Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo wrote:Today, we face an economy that’s in transition, and as part of that transition, we are seeing high prices for some of the things that people have to buy. That’s exactly why the president was focused in the American Rescue Plan in ensuring that we got stimulus into the hands of the American people so they’d be able to buy the products that they need. But the reality is that the only way we’re going to get to a place where we work through this transition is if everyone in America and everyone around the world gets vaccinated. That’s why the president continues to be focused on the idea that we get everyone who can vaccinated in this country. And then, while we’re doing that, we continue to provide the kind of resources the American people need to make it to the other side.

I saw a goofy headline from the Atlantic, "The Second Amendment Has Become a Threat to the First Amendment," and that made me wonder -- does the Second Amendment amend the First Amendment? And then the Third amends the First and Second? And so on? That would be how it works, right

in general no. unless it's clear that an amendment is intended to modify a previous amendment, courts will give effect to both. For example, the 14th amendment gives Congress the power to enforce equality under the law by 'appropriate legislation', but that does not mean congress can ignore the bill of rights when using the 14th amendment enforcement power.

for example, the 21st amendment says "The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or Possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.", but scotus held that this does not give states power to violate the commerce clause

yeah if you slot the 13th ammendment in slot 2 and the 21st ammendment in slot 1 on the original hardware you can actually clip out of bounds and bypass judicial review entirely

Here's something fun. Apparently the Mcauliffe campaign asked some reporters to quash a story and included a Fox editor by mistake.

But there's nothing to see here. There's absolutely no suggestion here that everyone is playing on the same team, or anything.

Apologies, I've read a couple of stories about this, and one of them had more details. I can't find the bloody thing though.

No they were asking one another internally how they can get the story killed, and they accidentally replied with one of these to the reporter

I have a hard time seeing Facebook competing with Roblox and Fortnite but they certainly have the money to throw at something until they can force it down everyone's throats. Oculus is a great entry point for their metaverse but the adoption rate for Oculus is still really small compared to Facebook users overall. IMO they picked some really bad content to showcase what sort of things will be possible, and played way too hard into "your avatar is literally you" which is still decades away from being a reality.

What they should have done is showcased the actual value of the metaverse rather than just a VR-chat clone. They could have gone to a virtual concert together, then hit up virtual Disney World and played the Buzz Lightyear ride, etc.

Right? Like I can imagine this could be cool but if it's Facebook running it I'm certainly not going to be an early adopter. If the prophecy is fulfilled and this becomes huge I will grudgingly consider.
