Though it is wild how it seems to suggest a bunch of people were sitting around respectiving Covid restrictions and stuff and are now going "Finally, the lockdown is lifted, I can go on that shooting spree I've been planning for six months!". "I would go on a shooting spree, but the gun store has a mask requirement"

Crosby B. Alfred posted:Is there anything... that can be done about his attitude? Literally, in any other job this kind behavior would not be tolerated. He can be removed from the committee by the Democrats, same as happened with MTG. He can be censured by a majority of the whole House and ejected from the House with a 2/3 majority e: and yeah you could go fishing in his closet for skeletons and turn up a lot, but in terms of pure congressional procedure in absence of pressure from Republicans the above are the options

RoboChrist 9000 posted:Also speaking of the flag; who in government decides the new one? Like say DC gets its statehood: is it congress, Biden, or a constitutional congress or what that decides upon the new flag? The overall design of the flag (13 red and white stripes, blue rectangle with a white star for each state) is set by law; the president selects the layout of the stars by issuing an executive order Also part of the law: Flag updates take effect on the subsequent Independence Day

Orthanc6 posted:That's... very surprising. I realize drones can be tiny, but we've known for years now that drones of any size can be used for reconnaissance and attack. And heck, airports have developed a bunch of methods for getting rid of drones in their airspace. Keeping the airspace directly above a CVN clear of enemy aircraft of any size should be top priority, I think a lot of people dropped the ball on this one. They probably were fully aware of the drone and had something aimed at it or easily could have. But if they were reasonably sure it wasn't going to initiate hostilities shooting it down would have been more trouble than it was worth diplomatically. Of course if it actually did drop something on the carrier, poo poo would have gotten real fast and both sides know this

ryde posted:Is it possible for the republicans to sabotage DC statehood by delaying until the midterms or undoing it? The Senate resolution will be filibusterable, so unless the filibuster is modified it's dead. If it passes there is no procedure for eliminating a state without the consent of that state so it's effectively permanent.

The pollster asks you a simple yes or no question, you can't answer that with a detailed, nuanced diatribe about how Biden's unprecedentedly leftist incrementalism, while an objective and tangible improvement over Trump, is inadequate to address American's trajectory unless he or someone else proceeds to more radical upheavals of the social order. Or at least if you do he's still going to mark you down as a simple yes or no (or "did not answer"). It's an opinion poll, not an open call for editorials, it comes up with one number that tells you very little about the individuals and their rationales for declaring approval.

Kraftwerk posted:1. How do you efficiently tax people in this globalized era where it’s trivial to hide your money off shore. Or create legal entities that exist out of US tax jurisdictions despite the bulk of their revenues coming from America? It seems to me that if you raise taxes they’ll just find new ways to make their tax liabilities go to 0. At best you can try to eliminate tax credits so you aren’t paying Amazon to be rich. The Biden administration is already working on an international initiative to counter this sort of thing by aligning taxation worldwide and applying multilateral pressure to tax havens
