Try it! Might be good, but doesn’t ring any bells. May take some experimenting.

As long as it has all been cooked, it should keep for a while. Might lose potency since herbs tend to be pretty volatile.

As an example, UW Madison which has a fairly large and profitable athletics program generated 12 million in profit last year. They aren’t the largest athletics program in the country, but it is bigger than many. Sits around the middle.

The patents and IP owned by the university provided $134 million in grants and support. Again, the school has a large STEM component, but it isn’t a top tier university. Again, sits around the middle. The organization providing this funding manages its investments carefully and intends to provide this level of funding year after year.

Research departments generated more revenue and the funding is likely more reliable.

It’s sounds like the democracy we have is not the one that you want. That’s fine, it’s also not the one I want. Again, I’d prefer to be able to choose between a range of progressive candidates. But either way they are both still democracies and we should keep on asking for better systems. I disagree that what we have is a completely undemocratic system, that would imply that our system is similar to Russia’s or NK’s and it simply isn’t.

I also want more choices, such as provided by ranked choice voting. However to say that our elections aren’t democratic is far worse of an insult to the sacrifices of the labors of prior generations. Voters may still choose anyone that they want, and that ability to choose is better in our system than it is in many other places in the world. It’s not the best though, and I would like to see us get there. But it is not fair to say that our election (run by the government) is no longer democratic just because an independent 3rd party is now going to register a different person on the ballots than their initial polling suggested.

It would be great if we had a system like that, but we never have and it is not part of the constitution. Political parties have always been allowed to choose any candidate by any means that they want to put on their ticket. They could even choose 2 people, but that would be a bad idea. This will continue to be true as long as we have first past the post elections (and the electoral college). Ranked choice voting would solve some of these problems.

The democratic election happens when we vote for the president. The primaries are basically large state by state polls. No one’s ability to vote was stolen and everyone who votes is still allowed to write in a name if they choose (but that is akin to not voting given our current system).

It’s FFRF lawyers though. They are already working at well below the high salaries that people typically associate with lawyers. They have these jobs because they believe in these causes and are trying to help the public.

Besides, the plantiff wasn’t seeking to cash in on the situation, they just wanted equal rights/benefits to be provided for all religious groups, which it sounds like they got.

I think taxes will get passed to the renters in this case. I remember in econ 101 that for inelastic goods (such as housing) there’s a way to calculate how much of a tax will get passed to the consumer (i.e. Renter). The more inelastic the demand, the more the tax is paid by the consumer because they don’t really have a choice. Raising taxes would probably just drive rents up and possibly make more people homeless or forced to choose worse living options (e.g. Domestic violence would likely increase).

Maybe this approach is meant to avoid this problem. It probably creates other problems though. But better shouldn’t be the enemy of good. The problem needs to be solved because using real estate as investment vehicles is destroying the financial futures of young generations.

The same source shows that Biden is up 2% since the 3rd, and a bit more over the past 10 days.

That’s from July 3rd…

This one?

Show Biden behind, but not down to 20%. Why lie about that?

We know repubs project, a lot, so does this mean that repubs are illegally voting in droves?

He’s the Pope, he’s literally the head of the world’s largest group of people regularly practicing the lack of critical thinking.

Lizards are cold blooded though, would their pee be warm?

It is my understanding that the statues that he’s being charged under do not depend on the classification of the documents. The problem is that the documents belonged to the government and were not returned upon multiple requests. Therefore, even if the documents were declassified, which they were not, the same charges could still be brought against him.

If you want a president that cares more about Americans than America, then you’ll love Joe Biden. If we compare republican to Democrat options of the past, you’d have to go back to Bush senior before you could even find a competitor to Biden. Before that, I think you’re back to Eisenhower.

Biden does the best he can, but the president’s powers are limited. Even when he tries to exercise them faithfully, he’s stopped by the republican supreme court.

To reduce those complex issues to single sentence, overly simplified questions is willfully disengenous.
