Like the male, white supremist, Idaho sniper that just entrapped and assassinated two unarmed firefighters? You will not hear about white, male violence much.

""I don't know why he did it, and it's -- it's shocking to me," said the former classmate Dieter, who didn't want his last name used publicly. "It's something that villains do, plain and simple."

Dieter described Wess Roley as someone who was unusually outspoken in the strident ways he would defend his views.

Extremist views in high school

Dieter claimed Roley was someone who talked about Nazism, who was "very pro-gun," who spoke of wanting to join the military, who would often make drawings of bombs and military vehicles and who allegedly got in trouble once for drawing swastikas in a textbook."

At this point, any bumps in the road to unfettered misogynist, bigoted, surveillance christofacist power would be helpful while the left gets a real party together.

Narrator: They actually were.

Article yesterday said Chicago had just confirmed a lead pipe project expected to finish in 2077.

TF is wrong with administration around the lakes? How can they be allowed to have so little progress and so slowly as a normal course of business? Insulated career politicians? Bribes?

Change your luggage combo too.

serendipitously

I generally think of it as the combination of poor project management dependent on 3rd party consultants, mix in the larger infrastructure of state being aligned with corps on not wanting it to work "too" well, and large governments being unfortunately comprised of people and structures inexperienced in change--which exacerbates #1 on my list.

And by infuriated trump, they mean infuriated his election box funder attendees Bezos, Cool, Pichai. Of course I could be way off and it may be an innocent coincidence...🤑

I don't know what's so hard to grasp;

• immigrants are bad because they steal American jobs
• immigrants are good because exploitative industries can't run without desperate, no-option workers
• immigrants are bad because they're free loaders
• immigrants are good because they pay far more tax than they collect in benefits, illegal or legal
• immigrants are bad because they keep American wages down
• immigrants are good because they keep tech wages down so we should expand the visa programs tech companies lobbied for

As long as you know to which audience he's speaking, corporate funders or everyone else, he's been completely consistent.

What about states? Ever had to call unemployment? Lucky enough to be in a US state with paid leave? They are websites that make 1998 1.0 look decent. Their phone trees just dump you when you call them and say they are overloaded. No email, no ticket support online. So no web, phone or email support for those you are beholden to.

States aren't trying to turn a profit, what is the incentive to have unemployment and paid leave broken in states that have passed them as law?odt of the states with paid leave tout them and promote how great they are but make the process a gauntlet of cirizen-hating obstacles.

Looking at you CA, OR and WA.

The efficiency must flow. The poison must flow. The money must flow. The power must flow.

So underrated, always loved that movie. Lots of dark but honest.

Duct tape? Toilet paper? Which industry will strike it richest this time? Oh just watch more of the fear box and find out!

Came here to make the Minchin comparison.

the banks are going to have to get involved soon...figure out a way to load up working-age people with long-term debt

Why the hell do the banks need to step in? System for an indentured workforce is already in full effect:

• no safety net, unemployment difficult to get and punishing poverty if it's all you have
• require a car (e.g. initial capital and ongoing cost) to participate in many jobs
• have oligopolies rent out housing that is so expensive even those with full-time work can't save any money
• have oligopolies own groceries, they maximize profits (consumer cost)
• have oligopolies own medical facilities, they maximize profits (consumer cost)
• stuff people full of consumer desires and give them easy access to credit

Cage match after full time is the only appropriate answer. Lower it right in the middle of the pitch. Indoor soccer with it smaller fields, walls has always been more fast-paced than outdoor, add in ceilings and a first-to-score or first to 3 would be a good sport on its own let alone as a final.
