What you don't seem to understand is that this example is exactly opposite to the current case. Instead of giving a lesser percentage break to the wealthiest party, the Tories have given the biggest percentage break to the wealthiest. The lowest earning actually get a lesser percentage reduction than do the wealthiest.

Here are a few more surprising details.. The state law that Desantis used to transport this asylum seekers specifies that those to be transported are unauthorized. But these people aren't unauthorized. They are in the USA legally now. What's even worse is the airline company that's reaping in the big bucks (contract is worth $12 million) is a major donor to super Pacs supporting Republican candidates in Florida. What's more, Desantis refuses to release the contract for public inspection. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/23/trumps-special-master-pick-turns-into-headache/

It was his deep defects of character that did him in. As his former classics teacher noted: "Boris really has adopted a disgracefully cavalier attitude to his classical studies. [He] sometimes seems affronted when criticised for what amounts to a gross failure of responsibility (and surprised at the same time that he was not appointed Captain of the school for the next half). "I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation that binds everyone else." https://www.thenational.scot/news/19858214.boris-johnson-school-letter-eton-teacher-despairs-pms-effortless-superiority/

So there's no such thing as tertiary syphilis? Believe it or not, the bacteria aren't nearly as fragile as you might think. In the absence of treatment they don't die off. The external symptoms vanish and the bacteria attack, among other things, the nervous system. And people, particularly women, often don't even realize that they have it.

I'm still wondering how did the left make him go? All those leftists in the Tory Cabinet?

You think this person's post is authoritative? What I most enjoyed about it was the utter lack of reference to any scientific research. Maybe at one point the odds of contracting syphilis were so low as that it would take on average having sex with 10000 to come down with it.I believe the information on this webpage dates from 2013. As the article on which this thread is based points out, the rate has since risen dramatically)But that figure depends on the percentage of people infected with it. And it's on the rise. And of course the transmission rate is going to differ by the percentage infected among different cohorts. But even on a general basis, as the prevalence rises, so do the odds of contracting the disease. And because the disease can have symptoms that are easy to ignore, it can go untreated until it's too late. Still, I do agree with him about this: "Living With It: Itchy. Then 15 years later you go insane and kill yourself… (no, seriously.)"

I think you should read the article in its entirety and then rethink your comments about syphilis. It's sharply on the rise and while highest among gay men and the black and native american community, it's rising fastest among women. And as I pointed out, it's easy to ignore because the symptoms are often mild. As for the odds of coming down with cervical cancer being increased by co-infection of Herpes Cervical Cancer Risk Rises If Women with HPV Also Have Herpes Infection "Women who have human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the cervix have a greater risk of invasive cervical cancer if they also have genital herpes, according to a pooled analysis of case-control studies.1 Women with invasive cervical cancer were much more likely than women without cervical cancer to have HPV-infected cervical cells, but they were also nearly twice as likely to have antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Among all women who had HPV-infected cervical cells, women who also had antibodies to HSV-2 had more than twice the risk of squamous cell carcinoma and more than three times the risk of adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous cell carcinoma relative to women who did not have these antibodies." https://www.guttmacher.org/journals/ipsrh/2003/06/cervical-cancer-risk-rises-if-women-hpv-also-have-herpes-infection#:~:text=Cervical Cancer Risk Rises If Women with HPV Also Have Herpes Infection,-Susan London%2C Guttmacher&text=Women who have human papillomavirus,analysis of case-control studies. And here's what you wrote about HPV "HPV is unavoidable for the sexually active, even with condoms. So it can't be prevented from an STD point of view, and therefore can't be treated as an STD. Unless, you just become celibate" It's clearly not unavoidable and should be treated as an STP preventable by vaccination and part of a pubic health program.

It was very cruel of the EU to treat the UK only a bit better than it does any other nation that has no special legal ties to the EU. So unfair!

Just for the record it's Alina Habba. And, as a lawyer, she's a disaster The One Trump Lawyer the Rest of Trump’s Legal Team Loathes Facing high-stakes investigations that could cripple his business empire or even mean jail time for him and close associates, former President Donald Trump and his family’s armada of lawyers are facing a threat from within. Her name is Alina Habba, and—almost out of nowhere—the relatively unknown New Jersey lawyer went from representing a college student ticked off at COVID-19 virtual learning to being one of the top attorneys defending the twice-impeached former president in some of the country’s most high-profile cases. There’s just one problem for Habba: There’s hardly anyone in the Trump legal universe who can stand her. https://www.thedailybeast.com/alina-habba-the-trump-lawyer-the-rest-of-trumps-legal-team-loathes I don't know who's more incompetent: her or that other member of Trump's team, Judge Aileen Cannon.

Thanks for the corrections. But condoms do lower the odds of being infected with HPV, Though not nearly as much as for bacterially transmitted disease. Also it does seem that a woman infected with both HPV and Herpes runs a higher risk for cancer. But I don't understand why you think vaccination against HPV s doesn't qualify to be part of a public health program against HPV's. As for congenital syphilis, it's on the rise according to the article. So apparently either testing isn't foolproof, or it isn't always done. And syphilis that goes undetetected, because its symptoms can be very mild, is fully as awful as any other fatal disease.

And why should we care about these operational matters? How does that detract from the main point that these submarines pose a potent threat? Your comments seem to come straight from nerdworld.

Actually, Ghana's economy seems to be doing quite well. At least as far as GDP per capita is concerned https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/GHA/ghana/gdp-per-capita#:~:text=Ghana gdp per capita for,a 8.99% increase from 2017.

Tell that to women who come down with cervical cancer, a disease caused by herpes viruses. Syphilis can have very mild symptoms at first that are easy to overlook. In the long run, the consequences of an infection are disastrous. As the article points out, congenitial syphilis can cause blindness, deafness, or even death. Then there's AIDs. Treatable now, but not yet curable.

