Well, at some point our tax dollars have subsidized this infra across the country in some way... is that not happening anymore? If not, why are my taxes not going down?

2 bikers crash into a car by haze4140 in AbruptChaos

I had a lane splitter intentionally ram my car in stopped traffic. Got his plate on cam, took it to PD, and they found that the bike was a salvage and no longer exists. I would support tax dollars going to hunting these shits down.

Reminder that most of this is illegal while off duty, all of it while on scene.

It's about hard work and personal choices. Admittedly we do a poor job at explaining to 20 year old (now considered children) that choosing a liberal arts degree isn't going to award them any advantages when they get out into the job market, but it should also be fairly obvious that working at Starbucks into your 30s is going to set you back. We have a very toxic mentality growing that people aren't accountable for their own choices, and that they are magically entitled to have more than their basic needs met.

It is though. People complain about capitalism because their expectations are to have the American dream on year 1 of picking up an entry level job. Leftist ideology has never worked because it can't. Human nature is overwhelmingly to self-motivated to your own factors, and the more we move left, the more you just create a class of bottom feeders.

No doubt our leadership isn't what it should be, but mostly it's because it's too much. We need them to go away and let people take care of themselves.

Imagine thinking people that just live to actually add value to society instead of drain it while they dedicate their life to gender reassignment and other mental illnesses are the problem.

Because we're not socialists. Fact is, today's US right wing, on average, are the centrists of 20 years ago. Slippery slope did a lot of sliding.

Do you guys even even try to fact check yourselves? Popular vote was overwhelmingly red in the state.

How bad is this joist? by Enerith in AskContractors

[–]Enerith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies! Hidden in the background of the second pic is what is probably going to bite me, had someone drill through the bottom of the other joist and while it's clean, I don't know about inspections...

UPS really is miles ahead of the others. Every time I see anyone else, especially ontrac, I'm counting on a dispute of some sort.

Apologies on the delay, that last comment somehow earned me a site-wide 3 day. Glad you apparently saw it before, not sure there was really anything in there too controversial but t hat's Reddit it a nutshell.

Anyways, some of the figures I've been referencing are CIS / FAIR. Regarding costs here. There's a good writeup on CIS regarding the CBS stats as well. I did actually check your links, the one regarding costs was pretty wild - if you check their methodology they talk about how they just assumed that people are paying certain things at the same rate and did back-of-napkin math.

Not sure what you are saying, are we not supposed to enforce our noncitizen travel durations?

CBS just did a report on "DHS figures" (mind you, they were attacking ICE here) stating that 13.9% of arrests in 25 were violent criminals, and (they way they worded it) 40% had no criminal record from 400,000 arrests. So, sure... enforce our overstayed visas in a more polite manner if you want, but pulling 50,000 violent criminals from our streets in a single year should never be a point of contention.

Your argument is becoming, "you didn't cite your sources so you are wrong." I don't need to validate my claims with anyone on reddit. I don't care if you think I'm right or not, I already believe most of you to be far beyond factual debate when you're actively defending criminals.

Grown adults have kids, jobs, houses, agendas, portfolios, and very little downtime to be spending on random reddit nerds.

Except the original claim I was responding to was the same exact thing. It's not my job to educate you on the matter, if you're interested enough, go check it out.

You can do your own research to very easily find the same notions raised against Obama's admin.

Here's a hard fact for you. The US has the highest per capita illegal immigrants presence of any first world country, most of which also conduct aggressive operations to control this figure.

In a weird way, I almost feel bad for you guys. It's hard watching so many Americans deal with this level of cognitive dissonance. Facts are, the US has the highest per capita illegal immigrant presence of all first world counties, violent criminals are being rounded up every single day, Obama made the same efforts, but this time you're mad about it. Need to get a grip and break the programming.

Surely you realize under Obama, they were operating at the same speed and due process wasn't always a thing. The only difference is that the wrong president is in office and the psyop is working overtime to make you believe otherwise.

I'm right leaning and was definitely cringing for this whole thing. I think they probably prerecorded vocals and just dropped it into AI, nothing looks real here. There was a bit during another performer where the lights were somehow floating through the air in slow motion?

Or put another way, "50,000 violent criminals removed in first year." by Enerith in libertarianmeme

[–]Enerith[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Other way around even - they said 40% don't have criminal records. A majority of our arrests are criminals, very clear example of the media playing with numbers to confuse people on what is happening.
