Maybe not always, but there are plenty of senators who are fundamentally there for life (McConnell).

This also means theres a lower chance for those who truly can’t be bought, because running a nationwide campaign is expensive. They will all need money–most of it from corporate. Could you imagine Citizens United being decided by an elected court?

The one advantage would be that the court would more rapidly match the public’s views, and not take decades to move along with the country… But we still elected a raving lunatic like trump.

I think Bidens proposals strike a reasonable balance; a 5-7 year elected term I fear forces more money into the equation and doesn’t give any opportunity to fix the thing.

Which makes them incapable of being bought? Look at any senator you care to.

Kagen, Sotomayor, Coney Barrett.

Just depends how unique the persons name is. Nobody called Janet Reno just plain old Janet.

How many washing machines

Or maybe just good guys with Li-ion batteries.

I’m not sure how you just build a pool that doesn’t leak and can hold the weight of the water…

This is the direct opposite of the saying.

If you try 1000 different combinations of bulb design you are not doing the same thing over and over again. It would be insane to attempt to make a light bulb 1000 times out of the same exact material and design and expect a different outcome.

The entire point of the saying is learn from your failures. Make adjustments. Try something slightly different.

Oh no think of all the taxes they suddenly won’t be paying.

Can we hold the US government liable when a drug runner uses the interstate to move his shit from A to B?

Same! I refuse to update it and got a little annoyed at a post I saw where the dev (at least I think it was him) said “hey it’s 1 year later and the world hasn’t exploded”. Found that a little annoying.

Let’s hope he gets control of the app back and can do nova again, without this shit baked in.

Edit: guess I should have RTFA first. Gross

Either that or it would be so lucrative we could fund universal healthcare

Except we all know it would fund cool new guns and tanks for your local municipality.

And the model I saw proposed would grant them senior status and thus maintain pay as if they were actively sitting.

Paying them to do nothing post term is a very very cheap solution to protect democracy.

The problem is (even currently) they want more money than is being paid directly by the federal govt.

As I understood how this would work is the next appointment will be “term limited”. After 18 years they would assume senior justice status. This will do two things. First, allow for someone new to be appointed. Second, ensure they don’t run afoul of the lifetime appointment status.

Under the senior status, the most recent to leave the court can step in again as a sub after a death pending installation of a new “starter”.

So in one way yes, there will be many more justices… But there will be a starting 9, and more in a pseudo retirement. This will be a long road to get there, as they need to wait for the first vacancy, and then the next, etc.

Cause she’s not 61 in that picture. Was dated 2015.

For this context with Amazon though, prime is totally different in the EU than the US.

There are few countries with Amazon (eg Germany) and thus for most the benefit is that prime only gets free shipping on smaller orders that wouldn’t qualify normally, and faster processing in the warehouse. Maybe you get your shit a day or two earlier.

In the US it’s next day vs a week.

Point being there are far fewer prime accounts in EU so Amazon likely doesn’t care if they can’t discount as “deeply” as in the US.

DEI expert because his employer keeps sending him to classes

This is more of a priest behavior.

And the DOJ is announcing criminal charges against individuals implicated in such decisions and abuses, right???
