Okay.

They were always right about the date. They just were wrong about what Jesus is looking for.

I’m pretty sure my plans are fine. Jesus is going to take one look at us and turn around.

People are coming at you because it sounded like you were saying the poor were poor because of bad financial skills.

No that’s exactly what’s happened.

Lol, you guys used the same argument about car chases. Just two cars driving. It’s an absurdist reduction.

And no it’s not based on hate. It’s based on the police being found to lie over and over again. Even with video footage available. They just aren’t credible. And you bending over backwards to defend them shooting into a crowd is repugnant.

Well that’s a different case. That’s when the stock price goes down. Not necessarily when profits go down.

A police officer walking after another person, on foot, doesn’t have the potential for collateral damage that a car chase does.

Looks at the number of people that got shot.

Obviously that’s not true.

And all of that stuff with the weapon is based only on the police claims. The same police that won’t release the body camera footage.

Or the working class can’t afford everything it needs. So a raise goes towards buying more necessities.

It’s kind of hard to save when every dollar is accounted for in food, shelter, and utilities.

Profits can go down slightly as long as it’s expected. The stock market is weird and the thing nobody likes is unexpected falling numbers. Stocks can maintain or even increase in value if the report matches the predictions and expectations. Even if that prediction is a slight lowering in profits.

Economists are also very aware of what they choose to keep fixed and what they choose to allow as a variable. It’s a science that’s incredibly easy to corrupt the results in. Which is why people really need to pay attention to who it’s giving the results.

Police don’t chase for red lights anymore specifically because the damage car chases were doing was out of line with the civil infraction.

I said Facebook because we know they’re doing it and you’d still have to actually prove that case.

The argument here is more along the lines of, “you can’t make a law that defines something as murder only when I do it.”

Legally it is a very good argument. A law targeting a single company in name or effect is literally unconstitutional. It’s called a “Bill of Attainder”.

The counter argument is indicting Facebook because they never stopped selling information directly to the CCP.

1,000 dollars is generally grand theft, a felony, and thus liable to the fleeing felon rule in some states.

If you mean morally, then no amount is worth killing over as long as there’s a robust safety net in place. In olden times losing money to thieves could mean literally starving. At which point it’s you versus them. In modern times there’s not really that friction for most of us.

Trust Hollywood to get it wrong. In the military the term strap hangars can be derogatory, but it’s not any better for the person being held on to if it’s used this way. It has to do with patronage systems and people not making it on their own merit. Rather than constantly trying to cull the hangars, the people with the straps are enabling them. “There goes Colonel Good Idea Fairy and his straphangers.”

Alternatively in the Airborne community it means someone who isn’t scheduled to jump but shows up anyways, hoping there’s an extra parachute. This isn’t derogatory because airborne soldiers have to jump every so often to maintain their status and pay, and life happens so there’s no telling why they’re in need of a jump. “We have five extra parachutes for straphangers.”

In other countries they’d just put in fare gates you couldn’t jump.

This is the real thing. It needs to be blasted far and wide that SCOTUS does not have the power to choose. Congress does that on Jan 6th if there’s still a problem. If they pull this shit then we need to be in the streets.

We didn’t have to imagine any of that.

2000 happened. They just delay long enough in a key state and SCOTUS decides to use the Constitution as toilet paper again.
