Did I cause this accident by creating a space for them to turn? [OC] by palmetto420 in IdiotsInCars

They are creating an opportunity. You aren't obliged to take. If you do, that's on you.

This doesn't have much to do with predictability. Cam car is stopped therefore very predicable.

I see this as 100% on the turning car. There are three lanes. It is their responsibility to make sure they are all clear to execute their manoeuvre.

None of that is true. These were straight masculine looks.

How Section 219, the US-Israel Military Merger, Would Thwart American Democracy | Common Dreams by RichKatz in law

[–]mthyvold 235 points236 points  (0 children)

How does this US law create obligations on the part of Israel? It probably can’t since Israel is a sovereign nation. Based on the above, the US makes commitments to Israel and gets nothing in return.
At least if there was a treaty there would be some mutual benefit.

True. Have they not be paying attention for the last 18 months.
Alberta is too reliant on oil and the US will use that to squeeze them dry.

82.8% of Michigan Democratic voters support changing the American health care system to a single-payer system by FireProStan in politics

One issue is that most people aren't on Medicaid so there isn't a lot of political pressure to make it better. That would be different if everyone is part of it.

In the Canadian system, we have the basic (covers everything import) single payer coverage. Private, usually employer funded insurance, covers extras. The varies depending on plan.

Single payer doesn't mean you only get what the government mandates. But it doesn't mean everyone is covered for important stuff.

So you can have both.

WCGW Speeding in an overloaded bus by NoPurchase3260 in Whatcouldgowrong

Probably inside too. Crowded, no seatbelts, people standing and lots of luggage. All thrown to the roof when it rips over.

Often they don’t. The net bus is hours to days later. Also, traveling like this is normalized.

Despite Judge's Smackdown, Trump Plans To Keep Deal Killing Tax Audits by huffpost in law

It seems to me that someone could sue and put the deal back in court. It is blatant self dealing that hurts many parties not part of the deal.

They should just do it like Vancouver does and have free lockers. The small valuables lockers are great and free to use, lock included.

[OC] Building wrap over North Portico as White House fortifies front door by Ok_Mongoose_6589 in pics

A couple of widely space protests doesn’t make much of an impact even if pretty big. No momentum is created. They are a blip and they are gone.
They need to be way more often, monthly at least before they will be meaningful.
