Well yeah but they mostly seem to enact shite laws.

States rights seems to invariably mean "state's rights to be utter shitheads".

otoh 14 states enacted legislation permitting same sex marriage before england and wales did, and various states are moving ahead with marijuana decriminalization

the thing about having so many state governments is that once a few start doing something progressive it becomes more difficult for the rest to dig in their heels

As a counterpoint the UK can have social housing and nationalized not-for-profit healthcare. That it doesn't always is because it's full of cunts, but it could have them if it wanted it.

I am fond of the iron fist of the state because it can do things that decentralized government cannot.

My initial point is that I don't see why the US couldn't practically legislate aviation maintenence and operation standards nationally, though I am familiar with its reluctance to try to legislate a lot of things on a national level.

I know which is why it seems bizzare that police helicopters wouldn't be centrally regulated. Other than presumably because you physically couldn't run international aviation without a nationwide control authority whereas presumably you can fly police helicopters while occasionally crashing them into people.

having regulations is one thing, whether or not the Hicks County Sherriff's Office follows those regulations is probably the kind of thing that's only found out after someone dies in a crash

this whole derail is super odd considering that the helicopter crashing due to negligence was entirely a theoretical. i was just saying there's a lot of space in america for inept local bureacuracy to make bad decisions. charlottesville va isn't that far from the state capitol richmond so the chopper was probably a loaner from the state police, i dont know and i'm not going to look it up

I think she's responding sarcastically to a tweet that's since been deleted.

Edit: I think that because of the discussion on the idiots on social media thread.

I suppose I've never heard of any of our lot crashing their helicopters so I figured it wasn't a thing that happened to civilian helicopters operated by major governmental organizations and if it does happen it would make sense to assume interference.

i can't begin to imagine having a brain so smooth that that tweet made any sense.

it's like the idiots that think obama caused racial strife when it was just they were comfortable white people that literally never had to see or think about how bad it is to be black in america.

they got baby brains. if they don't see it it don't exist.

he's just appealing to the strong manly men of the alt right who definitely don't at all whine endlessly and try to guilt trip people into agreeing with them in internet arguments with the extremely pissbaby take "the reason people are moving right is because of leftists like you being mean and upset :smug:"

like other people are responsible to be nice to you so that you dont' become a bigot. it's like trying to take yourself hostage, it doesn't work

yeah, I'm kinda surprised that none of the photos I saw had kekistan flags or whatever. I wouldn't doubt that people were too preoccupied with the actual nazi poo poo to worry about that one weirdo waving a green flag around, though.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Scalise denounced white supremacists and the rally. Talking out of both sides of his mouth of course. But all these fuckers trying to pain a smiley face on the swatsika are making GBS threads their pants. With any luck most will run to the hills and stay there.
