Nah, fuck all that.

Because people make money on businesses doing poorly as well by short selling

My friend, that was already explained in this thread. I think people just generally have a problem with denying people medical care for any reason.

And what, die? I think keeping people alive and preventing unnecessary deaths should be the priority first and foremost. Idaho should be made to improve their healthcare infrastructure, and then we can force them to stay in their state.

But as of right now, the idea of turning someone down at the hospital because their ID says a different state does not sit well with me.

More than that, California (last I checked) had the fifth largest economy in the world when comparing to entire countries.

I think they’ll do just fine.

At some point in your adulthood, you’re going to need to learn the difference between anecdotes and actual statistics/evidence. And guess what, you’re going to often find out that your initial thoughts were completely incorrect.

But that’s fine because it means you learned something.

Maybe that thing for you, today, could be that no number of personal anecdotes, no matter how powerful they may seem, can form a cogent argument. It’s basically meaningless at any statistically significant level.

No. They didn’t do anything because they are ok with it.

It’s almost as if allowing just about anyone to purchase a semiautomatic firearm is a bad idea.

Like almost as though people have shown again and again that they should not be trusted with firearms, let alone have the ability to walk into a gun show and walk out with an AR-15 in under an hour.

But please, everyone tell me about how this is really a mental health issue (that they also refuse to address).

The Glock does not have manual safety mechanism, which means that if there is a round in the chamber, that gun is ready to shoot.

How the fuck is this legal? Seems like requiring a manual safety mechanism on all firearms is a no-brainer.

Any of the folks who place more value in their ability to end another person’s life on a split second than the safety of their own children want to chime in and explain this one to me?

Funny how powerful language can be. When I first read 1984 in my late teens/early 20s, I always thought that big chunk of the novel where Orwell discusses the use of language as a means of control was dry, boring and unrealistic.

It has become clear to me since, that it very well may have been his most prescient point.

He was also allegedly a lawyer at some point, but I find that difficult to believe.

It’s like something happens to a boomer’s brain when they hit 40 that just drains any intelligence or empathy the person might have once had, and it’s replaced with selfishness and cruelty.

Lead really did a number on this country.

This is one of the dumbest motherfuckers that I have ever had the displeasure of hearing speak. Every single time I’ve seen this moron speak, I’ve walked away stupider.

It is absolutely shocking to me that this man graduated high school, let alone college or fucking law school.

Mind boggling.

Just seeing his photograph in the thumbnail, I can hear his stupid fucking voice…

Is this irony? Being gaslit about the word “gaslight”?

Nihilists? Fuck me, dude…

It’s idiotic. Not only do we eliminate these chemicals from our air and water, but we create tons of (very high paying) construction (and adjacent) jobs by basically giving billions of dollars from the already approved BIL to states to perform these projects. Well, given with strings attached like “Build America, Buy America” and prevailing wage.

Literally nobody loses.

Absolute trash human being

I love that everyone is acting like this is the and of the story.

My dude still works at NYPD. This dude’s family’s life will be a living hell until he moves out of the area.

Because they’re a gang. They “protect their own.” Which means relatives of other cops. Not the general public.

We’ll see how long this lasts when they start harassing his family.
