evilweasel posted:He's in custody already and it's a murder, they're going to be running down all leads. But saying you're investigating it as a hate crime will be taken as "we have evidence it is a hate crime" so even if they're looking into the possibility that it was a hate crime (and if they already have the guy in custody they probably have a motive) they're not going to say that unless they've got some reason to believe its one. This makes sense, thanks for the explanation evilweasel!

Looking through his bio - a huge tool who is severly inflating the positions he held to try to ride the business boom to a congressional seat. He lost the primary to Ryan for that district by 68 points in 2016. So, no one.

I posted a link above, but the voting machines in GA 06 are proven vulnerable to hacking and extroardinarily insecure, with no paper trail, and the office in charge of monitoring them . . . Used to be run by Karen Handel. Watch for differences between exit polls and results. Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Jun 19, 2017 |

Rotacixe posted:Generous unemployment benefits and active labor market policy on the other hand aren't very neoliberal. Generous unemployment benefits actually are a neo-liberal policy position. And Denmark has relatively few labor market protections. Denmark's only major protections are safety requirements and requiring notice when you are being fired (if you have worked there for a certain amount of time). Denmark has fairly high labor mobility and does not actively try to protect individual's employment. They have a strong safety net and rules that favor employers to promote fluidity in the private labor market. That is very different from a government union or policies that make it difficult to fire people.

You see it with both sides in the thread. One side starts screaming nothing matters and we're all doomed while the other side says nothing matters as a democrat winning there was unlikely so them losing there means nothing.

It's not +2.5R, the polls are generally in Ossoff favor. +2.5R is what you end up if you apply turnout models based on something.
