  • If done right, sure.

    Alabama tried to kill the person first in line already with lethal injection and failed, so the odds of them doing nitrogen gas right is pretty fucking slim.

  • I guess people can't be terrorized by threats then, you solved terrorism!

  • It's like car features that have been around for 70+ years are the way they are for a reason.

  • Bomb threats still cause terror.

  • Sure, people do dumb things. But the don't make anonymous bomb threats as part of a drill that can't be identified by the FBI.

    Fuck off with your discount false flag theory.

  • Stupid drills planned ahead with school leadership is not the same thing as anonymous bomb threats.

  • Where did you get the idea that wanting reasonable wages before tips means I hate servers?

    Learn to read.

  • In this case words matter, and universal is not synonymous with government run. Universal healthcare means available for everyone. If it isn't available for everyone, it is not universal.

    Government implemented universal single payer is the best implementation based on every civilized country.

  • Drivers on their phones are more responsible for avoiding pedestrians than pedestrians are for trying to avoid vehicles since vehicles are large and deadly and supposedly require a license to drive. In addition to that, a pedestrian on a phone will be moving relatively slow compared to a distracted driver, and it is far easier to avoid hitting a pedestrian than it is to avoid getting run over by a car moving at an unsafe speed.

    Drivers are always at fault unless a pedestrian leaps in front of them intentionally or the sidewalk is close enough to traffic that tripping and falling would end up in the path of a vehicle. The latter would be the fault of the street design if an attentive driver hit a pedestrian.

  • That isn't a drill, that is just a bomb threat.

  • You just have to be extremely poor and old to get it.

    That isn't what universal means.

  • We can look at the US to see exactly what the outcome was before Obamacare. It is still awful, but it was even worse then.

  • "Surely Israel will just bring them back after Hamas is eradicated." - Israel's supporters.

  • Random threats are useful if the goal is to make everyone feel unsafe. Otherwise people might think it was targeted and that could help law enforcement speculate on who might be making the threats.

  • A security drill would not send bomb threats.

  • Hard to blame the current disenfranchised voters for not being able to vote out those already abusing their power. Blaming them shifts the attention away from those abusing their power.

  • A reasonable tip ensures that someone will accept your order. Nobody is forced to go pick your food up.

    I member when restaurants employed drivers that actually delivered reliably without needing to bid for their attention first. Hard to forget since I was one of them!

    Hourly pay was regular minimum wage instead of the server level chump change, and when using my own car I received an amount for wear and tear + gas. So in my case tips were actual tips on top of a living wage and even if nobody had tipped it would have been an alright job.

    I can't imagine trying to do the same thing for only tips.

  • If someone tips a set amount regularly they can easily plan ahead.

  • A reasonable required base level of pay for service is necessary before a tip is showing appreciation.
