The problem is when you spend your last dollar but still are breathing.

Long term, Americans have been bad at making idiots feel shame for their idiocy. There is less of a societal push to make people conform to societal pressure. On one end, this leads to great creative freedom for artists. On the other end, it creates the born again movement.

Medium term, LBJ oversaw the collapse of economic leftism as he was trying to include civil rights legislation and the Vietnam War. This lead to the stagnation of American salaries, but it took a while for people to notice that quality of life wasn't improving for everyone. Also, conservatives realized they could create parallel media in a way to control public sentiment.

Short term, the Great Recession and COVID made it clear that quality of life wasn't as bulletproof as people thought. As a response, some people want to bring back "the good old days", not realizing/remembering that the good old days had a lot of bad to it that was covered up.

Or Clooney's character in Up In The Air ends up retiring in Florida, making him a very eligible bachelor.

Android is open source except for Google Play Services. Other major companies attempted to gain market share in Android but couldn't because of the power of Google's monopoly.

I don't see how a consortium fixes this.

Why the fuck would they delete the content?

The studio owns the content outright, so streaming rights costs should be nothing.

TL;DR, a majority of migrants are coming from Venezuela, most of whom don't go north. Colombia is absorbing many of those immigrants the best they can as is other South American countries. Peru and Chile are starting to limit immigration, Brazil and Colombia are still relatively open and welcoming.

My condolences.

I feel like there are a few things not noted in the article:

  1. The relative economic value of labor has dropped significantly as the developing world has developed and the developed world has seen greater labor participation. Efficiency rose, but so did the supply.

  2. The supply of housing has not not kept up as part of the economy, especially low income housing. The lack of housing supply generally drives wages up in economically productive areas, making it so we have to work longer.

It depends on the systems of alliances and international commitments against a first strike. For instance, the Iran-Iraq War went on for several years and included the deployment of chemical weapons. I'm pretty sure that a nuclear exchange would be tolerated.

While Rogue looks normal, her superpower is somewhat disabling. If she touches anyone, she will cause them harm.

X3 highlights this.

It depends on how the standard was made, with the decisions generally made to fit specific reasons and no overarching standard.

There are also clothes that use more than one number. A lot of mens pants use two numbers; the same with formal mens shirts.

I'm used to the usual "remember me" text messages, but is there a reason they are trying to include the metro area in the message as well?

 

They are supposed to be grown from spores, so what use are ork nipples?
