People that make $50k or less over the cap are going to freak the gently caress out when they raise/remove it even though it absolutely needs to be done.

No Butt Stuff posted:Wait, what? People that don't earn a ton of money over the cap legit look forward to hitting it because it makes a noticeable difference on your paycheck. My last few paychecks are generally over and it's really nice but I think that the cap needs to be removed. A large number of people in a similar situation are not going to be cool with that at all.

Nosfereefer posted:I wouldn't be so sure Hillary butchering Trump in a debate would mean anything. If memory serves, the people who would be voting for him will just ignore it or even make up a new reality where Trump did all the owning. If anything, the media turning on Trump will just confirm the ancient "liberal-media" meme that's always thrown around. This would only apply to his base. His base can't win him the election. Getting clowned on for the next several months, including at the debates, would probably get a whole lot of his soft support to sit this one out.

Trabisnikof posted:Those servers she could have used are the same State Department email system that was hacked. That's the alternative, not some better more secure email. It seems that a huge number of people think she was using her personal email for all of her state department business. Like completely bypassing their classified system for her personal server kind of stuff. I guess I might be a little more receptive of the seriousness of the issue if that were true?

On Terra Firma posted:So how about those emails Emails in Clinton Probe Dealt With Planned Drone Strikes. To get around the paywall just copy that little title there and put it in googles. If true, it's as big of a non-issue as sane people thought it would be. State and CIA were having a pissing match about when drone strikes would happen, the CIA agreed to give a brief window of notice, diplomats in the field needed to get information in a timely fashion so they used regular old emails for communications instead of hunting down a secure room.  quote:Several law-enforcement officials said they don’t expect any criminal charges to be filed as a result of the investigation, although a final review of the evidence will be made only after an expected FBI interview with Mrs. Clinton this summer.

So "he's not from around here" was technically correct! There's apparently some pretty strong arzying going on over this like a piddly 20 gun deaths in June will make a huge difference in November

So this might lead to some more interesting stuff than "Ban Muslims from entering the US" rhetoric. Also, there was a good guy with a gun there and it didn't stop this, so we'll get to see what happens with that usual angle

SpiderHyphenMan posted:The only way this might effect the general is if Trump calls for American-born Muslims to be kicked out or put in camps or whatever. Which is bound to happen since I'm pretty sure it was hinted at during the primary at some point. Unless this continues to regularly happen(muslim terrorist, not general mass shooting) it won't help him, especially if the Democrats get on top of a good response(they won't)

^^^^^ We may have killed Baghdadi in an airstrike, but no confirmation yet. zoux posted:I was listening to a report on the rise of suicides among white middle aged people and the host asked the expert, "Why is there such a disparity between suicide deaths in rural and urban areas" and the guy just flatly goes "Rural people are more likely to attempt suicide with a gun" and there was a beat of silence and they continued on. I can't remember if it was here or somewhere else, but I've seen the pro-gun side get some statistics from countries with stricter gun control where they use some pesticide or some other chemical to kill themselves with a pretty similar success rate to guns in the US. So no gun control is necessary because they're going to kill themselves anyway!

pumpinglemma posted:Calling the cartels "an organised crime problem" is like calling Trump "a bit of a dick". Organised crime smuggles guns in from the shadows. The cartels drive around in homemade tanks daring the government to do something about it. They've spent the last decade openly fighting the Mexican army. It doesn't really matter what your gun control laws are, you can't enforce them when you don't even control your own territory. I'm actually kind of surprised we haven't started blowing their poo poo up with drones in all honesty. I guess they're all tied up in the middle east?

Sp1r0_Agn3W posted:people kill census agents, imagine the hell raised with a door to door gun confiscation This isn't even necessary. Do buybacks for the now illegal handguns and military style rifles or whatever they come up with. People that don't go along with it can keep their toys but if they're ever caught with them it's confiscated and they're hit with a pretty hefty fine. Something that will actually hurt. You'll probably get Bird Refuge 2: This time more of them die somewhere, but I'm ok with that. They'll just have to buy another F350 that will never tow anything or see any kind of offroad action for compensation for their micro penises.

Star Man posted:Turns out that Denver and other major cities are too drat expensive to live in when you're a wage worker for the city, so schools in places that are cheap to live are appealing to me. Denver and other major cities are too drat expensive even if you aren't a wage worker for the city. I'm trying to transfer to Denver because I enjoy doing things in the mountains and don't like blowing vacation time driving 10 hours each way 5+ times a year. I make really good money. Transferring to Denver should net me an 8% pay raise from the higher locality. I'm still not a fan of how much housing/rentals cost there. It's loving ridiculous. I don't know how the median household that makes less than half of what I do as a single income earner gets by in any of these places.

DemeaninDemon posted:Does your company have a Boise site? Go there. 1300/mo is a nice-sized mortgage here. I'm an air traffic controller so there are options pretty much everywhere. I've settled on Denver because I know a few people there and there's also the same type of facility I'm currently in. Salt Lake has the same thing, I just don't know anyone there at all. I'll start putting in for bids there if I can't get on in Denver. The overall staffing situation for the agency isn't going to do me any favors though. My mortgage here in KC is $1300 for a nice 2400 sq ft. house in a nice older neighborhood close to a lot of things. I could have easily afforded another $100k on the house but I like having toys and doing fun things. I'll definitely have to spend that in the Denver area.
