist views like there were in the 1900s and they don't get mogged by police it's not going to get all that much better.

that's the line of thinking that gets you to that point

the baggage most absolutely does matter because, at least from what i've noticed, it seems like it's much more likely for people to support a bumbling fool than someone who said something particularly opposed to one's values

which is why social progressivism has been such a cancer on the left

bernie has a fair bit of baggage himself

you shouldn't be thinking about what democrats can do to win over the people around you... if that's your baseline of success... it should be based around what you'd feel good about advocating for

No.246805
so if you think their baggage is noteworthy then that's all that matters
No.246806
I think you're probably more correct
No.246807
it would be better to consider yourself the sane one
No.246808
the baggage is only so noteworthy because they have abhorrent messaging

I mean, what's the last thing really solid that sticks out about the democrats?
No.246811
they hated and opposed trump
No.246812
and then their response to his being elected was to say they needed more trans people leading federal agencies and we need to recognize indian land
No.246813
at least bernie's been putting out constant anti-corporate pro-consumer material
No.246814
basically it.
https://x.com/Tablesalt13/status/1892234753920598485 Trudeau says "we're going to build a super expensive transportation network between our two major cities" to get more people in our most populated and most cruicial voting areas hyped.

No.251171

No.251172
The answer provided by Nathan Myers is spot on, but a significant element of the question has not been touched upon. As a thumbsuck, the odds of a AA+ client defaulting within the next year would be at worst about 6,000 to 1, while the AAA client would be even better at over 8,000 to 1 with no upper limit. In other words, AA+ is very low risk, but AAA is squeaky squeaky clean.
As a general rule, at least for assessing most of the grades AA+ and below, the default odds reduce about every second grade (the skip from AA+ through AA to AA- is two grades). Thus, AA- would be 3,000/1, A 1,500/1, and so on down to C- where the odds are about 2/1. The grades have not been constructed that way, but rather it is more an inherent statistical property resulting from the nature of most true/false outcomes.
Further, one might ask why the rating agencies stop there, i.e. why not provide even more accuracy than the 21 or so non-default grades provided like the credit bureaux. For all intents and purposes, any further accuracy provides a false sense of accuracy. If there is a doubling of odds every 30 points, there is little true distinction within say a 10 to 15 point range. The results make more sense when provided as grades or ranges.
No.251173
a debt default would send the US in a BB credit rating at best
No.251174
technically default puts you at the absolute worst rating, but it's the US so it can get away with some ownership over international credit mechanisms..

I would say that the US government or states try to enforce moral views and they aren't acting from an ethical framework. Like prohibition is based around the view that a choice someone makes is bad. And from this people who do not believe in he moral idea rebel strongly. And in Canada such a thing can not happen because an ethical framework that bans alcohol would go against any sort of logic... we can afford to do this because we are a very urban country where our neighbors are only a few meters away
No.253872
so we ban guns on the basis of "if one person has a gun they could kill everyone around me quickly" instead of "if one person has a gun they could kill me"

but this is where provincial rules come into play... where you can own guns in some places but not others

also the way twitter is designed makes the UI wonky in fast paced conversations. the average person probably follows like 100 people / entities and they have like 200 mil DAU so the load would be exponential if everyone did select * from tweet_table where sender_id in ( .., .. , .. ) ... so what they do is when you send a tweet, it gets fanned out to all your followers timeline, but, there

If you want self-sufficiency, you have to recognize the baseline that the US is at and where you want to be. The US probably has a level of industrial capacity more or less equivalent to China in the 1980s. The only things of note we produce are cars, military equipment, and planes. The only remaining things are things that are so low value, it doesn't make sense to outsource, like toilet paper or cereal, or metal blinds. To get where China is would genuinely
No.270028
require 50 years of concerted industrial policy and centralized economic planning, and instead we have the exact opposite.
