There are lot of federal jobs that are very lenient on dress. Not public facing? Sometimes lot of options! Public facing? Might have to wear a uniform but the ability to have visible tattoos and piercings is pretty high. Also options for getting into the public sector without a college degree.

That's pretty fair. My experience (while young) was similar. I am mainly speaking to the racist side of things, that seems to apply to religions including, and outside of, Christianity. At some level, it's like politics. Some folks will vote Democrat because that's what they do, some will because they see that as their best option, and some will be activists within that system to foment change. But politics in USA is not religion if you are left leaning so it is harder with fewer real options. Probably no racists vote for Democrats.

For a party that used to be obsessed about "pork" it it ridiculous. Just pass a budget. Unacceptable. There are jobs, programs, and support networks on the line.

Excellent example.

I'm not sure that religion reigns anyone in. It isn't structured that way from my understanding, leaving too much to interpretation by the leaders. In my experience, exceptionally racist and activist folks are also religious, and use their chosen religion to support and motivate their actions and beliefs. You're right in that people who are good followers of whatever will be more pacifist (you didn't say that exactly but I think that is what you were at), but there aren't that many folks who get deep into scripture. In many religions.

Boeing shouldn't be boosting anything except quality, safety, and employee considerations.

This isn't surprising, anytime we try to rush something we will risk error. I think Kagan's cohort agrees, but the other six justices probably see this as a feature, not a flaw.

This certainly does sound unusual, but having grown up and lived in rural conservative places essentially my entire middle aged life, white locals seem to tolerate a lot of animal abuse that is "executed" by their own. And nothing, or very little, is said 😿 Lots of stories of what happened to trailer park cats.
