In related news, we never even tried because people like making things up so they can continue being scared of their own shadows.

My friend, ongoing ignorance IS malice. I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but your family are just plain old racist.

(I say that as a person from a family full of very friendly, very racist people.)

Glad I'm not the only one who has witnessed this insane behavior. I made the mistake of leaving a grocery bag with bread on the floor once and only once. My youngest cat went ape shit and I came back into the room to a bread massacre right through the plastic bag.

I have zero idea what drives this

their staff faced extreme pressure to provide an immediate response. As such, their staff are instructed to process records requests in-store. CVS Health and Kroger apparently both argued that their staff are trained to respond to these requests and have access legal departments if they have questions.

Yeah, great corporate policy to force a bunch of criminally understaffed front line employees to try to add dealing with aggressive police officers to their daily tasks.

Medical science is clear on when a fetus is viable and when higher brain function occurs. You speak as if you believe the myth that "life" begins at conception, which is not congruent with medical science. Elective abortions should be safe, legal, and RARE.

Did you know that the rates of abortion are increasing now that these bans have gone into affect? Bans do not work. Sex education, birth control, these are the things proven time and again to reduce abortion rates.

This is the exact problem with these bans. The medical procedure in question (dilation and curretage) can be and is used in cases with a fetus in any condition. The same procedure can be used for an elective abortion, a medically necessary abortion, or even to complete a miscarriage that is already underway.

The "abortion" procedure would have saved Savita Halapanavar's life. I personally know three women who were in similar circumstances, losing a lot of blood during miscarriages that weren't completing on their own.

You can't ban medical procedures that have valid use cases. These things are most properly regulated by medical professionals themselves.

I think they won't adjust and they'll die is far more likely.

Exactly. This is why I love the phrase "All y'all are welcome, but you gotta act right."

We're talking about people who are used to spending all of their time on luxury super yachts and hotels with full staff who have never had to go without for even an hour.

I'm not buying that they're going to fare well in a genuine apocalypse.

A year isn't much in a collapsed economy. Three years, five years isn't much. That's my point.

And you think these billionaire assholes are going to have the self-discipline to eat nothing but rations for the rest of their lives? Of course not.

How much food do you really think anyone could fit in a bunker? I mean, seriously. Think about that. They're still planning on being able to resupply, I guarantee it
