That really bother you?
The one where people think that while engaging in illegal activities, if the other party is an undercover cop, if you ask them that they have to announce that they in fact are.

people have to be mirandarized the second they are arrested. people have to answer cops questions. if you have nothing to hide you should cooperate with cops and not care if they search your shit. cops know all the laws and don’t just make shit up to fuck with you.
pretty much anything to do with people not knowing laws and taking cops word for it.

George Washington was the first president of the united states…
not… 8th // sorta
Washington was the first president of the United States under the Constitution of 1789… but the United States declared its independence 13 years before that. In 1777, the Congress adoped the Articles of Confederation, which were ratified by the states in 1781. Later that year, this new legislative body convened and elected John Hanson “President of the United States in Congress Assembled.” Hanson had been a member of the Maryland assembly and the Continental Congress, where he played a key role in convincing Maryland to adopt the Articles of Confederation (Maryland was the only state opposed.) Washington sent Hanson a letter of congratulations on his “appointment to fill the most important seat in the United States.”

George Washington _was_ the first president of the United States. He was not the 8th president of the continental congress. See now that doesn’t have to bother you any more.

I did some work at a Toyota plant in mississippi. They were using a mix of US based product suppliers and international including their own. The cool thing was that they were building a steel plant next door for the raw material supply. The chassis and sheetmetal are now american made with american steel. Engines and transmissions were made in various other US based plants as well. Employees were 90% american.
Aside from the company itself, one could argue and compare that the “american” car you bought is just as “import” as your ford, dodge etc.

I know from my Toyota training programs at the dealership they have a lot of American plants now. I was referring more to Geo/Chevy Prisms, Metros, Chevy Aveo(Volt?), the cars bought by American companies rebadged and resold.

Air conditioning and refrigeration systems that just need to be “topped off” or “recharged”.
