It’s not like people were asked, “Do you favor ordinary people having a real voice in their workplaces, neighborhoods, and society? Do you favor a higher minimum wage, universal health care (Medicare for All), strengthening labor unions, and increasing the power of working people while weakening the power of corporations?”
Those are not socialist policies, I’d say they’re more social democratic than socialist.
It’s that huge (avoiding) accountability he learnt in the seventies and eighties, before all these damn kids got corrupted by Casey Anthony and OJ.
Way to not answer the legitimate question. How about you take some accountability for your own faulty logic and answer the question? Should we imprison four year olds, since they know the difference between right and wrong? Maybe the ‘huge’ accountability they thought in the seventies and eighties wasn’t so huge after all.
Ok, then you probably shouldn’t be running for such a public office either. How is the ‘average’ American being unaware an acceptable excuse? Don’t you think that we should expect more from politicians in high office than from the average Joe? This thinking is what gave the US leaders like Trump and W. “I’d like to have a beer with that guy, so I’ll vote for him” hasn’t exactly delivered sensible leadership…
Also, the man first enlisted in the Marines in 2003, and his last military deployment was 15 years later in 2018 to Afghanistan with the mercenary outfit Blackwater. He was a Marine in Fallujah and Ramadi during the height of the atrocities committed by US military personnel.That’s 15 years of killing brown people before he concluded that perhaps that wasn’t a good choice. Why would you trust a person with judgment this bad deep into his thirties with this kind of power? Even removing the tattoo from the equation, there are plenty of red flags with this man. But hey, I guess we need more Fettermans in power, just ignore the red flags because he said a couple of sentences you agree with.
The problem you’re describing sounds more like an issue with space allocation. You mention that motorists are only an issue when you cross the street. Have you ever thought about the ratio of the space allocated to lanes for cars versus the space allocated to everyone else? It sounds like city planners over the years have allocated a far too large a portion of public space to cars, forcing pedestrians and scooters, among others, to compete over what’s left.
I work as a city planner, and experience this constantly. The space allocated to cars makes everyone else fight and compete over the small share that’s left, and none asks why we aren’t all demanding that space be reallocated from cars to other modes of transport instead of cramming everybody in the pedestrian pathways.
If there was space available in a separated bike lane, most scooters would likely prefer riding there instead of on the pavement. But if they have to share the space with 2 ton steel projectiles, then most take their chances with the pedestrians. It’s all a question of what a municipality chooses to prioritize when it comes to allocating public space.
Solitary confinement is torture. That guy just felt it to be less torturous than being with the general population. Which is quite a commentary on the horrors of the prison environment when you think about it.
Pretty sure there are more constructive things you could do with the time you’re wasting rather than watching ads. Hell, it doesn’t even need to be constructive, there are more entertaining things you could do.
Do you really believe that? Do you believe that the conductor and the cops would’ve acted in the same way if he, a 30 year old black man, was complaining about how an old white woman is sitting? Would they have stopped the train and detained the old woman in your opinion?
Thai and Iranian. That’d cover a large spectrum of what I like.
Former military person, fear mongers about magic evil of TikTok tech mining everything and sending it to the scary Chinese, says that FB does the same but also claims that somehow “we at least can keep tabs on what they’re doing with your private data” (lol), while also admitting to still being on FB and using Google’s services. Not at all suspicious and incoherent I’d say.
We discovered that the app embedded itself deep in your phone’s hardware, granted itself full administrative access to your phone, then started trickling all your data to servers in China
Ok bud, that doesn’t sound stupid AF at all. This random military IT sysadmin knows this but all other cyber security experts in the world have somehow missed this crucial bit of info. And for some reason, this info hasn’t travelled up the chain through the intelligence agencies. Remarkable.
The data from EU companies is anonymised and private. The data from Chinese companies is always available to their government.
Just trust me bro, the EU respects you but the Chinese are out to get you. The same EU that still has a special trade agreement with the genocidal Zionists, and is their biggest trading partner. The same continent that colonized and enslaved much of the rest of the world for centuries.Those are the good guys that you should implicitly trust, no proof needed you paranoid dummy. The red Chinese, they’re the scary ones. Fear them.
Is that why Apple has got the US by the balls because people want to avoid the dreaded green bubble in iMessage? I’m not from the US so that might be me misunderstanding the situation, but I’ve been told that even many adults in the US view that as a valid reason to avoid anything that’s not an iphone, because of some social stigma attached to the green bubble.
Sumo has plenty of commercialism, it’s just a different kind. It’s a sport with large issues around gambling and alcohol for example, while being heavily sponsored by gambling and alcohol companies. I also believe that all divisions are pro, the top two divisions are just salaried pros. So all wrestlers win cash prizes when victorious, but the top two divisions also get a salary whether they win or lose. At least that’s how I’ve had it explained to me.
