It’s dependent on a given state’s terminology. New York, for example, has villages. They’re municipalities that fall within towns, but collectively offer additional services that the town does not. So I could live in the village of Pomona, in the town of Haverstraw, and I’d need to pay taxes to the village and the town separately.

And honestly, your suggestion sounds like we’re trying to trade one evil billionaire dictator for another evil billionaire dictator on the off chance that the new one won’t destroy the global economy as thoroughly. That’s not actually an improvement.

Turns out having fairer labor laws and access to healthcare does a great job of prolonging your life!
I think of myself as the chaos engine that drives the plot forward. Everyone else in the party would just sit and talk plans forever if I wasn’t out here rolling death-saves.

I don’t see doctors rallying against those laws.
The Comedian was based on Peacemaker. The initial pitch was that all of the Watchmen would be DC’s (at the time) recently-acquired Charlton characters. DC nixed the idea, so Moore just tweaked them and renamed them.

I don’t recall a single Republican denouncing the act.
The issue is that he’s only been indicted in New York, and New York abolished the death penalty more than twenty years ago.
The Feds would need to press their own charges if they wanted to pursue the death penalty, which they have not done yet. That’s the laughable part: they’re trying to dictate sentencing before they pressed charges, gathered evidence, or secured a conviction. And the only way to get a death sentence is by unanimous jury vote during sentencing, which, let’s be honest, is going to be very difficult to get rid Luigi.

There’s no hope for these people.
Not every argument has two sides. Some have five sides. Some have one side. Pigeonholing everything into a duality hampers our ability to understand nuance.
But I guess it does make for better television.
Either this comment is also misogynistic as all hell, or my mother was very masculine.
I read about a pilot program in Canada back in the '70s or '80s that found that fewer people on UBI had jobs, but those people who left the workforce were overwhelmingly new mothers and older teens who were still in school.
I don’t know if this is a joke or not. Elden Ring has Ghiza’s Wheel as a weapon and is low-key considered “Dark Souls 4” by many fans.
