Is the owner allowed to write off food donations like this?
I will gladly get fired over doing what is morally right. But anyway, the guy said he was going to pay the other guys food. π€·
In this particular case, the server offered to pay for the meal, rather than give it for free.
in what way? Always? Through tax write offs? Through begging? Charity?
Such an ignorant statement made with such authority π
Homelessness is just as criminalized in blue states. Welcome to capitalism lol
I just found out that right after that 2017 Las Vegas shooting, the trump administration banned on a federal level this accessory that allows semi-automatic weapons to fire faster. Then THIS YEAR that ban was reversed. So, I guess my point is that we would like life to be more of a black and white complexity on issues (or, red and blue as it were), but often times it's not that simple. Sometimes the people you think are here to protect your views are the ones attacking them.
I'm sure from republican point of view they probably felt betrayed that a republican administration pushed for a (small) form of gun reform. And I know that I feel betrayed that a democrat administration pushed to repeal that ban.
But sometimes it's two hands of opposing sides coming together to give everybody the middle finger.
I guess you can feel a little less betrayed.

Hmm.
I think that this isn't actually of massive significance, looking at this summary:

That is, it sounds like the argument was over whether the ATF was granted authority by Congress under the GCA to issue such a ban, rather than whether the GCA passed constitutional muster.
I mean, okay, it has an impact, but it isn't really on par with cases evaluating whether law is in conformance with the First Amendment.
Either way, it certainly wasn't a Democratic administration pushing for them to be unbanned.
Fair enough.
