They can. The issue is people want everything to be federal and ignore their own state. Most Americans can’t even tell you what the first article of their own state’s constitution is about. Or their own state house rep.

The elderly population has greater healthcare spending per cap than the 20-30 year old population. Getting old sucks.

The conservatives justices (if you buy into the whole conservative/liberal justices thing) would 100% be eager to up hold a state healthcare law if it meant getting to strike down Wickard v. Filburn and allocating more power to the states.

But thanks for being at least one person in this thread who appreciates that Medicare and Medicaid are not synonyms.

Assuming you’re from Canada based on the .CA and says provinces (vs oblasts, cantons, or some other regional division), I would point at the interprovincial trade barriers.

You realize that between the states the US has all of those?

They can think what they want. Being wrong is a them problem.

All liberty is guarded by four boxes. The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box. They are in order.

Political violence is largely a terrible idea that results in continued suffering or retribution. People online flock to it as a remedy and often aren’t fully aware of the structure of their local government. The best means of change are by convincing locals of a better alternative that is amiable to all parties. Online activism has a broader net but ultimately reaches less people in positions likely to be able to remedy local matters. Carrot beats stick.

Dude touch grass if someone wants to post cringe that’s on them but responding to every one of their comments is just harassment.

One day the mountains will crumble to the sea. Just as one day we will all be forgotten to history, and in that it is inalienable. The only question is if that’s something you would want or not.

Good on OP for seeking challenges to their existing view points and being open to changing them upon compelling enough thoughts. In a genuine way no less.

There’s a clearly distinguishable line between acknowledging existing legislation and producing value judgements on politicians.

Off the top of my head the only European food product I consistently buy is Kerrygold butter. But I could use a domestic version. Other than that I’ll on rare occasion buy a wine that’ll be from Italy or France rather than a domestic.

The only international foods that really make up any significant part of my grocery list are fruits from the tropics.

Don’t buy land with an easement you don’t want on it. You can tell the seller to talk to the company and have them negotiate the removal of the easement as a condition of sale. They might be willing to buy back the mineral rights.

But barring that if this is a non-negotiable for you don’t buy it.

Because eggs are seen as a very reasonable weekly purchase that a consumer can see a price delta in over a short period of time.

Your question asks more about the person answering than any country. What is and isn’t a human right is debated matter many agreed upon but others are seen as archaic or political posturing. Are we talking positive and negative rights? Freedom of Contract? Right to Healthcare? A right to jury trials in civil cases? A right to selfdefense? The right to speak freely even unsavory words?

Then you’d have to weigh one right against another. Finally you’d have to figure out if those rights are simply paper promises.

Adultery is still a crime in some places. Make sure yours isn’t one of them. I’d say just in general CYOA this reeks of ending poorly.

It depends. Look at the usage license for the font you’d like to reproduce. It may be published with a very liberal license that allows reproduction. You can always ask for permission.

Realistically if we accept the idea of Canada joining the US they’d likely join as their current provinces (then states).

This would allow Canadians to have a voice in US elections which currently have large political implications for the nation.

I don’t see Quebec joining the US. Current Canadian law grants them protections the US wouldn’t be willing to match. They’d likely become independent.

Despite Canadian identity being based on not being Americans there are large cultural similarities (given English structural roots).

If it were to occur Canada would likely get some consideration like the preservation of their healthcare system (a point of national pride) and a period for other states to join in on it.

The US would be more blue politically but I would expect catering to northern provinces given they’d have disproportionately high representation.

They mandate trigger warnings for pictures of cheese.

Base line Lemmy has a left skew. Hexbear people are the basis for probably a quarter of conservatives talking points.
