Hyrax Attack! posted:I misread that and thought a teenager had been beaten by the cops, won a $50 million lawsuit, then became sheriff and for some reason was ultra draconian. Wouldn't be out of line for Texas - the current governor was injured in an accident, won a multimillion dollar settlement that set him up for life, then got into politics and limited the payouts from injury lawsuits.

If the most hoo-rah, overconfident pieces of poo poo around who see violence as the answer to everything are saying that introducing more firepower into a school is a bad idea, then you can be really, really sure it's a bad idea.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:E: goddamn idiocracy was a glimpse into the future The reality is somehow more dystopian than Idiocracy. Fast food/supermarket self-service kiosks at least usually have a real person physically around. Instead, you're going to be added to a queue and redirected to the next available person in a call center where they can undercut local wages. It's the experience of calling customer service that everyone loves, coming to a retail location near you. https://globalnews.ca/news/8791036/freshii-percy-virtual-cashier-job-outsourcing/

Proud Christian Mom posted:https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1534269367608823813?t=9vuVZ5ThrWWzN6tBiMNc7w&s=19 It's true though? There's some serious questions about where the economy is going next, but at the moment by all measures output, employment, incomes, etc are at historic highs. Wages actually moved in the right direction for the first time in decades, even if that's coming from a pandemic response. The covid relief payments probably even pushed down income inequality for the first time in a lot of peoples' living memory.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Wages only went the right direction until inflation caught up and flew past it, though. No on can seriously going argue (from the left) that there couldn't have made better policy choices over the last few years, but objectively "the economy" is doing better for more people than it has in some time. It doesn't help that a big chunk of the population are toddlers who can't get over the fact Trump lost and complain about gas prices from their lifted trucks. They were never going to be satisfied with any result. That said Democrats are going to do the usual thing and fold on everything economically and do nothing for the next two years, and if there's a recession in the future that will make it worse.

CBJSprague24 posted:Man, I would've considered a Tesla for my next car after I saw a friend drive hers with her finger a couple years ago but, between Musk's general douchebaggery and now this? You can find adaptive cruise control and lane assist on decidedly not fancy cars these days, you don't need a Tesla to drive with one finger on the highway. And most of those manufacturers are responsible enough that the car will beep at you if you take that one finger off for too long.

Acebuckeye13 posted:The Democratic Party loves cops because America loves cops. Support for defunding is piss poor. Support for other reforms are much higher, and a reform bill passed the House, but of course it doesn't matter since the Republicans are uniformly in opposition and it would take every single Democrat to both break the filibuster and pass the reform bill. Democrats still represent capital first, and police protect capital.

Bored As gently caress posted:It's a completely haphazard way. Fed LEOs get fed funding. There were 13,947 separate law enforcement agents with at least one full time cop in the US as of 2018. This was down significantly from 17,398 in 2012. This is absolutely insane. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/topic-pages/police-employee-data https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/nsleed.pdf

1001 Arabian dicks posted:This doesn't necessarily matter, the number of police departments doesn't have to correlate with the number of police officers, nor do the former or latter have to correlate with the level of services provided. There's a level of overhead that's duplicated in every department so it's generally less efficient, it creates bunch of overlapping jurisdictions that make navigating the criminal justice system more complicated, and having all of those small departments makes oversight especially difficult which just encourages more corruption.

CainFortea posted:Contraceptives are also on the chopping block next so no it's not an overreaction. Contraception for women is on the chopping block. Note that evangelicals are always shrieking about hormonal birth control but never have anything to say about condoms. quote:But in the fine print of their measure, those Republicans revealed that their ambition wasn’t only to target a familiar abortion foe. They were going after specific forms of birth control as well, notably, emergency contraceptives, often sold under the brand name Plan B, and intrauterine devices, known as IUDs. GOP lawmakers tried to stop Missouri’s Medicaid agency from paying for those forms of contraception. quote:This month, Idaho state Rep. Brent Crane, Republican chair of the powerful House State Affairs Committee, said he would hold hearings on legislation banning emergency contraceptives and possibly IUDs as well. quote:A Louisiana House committee earlier this month passed a bill saying that “human personhood” begins at the point of fertilization, an interpretation that critics say could potentially be used to outlaw Plan B drugs, IUDs and perhaps other forms of birth control.

MrMojok posted:They’d probably love to include condoms but they also prevent transmission of disease, so that’s unfortunately just a bridge too far. It makes more sense when you consider their driving motivation is tearing down reproductive agency for women. The whole saving babies is after the fact justification because saying "women need to be kept in their place" loses votes these days, which is why they won't come after condoms or vasectomies.

facialimpediment posted:https://twitter.com/rickberke/status/1541445474913230848 Can't disagree in principle, but look at the details of the doctors who were exonerated. quote:As part of their criminal enterprise, Dr. Ruan and Dr. Couch owned C&R Pharmacy, which was co-located with one of the PPSA clinic locations. C&R Pharmacy would only fill prescriptions written by the doctors at PPSA, and Dr. Ruan and Dr. Couch split 75% of the profits that came in from the prescription drug reimbursements. Approximately 91% of the Subsys and Abstral prescriptions written by the defendants — which cost patients’ insurance anywhere between $1,000.00 to $24,000.00 per month — were filled at C&R Pharmacy.
