I think if people had even more guns this could have been avoided. What if there was a six year old with a 22 there to respond to the gunshots with some of his own? maybe less people would be dead.
Guns make everyone way safer. We need to start providing them in utero.
I think if he dropped N bombs even more people would vote for him. Too many racists.
I don’t really get all the negative press the guy is getting from the left spun media. His supporters aren’t disappearing… instead they’re coming out of the woodwork and showing their true colors that they’ve sworn all along isn’t how they are. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more voters this year than any year before showing up for the biggest asshole to be elected president in my lifetime. Also the only one term president in my lifetime from voters because he is hated that much by the other half.
To so many conservatives racism doesn’t exist. They aren’t against black people or foreigners… but they are literally coming out front and center to be anti-black, especially since the pandemic era BLM protests. Springfield Ohio is just another perfect example of how racism not only exists, but is celebrated by about half the country. It’s just insane that it isn’t even shunned.
My favorite line from the debate was when dumpy said “we have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums and they’re coming and they’re taking jobs that are occupied right now by African Americans and Hispanics” Are you fucking kidding me? Minimum and sub-minimum wage jobs are now “black and hispanic” jobs? That’s what you’re trying to force american citizens into? very low paying, low qol, minimum healthcare roles with no chance of advancement and no hope for a better future. Make america great again and bring back slavery right?
Sorry for the rant, I just can’t believe how monstrous humans can be. There’s just no more rational discourse or anything resembling sane critical thinking anymore in the media. It’s all just outrage fuel and inane distractions. On the left media sites they keep saying it’s doomsday for trump. They said he couldn’t beat Hillary too and she had an even bigger point lead ahead of the election https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_110716/
I feel horrible for the guy and his family. They’ve already weathered a real tragedy, now they get to weather another one that is completely unnecessary and avoidable.
Accidents happen. Spewing hate doesn’t have to.
it’s factored into your total compensation so you’re still the one paying.
I never understand why so many people assume insurance is “free” from the employer or that they pay 0-1000 per week/month. What we see is the tip of the iceberg. Insurance companies are perfectly lucrative and they pay tons and TONS of money to workers that make sure they make as much as possible.
80% of premium revenues must be spent on treatment, the other 20% is what they have to profit off of. If they don’t spend 80% of the premiums on treatment they MUST refund excess earnings. See: https://www.healthcare.gov/health-care-law-protections/rate-review/
This means if they took in 100 billion in premiums in a year, they MUST spend 80 billion dollars on treatments. The 20 billion left over is where they can make money. So they will make sure 4/5ths of everything they make goes into treatment so they never give refunds and they maximize potential profits. If they can convince companies to raise premiums 10% next year, costs will rise 10%, profits will rise 10%. It’s so obviously designed to raise the cost of premiums and treatments at the expense of all else it’s insane.
They also don’t spend a dime over 80% of what they make if they can help it. There’s where claim rejections come in. They have mathematicians figuring out the ideal numbers and those guys make stupid amounts of money.
Ah, here we go. The omitted devil from the details. Of course that will be left out when they talk about getting the kids off the hook.
It is quite fucked up to be guilty by proxy for murder but that’s the law there. I think it should be changed but I have exactly this much influence in alabama’s house and senate:
Headlines are always abysmal at impartially presenting facts.
This happened in 2015. The now ~25 year old kid’s sentence has been reduced to “just” 30 years. https://aldailynews.com/advocates-back-effort-to-amend-alabamas-proximate-cause-murder-law-prosecutors-push-back/
The kids were robbing houses, a neighbor called the cops, the kids bolted when the cops showed up. The cops shot them in the back despite there being no threat to anyone’s life… except those the cops shot at.
How the murder charge isn’t just a case against the cop shooting unarmed teenagers who were committing a crime without any risk to life and limb is astounding.
Kid and his buddies were definitely on the hook for the burglary, sure… but that’s certainly not decades of prison. It’s been ten years now, the kid should have been out of prison at least 9 years ago. Burglary just shouldn’t be a long term sentence for 15 year old children.
The guy rolled up his window when the cops were talking to him. Any normal person would have spent the night in jail if they did the same, and then they would be paying to get their car out of impound, and then maybe their license would have been suspended too.
I’m not saying what they did is right, i’m saying cops in this country are assholes. That’s what we expect them to be. That’s what the policies ask them to be. That’s what their bosses want. It’s what the elected officials who set the laws and guidelines they must follow want. It’s what most very old white people want.
We need real change, we just won’t see it in our lifetime. We’d sooner see another dictator trying to conquer the world and committing genocidal acts than do anything to address the police problem here. Nowadays cops are just legalized bullies, just the way the ownership wants.
order corn
That’s so cool! All we see is ******* even though you see hunter2
I like the board game community there. Plus that fried chicken place by the convention center. That’s about it.
