Here’s the thing: SNAP’s authorization has lapsed. So even if the $3b (or however many billion the Judge from Motley Rice thinks) exists, the program requiring its expenditure does not. 1/9

They don’t cover this in School House Rock but how a bill becomes a law happens twice for a government program: first when the program is authorized and second when it’s funded via appropriations. McConnell is assuming this is all about approps but it’s actually both. 2/9

Is there money in a contingency fund? Sure, probably. At minimum there’s $3b available through 09/2026. Maybe there’s another $3b available through 09/2027 but none of that necessarily matters. 3/9

A modern industrial state is uniquely defined as having advanced manufacturing capacity, especially in complex machinery like cars, trucks, planes and trains.

Canada's transition from a mainly rural economy to an industrial one was forced by the Second World War when Canadian manufacturing capacity was augmented to meet the demands of Allied campaign. C.D. Howe was the key minister in McKenzie King's wartime government who oversaw it.

As the Minister of Defence Production during the Liberal government of Louis St. Laurent he continued the post war economic development with major infrastructure projects. He championed the construction of a natural gas pipeline from Alberta to central Canada.

Good LORD now that’s a tranche of exhibits standby for Trump’s actual filings
Here’s the exhibits. When I say Trump “is that client from Satan’s taint” here’s proof
100+ pages of his public comments being laid bare in all it’s cringeworthy (non) glory

Generally speaking the party who doesn’t require a loquacious response means they are on exceedingly STRONG legal footing which is a place you want to be in. The plaintiff’s brief is 15 pages and it’s fing SAVAGE

This is the Trial Brief Post-Trial Memorandum. Filed by All Defendants.
Setting aside the incorrect citations and the horribly written disjointed and at times screaming goats Trump is blowing out of his ass —if I had ever written the bullshit contained herein, I’d be immediately fired.
Trump’s response is absolutely and absurdly nonsensical and the arguments made and cadande dripping in contempt.
FFS any attorney that files a response and you can read the rage and contempt is in fact an absolute shitheal attorney.

AND because we’ve talked at length about to federalize or not. Coupled with statutorily required CONDITIONS which are not typically pulled out of one’s very large ass. Like how fing dumb can you be to highlight the various circuit splits if you haven’t already received assurances that SCOTUS will rubber stamp shit, constitution be damned. King Trump reigns supreme and shall never be questioned

It's always fun to install "older" OSes on systems not designed for them. Given that, how about we install Windows '98 SE on this Dell Latitude D600 with a Pentium M processor? Let's have a look at it in a 🧵 here!

So, first and foremost, this site is AWESOME! There is a bundle of drivers that you can download, and inside the bundle is a readme file with some very clear instructions on what to do! retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2018/05/dell-l…

I kicked off the install, and not far into the process, we ran into an issue since this system has more than 512MB of memory. I had to add a line to system dot ini under the [386enh] section as you see here (MaxPhysPage=20000). After that change, install proceeded!

I was on the Huntingdon train.

I only know of one attacker, he got on the train from Peterborough. He was black mid 20’s. We ran from the back of the train to the end as everyone was screaming to run, explaining there was somebody stabbing everyone and everything.

1/

At first I thought it was a joke, but quickly I realised they were serious. Some people coming thought he had a gun, we really didn’t know what we were up against. As I ran I put my hand on a chair, when I looked at my hand it was covered in blood.
2/

There was blood on the top of countless chairs, coming from 2 of the guys who had been severely stabbed ahead of me.

A young girl was distraught as the attacker tried to stab her, but a hero of an older man got in the way taking a gash on his forehead

@utilamax @grok @strangearizonan @Stop_RCV @SaveOurStates (Quick note: Clinton won the popular vote by ~2.9 million. But that’s the Electoral College for you, another “trade-off” in our system. Doesn’t change the math.)
1. Arrow’s theorem doesn’t “disprove majority rule.”
It says no ordinal ranked system satisfies all four axioms.

@utilamax @grok @strangearizonan @Stop_RCV @SaveOurStates Majority rule fails transitivity in cycles — a known trade-off, not a contradiction.
• Your “package deal” (bundling 2012+2016) isn’t majority rule — it’s agenda manipulation by smashing unrelated votes.
• 2012: Obama > Romney (majority)
• 2016: Trump > Clinton

@utilamax @grok @strangearizonan @Stop_RCV @SaveOurStates (Electoral majority, despite popular loss)
No paradox. You rigged the ballot.
→ Stop using Arrow’s name in vain.
2. Harsanyi’s “average utility” is rhetoric, not proof.
It assumes cardinal, interpersonally comparable utilities — but vNM utilities are unique only up to affine

@utilamax @grok @strangearizonan @Stop_RCV @SaveOurStates comparable utilities — but von Neumann–Morgenstern utilities are unique only up to affine scaling. You can’t average what isn’t on the same scale. His veil trick is utilitarianism by fiat.

That’s logrolling or score voting — systems that also fail

Why do repo rates change and what do they have to do with reserves. This is a super technical issue and there are better folks to follow on this topic than me but I'll give it a go.

Firstly what are the two sides of a repo transaction and why do they want to interact.

One side is a guy with a bank deposit he wants to earn interest on. The other is a guy who wants to borrow money overnight and has assets he owns that he is willing to provide as collateral to the loan. We can go down a level on each side but for now let's keep it simple.

Most repo transactions are done with UST as the collateral and most UST collatarel used is TBills but. UST's are also highly common collateral but do to the marked to market risk they offer less borrowing capacity per unit of notional (higher haircut)
