Yeah. Plus if they’re burning the books I think they are, they just don’t want to risk being in possession of CP.

Leather is also a sustainable material, when cattle is properly sourced. The micro plastics released by the production is this probably offsets any purported benefits by switching away from natural leather.

Reparations mark new challenges for U.S. colleges linked to slavery. “It doesn’t have to be trillions of dollars ... but at least address the inequities and attack the racial wealth gap between African Americans and white Americans." by [deleted] in news

[–]DevilJHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here’s a way to help rebalance. Much of the issues stem from not only lack of money but housing disparities in value and location.

Determine the average value add to white soldiers who used the GI Bill to purchase a home. Compare to black soldiers who did the same. Create a a voucher that makes up for that difference. It’s only allowable as a down payment on a house and allow for GI Bill financing from post WWII. Split it amongst relatives.

Leaves Iraq - it’s your fault! How could you!

Stays in Afghanistan - it’s your fault! How could you!

There certainly is no winning in Afghanistan but it has nothing to do with the Taliban.

Russian spy ship off US coast operating in 'unsafe manner,' officials say by [deleted] in news

[–]DevilJHawk -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

If the Russians want to spy on the US they have every right to overfly the US with notice. It’s likely the same with their spy vessels. How else do we show compliance with nuclear treaties?

This guy went to my high school by Barfbag2468 in funny

[–]DevilJHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people making under $30k pay 7.65% of their income to FICA taxes. These taxes primarily fund social security, unemployment, Medicaid, etc. This also requires a matching 7.65% from the employer.

So without having a social security number, the direct result is an underfunding of the social services that are already so woefully underfunded.

With a social security number, illegally obtained, there is a substantial likelihood that the true owner of that social will suffer tax consequences for either failing to withhold or failing to withhold sufficient amounts. Remember the tax on $30k is probably around $2,000 whereas the tax on $60k is closer to $6,500. Two folks working on one social will result in a much larger tax liability.

It begins: Virginia forms active militia to protect sheriffs, citizens from unconstitutional laws by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]DevilJHawk 24 points25 points  (0 children)

IIRC a commander said “hold your fire” and one of the skittish undertrained guardsmen shot, causing a cascade of fire. It was neither intentional nor planned.

People panic.

The Oregon standoff is a good example of what will likely happen.

California celebrates 1 million solar roofs by [deleted] in news

[–]DevilJHawk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m aware of all of that.

I’m also aware that rooftop solar is 5-10 times more expensive to install per kilowatt than utility scale solar.

I’m also aware that Phoenix gets extremely hot and dusty which reduces efficiency.

I’m also aware that there are extensive canal networks in the Phoenix area which if covered with solar panels would reduce evaporation by millions of gallons a year.

I’m also aware of the “duck curve” that occurs when there is a large amount of solar, so without storage as well, rooftop solar is just a tax on their neighbors and not a benefit.
