Build a list of legislators who are voting against universal healthcare. Shame them in the public arena.

Were you even alive back then? Because universal healthcare was absolutely not popular with the majority voters at the time. It's only in recent years that it has gotten popular, and Obamacare is arguably a major factor in the shift in public opinion.

I like that SmartyPants releases the Smarty Shorts during the other week.

The COVID lockdowns were absolutely necessary. However, it's extremely weird that you're downplaying them as minor inconveniences.

Add in parents who couldn't handle being responsible for their kids 247, instead of dumping them off 5 days a week at taxpayer funded daycare (schools).

Schools close in the summer and most parents handle it fine. It's a huge difference when the kids can't see their friends, can't go anywhere and still have to try to complete school work. We still haven't made up the academic losses from the pandemic yet. 

As a contributing member of a healthy society, you have to make some personal, small sacrifices on occasion for the good of the whole, civilized society.

It wasn't a small sacrifice. It was huge. 

Again, the lockdowns were absolutely worth the alternative of thousands of more people dying of COVID. But it absolutely wasn't some sort of minor inconvenience.

Going by the comments, I'm like 90% sure OP is a bot.

Why do they draw Sarada like that??

Why waste time on a bill that you know is going to fail? He knew what did and didn't have the votes to pass. He did the best he could with the Congress that he had.

If they were one on one battles, it would be Wrex, Samara or Jack. Jack's and Samara's biotics are two powerful in one vs one for most, Wrex has biotics and Krogan durability though, so he'll be tough to beat one on one.

But it's hard to tell in a battle royal situation. You might have several people team up to eliminate the biggest threats (Wrex, Samara and Jack) early on, and they'll struggle again multiple extremely powerful opponents. If the battle stretches out to days, EDI and Legion have clear advantages as not needing food, water and sleep.

He didn't have the votes for universal healthcare.

Is Drummond hurt?

There was a whole article about it.

Too be fair, how often is there a relevant ghost story during spooky season that baseball writers can cover?

JDDJS

Definitely not Cracker Barrel. 

JDDJS

Nah, that's unacceptable.

The buyout eliminated tradable stocks that could be shorted though, and the stocks were bought at a high price as part of the buyout.

Madden NFL alone can keep EA alive. The Saudis bought it to boost their role in eSports and they want long term revenue streams outside of oil. The plan is definitely not to declare bankruptcy.

The company that buys the IP might not be the ones to make the next game though. They might decide to license it out to a different company to make it. 

JDDJS

That's a company, not a franchise.

Hilariously there's an ad for Modern Warfare 4 right above this for me.

I also don't get the sentiment that Mass Effect works best as a trilogy and should be left there. They  established such an interesting universe. Why wouldn't you want to see more stories set in that universe?

So every female character should be like Tsunade and hide their age?

Plenty of Reapers did die in the war regardless of the end choice.
