The #SupremeCourt would allow #EmergencyAbortionCare in ID despite the state’s #AbortionBan, acc/to Bloomberg #Law, which viewed a copy of a not-yet-released opinion that was briefly posted on the court’s website Wed.
“Despite clarity of the #legal issue & the dire need for an answer…,today 6 Justices refuse to recognize the rights #EMTALA protects.…The majority opts, instead, to dismiss these cases. But storm clouds loom….3 Justices suggest…that #States have free rein to nullify #FederalLaw.…& 3 more decline to disagree w/those dissenters on the #merits.…The latter group offers only…that 'petitioners have raised a difficult & consequential argument' about Congress's authority under the Spending Clause.…
“Or maybe we will keep punting on this issue altogether, allowing #chaos to reign wherever lower courts enable #States to flagrantly undercut #FederalLaw, facilitating the suffering of people in need of urgent #medical treatment.”

Seems this is no #Depp/ #Heard-#TVShow.
Are there in the #US different CTRM-Rules in different #States ? And why don't they make Breaks for Food and Beverage ? #Media just overdo it, by commenting every Fart, Donald makes. Too much !
Fads and trends and novelties aren't anything new. The speed and prevalence that they spread today has been propelled because of TikTok and YouTubers and other "social media" either specifically promoting things or generating content in order to capitalize on existing trends. So, when you search the internet or YT for "Stanley Tumbler" because you want to know why it's a thing, content creators can make money off of your curiosity.
Consumerism is certainly a big part of this but there's also something driving us to want to belong to (or not be left out of) a group/trend. And Capitalism is right there hovering over us waiting to take advantage of it and spread the story even further for their own gain.
It's an obvious formula. If you're not in favor of it, how do you propose we deal with it?
Edit: I don't want to speak badly against reusable containers though. This particular one isn't my "cup of tea", so to speak, but refilling a container with (filtered) tap water is vastly better than getting a case of single-use plastic water bottles from the grocery store. The thing is, I don't know why but I feel like the same people collecting these tumblers are the same people who buy bottled water. Consumerism / capitalism / marketing have convinced a lot of Americans that tap water is gross or dangerous. Granted, Flint Michigan and articles like this haven't helped tap water's reputation.
In Walled States, Waning Sovereignty , Wendy Brown reflects on the proliferation of nation-state walls in a time of eroded nation-state sovereignty and intensifying transnational powers unleashed by globalization.
How do walls shore up an imago of sovereign statehood and to what extent do they fortify reactionary national imaginaries? What do the new walls perform symbolically, materially, mentally?
Stanley Tumblers are PEAK Consumerism ( youtu.be )
