  • Oh God yes, and it is reflected in my own family members who are all in their 70s. They strongly believe that a 70 or 80 year old is in "the prime of their life" and that "I have never been of sharper mind and more capable than at the age of 74."

    Just totally delusional. "Me" generation indeed.

  • The Iraqi insurgency was run by ex -Baath party members who used to run and be the army when GW dismissed them to "nation build.". They went home and took their weapons with them. However, many, many died. They were also supported by Iran.

    The rest, as they say, is history.

  • Our security guard spends most of his time chasing away fentanyl addicts shooting up inside our elevator and cleaning up poop from them after they devour tubs and tubs of ice cream (they poop in our parking garage stairway every single day).

    Also, calling the police and helping to coordinate cleanup in the daily car break ins we have at the office. My boss had his truck windows smashed 5 times since 2021.

    So yes, some security officers actually do real work. Ours doesn't even carry a gun and said he would not physically interact with anyone unless someone's life was on the line.

  • Because police encounters with black people has been an ongoing issue since they were brought over on boats to the united states.

    Many studies have highlighted disparities in how black people are treated.

    For instance: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/blacks-whites-police-deaths-disparity/

    Black Americans are 3.23 times more likely than white Americans to be killed by police, according to a new study by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The researchers examined 5,494 police-related deaths in the U.S. between 2013 and 2017. Rates of deadly police encounters were higher in the West and South than in the Midwest and Northeast, according to the study. Racial disparities in killings by police varied widely across the country, with some metropolitan areas showing very high differences between treatment by race. Black Chicagoans, for example, were found to be over 650% more likely to be killed by police than white Chicagoans.

  • I disagree. Remember how many of Trump's cabinet and campaign members were convicted of felonies?

    Also, Gitmo. Just saying. Bush and Condoleeza Rice weren't the ones hooking up people to car batteries.

    If you are a corrupt sack of shit, it's easy to get a bunch of criminals to do dirty work for you!
