states have as much sovereignty as isn't explicitly given to the federal government via the constitution
that might have been a word salad just now, but oh well
Which at this point is basically none.
States control what happens inside them, but if the nation has rules that overrule anything. They have to follow them (unless they conflict with the constitution or some other exemptions).
@C1PHER
*"Wasn't the US (and the whole concept of federalism) the idea that each state was a sovereign power?"*
**NO DAMN IT!** The intention was the feds we're one power, the states were another power separate and equal.
MC, I don't think what I said contradicts that
point being, the federal government wasn't meant to rule over all the states like it tends to do now
It's 6 years old, and I haven't had time to read the whole thing to see if it is relevant, but on the off chance anyone is interested I found this

Forget that..... I hate reading.
heh
fair, it is 20 some pages long]
I doubt I'll get through it, but I'll bookmark it
Bro Imma read
its not like I have anything better to do
The constitution of the country limits its power and can only be expanded by the process documented in the constitution. Same process by state
So for instance in AZ they we voted to make services not prone to sales tax. The state can only change that via citizenry vote. Their sovereignty cannot override that (unless the voters are cowards and don't push back on it when attempted. Similar to the federal government, it expands power all the time, but only because the senate doesn't push back. And the senate doesn't push back because senators no longer represent the states soverienty. 17th ammendment should be abolished

Or I guess the lack of praise for diversity is enough
IT's a lose lose. He is only pointing out the multi-culturalism they praise so much. If they attack they are sticking up for the word 'English'. It must be hard for them.
i also saw the recent PJW video
There is a reason why homogenous societies have a higher rate of functioning societies. Multi-culturalism has become a disease among our current day: excessively glorified.
I'm kind of okay with that. Not because of the profanity or anything, but because using millennial slang in a remotely professional setting should be shamed like no other.
The real question is what was it?
man, I never understand people being super unprofessional in professional settings
in my office, we all swear like sailors, but the second that we're in a phone conversation or email chain with a customer, we're as professional as possible
I've literally had a client get pissed at me, quoting part of my email back at me and writing "lol" as their entire message and I just don't get it
I've noticed companies putting language into their ads lately that I would have never seen or heard ten years ago
