| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Same reason why abortion is still legal 40 years later and with a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. | Jan 16 00:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They don't want to overrule Roe. They can keep running against it forever as long as it's there. | Jan 16 00:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They'd be overturning one of the biggest reasons people vote for them. Lucy and the football. | Jan 16 00:00 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Even if they overruled Roe v. Wade, abortion would still be legal in over 20 states. | Jan 16 00:01 |
| schestowitz | XRevan86: is he about to give birth? | Jan 16 00:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We'd be about where we are now because red states have regulated abortion clinics so much that most of them don't even have one and you have to drive 4-5 hours to another state. | Jan 16 00:01 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC[m]: so people are voting the republicans into power to do something they will never do because then those people would have no reason to vote for republicans anymore? | Jan 16 00:01 |

| schestowitz | combinatorics | Jan 16 00:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Federal Reserve should just let the interest rate float at market rates regardless of what will happen immediately, because "intervention" causes more damage in the long term. Trying to set interest rates to speed up or slow down the economy chokes off legitimate borrowing and causes recessions in response to the low interest rates you used to entice people to borrow and spend in the first place, which got dumped | Jan 16 00:25 |

| DaemonFC[m] | To try to suggest the Fed isn't (1) heavily politicized or (2) is making healthy long term decisions is ridiculous. They're stuffed with Trump people who are addicting the market to low interest rates to get him re-elected with a "paper recovery" that will be a complete wipeout later. | Jan 16 00:26 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: There was someone speculating that if a person in Congress was convicted of a crime, they could stay out of jail for at least as long as their term had left on it by furnishing their office and just living in it. | Jan 16 01:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some members of Congress do that anyway. There are a few that aren't rich enough to maintain an apartment in DC away from their district. | Jan 16 01:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But it's so embarrassing to have a convicted criminal in Congress that it hasn't happened. | Jan 16 01:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they plead guilty, they get expelled from Congress pretty quickly. | Jan 16 01:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I suppose for a minor crime they might get away with a censure, but most of them that have actually been expelled for refusing to resign were taking bribes, having sex with kids, and stuff like that. | Jan 16 01:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They didn't forget to pay a speeding ticket or something. | Jan 16 01:14 |
| Hail_Spacecake | if everyone in congress agreed it was a serious crime they could be expelled | Jan 16 01:19 |
| Hail_Spacecake | if only one faction agreed that their crime was actually serious they could refuse to vote to do so | Jan 16 01:19 |
| <--openJ__ has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) | Jan 16 01:31 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | It takes a supermajority, but in most cases removing a member who has been very naughty is easy because the rest of their party abandons them and strips them of their committee assignments until the vote to expel can proceed. | Jan 16 01:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They didn't get around to expelling James Trafficant for a while, but he remained a member of the House with no committee assignments and no right to vote on anything until they removed him. | Jan 16 01:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The reason it takes a supermajority is so that a simple majority vote after each election wouldn't start expelling members of the other party for no reason. | Jan 16 01:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What we're seeing with the filibuster shows that they probably would. | Jan 16 01:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only reason nobody has gone after the filibuster on legislation is because the filibuster on legislation is legislation, not just a Senate rule. | Jan 16 01:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The result of the Byrd Rule (the law that implements the Senate legislation filibuster) is that everyone threatens a filibuster on everything major and then the Senate switches immediately to other business. | Jan 16 01:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then when the budget bill for the year happens, everyone tries to stick everything on it and see what the Parliamentarian allows. | Jan 16 01:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Parliamentarian has to figure out if it has an effect on the federal budget. If it doesn't, it can't be on the budget bill. | Jan 16 01:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If it has a negative effect on revenue, they have to make it revenue neutral (usually using a gimmick that doesn't do that at all). | Jan 16 01:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | *deficit-neutral | Jan 16 01:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They also can't touch issues that were passed with a 60 vote majority the first time around. | Jan 16 01:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's crazy. | Jan 16 01:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why they had all of these idiotic partial Obamacare repeal bills that would have made everything worse. | Jan 16 01:40 |
| MinceR | :> | Jan 16 01:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: So they had this great idea. | Jan 16 01:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Let's just repeal all the parts that everyone hates. | Jan 16 01:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The part everyone hated was the fine to the IRS if they didn't have insurance. 40% support. | Jan 16 01:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Okay, the Medicaid expansion had support like 72%, the subsidies and exchanges were fairly popular, most of the individual items are pretty popular. | Jan 16 01:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So what happened? They ensured that the people who were complaining about paying a fine just go "Meh!" while all of the people who get insurance through the law love it. | Jan 16 01:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They made repeal pretty difficult in the future because lots of people are getting an entitlement and nobody is paying fines. | Jan 16 01:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: They painted themselves into a corner though. | Jan 16 01:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they did go ahead and repeal the fine, there'd be less support for repealing the entire law later. | Jan 16 01:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they didn't do anything, their voters would say "I'm still paying this fucking fine! Why aren't you doing anything?" and disappear on them in the next election. | Jan 16 01:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they were actually forced to make Obamacare more popular to avoid facing the wrath of voters who voted for them because they were being fined. | Jan 16 01:49 |
| MinceR | :> | Jan 16 01:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The funny part is that Obama didn't want a fine in the first place because he said it would make some people angry, then they gave him a law with the fine, he signed it, and the Democrats started facing the wrath of the voters immediately. | Jan 16 01:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But Obama himself held on. | Jan 16 01:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then he ended up spending the remaining 6 years turning to a regulatory agenda. | Jan 16 01:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Republicans were in Congress and they weren't passing more of his laws, so he started having agencies pass as many regulations as possible. Most weren't intended to stick. They were just designed to be so awful that when a Republican president won, he'd have to turn his attention to reversing them all. | Jan 16 01:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Regulations are just as difficult to reverse as they were to come up with, so most presidents go after a few and then give up. | Jan 16 01:53 |

| MinceR | instead of making their main product better, they're making it worse | Jan 16 21:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And apparently it didn't bring in enough revenue to matter. | Jan 16 21:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If anything it chased away more users and made their search royalties go down. | Jan 16 21:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR I strongly opposed the idea of making WebkitGTK render jpeg2000. The patents are probably not a concern, but the code is. | Jan 16 21:22 |

| MinceR | how so? | Jan 16 21:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR I proposed making the user agent report Google Chrome globally since everyone is now anyway. | Jan 16 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That would have stopped akamai and friends from assuming Safari and oh we'll just send jpeg2000. | Jan 16 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Right now everyone thinks we're Safari and that's not much better. If anything it's worse. | Jan 16 21:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because sites will try sending you dmg files and shit even though Linux and Epiphany are also in the UA. | Jan 16 21:25 |
| MinceR | i wonder if crApple can force jpeg2000 on people the way they forced h.264 | Jan 16 21:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Jpeg2000 isn't as bad. | Jan 16 21:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If anyone actually fixed the reference software, it's not like it's a patent threat anymore. | Jan 16 21:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Gecko and Blink don't support it, so it's not generally used. | Jan 16 21:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But some caching servers use it to save bandwidth if they think you have Safari. | Jan 16 21:27 |
