The number of representatives apportioned for each state does not dictate how they vote on any particular issue. The Senate has existed long before our current president.

The purpose of the Senate is to give all states equal suffrage in the legislature. Article 5 of the constitution states “no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.“

The Senate is more necessary than ever in this age of unconstitutional and almost unlimited exercise of federal power.

The Senate ensures less populous states have an equal vote in our united (federated) states.

I hear this a lot from people who've never been to a yoga class. It's more of a stereotype than reality. All the yoga classes I took have never mentioned anything resembling yogababble.

Eat vegan and ignore the haters.

Let’s see... at every tech job I’ve had I received:

- 6 figure salary

- healthcare

- paid vacation

- comfortable safe work environment often with free food

What “rights” would the union be fighting for, exactly? 4 weeks vacation instead of 2? Working from home?

“repo operations”, “quantitative easing”, and “emergency asset relief” are all fancy methods of printing money.

Main Street is starting to see that the Fed will monetize anything, with no limit. They’re starting to demand access to the printing press. The moral hazard with permanent ongoing QE is becoming a reality if Yang is taken as an omen of what’s to come.

> All the research indicates

Which research would that be?

Fastmail is pretty snappy for me. Why else would I want to switch to Superhuman besides a snappy experience?

Also I mostly use mail via IMAP using the iOS mail app, in which case the web client is entirely irrelevant.

The war on drugs doesn’t work. the government should not have the authority to interfere with what people put inside their body.

Stop blaming drug addiction on everybody but the drug addicts.

Huh? There is no spam with RSS or IM. The user chooses what to consume.

And spam is a solved problem with email.

> Big Mac isn’t unhealthy

Neither is nicotine, necessarily. Neither is smoking if it isn’t done long term and on a regular basis. But of course people who eat Big Macs tend to do it more than occasionally.

People don’t have to intake sugar. They don’t have to intake meat either.

You think I’m being facetious, but I’m dead serious. I’ve lost one family member to obesity and another suffers from type 2 diabetes.

Downvote all you want. The facts are the facts. Unhealthy eating is just as bad as smoking. If the government is going to regulate our personal health choices, then it needs to be consistent.

Why can't we ban sugar?