Lol this guy is going to get an apology and the city is going to be wearing the egg on their face.
Horrible optics. What in the world are they even thinking?
Water is wet too.
Young has always trended liberal. Old has always trended conservative. This is just how the way the world works.
The older you get the less you can believe people will change because the more you see how fucked up everyone and everything is. The theories they teach in school just don’t pan out in the real world when it comes to civic duty and patriotism. The whole american institution is corrupt and there to enrich the lives of the wealthy and influential elite. It’s not there for the masses.
I’m old and hard left, but it’s because I know my money is just going to go to some asshole no matter what. I’d rather my kids have a chance of having a high qol even if they don’t escape the grind or become wealthy on the backs of others. But i’m a sucker, i’d rather help someone random than take more for myself. I’d rather give up half to make sure nobody lacks for housing, food or healthcare. After all almost everything I make goes into those three things anyway.
anything else provided by Microsoft has a better 3rd party alternative if the user wants it at all.
Imo this is what has held microsoft back. They never really focused on the user market. All their software is pay-for-me bullshit offering promo prices for user tier education subscriptions that never retain users. Once you’re out of school you’re gonna cancel office sub, pirate it, or simply use google docs because everyone can use it without paying. Office is for businesses only.
Google lets you use their version of office without asking for any money. They give you storage that integrates with it and doesn’t nag you to subscribe or purchase a license to do things and they don’t nag you to use it. Their email is actually good, has good spam protection. You can use google mail for small businesses without issue too whereas hotmail or outlook.com look sketchy by comparison.
Microsoft has had so many missteps in their headlong charge believing they are the only game in town. Android has a bigger market share and a lot of people just use their phone as a computer today on a global scale.
In the US, Apple keeps gaining market share. iOS is the #1 operating system here but fairly neck and neck with windows. MacOS is a little under half of Windows too, so combined Apple is a big majority OS wise. Apple isn’t charging for updates on any of it’s OSes, unlike all of microsoft’s. The mobile hardware division makes way more money than laptops and desktops.
On a long enough of a timeline it seems inevitable that microsoft’s OS marketshare dominance will evaporate. It looks like only MacOS is here today as a realistic alternative since Linux is a steaming hot mess for end user computing.
I’m guessing this song was held at a rally or event run by some obscure created-for-purpose llc named like “Texans for Trump MAGA Event 2024 LLC” so that when they’re sued the man himself and his campaign is effectively immune from prosecution.
Instead some lackey gets to deal with it and the only money that can be extracted is shared amongst other debtors from all the shit they didn’t pay for after the event ended.
That’s my speculation, but i’d be amazed if this isn’t the way they do it.
Coleman said they were grateful that the judge agreed that it would be overstepping his power at this point in the litigation to order the campaign to take down existing videos.
So is youtube overstepping their power when they strip audio from all those content creators videos, demonetize them, or delist them? Just asking because a judge doesn’t feel like he has the right to stop videos with stolen copyrighted media from being distributed so long as it’s this fucking guy. Everybody else though? Crippling lawsuits, garnished wages, prison time… you name it.
aka 880 billion dollars. Was just keeping the millions total to match the scale of the previous figure.
When someone isn’t even on the ballot you usually don’t care. There’s less than six months left on his term. It’s really weird to bring the president up at this point, just like dumpy tries to rant about him as an opponent even though he’s been out for many weeks now.
If Harris was acting like she was incoherent in most speeches i’d start worrying but so far that hasn’t been the case. Dumpy has been incoherent for the better part of a year, if not way longer. I think his fans either ignore his speeches or are so weird that they can’t think critically, there’s just no other rationale.
I think he’s really weird.
Given that medicaid costs something like 880000 million dollars, I can pretty much promise that it saved money if it was denying people en masse.
The whole healthcare system private and public is corrupt and lining the pockets of the wealthy at scale. All the middlemen are leeches from the insurance companies, to the “service” companies that clean hospitals, nursing homes, to the medical supply companies that charge egregious prices.
It doesn’t matter if the healthcare provider is nonprofit because all the other ancillary services make loads and loads of cash… which means medicare/medicaid and all private insurances end up spending tens of thousands of dollars per patient, or more. Turns out… private health insurance profits are regulated to a percentage of money spent on treatments…more spend = more potential profits. It’s a balancing act of raising insurance subscription prices and raising treatment cost negotiations so that they hit that percentage and maximize profit per year.
Hey, we have to draw the line somewhere. Let’s stop at a gigaton.
