An online petition demanding that the sculptors cease and desist

Can we get a petition going for the sculptors to continue?

I’ll summarize it for other people to save them a click:

A few CEOs of companies you’ve never heard of agree with some other guy you’ve never heard of.

They’re putting themselves into an awkward position to have to accept that a fetus is a person and thus eligible to receive tax deductions, use the car pool lane, etc.

Most boomers spent the 60s beating the shit out of Civil Rights protestors and spitting on children because their schools were desegregated.

I think that’s just a Southern thing. Living in the North, my grandparents never discussed beating the shit out of civil rights protesters. Nor did they spout overtly racist things.

They were prejudice, but it was more of a I’ve never seen anyone with that color skin and it’s different so I’m uncomfortable.

I love that there’s just an endless supply of Escalades exiting the freeway.

You’d still owe that debt. Unless you go to prison for live than the debt’s statute length. Generally 7 years.

Also some jurisdictions make you pay for the privilege of going to prison.

Ymmv, choose your state of jurisdiction very carefully.

Also crypto is a bubble IMO.

You’re in a Walmart.

They claim to be cheaper so they can have that drabby distopian look.

In the good parts of town, they look nicer. In the poor parts of town they’re legit worse than that.

Fwiw, I’ll pay the extra dollar per shopping cart for the superior look of a target. Target is generally cleaner and crisper looking. As always there are exceptions to that rule.

The writers of constitution of the United States were advocates of the “Rule of Law”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_law

For those not in the know, it’s a legal philosophy saying that the laws should apply equality to everyone. The constitution writers disliked that the King was above the law. They wanted no one to be above the law.

Now we get to see if the Supreme Court still believes in the rule of law.

My search results keep wanting me to go to Reddit. I’m trying to avoid it, but it keeps calling.

I’m not scrolling there like I did before the “Spez killed the 3rd party app migration”. I miss the level of engagement and ease of finding communities. Lemmy is decent, but the post volume is lacking. If I scroll new now, and again 12 hours later, there’s not much new stuff before I see the stuff from last time.

Do you all think it’ll come before or after he explains his Obamacare alternative?
