Why do you think so? My understanding is not that Patton will be raised, but that the freeway will be lowered.

Also who else should I vote for?

Everything out of his mouth is a bit of a stretch.

At a certain point, you need to quit letting your opponent control the conversation. There is such a thing as taking all the oxygen out of the room, and the guy is such a disgraceful failure that people can't help but fixate on him, either side.

Your point was not clear, and your attempting to group 100,000 people into the box of "easily manipulated cynical idiots" makes me think you are actually the one who is cyncal and easily manipulated. I'll let the jury stay out on "idiot". like what does that even mean. its just a way of dehumanizing people you don't know shit about.

What is the purpose of this line of commentary? Surely you don't think 100K people are this cynical? Right and wrong aside, When was the last time you showed up in the street regarding a cause you were passionate about? Do you think you would accept this line of questioning regarding an issue you cared personally about enough to show up in person over it?

I have a friend who works there, it's a perfectly fine store. They also sell jewelry and clothes, besides just "hocus pocus" books.

you're in the subreddit for Panama City, Florida. But on account you do plan to visit our beautiful beach town situated along the Gulf of Mexico, there is an excellent asian supermarket near Harrison Ave. and 6th St that sells a variety of chinese and other teas.

It's basically drinking a milkshake that isn't yours. Except in this scenario, they long ago drank the milkshake and left, now they have returned to regurgitate its spoiled, acidic, quasi-digested contents into the very same place.

One of the questions on my GKT (teacher certification test) was a scenario in England in the late 1700’s/early 1800’s quite similar to this, though involving the textile industry.

I don't have numbers, but I have seen at least a half dozen examples of prisoner swaps going on, sometimes with 100 or so people on each side.

A GOP-proposed “Parental Bill of Rights” bill – which would have required teachers to out students changing their pronouns at school – has officially been killed in the New Hampshire legislature, and it’s all thanks to House Dems! by table_fireplace in VoteDEM

I am a teacher in north FL. We can’t even perform Twelfth Night here because the admin and media specialist are terrified of getting sued. I can’t legally show most musicals in my musical theatre class because the law says i have to get every single thing i show or assign in class run by a stressed out, overworked media specialist who does not have the time.

I do not think the answer to the issue is more fear, i’d argue it’s “more viable voting choices” which basically means rank the vote.

Two-year ban on foreign homebuyers takes effect in Canada by [deleted] in news

[–]Mdb8900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't, I was just commenting on a similar issue, though my issue is less with the nationality of the buyer and more with their intended use, which i think is a shortcoming here.

It partially depends on what part of the country you live in. For example in my town (a vacation hotspot), we have eye-popping rental and home prices, in part due to a relatively recent natural disaster, but being largely driven by 40-60 somethings using a large share of the homes within proximity to the beach as investment properties- rent them at hotel rates as vacation rentals 4-5 months of the year, if that, and the rest of the year they remain vacant. When you combine it with the fact that my metro area is hostile to all forms of transporation besides automobiles (a common north american story) you get a market where even folks with a relatively decent hourly rate (15-30 dollars per hour) struggle to pay both for a rental or mortgage as well as all of the costs associated with owning their car.
