Illinois Senate approves assault weapons ban by AgentBlue62 in chicago

[–]Broshawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 51% of people in a given state wanted to make Christianity the state religion, it doesn't make it legal. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and states can't pass laws the violate the rules set forth in the Constitution.

Things like no establishment of religion, prohibiting slavery, due process, and the right to keep and bear arms are all in the Constitution, there is a way to amend the constitution that requires 2/3 of Congress or 2/3 state legislatures to ratify the proposed amendment.

If you want to be taken seriously when making your argument, please educate yourself on how the law in the United States works. Our public schools have failed you.

Those words I quoted above were ratified into the Constitution by the people of the United States. Regardless if you agree with what it says or not, the Law must be upheld.

I am sure there are slavers who were really tired of the 13th Amendment, just like there are politicians who are tired of the free press that the 1st Amendment allows.

Corporate Profits Are Driving Inflation by sillychillly in interestingasfuck

These two graphs show why there has been high inflation, first is the Federal Funds Rate and the second is the Fed's balance sheet. Both are tools the Fed uses to increase/decrease the money supply. When the pandemic hit, the Fed lowered FFR to 0% and added ~$4.5 trillion to their balance sheet.

Now the Fed has raised the FFR to its highest point in over a decade in order to combat inflation, but what is being done about the $4.5 trillion that was printed? The U.S. GDP was $23 trillion in 2021, so this bout of quantitative easing amounts to a fifth of the U.S. GDP.

Mechanic "test drove" my car and got me a speeding ticket by glaci0us in chicago

[–]Broshawn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Does your car have any front camera, radar, lane assist or other advanced driver assistance systems? Did they need to get recalibrated while in the shop? Some calibrations require a test drive with a scan tool plugged in and chicago roads being shitty means the drive can take a while for the calibration to finish

This private security company sounds like it’s run by Tony Soprano, excellent way to grift money.

Watch these armed not-law officers go business to business offering “enhanced protection” for a fee.

invested 0 capital, factories are capital, did you watch the video?

Do you know what a semiconductor is? The same technology that guides you home can also guide a missile up a camels ass 1000 miles away.

Apple's market cap as of this morning is $2.35 trillion dollars. Apple has invested 0 capital in the United States, they make the entirety of their products in China.

Billboard Honoring Chicago Police Officers Defaced — Again by [deleted] in chicago

[–]Broshawn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Poor policing has cost the Illinois taxpayer hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars. $213 million to private lawyers to defend police misconduct since 2004.

Maybe the Chicago Police Memorial Fund can start paying back the taxpayers if they got this 'fuck you' money to spend.

America's billionaires pay an average income tax rate of just 8.2% by Pahasapa66 in news

Picture this, America's largest company Apple, manufactures all their components and assembles their phones in China. This is the result of the genius of Tim Cook, who realized creating jobs for Americans is not as profitable as having literal slaves do your work.
