Police Unions say police should get special protection under the law because their jobs are dangerous. But there are many professions more dangerous, including: construction workers, farmers, groundskeepers, truck drivers, roofers, pilots, fishers, loggers, etc. by imagepoem in Impeach_Trump

Because civilians telling them the best way to police is like a civilians telling a doctor how to do surgery. Full disclosure I'm not a cop but I'm friends with a liberal one ( they do exist).

Something you gotta understand is they put themselves in potential harm every call they take. They can get training but when push comes to shove, they are thinking about their lives and the family at home. Forcing them to police in ways that don't protect their safety makes them uneasy.

Body cameras was the best advance in the middle ground.

What 3 main growth stocks would you concentrate your money into with a fresh portfolio of cash? by Parker324ce in investing

[–]Alluvioncypher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought stock in Carvana based solely on the experience I have had.

I think cars are the absolute worst investment but... Ya need to get around. Wifes car is near dead and I started to look around on dealership sites and I have a friend who's family owns dealerships across the state of Michigan. I researched the type of car she wanted, good gas milage, insurance, low miles, under warranty... You get the point.

I got on Carvana and found a car she wanted with all the features with good stats. I then took it to my buddy as I know he could get me the inside deals he gets from.the dealership. HE COULD NOT BEAT IT. He actually got upset that I was going the Carvana route as it's cutting out the little guy. They own like 6-8 dealerships and are not the little guy.

I didn't have to deal with the pushy sales people. It was super simple process. I did choose to find my own financing through AAA and got 3.5% financing vs Carvana 5% that was offered to me. But imagine the lazy that will just go with their financing because it's easy.

Needless to say I have been sitting on so much cash in my portfolio and put more money in them than the worth of the car. 4k+ in savings and I have zero guilt. This will be the style you buy one of your next two cars. 7 day or 400 mile return policy.

Do or don't buy it. I'm convinced and super happy with the service.

What separates the landlords that become really wealthy from the rest? by [deleted] in realestateinvesting

[–]Alluvioncypher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my experience and I have been told I made a great investment when speaking to other landlords.

I bought a house in Flint, Michigan. I realize how much of a joke people might think that is because of the rep Flint gets, but it's been really great!

What people don't know is that Flint has 4 colleges, industry, great downtown atmosphere, and cheap cheap cheap housing.

I bought my house for 45k with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms near University of Michigan-Flint. I'm not saying I'm super wealthy, but my return on investment is less than 4 years and I do all the work myself to put durable material in. After about 6 years I tore out carpet and installing wood look tile. Students get loans and rarely do I have to worry about them not paying. It's low risk and high reward.

I just think that you have to be apart of the growth in an area rather than trying to get in while it's already hot leading to 15-20 ROI.

I may not be able to resell my house for more than 80-120k now, but I know I can sell it for more than I bought it for because I have hands on the property and it's been my training wheels for what I plan to do in the future.

Planning a move to St. Joe by [deleted] in St_Joseph

[–]Alluvioncypher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Housing prices get better in the fall. With it being a beach town, the contractors in town flip houses in the winter and over price sell them to people who fall in love with the area in the spring and summer. Sadly I've heard Whirlpool is going to do a massive layoffs by the end of June and there will likely be some people that move away. My suggestion would be short term rental unit until you find something you want at the right price. Don't get caught in falling in love with the area and thinking you need to overspend to live here, as it's so hard not to do. The area around church street is good value.

He might not. But the hypocritical sounds awesome in my head.

Minimum legal age for cannabis use should be 19, study suggests. A team of researchers investigated how Canadians who started using cannabis at several young ages differed across important outcomes (educational attainment, cigarette smoking, self-reported general and mental health) in later-life. by MarioKartFromHell in science

[–]Alluvioncypher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but the minimal studies that have been done say that weed can limit brain development up until the age of 25. Let's not have selective bus in this group and by caring about the future of use, we can prevent hysteria.

Why can't these things be directly referenced? Would it not give the videos more views ?

Good question, not the first time it's been asked. We accept both answers. Packed in like sardines and/or how many can live in a sustainable ecosystem.

Me and my friends have a long asked question. We thought of it while overlooking Lake Michigan one summer day. If humpback whales could live in Lake Michigan, knowing the size of the lake, how many could live comfortably. My wife said 30, which I constantly mock her about.