She starts out be saying "Valuations are incredibly subjective as we know" Well, How what does claiming an apartment is 30,000 square feet when in fact it's only 11,000 square feet have to do with subjectivity? What does claiming a property's can be divided and developed when in fact it's prohibited due to a conservation easement have to due with subjectivity? What does including dues as a source of income at his westchester golf course when, in fact, dues aren't charged, have to do with subjectivity?

This is false, Trump's outreach to North Korea had utterly failed by the time he left office. The Illusion of Peace and the Failure of U.S.-North Korea Summitry On June 12, North Korea’s Foreign Minister Ri Son-gwon issued a highly unusual commemorative statement to mark the second anniversary of the first-ever meeting of U.S. President Donald J. Trump and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un. The statement laid bare North Korea’s disappointments, rejected Trump’s declarations of success in his diplomacy with North Korea, and predicted an enduring confrontation backed by North Korea’s nuclear development as the main pillar of deterrence against U.S. hostility. The statement reiterated months of North Korean expressions of frustration and underscored the fragility of the U.S.-North Korea relationship and the risks that a renewed escalation of tensions could bring. https://www.cfr.org/blog/illusion-peace-and-failure-us-north-korea-summitry-0 North Korea blows up joint liaison office with South in Kaesong Published 16 June 2020 North Korea has blown up a joint liaison office with the South near the North's border town of Kaesong. The move comes just hours after the North renewed threats of military action at the Korean border. The site was opened in 2018 to help the Koreas - officially in a state of war - to communicate. It had been empty since January due to Covid-19 restrictions. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53060620

This article provides an excellent summary of all the ways that Judge Cannon and Donald Trump got slapped down by the 11 circuit court panel Judge Cannon’s Latest Mar-a-Lago Ruling Just Got Benchslapped In its ruling yesterday overturning Judge Aileen Cannon’s injunction—with regard to the approximately 100 documents bearing classified markings seized from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago residence—the 11th Circuit did not merely overrule Judge Cannon, it went out of its way to detail the many ways in which Judge Cannon had fundamentally misstated the law. In my more than 25 years of practice as a criminal and civil litigator (including three years as an assistant U.S. Attorney), I do not believe that I have read an appellate decision that was more dismissive of the lower court. The 11th Circuit sent a clear message to Judge Cannon and Trump: stop doing this. Let's take them one by one. https://news.yahoo.com/judge-cannon-latest-mar-lago-190314026.html

You're confusing the political processes of impeachment and removal from office with the legal system. It's only after Trump left the Presidency that the latter could be engaged.

And anyway, your original point was an excellent one. Who cares if that kind of sub can literally sitting on the bottom or not?

It looks like Trump is being schooled that words have consequences: Special master asks Trump team to back up claim FBI planted evidence The special master assigned to review the documents taken during the August search of Mar-a-Lago is asking former President Trump to back up his claim that the FBI planted evidence on his Florida property. Judge Raymond Dearie, the special master selected after being out forth by Trump, told his attorneys they would need to submit a sworn declaration that details “a list of any specific items set forth in the [FBI’s] detailed property inventory that plaintiff asserts were not seized from the premises.”... Trump asserted as recently as Wednesday evening during an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity that the FBI may have planted evidence during the search. https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/3656739-special-master-asks-trump-team-to-back-up-claim-fbi-planted-evidence/

Well even if Trump did telepathically declassify those documents, it's irrelevant. But don't take my word for it. Here's what the judges from the 11th circuit said: "In any event, at least for these purposes, the declassification argument is a red herring because declassifying an official document would not change its content or render it personal," the judges wrote. "So even if we assumed that Plaintiff did declassify some or all of the documents, that would not explain why he has a personal interest in them." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/appeals-court-grants-dojs-request-partial-stay-judges/story?id=90296433

Are they going to invade on jet skis?

Trump hater Bill Barr??? Really? This is the guy who lied about the Mueller report for Trump. Tried to quash investigations that could hurt Trump. Promoted investigations of those he he perceived to be opponents of Trump. And all because he didn't want to make himself ridiculous by supporting Trump's insane allegations that he actually won the election?

The first step is to control the border? Why is that the first step? Can it even be done? It's like saying to solve the drug problem the first step is to keep drugs from coming in.. Instead of investing money in treatment or even decriminalization. You offer no good reason to start that the US shouldn't start with severe economic penalties imposed on owners instead. Far better to work on the demand side if the goal is truly to reduce the number of undocumented aliens. These people mostly come to work. If employers were severely penalized, then a way to accommodate the needed immigrants would be found.

Actually, when people are admitted through the standard immigration process they also bring with them all sorts of crime. The identity theft issue is actually the opposite of tax evasion since many undocumented immigrants actually pay social security/medicare taxes with no hopes of refund. In California, at least, undocumented workers can get driver's licenses. As for tax evasion, that's as much a crime of employers isn't it? In fact, as has been been pointed out repeatedly, if the government truly wanted to solve this problem, all it would have to do is create severe penalties for hiring workers. Threaten employers with some serious jail time. In Texas 8.5% of the workforce is reckoned to be undocumented aliens. In home construction it's estimated to be 25%. Maybe Governor Abbot could start there. But of course that won't happen because the present state of things suits powerful economic interests. When the right wing in America starts pushing hard for this, get back to me. In fact, like the anti-marijuana lows, immigration laws are bad laws that drastically need reform. Which is why there are bad outcomes. As for the crime stats, In The study I cited it was clearly stated that Texas was chsen precisely because it does track immigrant status in its database. It doesn't hurt that it's the second most populous state and has the highest rate of employment of undocumented immigrants.

It's a total of $112.2 million for the 7 drones. About $15.8 million each.
