Social security and Medicare arent entitlements just like unemployment insurance isn’t an entitlement. They are programs that people and their employers pay into their entire working lives. An entitlement is giving someone something they haven’t earned or paid into.
There is nothing about COVID that makes it special, that makes it worthy of any more response than a common cold or flu, except for the massive exaggeration, fearmongering, and outright lies that have been built up around it.
Nobody's chance of dying or being significantly harmed by COVID is anywhere close to all the other dangers that we all must face, as an unavoidable part of living.
Nobody's chance of dying or being significantly harmed by COVID is anywhere close to the dangers and actual, tangible harm, caused by the powers that we have stupidly allowed government to seize over us and to blatantly abuse, under the fraudulent guise of “protecting” us from this hyperbolized disease.
Ever hear of “food deserts”? When it becomes too unprofitable for a store to remain open, what happens?
And what happens in communities where it is too unprofitable for stores to remain open? What happens to people who depend on those stores as sources from which they can buy food, and other supplies that they need to live healthy lives?
There are communities where, due to high rate of property crime (<@Incel Joe>It's just property. It can be replaced. The store owners should have had insurance.</@Incel Joe>) there are no grocery stores, no restaurants. Only high-priced convenience stores selling unhealthy junk food. That's a food desert. People's health, being adversely impacted, by the inability to buy healthy food as affordable prices, because high rates of property crime have driven away those that would have offered such food for sale.
Of course, that doesn't even address the livings that people could be making by owning and working in the stores that are thus prevented from existing.
Guns aren’t the issue. Guns are the solution for those who see them as the only way out. Politicians can help by holding schools accountable and putting more boots on the ground in terms of a police presence.
His victims weren't on trial.
The fact that Rosenbaum served time 20 years ago for molesting another kid when he was a kid wasn't relevant. The fact that Rittenhouse beat the crap out of a teenage girl was in that it shows he already had a propensity for violence. Also left out was that he liked to hang out with the Proud Boys.
And while the judge did exclude evidence of what a little shit Rittenhouse is, he let the defense sneak in stuff about Rosenbaum's mental illness.
Nope. But I actually have worked in supply chain most of my adult life, so I actually understand the problem. Covid was part of the issue. So was Trump's trade policies, which forced companies to move their operations out of China to other third world countries (as opposed to moving them back to the US, which was the desired effect.)
For instance, the biggest beneficiary of Trump's Trade War was Vietnam. (You know, the place Trump avoided going to because of Bone Spurs). Except that Vietnam hasn't spent the money on infrastructure to move product from a factory in Hanoi to the port at Haiphong in an efficient manner.
Right now, the ports are putting an emphasis on unloading products for Target and Amazon over manufacturers who need components. Good because Christmas won't suck, but it's going to bite us in the ass in a few months when production lines start slowing.
Or redesign the stores where they aren't so easy to loot. The problem with most store security is that it is set up around catching a shoplifter in the act, not so much a mob stealing a bunch of stuff in a coordinated attack.
Now, I'm not a security expert, but here are some of the things I might do.
1) Make it easier to secure the entrances when it is clear a looting incident is in progress. Lock the place down until the cops arrive.
2) Use preventive intelligence... These thieves are effectively using social media to coordinate these crimes, counter with more scrutiny of such accounts.
Even if you don't count middle class entitlements as welfare (which you should because they are) even the majority of people on poverty relief programs are in fact, white.
Of course, we spend 2.5 Trillion on entitlements and only 600 billion on "welfare", so we spend a lot more money keeping white people from becoming poor than keeping people of color out of destitution.
Wrong again. The past indescretions don’t matter here. It was self-defense. Case closed. I‘m just glad they wouldn’t allow a partisan like yourself on the jury.
I can guarantee you that we would not be seeing the labor shortage nor supply chain disruptions even close to what we are seeing now if Trump was still in office. The supply chains disruptions are in large part due to the labor shortages which are in large part due to Biden’s policies. You dont’ see it, but then again, you are nothing more than an average Joe.
We've been punishing the shit out of people... we lock up more people than any country in the world, and we aren't any safer.Punishing people that break the law is the answer. It isn’t rocket science.
Let’s see, there are about 5 times more white people in the country than black people and about the same for Hispanic vs white. Do you see a problem with your graph yet?
The criminal case is closed, but this little shit and Kenosha are going to pay out the nose....
You might have a point. Trump lost 65 million jobs and 65,000 businesses on his watch. Four more years, the country would have looked like The Hunger Games.
It amazes me you look at his fuckups and say, "We totally need more of that!"
But, but, but until Covid hit, things were fine...
And the Titanic was making excellent time before it hit the iceberg.
We've been punishing the shit out of people... we lock up more people than any country in the world, and we aren't any safer.
No, no problem at all.... just when you say "Welfare Queen", it's a fat southern white bitch with a confederate flag on her double wide
Right, COVID didn’t have anything to do with the lost jobs.
Hey moron, our economy wasn’t affected nearly as much as Europe and that is thanks to Trump.
Again, I don’t expect an average Joe to be able to wrap his head around it.
Yeah, and the vast marority of them are Democrats, which is why they want to give them the right to vote and to make excuses for their lawlessness. Enablers like you are the problem.
Well, that and it's total bullshit. The EU's unemployment rate never got above 8% during the worst of Covid. Trump managed to hit 14%.
Our economy is STILL fucked due to Trump Plague...
You need to do some reasarch. Europe‘s economy has faired far worse than the US. Thank you President Trump for putting us in such a great position to withstand the Chinese virus.
The struggles in our economy are due to Biden my little average lemming.
They were there for a violoent riot not a protest.They were there for the protest, not to protect anyone. It was Kyle to traveled to the protest with the goal to be a vigilante.
He shot no unarmed protestor.You mean the guy who had just shot an unarmed protestor and was still armed?
Was the protest advertised as being violent ahead of time?They were there for a violoent riot not a protest.
Which makes them vigilantes
It was not a protest it was a riotWas the protest advertised as being violent ahead of time?
Whatever Rittenhouse thought, he killed two people who did not have guns. He was obviously a danger to others.He shot no unarmed protestor.
He shot a violent rioter who attacked him and threatened his life
After they attacked him and threatened his life.Whatever Rittenhouse thought, he killed two people who did not have guns. He was obviously a danger to others.
Your hindsight may be 20-20 but I doubt that is how it appeared to those at the scene.After they attacked him and threatened his life.
He was no danger to others who did not do that
It is exactly how it appeared to those on the scene that is why Grosskreutz asked Rittenhouse where he was going and learned he was going to get the police.Your hindsight may be 20-20 but I doubt that is how it appeared to those at the scene.
Different demographics. The horse is out of the barn. Over 100mil guns out there. Confiscation would be impossible. Europeans and Japanese also have fewer car accidents. Stats may be misleading.Yeah, we tried that. We put more boots on the ground, which ended up on people's necks and made them even more resentful.
Again- THE EUROPEANS HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT. THE JAPANESE HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT.
stop looting and burning and that would solve the whole problem .
