Republicans and Dems post Reagan run up until the Trump era on essentially the same economic platforms, with a veiled mask of culture war issues to give you the illusion of choice.

very stupidpol of you

Don't care. He's 1 of 2 and Cruz would provide balance. You unseated a good senator and replaced him with an accused felon, pedophile enabling, yes man hated by his own party in his own state. Wait that's not true. Paxton was raised in California. You deserve to lose that seat.
The texas GOP could use a few Ls. Paxton and Dan Patrick both suck. Patrick plays to the worst of the baptist consertives while Paxton is just a crook

When you get up in the morning you put on a collared shirt.
geniuenly why? modern golf polos are just athleisure with a collar on it, maybe instead of a plane shirt they have some stupid design on it
Much like diet coke, i have never seen a fit person with robust rhoback wardrobe

you can do better than that

this collared shirt rule is dumb because a fit person wearing a plain, fitted, uncollared shirt will look better than a fat person wearing an oversized polo from Sams

found myself almost jealous of all wierdos that traded feathers. Such a bizarre hobby

This is who wants to get rid of city park
quote:
Those are two separate transactions.
To undo it, the feds are reimbursing the companies (who actually paid the tariffs).
Then the company is responsible for refunding the customer.
**You get your refund back from the entity you gave the money to.**
in many cases there are multiple transactions that that tariffs were passed thru
i sold 70k worth of product that had tarrifs on it to a competitor whos customer needed ASAP to fill an order to small mom&pop shop so they came to us
our supplier is wholesale division in NA of european company so they paid their parent company tarrifs on importing it, passed it to us, i passed it to the competitor, they passed it to the customer, and ultimentaly the end user paid it
so in cases like that the end user going to be fricked. He is going to have to go thru several layers of beaucracy, including two companies that have upper management that have tense relationship
What is going to happen is companies are going to park the refund checks for a peroid of time and see who comes knocking for the refund. Probably make the claim process annoying enough that the majority of people just say screw it.
in the end it will be another massive hand out to corporations

I have seen several companies saying a portion of the refunds will be used to keep prices lower

The school I worked at, first bus stop was 5:55, school opens at 7:15. That’s not happening with Day light saving time in the winter. If this passes, schools will be pushing their start times back
Would line up better with their circadian rhythm if they pushed it back
quote:
I predict it's going to stay that way and I can assure you I'm not the ignorant one.
probably so, the upside and downside are too regional. The fix is let states decide but as it as now states can only choose the switch or standard time
I find the standard time year round argument terrible. Mostly because it would be terrible for everyone along i-20 and south. Also because the circadian rhythm arguement is lost on me since nothing about the american schedule is based on a decent circadian rhythm
The key in American parenting life is to find a job that pays well and is flexible with your time if you are full arse in the seat 8-5, you are screwed no matter what time we are on.

DST is superior.
standard time would suck arse in the summer down south. You want it to be well into the 90s at 7am?
