The official ideology of North Korea is Juche. Position papers in the 1970s said Juche is not communism, and that position has if anything become more solid over time.
> Detroit was the wealthiest city in the US in 1950, with the highest per capita GDP in the country. Over the course of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, the UAW union took over, with membership eventually peaking in 1978.
> What followed was industrial collapse, and eventually, Detroit becoming a ghost town.
East Michigan was wealthy in the 1950s, and the unionized workers like Larry Page's grandfather sent their children off to college.
Textile mills in the Carolinas had virtually no unionization.
Yes, manufacturing employment is down from Michigan's heyday. What about the textile plants from North Carolina's heyday? They closed down too. They never unionized, so what caused that to happen?
The difference is the Michigan factory worker entered the middle class, and owned a home, two cars and sent his kids off to college. The North Carolina textile worker's children did not get this education, and when the textile mills closed had no such luck.
Firstly, it was not unionization that produced the high wages seen in Detroit circa 1950. Wages had rapidly grown over the preceding the decades, in an era that was mostly non-unionized.
Wages grew rapidly in the Carolinas since the 1960s, unlike in Detroit. The workers flocked to new rapidly growing industries like finance, technology and biotech.
North Carolina's population has grown by 60% since 1990, while Detroit's has shrunk.
Except in this instance, the conservative justices completely abandoned their "textualism" argument given the law in question was written by Congress to do precisely what they disallowed. And no, I don't want to hear that "well clearly not since they ruled against it."
To be clear: I'm talking about their redefinition of the word "adjacent". Forgive me if I'm not following the thread correctly here. Justice Alito seems to think adjacent means "navigable waters" instead of "these waters are literally connected to each other even if not above ground".
Almost all waters are “literally connected to each other” in a manner that’s clearly beyond anything Congress intended to regulate when they revised the CWA.
I think it should be clear by now that the textualists are only interested in text that suits their interests (e.g. the first clause of the second amendment is just flavor text since 2013).
Congress has been doing climate and environmental regulation since Nixon. However in 1998 the Senate killed the Kyoto protocol (even though it was signed by the Clinton administration) and in 2001 the Bush administration became increasingly hostile towards any climate regulation. This supreme court case is simply yet another governing body standing in the way of congress to write and maintain climate and environmental regulation.
Don't blame this on the congress. Doing so is an ahistorical timeline.
They are useless unless the regulation lines their pockets along with it seems the Court System. The US will bring down the world with it based upon how the Supreme Court Legalized bribing.
If we pretend the Supreme Court is partisan, which it is not but let's entertain that thought here, then the decision was bipartisan. Both the Left and the Right judged that the EPA was overstepping its authority.[1]
>The court voted unanimously to reverse the Ninth Circuit, but split 5–4 on the rationale. The majority opinion, by Alito, introduced a new test to define wetlands, which reversed five decades of EPA rule-making and limited the scope of the Clean Water Act's authority to regulate waters of the United States. Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the three liberal justices in agreeing that the CWA did not apply to the Sacketts' property, but argued that the majority's new definition was incorrect and will have significant effects on regulated waters.
> If we pretend the Supreme Court is partisan, which it is not but let's entertain that thought here..
I mean, that’s laughable, I don’t know how anyone can call the current Court non-partisan with a straight face. That doesn’t mean every decision is necessarily partisan, but multiple decisions over the past few years have been blatantly partisan, with Thomas and Alito especially making very little effort, if any, to hide it.
I used to feel that the Supreme Court was the one of the few non-partisan institutions in our government, but the way this Court has run roughshod over stare decisis to effect change in the interests of its majority was more than enough to disabuse me of that notion.
Everyone loves when decisions are going their way, consequences be damned, but the way those decisions get made matters, and nobody should be happy with the way the current court is choosing to act. It has set a really bad precedent for future courts, and has already done immense damage to its reputation in the eyes of many.
I’m not explaining any ideology… definitely don’t think of Orcas in terms of “woke” or not. Just stating that rooting for the orcas is rooting for something fairly self-defeating.
For the past half century, inflation adjusted wages have remained basically flat while productivity has more than doubled. The 1% heirs have captured almost all of that growth. So that is the source of this funding - the heirs expropriate the profit of surplus labor time to finance the government which oversees that expropriation.
