Hillary Clinton ran against a sexual predator. She should have mopped the floor with him. She didn’t.

Any election against Trump will be close. The problem isn’t age. The problem is Trump supporters.

Deflation causes mass unemployment. We tried it in the 1930s. Didn’t go well.

Yup. Not only that, but the attacks from the GOP and media won’t stop. They will simply change from “Biden is too old” to racist garbage like “Harris might be our first DEI president” (That’s an actual headline from the NY Post, which I refuse to link to).

No matter what happens, Democrats will need thick skin.

In Arizona, the operator of an AI vehicle must submit a law enforcement interaction plan that specifies how they will be ticketed.

However, it’s quite possible that actually following the plan is a pain in the butt for traffic cops, and they simply don’t want to put in the effort.

I’m just speculating, but there is probably a very efficient workflow for sending a ticket to an individual (given the number of tickets police write and the revenue they generate), and I wouldn’t be surprised if the workflow doesn’t accommodate an AI operated vehicle. Kind of like how a restaurant would need to restructure its workflow to accommodate DoorDash.

In other words, “infeasible” might actually mean “would take extra effort”.

Arizona law does allow officers to give out tickets when a robotaxi commits a traffic violation while driving autonomously; however, officers have to give them to the company that owns the vehicle. Doing so is “not feasible,” according to a Phoenix police spokesperson

This sort of thing happens even when nobody is selling a book or other product.

It’s just easier for the host (who won’t need to prepare as much) and the guest (who won’t be caught off guard).

And not just campaigns. People who are interviewed on TV commonly provide a list of questions to their host.

I participated in a TV interview once, and was surprised to find that everyone got together beforehand to outline the interview, eg “OK first you can ask me about X, and I’ll answer Y so maybe you could follow up with Z, etc”

Ackshually the Bible doesn’t require celibacy. The Pope even suggested that married priests might be allowed in the future.

The campaign sent eight questions.

The host approved four questions for her show. Those four were among the eight.
