A big factor is that Michigan has looser trucking laws. I have heard some civil planing doesn't even consider cars for road life. Allowing bigger heavier trucks moving very fast really tear up roads.
The defense argument is that there was no sex, so the payments to Michael Cohen were not hush money but legal feels and Cohen acted independently. So arguing there was no sex supports their defense.
It's stupid and not what happened.
It's not like they are advertising specific mine placement. They showed pictures about trenches, anti-vehicles barriers, gates, etc. This stuff isn't hidden, a guy with a camera at the border could spot everything, let alone aerial or satellite imagery. It's about hardening the border and slowing down invaders. Then you layer it with more complex defense systems to support the static defense.
Just create another social media platform and only give the wealthy access so the poor don't feel bad. Call it like Yacht Club or Gaited Community or something.
I think the biggest factor is pressure. A person would put their full weight down because they don't know the snake is there. This would probably hurt the snake and warrent a panic/significant response. I doubt the fake foot was applied with the same pressure because ethical reasons.
Oh boy do I have news. God agreed with you and in 2010 "Touchdown Jesus" was struck by lightning and burned down. They replaced it with a more traditional version. Personally I liked the orgional more.
There is alot of room for bias here. Is the fake foot a realistic proxy of an orgional? Can the snake recognize the difference? You don't fistfight a book or other object falling onto you. Would a snake bite a rock that shifted onto it when it bumps into it?
How much pressure is the fake foot applying? A person accidentally stepping on a snake would apply their whole weight because they didn't know it was there. Likely hurting the snake and warrenting a more significant and immediate response. I doubt the fake foot was applying the same force because of ethical reasons.
Edit: Phrasing
Did the tree get weirdly wider at the hand section or was it carved from a seperate tree and placed on the stump? The hand is much wider than the narrower trunk.
Correct, it doesn't work. Which is why the justification is stupid and there should be stricture regulations to prevent conflict of interest.
The justification people use is that allowing them to profit through "normal/legal" channels prevents them from taking bribes or seeking other forms of income.
Absolutely disgusting and boils down to the same thing. Very effective at preventing corruption too (/s). A normal person would be jailed.
Edit: Some words.
Put it in the orgional Hebrew.
Carful, this deleted comment might resurface!
Mine doesn't sound like anything but I can change the cadence or accent. Like it doesn't make the "noise" as hearing. Like it bypasses those "channels".
I think the big part of it is the required time it takes to be considered competent. Like for arguments sake lets throw out cost of education. The amount of time and effort it takes to be considered a competent surgan is hundreds of times longer than training a competent burger flipper.
Even with grilling there is different skill levels. A professional chef/smoker takes a long time to hone their art.
I think everyone should be paid a living wage, but when people throw trained professionals that require years of experience in with cashiers or fast food cooks it really subtracts from their argument.
We should be trying to elevate all jobs to a living wage while recognizing some jobs are just harder. Otherwise no one will listen.
I agree that all jobs need some training, but I think the termology is the real enemy. Like yes a cashier needs training but is it comparable to what is considered "skilled labor/trades" like qualified electriction, plumbers, welders, engineers, etc?
I think everyone should make a living wage and think the terminology is definitely used to oppress and divide but whenever I see these arguments it really feels like people don't see a distinction between the amout of work/time it takes to be competent in these jobs.
So the neighborhood doesn't look like a getto full of people too poor to keep their boats in the marina like decent fokes.
There was a post/meme asking women if they would prefer to be alone in a forest with a bear or male stranger. Idk if a real poll or what, but I have seen it saying most women prefer the bear. People came out of the woodwork talking about how dangerous bears are and asking why are they afraid of strange men to the point they started proving why women would would pick the bear.
Edit: wording
Person being crushed is protestors/dissenters that is being crushed by a large oppresive whale (police/media/counter protestors) for speakingout against the whale. Other person comes allong to help, raises their voice, and is told to "keep things civil" as if they are the instigators, while the whale is maliciously using its weight to stiffle the oppressed.
Basically the norms and establishment of society is large and unwieldy and can crush any oppsition with no way of retaliation. And if somone points it out, dispite being equally small and cannot truly harm the whale, they are the ones out of line and instigators.
