Tax money that was authorized for the infrastructure should be used on the infrastructure.

No.

But not doing routine drug testing is not ignoring these infants and not treating them at all as the thread title misleadingly suggests.

Right. Limiting drug testing is not ignoring infants and not treating them at all as the thread title wrongfully suggests.

Thread title is incorrect that "Boston Hospital Will Now Ignore Infants Born With Drugs in Their System" That makes it sound like the infants won't be treated at all. The change has to do with what is being reported to the state.

No, Tim. The customer doesn't make their own pizza, but they do custom order the ingredients on it, which is not the same thing.

You aren't but the mods (or mod) should restrict the flooding of this board every day with multiple trans-bashing threads in which the only purpose is to stir up LGBTQ hatred.

Maximum Overkill, aka League Champion, just can't help himself. And weird thread title, as aren't all victims of mass shootings considered "innocent normal people"?

About "Gays Against Groomers" https://www.advocate.com/news/gays-against-groomers-exposed Gays Against Groomers Is Not a Grassroots Organization: Report A new report pulls aside the curtain and reveals the background of those working to spread anti-LGBTQ+ hatred using the hate account Gays Against Groomers. The founder of Gays Against Groomers, Jaimee Michell, and her partners are former ultra-MAGA Trump followers who spread anti-transgender propaganda with QAnon conspiracy theories and links to extremist militias, according to a Media Matters for America investigation published last week. In response to accusations that it spreads homophobia and transphobia, GAG claims that, as a “coalition of gay people,” it and its members cannot possibly spread anti-LGBTQ+ propaganda. Furthermore, they claim that any attack on the group is homophobic. However, GAG is not a grassroots initiative but a right-wing project seeking to gain political and financial advantage by using anti-trans rhetoric, according to the left-leaning media watchdog. GAG was formed last year “to protect the kids” from “sexualization, indoctrination, and medicalization,” Michell claims, and it has gained prestige in right-wing circles along with Chaiya Raichik’s Libs of TikTok, which also attacks the LGBTQ+ community. Both have promoted the use of the anti-LGBTQ+ slur “groomer.” Media Matters found that GAG isn’t Michell's first venture in far-right social media circles. She was a prolific MAGA Twitter user in 2016 and 2017, often peddling QAnon conspiracy theories. During the 2020 election cycle, she frequently corresponded with Ali Alexander, the “Stop the Steal” founder. During a "Stop the Steal" rally in November of that year in Washington, D.C., Michell claimed the presidential election had been stolen. Michell was listed as a contact for the Wisconsin "Stop the Steal" rally using the online alias “TheGayWhoStrayd.” During the January 6 insurrection, Michell posted support for the rioters on Instagram and Telegram, including reposting extremist Milo Yiannopoulos’s content. Michell has engaged in continuous right-wing grievance culture online, complaining about everything from mitigation measures surrounding the global pandemic to mocking the killing of George Floyd, Media Matters reports.

He also said in the same speech to that crowd: https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-trump-us-capitol-remarks-221518bc174f9bc3dd6e108e653ed08d AP FACT CHECK: Trump’s call to action distorted in debate THE FACTS: Trump’s speech was a call to action — a call to fight and save the country. “Our country has had enough,” he told those who went on to stage the violent siege of the Capitol. “We will not take it anymore and that’s what this is all about. To use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal.” — “We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” — “We want to go back, and we want to get this right because we’re going to have somebody in there that should not be in there and our country will be destroyed, and we’re not going to stand for that.” — “Nobody knows what the hell is going on. There’s never been anything like this. We will not let them silence your voices. We’re not going to let it happen. Not going to let it happen.” The crowd repeatedly chanted “Fight for Trump!” “Thank you,” Trump said. He assailed “weak,” “pathetic” Republicans who were not standing with him in his push to overturn the election results, and said “there’d be hell all over the country” if Democrats had been robbed of an election win. [...] “So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue,” he concluded after more than an hour. He didn’t walk, but they did, bearing Trump flags, overwhelming police and occupying the Capitol in an hours-long melee that left five people dead and exposed Trump to the impeachment charge of inciting an insurrection.

You can't answer the simple questions I have posed.

100% and Trump had nothing at all to do with it. Yeah, right.

I understand there is obviously something else going on with this company that resulted in the closure of 22 stores in other states (that was not related to the $20 an hour minimum wage) ant that you have been unable to explain.

Neither was the Jan 6 attempted insurrection.

All you ensured was that you would get asked some logical questions you can't seem to answer, like: Why are the other 53 locations in California remaining open despite the oppressive wage increase? What was behind the closure of the 22 stores in other states? (Hint: not a $20 an hour minimum wage).

I live in Southern California and see people bringing their own bags all the time to the market (I always bring my own bags).

What caused the 22 restaurants to close in the other states? Obviously not the $20 an hour minimum wage (so the wages may just be a convenient excuse to mask bad corporate decisions, like maybe choosing bad locations). And Mod Pizza has 58 total restaurants in California, so the other 53 apparently are profitable enough to keep open despite this oppressive wage increase. https://www.scrapehero.com/location-reports/Modpizza-USA/

Meh.

No, almost all of it is right.

Oh, the irony.

Perhaps she has some allergies, and a mask can block some of the allergen particles in the air.
