Swiss ‘burka ban’ accepted by slim majority
They tried to do this a few years ago and it didn't work out back then. Some of these posters though...
december 21st has passed where are my superpowers?
One suggestion that makes sense is to change the filibuster so that instead of sixty Senators voting to end it, forty Senators should routinely vote to keep it going.
I think a minimum wage bill should be standalone. It shouldn't be part of an omnibus.
It would not make sense as part of an immigration reform package, because that's already going to be a tough sell. To get a higher minimum wage, there would have to be serious concessions to Republicans (such as codifying that undocumented immigrants do not count for future censuses) that Democrats would not want to push.
If Republicans are screwing up, it doesn't mean it's a good thing if Democrats are doing something that's bad but not as bad. If the Yankees show up to a game high, and the Red Sox are drunk, the Red Sox still have a problem.
Much of the Democrats in disarray items in the news comes from analysts who want Democrats to win, and don't want Republicans to get an opportunity.

Prince Harry has a controversial ping-pong history. He used to be a rowdy party dude drinking and tearing up. One time he wore a Nazi costume at a party (https://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/13/w...i-costume.html). Prince William was seen as the responsible one for picking up the water for the layabout kid brother who partied with supermodels and drank up the place.
Then Harry joined the army and had a "Redemption arc" partly in response to all that. And now he's come out the other side marrying Meghan Markle. I'd say Harry is more popular in America than in UK these days. But Harry and Meghan's rebellion against the royal family has a mixed polarizing event there, just like Princess Diana was a popular figure internationally but more divisive at home.

This is how you deal with "problematic" films. You don't lock them away and pretend like they never happened. You air them, you discuss them and you learn from them. You learn to do better in the future.
Watching television is not an activity.
The answer is for sure not locking them away, I liker that TCM will still air them and I have no problem with the talk before the film. I dont think they should be pulled from store selves. I have no problem with someone saying they do not want to watch these films or any film or show or book they find upsetting. That is there right. But I do have a problem with some one telling me I can not watch or read these media. I think people yelling about cancel culture is over done but I am an adult, let me decide what is fine for me to watch and read. Censorship should not happen unless a crime is being committed or encouraged.
The problem is we are judging them through todays lenses. The movies we are making now may not hold up in 50 or 60 years. Maybe in the future they will talk about how violent the movies are or some thing. Things in 2021 are not the same as 1961 and things in 1061 were not the same as 1901 and etc...
Gone with the Wind, Jerry Lewis Asian character in Breakfast at Tiffanys yes they are pretty culture insensitive at best. But I still enjoy these movies. I still enjoy Huck Finn. We should not be judged by what we read or watch.

With Gone with the Wind, it was written to be "Lost Cause", slavery wasn't bad propaganda to promote an idealized version of the innocent South. It has always been problematic, not just by today's lens.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Maybe, but anyway the world would be well short of them both. Regardless of who they are in real life, their existence is fundamentally parasitic and it's an act of living injustice for them to continue as they are and keep the titles and privileges they still have, and that includes Mr. Meghan Markle as well, for all his little rebellions against the crown.

People were absolutely protesting Gone with the Wind back then, even when the the book was released before the movie even started filming. Then all through filming, after it was released, and during it's many rereleases. People don't really think about things like this, but everything in the past that people have a problem with today, there were people having the same problems at the time.
