Teddybear posted:You lose institutional knowledge and legislators who have acquired expertise in their committee subjects and in policy. This makes legislators ineffective and more reliant on lobbyists and pressure groups for learning about issues and how to run their state. Term limits have been a failure in every state in which they were enacted, and there is no good reason to enact them unless you are actively trying to subvert the democratic process. So why do we still have them for the president, governors, etc?

baw posted:Looks like the next scandal is going to be the White House covering for an aid (who is the son of a major donor) hiring a prostitute. The WaPo article makes it seem like this could actually be a Thing. Do Dem voters care about some guy hiring a hooker? The repubs that do weren't going to vote D anyway... Something I didn't see in tech mogul chat is that having schools buy their poo poo helps their wallet right away as well as the down-the-road benefit of loyal idiots.

HootTheOwl posted:Weed smells terrible and gets in the walls to eat at my security desposit: A lesson I wish my roommates would understand. (No I didn't pick them, yes I will call the police. I warned you!) Snitches get stitches. Security deposits are like 200 bucks if you're splitting with roommates. If you're such a prude you're not tokin with them, just tell them to pay you your share of the deposit, then move to boring suburbs.

Shbobdb posted:Clearly you don't understand inflation. If we just handed out money to everybody prices would rise. But if we give money to specific organizations that know how to spend it, we will all be richer. A rising tide lifts all boats. We need to change it to "a rising boat lifts all tides".

DeusExMachinima posted:IIRC 4 people have to die (not counting the shooter) for it to qualify as mass murder, according to the FBI. You're all desperately grasping at straws while gun laws are looser than ever and murders are half of what they were 20 years ago. Too bad we don't count murder via corporations, I wonder if they're decreasing too. (Mcdonalds, walmart, etc)
