Congress passes bill to force the release of the Epstein files - The overwhelming bipartisan votes come after President Donald Trump reversed course and encouraged Republicans to support the measure he had previously opposed - https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna244301

For the last 100 years? Like did they do more good or more evil?

Staten Island is one of five boroughs in New York City. It is renewing its bid to secede from the rest of New York City, following Zohran Mamdani's election as the next mayor of New York City (NYC).

The borough of Staten Island is largely Republican and conservative, in contrast to NYC's other four boroughs that are highly Democrat and liberal.

Here's the story...

Let our people go! Zohran Mamdani victory spurs Staten Island pols to renew bid to pull out of NYC

Interestingly, the Democrats who rule New York City may not object to Staten Island leaving New York City, since it would further strengthen the Democratic base in New York City and make its liberal and socialist policies easier to implement.

FYI, if Staten Island seceded, it would simply become another county within New York State, making 58 independent counties that are not part of NYC.

What do you think?

Should Staten Island secede?

“Wages are staying flat, but housing, healthcare, and groceries sure as hell are not. People are not failing to work hard enough. The system is failing at providing adequate wages that support the cost of living.”

I'll be honest, I love my motivation in starting a family over a decade ago.

but now the more time goes by the more proud and relieve I am that never started a family. I mean I still dont understand how is it that people still reproducing in the degenerate society we live in nowadays?

my anxiety, depression, Complex PTSD and all the other mental illness I have would of probably been far worst that what I am currently just knowing I have children that are being indoctrinated to rebel against their own sanity and biology.

knowing the fact that you can't protect them like a normal parent doesn't make anything easier.

I heard directly from my representative on Intelligence committee... the boats are drug boats moving cocaine, but the his concern is the low level people that are being killed and that congress has not approved the use of military power.

They don't have a choice but to drive those boats and the kingpins running it are the ones that are the problem. Thus, for that reason and others, the representative was opposed to attacking the boats.

Do you approve of USA govt protecting it's shores via the drug boat routes?

Reality is... they will use other means... flying drugs, submarines, who knows what...

The idea of moving the Prime Meridian (0^\circ) to the International Date Line (IDL) (roughly 180^\circ) involves shifting the global reference point for both longitude and time.

Here are some reasons for such a monumental change:

🌍 Arguments FOR Moving the Prime Meridian to the IDL

The arguments generally focus on a more logical or symmetrical geographical and temporal system.

Symmetry and Simplicity:

By making the 180^\circ meridian the zero point, the entire globe could be labeled with longitude values ranging from 0^\circ to +180^\circ (East) and 0^\circ to -180^\circ (West), which technically still results in the same 360^\circ system but could be seen as having a clear geographical center point in the Pacific.

Geographical Neutrality:

The current Prime Meridian at Greenwich was chosen primarily due to the dominance of the British Empire's maritime and cartographic influence in 1884. Moving the zero point to the IDL, which passes almost entirely over the open ocean (the Pacific), would make the global time and coordinate system geographically neutral and less centered on a single nation's history.

Logical Center of the Earth:

The IDL lies where the calendar day naturally begins and ends. Using this line as the zero point might be argued as more logical because the Prime Meridian would then become the line where the day is halfway over (12 hours of difference), creating a symmetrical temporal division.

I intentionally omitted the arguments against it. Be creative!

Some things to consider about this company:

It is an international conglomerate.

It is both a service AND manufacturing company.

Some positions are easy to fill; others are damn near impossible.

Both your employees AND your consumers span a wide spectrum of acceptance tolerance or ban on weed or alcohol.

The testing regimen for both weed and alcohol are the same cost and inconvenience.

These tests would reveal not just usage but HOW MUCH the employee consumes.

The shareholders have stated conclusively that there is no half pregnant. It's the four choices above and that's it.
