Gumball Gumption posted:I do not know how people square believing that half the country wants to commit a genocide and also the strongest action to take against them is not visiting for Thanksgiving. Look, why don't you put up or shut up? Not everyone can risk their jobs and homes just to go commit crimes against political enemies. Some of us have families to take care of, why is this such a foreign idea to you? It's always folks like you that insist everyone else do the dirty work and risk everything.

Sanguinia posted:A responder in Raju's thread led me to this article, which goes into deep detail on what this deal most likely is. Subject to any changes made in the actual negotiating room of course. It seems like it could make a big difference, especially because its design to impose hard price ceilings on drugs and punitively punish any company that just totally avoids negotiating, not to mention the inclusion of all insulin products. Yeah, this is going to help real people, but the gall of Sinema to talk about “protecting innovation” when these parasites spend more on advertising than research. Have DARPA start dumping some of that endless MIC money into drug discovery at our medical colleges and see who’s doing the real innovation.

Fister Roboto posted:This is some real bullshit reframing of what they actually said and you know it. Claiming that she only lost because a “dem lanyard fooled her” makes it pretty clear that Nix doesn’t believe that Brown is calling her own shots. They even say that the party itself is to blame. Blame lies with the person or group in change, and Nix clearly doesn’t believe it’s Brown. If you don’t like it, take it up with Nix.

If you go further in the thread, you find out that they have two kids and are fostering 6-7 more. However, you also find out that milk hasn't been $1.99 in a long loving time.

Lib and let die posted:Isn't this just blaming the victims of a predatory economy? Why is it on average citizens to price map out the various distributors around them and then waste and burn fossil fuels hopping from store to store chasing the prices they can afford? Christ, you're loving dishonest. The price of milk hasn't been that loving low in forever. You cut that part out of my quote on purpose. I pointed out that everyone mocking them ignored the fact that they're fostering 6-7 kids. You cut that out as well. You didn't get upset at any of your buddies who were mocking them for drinking too much milk. You hold no moral authority over anyone here.

I don't understand why people keep saying, "but parents will hate this because they'll send their kids to school in the dark" when their kids have after school poo poo as well and would preferably do it while some light remains. Christ, I loving hate trying to work in my yard and it's dark by 4 or 5pm. WA, OR and CA already voted to have permanent DST, so at least let us have it.

Jaxyon posted:All you have to do is interview some workers and people in the crowd and most likely they already know what the deal was. No, safety and accident investigations normally take a long time. If a large plane crashes, you're lucky if you know the root cause in a year. Serious multiple car crash or train derailment takes months. It takes a long time to gather evidence and interview people and piece everything together. And no, "most likely what they already know" is not some shortcut to a real answer. Folks shouldn't really be speculating until more information is known. Just look at the Rust shooting - the night of, everyone was talking about how "Baldwin was just playing with guns" and now the picture is a hell of a lot more complicated. Why bring up this unsupported conspiracy that Live Nation somehow has their thumb on the scale? Specifically how is LiveNation inappropriately intervening here? Where is your evidence?

Note how the sarcasm shows a pretty clear intention to celebrate the fact that the US is suffering from sanctions for once. What Booourns missed was that it primarily hits the poor, who literally had nothing to do with the creation or continuation of economic sanctions and that the US isn't some homogeneous block of people. Kinda weird how both you and Fister somehow completely missed this. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

If Dems suck so much, why did Jay Inslee do such a great job? The Seattle-metro area has among the lowest COVID-19 death rates among any metro area in the nation. He was reelected to an unprecedented third consecutive term for that. He wasn't faking numbers or dining at the Herbfarm or Canlis, yet the effective governors are never given any credit because that would mean that things are more complicated than "DEMS BAD". Stickman posted:We’ve had Democrats in charge for 10 months now, and their half-assed measures have meant that the US’ outbreak is not much better than 2020. What could possibly make you think that all of the excuses for the current failures wouldn’t have applied to a Democrat-led 2020? It would have been a little bit better and we maybe would have gotten slightly better relief (though not with the current senate) but the epidemic trajectory a toll would still be of the same magnitude. All of those scandals you mentioned were bad, but while reversing them would have saved lives it would have done little to stem the tide. Loving the cry of "HALF-ASSED" when vaccines are literally available everywhere and there's never any consideration for just how lovely the delta variant is or just how exponential growth works. Republicans and their propaganda outlets (including Facebook and Twitter) are never given any agency for blowing up the anti-vax movement either, weird how that happens. Had the rest of the nation followed Inslee's lead, hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved. Solkanar512 fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Nov 15, 2021 |

Stickman posted:Lol, you might have noticed that just making vaccines widely available doesn’t magically control your epidemic. That’s why it’s “half-assed”. Some of the fault is structural and some of it is the administration loving up. Both ways, it’s certainly not full-assed. You even quoted the part where I said "Republicans and their propaganda outlets (including Facebook and Twitter) are never given any agency for blowing up the anti-vax movement either, weird how that happens." and you literally give them no agency in their harmful actions! We know that the vast, vast majority of hospitalizations are from people who aren't vaccinated, we know that diseases can lose their endemicity through massive vaccination campaigns (if you don't ignore history and deny basic science here) but no, it's the DEMS who are BAD. Also cool of you to remove the quote about Jay Inslee, it just shows that you folks can't ever acknowledge when someone with a D at the end of their name is successful.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:QAnon Shaman was just sentenced to ~4 years in prison, 3 years probation following, and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution + damages. Oh wow, maybe the calls from people who said, "wait a loving second for trials and convictions to go through, and the heavier stuff takes longer" had a loving point! Main Paineframe posted:They're already expanding it to include social-emotional learning, as well as mental health programs in general. To the anti-CRT movement, counselors spending their time paying attention to kids' mental health is seen as taking resources away from college prep and using them to brainwash kids with namby-pamby liberal nonsense instead. Anti-suicide programs are seen as "advertising suicide" to kids who never would've thought of suicide, kids who just want to do all their homework and go to church. Social-emotional learning is being treated as a "gateway" to CRT, an attempt to circumvent anti-CRT laws by changing the terminology. And anti-CRT groups are getting quite heated about this stuff, to the bafflement of school administrators. So do these folks actually give a poo poo about college prep, or is that the "whatabouthomelessvets" for schools? I ask, because these seem to be the same shitheads that scream about evolution and new math and poo poo like that. VVV I said heavier, not heavy. There are still hundreds of these trials to go, and it's going to continue trending towards more serious punishments over time. Solkanar512 fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Nov 17, 2021 |

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:I don't disagree with you, but the latter part seems like a good reason to provide a living wage, guaranteed housing, etc to everyone. It's much harder to complain that those people are benefiting when everyone has what they need. Capitalism causes racism, which in turn helps to bolster capitalism by keeping the working class divided against itself. Racism has been around far, far longer than Capitalism.

So something I’ve been wondering with this case is “are citizen’s arrests even a real thing to begin with?” Does it just wildly vary by state? Is this some holdover from Jim Crow or earlier? To someone that isn’t a lawyer, the whole thing sounds like something you heard on tv but doesn’t make sense in the real world.

PeterCat posted:One thing omitted from this is the Obama-Biden administration had 8 years to pull out of Afghanistan and didn't do it, which makes me loath to give any credit to Biden, especially since I was part of the forces sent to deal with the fallout of pulling out of Iraq. We still have 2500 troops in Iraq and Syria, though no one has talked about them since Trump had the Iranian general killed. Uh, would you mind pointing me to the document /law/source showing us that the Vice President has the power to command troops? I’m really, really curious how that’s supposed to work.
