10% so far unfortunately.

Recessions officially require a slowdown of an economy over a longer period of time. Usually the stock market has nothing to do with it, though it can be a canary in the coal mine for it.

A recession has more to do with unemployment rate rising, negative GDP growth and consumer spending indexes falling.

Essentially it’s just a fancy way of saying the economy is slowing down in every category.

The stock market is a rich person’s playground in this day and age mostly.

Do you only fuck sharks that are communists, or are you a communist that fucks sharks?

I suppose that’s not mutually exclusive, after thinking about it.

What are you talking about? Trump is isolating us from the rest of the world day by day.

We’re rapidly approaching the level of Russia, as considered on the world stage. Nothing about what is happening is a good thing. Nothing.

I am assuming this is satire and everyone missed that?

I was unaware of this. Thanks for the info!

We’ll have Palin there, looking out her window, to let us know the second she sees the Russians.

It’s my understanding that it’s been put to a vote several times there and they’ve chosen not to join the states. Something about taxes going up.

I hope not, but yeah, I suspect this will be the case.

The world is fucked, and this is a perfect microcosm of why.

It’s my understanding that this will make it far more difficult for them to get a conviction/verdict. Going for the death penalty has certain bars to hit during a trial by jury. It’s often why prosecutors go after lesser sentences on things people absolutely did the worse versions of. This gives them a much more likely guilty verdict from a jury.

By doing this, they’re basically torpedoing the case, as I understand it.

Purely to try and scare people/send a message.

When he’s rendered a verdict of not-guilty for the crimes that would lead to the death penalty, but is guilty of something relatively trivial, like “owning an unregistered firearm”, this could come back to bite them in the ass.

But who knows. I’ve been hoping for the judicial system to bite the ass of fascists for almost a decade now, without much luck.

0 here as well. Really feels like a Gen X/Millennial thing.

So do we all.

That’s exactly what they’re used for. It’s to prevent a vehicle from going too far in that direction, which would typically damage a structure or something expensive or harmful
