| Topic | Biden privately tells governors: Minimum wage hike likely isn't happening |
| Balrog0 02/19/21 3:23:19 PM #157 | Fam_Fam posted... the filibuster is a protection for the minority party. i understand the argument against it, and im inclined to agree that it slows down progress. on the other hand, i'm also aware of how bad things will get if the GOP gets the majority without a filibuster in place. it can (and perhaps will) get very, very ugly if we go down that road. I'm not convinced that will be better than the status quo in the long run. if the democrats feel confident enough that the GOP will never get the majority again, then it makes complete sense. if not, then they'll need to be ready to be run over by them when they lose. The GOP will have NO mercy if you give them power, they've shown that time and time again. They couldn't even repeal Obamacare on a simple majority vote iirc --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Balrog0 02/19/21 3:21:26 PM #152 | Antifar posted... None of our 50 state governments have a supermajority requirement for regular legislation, nor do any other major countries. The senate itself didn't until like 25 years ago! It's kind of interesting, many states have supermajority requirements for budget or tax bills, kind of the exact opposite --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Balrog0 02/18/21 7:30:10 PM #38 | brestugo posted... Well, that and people move for work reasons, move to care for parents, move to retire, etc. That's true every state, but most are gaining population. I mean california mostly has, too. This is the first time it's actually lost people afaik. brestugo posted... I will say this about the work side in CA, if your occupation or company is closer to the 18th century than the 22nd century, you may find it tough. This state is R&D oriented. I'm from San Jose lool. My dad lost his job when the dotcom bubble burst (he installed cubicles for tech companies lool) and I've lived in Arkansas ever since. --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Balrog0 02/18/21 7:08:23 PM #19 | Um, it's pretty bad to be losing population at all honestly. You expect to see maybe a slowing of growth in a country like the US but losing population is a sign something is wrong imo That said it's hardly due to anything like taxes or general regulations, it's specifically a housing issue --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

Oh there have definitely been series that improved viewership from the first episode, but the general rule is that your first episode is probably going to be higher than the second. Particularly for weekly shows. Oh yeah, I specifically meant "higher audience for episode 2 than episode 1" I mean it makes sense --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |
