[00:46] IsambardPrince They've changed since then, but the core concepts remain. [00:46] IsambardPrince So I had to get Mandy passed laws based on the ones that Hitler admired. [00:46] IsambardPrince *past [00:47] IsambardPrince The 1952 and 1965 acts and the small amendments later on changed that significantly, so they wouldn't be as openly racist. [00:47] IsambardPrince But they kept core concepts like "public charge" giving immigration officers the ability to claim you might turn out to be one, even if there's no evidence of that. [00:48] IsambardPrince So whether your case is approved or not can come down to which immigration officer you get (which is random) instead of specific laws and regulations.

[07:58] IsambardPrince A few years makes practically no difference really. [07:59] IsambardPrince The dates have been getting shorter to discourage people from anticipating inflation and putting a ton of it away.

[07:59] schestowitz[TR2] probably just because they can... the branbd [07:59] IsambardPrince When nobody really cared too much about coffee quality. ● Jan 06 [08:00] IsambardPrince They wanted a big can and they wanted it cheap. [08:00] IsambardPrince And you got like these 56 ounce cans for $4. [08:00] *hawer (~newyear@freenode-drv.aab.2jssns.IP) has joined #techrights [08:00] IsambardPrince That's enough to make like over 40 full pots of coffee (12 US coffee cup pots). [08:01] IsambardPrince If you did half pots or got the small coffee machine then you'd have trouble even getting through $4 of coffee in the next 6 months. [08:01] IsambardPrince Now you get a bag, right, it's 11 or 12 ounce, and it's like $10. [08:01] IsambardPrince And you open it up, and a few days later it's empty. [08:02] IsambardPrince That's how it feels anyway. [08:02] IsambardPrince It feels painful. Like, you pay 2.5 times more, for like 15% of what you used to get. [08:02] IsambardPrince And if they take more it'll just be an empty bag. [08:02] schestowitz[TR2] quick question [08:02] IsambardPrince Probably cost $20 then.

[08:05] IsambardPrince He openly bragged that thanks to his appointees to the Supreme Court, businesses could turn away gay customers, even if their State had a law against it.

[08:08] IsambardPrince https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/trump-administration-sides-with-baker-in-same-sex-wedding#.dnPpK5d6A [08:08] TR Bot Trump Administration Sides With Baker In Same-Sex Wedding Cake Case [08:09] IsambardPrince The Illinois Human Rights Commission sided with two gay men who were told they couldn't have a wedding reception at a downstate bed and breakfast, despite the website saying it hosted weddings. The owner didn't just refuse, he started harassing one of the men via email. [08:09] *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed) [08:09] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights [08:09] IsambardPrince The Commission took up the case and awarded the men some serious monetary damages. He appealed it to the US Supreme Court, which at the time refused to take it. [08:10] IsambardPrince So the Illinois AG stepped in (Lisa Madigan at the time, same one who took up my filing against Lenovo) and threatened to start seizing assets, including his b&b. [08:10] IsambardPrince So the guy finally paid them on the last day, plus interest. [08:10] IsambardPrince But after the Colorado bakery case, it's pretty clear the same thing would not happen again today. [08:11] IsambardPrince The US Supreme Court has not only decided federal law, it's practically committed an invasion of blue States and overturned our civil rights laws. [08:12] IsambardPrince The ICHR is still there, but it doesn't take up high profile cases anymore lately. [08:12] IsambardPrince There's no point. [08:12] IsambardPrince The US Supreme Court practically gutted what it can do to prevent housing, healthcare, or public service civil rights law. [08:12] IsambardPrince And that's theoretically the same in all States. [08:13] IsambardPrince Nobody wants to test it because nobody wants it going in front of this court so they can do more damage. [08:14] IsambardPrince They like religious exemption, because it gives them the ability to serve only who they will. [08:15] IsambardPrince I don't think anyone has tried to tell black customers to get out lately. [08:15] IsambardPrince But really, what stops them? [08:15] IsambardPrince All they have to do is articulate that black people are against their religion and that's that. [08:15] IsambardPrince And a religion can be anything really, according to the government. [08:15] IsambardPrince So we've ended up where you can do a lot and just say it's your religion. [08:16] IsambardPrince If Trump gets another Supreme Court appointment, it could get worse. [08:17] IsambardPrince It would get worse even if their token black guy, Thomas, died, and Trump replaced him. [08:17] IsambardPrince Because it would mean another 50 years with someone as bad as him. [08:17] IsambardPrince Trump says that quality isn't the goal with judges, they want to get someone 30 or 40 on the bench so you have to live with them for 50 years. [08:18] IsambardPrince It locks all of their policies in place for half a century. [08:18] IsambardPrince Worse, it's somewhere where the public can't do anything about them with an election. [08:19] IsambardPrince We've seen that with the judges in Texas, Louisiana, the Fifth Circuit. [08:19] IsambardPrince It's gotten very bad, and you look at who appointed them. [08:19] IsambardPrince Trump Trump Trump [08:19] *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed) [08:19] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights [08:20] IsambardPrince The Democrats did a horrible job with the judges. [08:20] IsambardPrince They could have appointed at least 30 more if they scheduled more days on the Senate calendar. [08:21] IsambardPrince The Republicans are back and they scheduled a full calendar. [08:21] IsambardPrince Well it's obvious what they're doing. I mean, the Democrats were taking months off, back to back, not even concerned at all that this might happen. [08:21] IsambardPrince Then at the last minute, they tried to cram. [08:24] IsambardPrince The Democrats make a really shitty party, not just a shitty opposition. [08:24] IsambardPrince They're already talking about working with Trump, instead of crashing his presidency into the rocks with the Republican playbook. [08:28] IsambardPrince There's been no organized movement by the left to take over the Democrat Party because what pulled off the TEA Party and Trump waves was fascism. [08:28] IsambardPrince And fascism in the sense where the corporations and the government are pretty much the same thing. [08:28] IsambardPrince So they had the money to pull that off.
