There are a dozen different bubbles right now and various debt shellgames that make 2008 look like child's play. The exact same poo poo is going down, and it's going to pop. Housing is going to crater again, employment has been garbage and is going to continue to tank, and poo poo is going sideways. Giving tax cuts to the wealthy is an almost guaranteed recession.

Well the market is down about 375 atm

Now regarding Israel's Ultra-Orthodox weirdos. They're not required to do national service, around half of them don't work, and if they choose not to work they get special welfare from the government. In return the Israeli right wing gets a dependable voting block of sometimes violent lunatics.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Republicans didn't try to set up special status like that for groups of Evangelicals or Momos.

It's awesome that we've cut the amount of youth prisoners from 10,000 to 650, but before we advocate sending those 650 kids to private schools, what are they in for? I read most of the article, so maybe I missed the part where they addressed why those 650 were still being housed when the numbers dropped in general. Were those kids convicted of particularly violent crimes?

The glass half full approach to spending several hundred thousand dollars per kid to put them in cement cells with strict punitive rules and give miserably insufficient counseling: what if kids just really bad?!

Even if they had stabbed someone to death, this is a very expensive way to not make them better.

There’s nothing knee jerk about legislation introduced after thousands of mass shootings in Western countries

I'm not saying don't fix them. I just think it's a little trite to say "send them to private school and give their family housing." Sending a murderer to Covington Catholic doesn't sound like it will fix them.

Jesus christ dude it was an illustration of how far the money would go not the literal 1 for 1 swap of where the money should go. Also you seem not to know what projecting means.

Go defend spending hundreds of thousands each to lock kids up elsewhere.

The answer to kids with issues isn’t super expensive and cruel prison. Apparently you disagree enough to whine about how they’re probably very bad kids.
