Probably because if Obama did it, he wouldn't just spew whatever crosses his mind while he's taking his fourth deuce of the morning, but would actually put thought into what he wanted to communicate and how it would affect the office, the nation, and our strategic interests. There is zero evidence that Trump puts any thought into his "direct communication" other than how to best rile up his equally unthinking base.
A "bug" is defined culturally, not scientifically...
100% False. Bugs are a specific order of insects whose defining characteristic is a particular arrangement of sucking mouthparts. Examples include tree-hoppers, box elder bugs, and stink bugs.
Agreed - and I think you'll find that the primary difference is how each industry aligns with the current administration's objectives. Those that don't align are subjected to scrutiny. Those that do aren't.
And why exactly do you think people have shorted Tesla? My guess is because the stock is incredibly overvalued (to the point that even Elon Musk has said its valuation is ridiculous), and that their metrics indicate a company with a high risk of failure.
Given that what is being enacted is an extension of the free transit to outlying towns, it seems unlikely to have the same impact. How many people walk from one town to another in any place, let alone a country on the Baltic sea with awful winters?
If there was work to be had in farming the land, the people would not be leaving the countryside. But worldwide, farming has been incredibly automated and consolidated, so the work simply not there any more. The same thing is plainly visible in rural areas throughout the US.
I don't think you'll find a single BLM supporter who thinks that only abuse of black people needs to end. If you take the time to look into what they actually advocate, you'll find that they back reforms in the criminal justice system that are in keeping with general principles of human rights and liberty, and would benefit people of all races. But those problems are borne disproportionately by black people and black communities, who are too often told through the actions of the police, courts, and their fellow citizens that their lives *don't* matter in a way that white people (and asians, for that matter, and latinos to a lesser degree) simply don't face.
Saying "Black LIves Matter" isn't exclusionary of other races, it's just pointing out a fact...
In an exclusionary way.
In a way that refers to the many ways our society, and specifically within the justice system, demonstrates that black lives don't matter, at least not as much as others.
It's hard to believe you feel excluded
It’s not a feeling. I am excluded.
You are excluded from the assumption that you are doing something nefarious simply by being in a public space. You are excluded from the worst abuses of a police force that often views the black people they should be protection as enemies. You are excluded from laws that specifically hit black communities harder than white communities.
there's no way BLM should be offensive or controversial to you.
It’s not "offensive or controversial", it’s just one race caring about themselves to the exclusion of everyone else.
It's one race pointing out that they are being excluded from the basic levels of respect and freedom promised to ALL Americans.
Would a white lives matter club be a problem?
A problem? Not really. But incredibly dumb, because white people are no faced with inequality due to their pigmentation, whereas black people objectively and obviously do.
While "Octopuses" is acceptable, Octopodes is correct. Octopi, as you rightly note, is equivalent to saying that because the plural of "goose" is "geese", that the plural of "moose" is "meese".
Yeah, an hour is a short wait for a doctor in a clinic with no appointment in the US. Really, really short. And you don't get to see a doctor in the ER until the triage nurse says you can. My brother went to the ER with massive abdominal pain (turned out to be kidney stones) and was waiting for three hours before anyone even looked at him. That's what's typical.
Capitalism has worked well in the US for many years... until FDR came about. Since, it hasn't existed.
Given how much better the standard of living has been since FDR compared with before, you can either argue that we haven't had capitalism since FDR, or that capitalism has worked well. Not both.
The recent introduction of a $15/hr minimum wage has impacted employment negatively.
From the article:
"In particular, to avoid confusing establishments that were subject to the minimum with those that were not, the authors did not include large employers with locations both inside and outside of Seattle in their calculations. Skeptics argued that omission could explain the unusual results."
And they were not successful, because the courts don't work like that. It was only after they reclassified ISPs from Information Services (which the courts consistently ruled are not subject to FCC regulation) to Common Carriers that the outcome changed. They didn't wear down the courts, they read the courts' rulings and changed their approach to fit.
Calling something X when it obviously isn't similar to other objects called X isn't good science.
I assume, then, that you will be calling for the demotion of Earth, given how dissimilar it is from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune - you know, the "real" planets.
So very much this. We don't come up with arbitrary reasons to not classify new species as beetles or ants or whatever because "that would lead to too many things being called beetles". However many there are is how many there are.
Like the one it does not apply to other solar system. That one is frankly stupid , change the grammar to "its star" and bam, problem solved (and frankly when I read the definition the first time I read it that way too).
Why does the orbit matter at all when discussing whether an object is a planet or not? Triton orbits the opposite direction of every major moon in the solar system. We don't say it's not a moon. And who decides what's big enough compared to the rest? Pluto is a lot closer in size to Earth than Earth is to Jupiter. Why is Earth considered to be the same thing as Jupiter but an entirely different thing than Pluto?

1) Pill bugs aren't bugs. They're woodlice. In fact, they are more closely related to lobster than to any insect, including bugs.
2) All bugs do have wings, as do most insects.

The project is funded through philanthropic donations ...
This seems like a pretty expansive view of what the term "philanthropic" means.

A problem? Not really. But incredibly dumb, because white people are no faced with inequality due to their pigmentation, whereas black people objectively and obviously do.
But we don't use that because we are speaking ENGLISH, in which the correct plural is "Octopuses."
Merriam-Webster disagrees.
While "Octopuses" is acceptable, Octopodes is correct. Octopi, as you rightly note, is equivalent to saying that because the plural of "goose" is "geese", that the plural of "moose" is "meese".
All the rest of Nevada, too.
Just FYI - your link is two years old. Cannabis is already legal in Las Vegas.
That should be handled directly with anti-trust proceedings, not like this.

It's included because those dollars are in fact spent, and do in fact end up in people's pockets.

That's ... not how courts work. At all.

That doesn't mean they can't learn a thing or two from extra-solar scientists.
So very much this. We don't come up with arbitrary reasons to not classify new species as beetles or ants or whatever because "that would lead to too many things being called beetles". However many there are is how many there are.

Which still leaves out rogue planets.
