Twenty-first Amendment

Read a random definition: Court of Appeals in Cases of Capture

A quick definition of Twenty-first Amendment:

The Twenty-first Amendment is a change to the Constitution that was made in 1933. It got rid of the 18th Amendment, which made it illegal to sell or drink alcohol in the whole country. The Twenty-first Amendment gave the states the power to decide if they wanted to allow alcohol or not.

A more thorough explanation:

The Twenty-First Amendment is a change to the United States Constitution that was ratified in 1933. It ended the national prohibition of alcohol that was established by the Eighteenth Amendment and gave the power to regulate alcohol back to the individual states.

For example, before the Twenty-First Amendment, it was illegal to sell or consume alcohol in the United States. But after the amendment was ratified, states were allowed to decide for themselves whether or not to allow alcohol sales and consumption within their borders. This meant that some states continued to prohibit alcohol, while others allowed it.

The Twenty-First Amendment is important because it shows how the Constitution can be changed to reflect the changing values and needs of society. It also demonstrates the balance of power between the federal government and the states, as it returned the regulation of alcohol to the states.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalgona I just learned about these things. Apparently they’re featured in Squid Game, but I think Squid Game is just a ripoff of the original Mr Beast Games
I learned today the term fight fire with fire comes from the early day of fire fighting when departments would just bulldoze buildings and then burn them in an attempt to stop a fire from spreading. So to stop fire from burning shit they would burn down other buildings in a more violent and destructive way thus lowering the fires moral so much it refuses to spread and work.

that's like basically how wildland firefighting still works
I did wildland and most of the time it was controlled burns but it is pretty funny to imagine doing that in a city/neighborhood.

The Santa Ana winds kinda helped with that because it pushed the fire back to where it had already burned despite the news media saying everything was going to get worse like the idiots they are.
Cant imagine being the guy to be like "hey so to keep your neighbors house from burning down we are going to bulldoze yours and then catch it on fire"
