“[I]f we won’t choose to pay the price of liberty, then by default we shall suffer the cost of servitude -- whether it be the iron chains of a tyrannical oligarchy or the regulatory chains of unelected, faceless bureaucrats. When we witness our neighbors abused by tyrants, will we skulk away and hope we’re not next? Or will we stand by them and challenge -- as freedom-loving Americans -- the tyranny of lawless leaders.”

"Mr. Tesla": Der Wechsel von Brandenburgs Ex-Wirtschaftsminister Steinbach zur Tesla-Kanzlei CMS ist schon an sich problematisch. Doch das Verhalten der Landesregierung in der Sache ist es mindestens ebenso. Gut, dass @fragdenstaat.de jetzt Klage eingereicht hat!
Hintergrund der Klage ist die Weigerung der Potsdamer Staatskanzlei, klare Auskünfte dazu zu geben, wie sie solche Seitenwechsel von ehemaligen Mitgliedern der Landesregierung prüft und warum sie im Fall Steinbach erst grünes Licht gab, dann aber doch eine vorläufige Untersagung aussprach.
Brandenburg hat ein Gesetz, das regelt, wie mit Interessenkonflikten umgegangen wird, die beim Wechsel aus Regierungsämtern zu Unternehmen und Verbänden bestehen könnten. Bis zu 2 Jahre kann die Landesregierung die Aufnahme neuer Tätigkeiten untersagen, wenn dies im Konflikt mit öffentlichen Interessen steht.
1/
Doch die Anwendung dieses Gesetzes erscheint in Brandenburg äußerst merkwürdig. Das Gesetz sieht ein Extra-Gremium vor, das Wechsel prüfen und Empfehlungen aussprechen soll, ob der Wechsel OK ist, unter Auflagen genehmigt wird oder eine Abkühlphase gelten soll.
ieses Gremium gibt es auch, doch die Potsdamer Staatskanzlei scheint sich eine Art Vorprüfungs-Sonderrecht herauszunehmen, welche Fälle es dem Gremium überhaupt vorlegt. Das entkernt Sinn und Zweck der Regelung, so geht es nicht!

A New York appellate court threw out the half-billion-dollar penalty in the civil fraud case against President Trump and others on Thursday, ruling that the fine was "excessive."
One of the judges on the Appellate Division, First Judicial Department wrote that the penalty, known as a disgorgement, against Mr. Trump, two of his sons and other executives and their company was "an excessive fine barred by the Eighth Amendment."
New York appeals court throws out $527 million penalty in Trump civil fraud case
A New York appellate court threw out the $527 million penalty in the civil fraud case against President Trump and others on Thursday, ruling that the fine was "excessive."Graham Kates (CBS News)
In February 2024, a New York judge ordered Mr. Trump and his codefendants to pay the state nearly $364 million in "ill-gotten gains" and millions more in interest dating back years, a total that has since ballooned to about $527 million. Judge Arthur Engoron's judgment left Mr. Trump on the hook for nearly 98% of the total.
The New York attorney general can appeal Thursday's decision to the state's highest court.

I think it’s perfect if you don’t want to know what your salad actually tastes like. Ketchup for salad, basically.

I feel ranch dressing has its place. It's not my first choice, but if I see it on the menu as their "house dressing" I will try it, because I like it made, instead of from a bottle.

I recently shipped, at their request, a dozen packets of powdered ranch dressing to my German friend in Munich because they can't find it there and they love it for dips.

Ok as veggie dip or to dip pizza crusts. Many other dressings I prefer but in a pinch it's ok.
Fav dressings: Red Lobster blue cheese, Olive Garden house salad, grew up on 1000 Island, Catalina is good.

in reply to Ricki Yasha Tarr • • •I was born in Indiana, raised in St. Louis, Omaha, and Kansas City. I find ranch dressing to be an utterly vile, food-ruining subtance.
My excuse is that my parents are not Midwesterners. My father is from rural Oklahoma and my mother is from Mobile, Alabama. I never saw ranch dressing outside of Hidden Valley TV commercials until I moved to Cleveland for college.

I use freshly made Vinaigrette/French dressing on my salad. (Olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar/wine vinegar). takes literally 20 seconds to make.

It certainly isn't bad.

It’s good as a vegetable dip, and that’s about it. I wouldn’t ask for it on a typical salad.

I like it but don’t eat it much anymore except maybe as a dip for fries. I ate a lot of it growing up on salad bar salads. My favorite application was as a dip for fried zucchini.

I enjoy it on salads and as a dip (veggies, fries, ..?).
I live in a community in Calgary called Hidden Valley but I find Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing is terrible.

Yes, I’ve tried ranch dressing and have some in my fridge right now. I neither love it or hate it, but I don’t dislike it. I just didn’t grow up with it. I’m fine with it on a salad, but I think it’s better as a dip for raw carrots, cucumbers, etc.

Yes.
For the typical salad/veggies purposes I'm not a fan. I like it when paired with savory and spicy, but at the same time if I'm, say, in the mood for ranch with wings (my favorite use for it), I'll actively try to get something a fair bit spicier than usual to make sure it's not lost in the sauce but appropriately contrasting.

Tried ranch dressing when I lived in the US.
Not bad, but never felt the need to use it again. Imho its purpose is to mask the taste of not-so-fresh or flavorless salad ingredients.
