That’s a federal crime. If it’s for your personal or household use and under $200 you’re fine(unless you’re coming from China).

Doesn’t seem like a good time to fuck with border control.

My parents thought I was a lunatic, I never knew there was another… Watching that marshmallow inflate like a balloon was icing on the cake.

Asbestos in brake pads was banned as a factory item for car manufacturers. No cars are allowed to come new with asbestos in the pads, it was a solved problem for a decade. It was allowed for replacement pads only(until last year when it was banned entirely).

Just gonna steal this from someone else, but

Longer than that, I bet. This report from EPIAction doesn’t specifically mention spending increases and decreases, but all other economic indicators have been better under Democrats than they have under Republicans for at least 75 years.

Since 1949, there has been a Democratic advantage in the average performance of key macroeconomic indicators measuring economic health, including:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth

Job growth

Unemployment rate

Growth in inflation-adjusted wages

Growth of market-based incomes per capita

Inflation

Interest rates

The US economy has performed better when the president of the United States is a Democrat rather than a Republican, almost regardless of how one measures performance…The superiority of economic performance under Democrats rather than Republicans is nearly ubiquitous: it holds almost regardless of how you define success. By many measures, the performance gap is startlingly large.

UK didn’t ban asbestos till 2000, 25 years after we knew it was mega cancer.

1993 for Germany

1997 for France

1992 for Italy

2002 for Spain

China still hasn’t banned asbestos.

Valuing profit over human life is not unique to the US or even capitalism(if you’re foolish enough to consider China a communist state).

Government dictating that citizens MUST give money to a private company who then gives money to the politicians who make that mandate is wildly immoral. Insurance should be a government program.

Leaded gas still isn’t banned. Small airplanes still use it, and homes around airfields (including mine, which my family lived in before the airfield) are contaminated with lead. My daughter failed her 12 month lead test because of it despite us excluding her from outdoor activities in our neighborhood.

Yes, and for some reason those recessions and emergencies happen when morons are in charge. Who would’ve guessed?

We were using it in aftermarket brake pads too…

Open/Libreoffice can do that too

Which countries are you talking about? Pretty much every country with a notable economy has gold reserves of some size.

Controls on coordination are a complete joke, though. I’m pretty sure she could literally publicly release a script with directors notes and say “I want this PAC to make this commercial and air it in these markets and timeslots” and it would be legal.
