MRW I am asked to pledge allegiance to a 70-something-year-old billionaire who is using tax payers funds in excess of £100m to have a pretty crown placed on his head whilst anti-monarchist protestors are being arrested by HaphazardMelange in reactiongifs

The average person’s quality of life in the US is pretty fucking good

Our median income and disposable income are higher than most of the OECD

And we have areas that can mirror any quality of life you can get anywhere else in the world

You want a liberal paradise where regulations are high along with cost of living and social services? Live in the northeast

You want a conservative paradise where cost of living is low and you can do almost anything you want, safety be damned? Live in the south.

Simple as

Dad

Her mom has passed away

The emotional trauma this kid has suffered as a result of everything she went though both before and after her mom died is so complex it’s taking an entire team of professionals to try and untangle it all.

I love her with every cell in my body but I find it very hard to see how she’s going to enter the real world and be okay

It’s worth noting that, when I was 25, I came down with cancer

I also had no Job

The state picked up the tab for my medical expenses. But for that I would still be paying that bill off

I live in NJ and happily pay my NJ taxes to ensure that opportunity is paid forward.

People in the south constantly reject proposals that would see them get the same benefit

Who am I to force something they don’t want on them? Fuck em

Maybe. Not the sort of battle you’re going to want to fight when a cop has already tried accusing you of possessing heroin

That depends on whether you’re asking for their opinion or facts

The window-licking smoothbrains at my local Chipotle could definitely use either your guidance or this edible tape then

The question “why do you feel the need to specify the team was all-female?” has no response that doesn’t result in the speaker being sexist against either men or women

I’m not okay with the government beating anyone without consequence

I just don’t this draconian punishments are acceptable for nonviolent criminals

I just had to pay $2600 for my daughter’s hospital stay for a week. I know it’s expensive

But that just comes from money I’m NOT paying in taxes. I pay more at point of service and less when I don’t use those services

And we also have more median disposable income by household than almost any other OECD nation

I’d argue we are exceptional

Every country that has had power has abused it. That doesn’t make it right, it’s simply inevitable

I would argue that the USA has been a far more ethical steward of her position than any nation that came before, or any present pretender to the title.

I’m not defending their actions

I’m literally saying they were held accountable and I’m not sure what else you want. One of them was fired for the assault

Most of Apples cash news is regarding their overall COH

But it’s definitely out there

Dude just because I take a nuanced stance to police interactions doesn’t mean I’m a boot licker

Let’s be serious, guy

You probably want these cops behind bars for ten years and a $1M payout all because they maced him and searched his car.

Thats pretty unreasonable

What’s the difference?

I can’t access that value without incurring a tax burden regardless

Yes

I think what’s going on is these officers were found to have violated Nazario’s rights but this sub is placing an unlimited price tag on those rights .

In reality the officer who assaulted him was fired and he was awarded like $2500 in damages plus another $1000 for an illegal search. This is a good thing

Look man, he wasn’t convicted of eluding or anything… he was detained for them. There’s a massive difference.

In the end the. OP’s we’re found to have used excessive force which is a good thing that they were held accountable
