To make.matters worse what is to say, Trump gets elected again but then the GOP find him unfit to serve because of his age and Vance become POTUS…

I pay my portion of my health coverage at a little under 20% of my paycheck for a family plan. That is technically half since my employer pays a portion as well. If taxes would be raised to that point or even less than what I am paying now I would not care in the slightest. Hell I would welcome it. If it is more I would be a little more upset but if I do t have to pay co pays or the other crap a medical bill generates like the portion my health coverage doesn’t pay than in my eyes it again balances out.

Probably not since it could very well be a bot and it just posted it’s copy pasta in the wrong spot.

I know you are being a little facetious but I think there really is a nugget of truth there. I didn’t full realize how much my Healthcare is, until this past reup and it got me thinking how many people probably don’t realize how much they are paying because it is a pre-tax deduction so they technically don’t even see the bill to realize how much they are paying.

Because they would also be paying for yours as well…

I swear people can not grasp that concept. This is not directed at you OP. I am just piggybacking my literal astonishment at these peoples cognitive dissonance.

That is not true. They still need probable cause to detain you, and if they have that they can actually hold you up to a max of 72 hrs before they must file actual charges. But for a stop they can only detain you in so long to effect the investagory period. That can take however long but for say a traffic stop should be like 20-30 minutes.

I would LOVE to see a source on this, but I have a feeling I already know where it is coming from.

Yes, but also no.

They don’t call it the 1%, or 2%, or whatever percentage you want to use for nothing. There is still a large portion of boomers, my parents included that drank the kool-aid and by kool-aid I mean the pick yourself up by the bootstraps and work hard and you will be successful bs. They along with the rest of the leftover portion of their generation are pretty much unable to retire, just like the article points to. That is the class warfare. It doesn’t matter what generation they are from it really does boil down to the haves and have nots.

The true point of Capitalism is like a big game of monopoly at the end only 1 person is going to win. There really is no other way for it to go down.

How are they influenced, and they aren’t used being used for publicity from what I can tell from the article. One of the first posts here does a pretty good summary of the article that it centers more around the outrage than actually the after-school program itself.

I am pretty sure we are coming from the same place here but I would like to point out anyway the hypocrisy of this seemingly strawman argument. If anyone has relocated to different states(like I have) they should know each one can be vastly different and for an issue as big as this and as impactful as this should not be left up to the states becuase of that fact. I again, realize I am just reiterating what has already been said but it is just so incredulous to believe that a percentage of the population thought that this was a good idea.

Yeah we see how well that has worked out with the few media posts about women fleeing states to get an abortion and the state AG is trying to hold the out of state hospital accountable. Where is the “leaving it up the states”, there?

I would have liked to have been a bug on the wall to hear the grand jury deliberate this one. I mean I get the knee jerk reaction, but even so a kid who it seemingly was complying with instructions, gets shot anyway. How is that not negligent?

I think they were just side stepping since they paused the lower courts ruling and then when they found out she left the state they dismissed their ruling as moot and then just went and overturned the lower courts. Pretty fucking spineless but they can still throw a supposed W and make themselves out to upholding values or some other BS talking point.
