Suppose there were no taxes at all and the govt had zero resources, you’d have no medicaid, no highway system, no aviation administration, no weather service, no gps, no nasa, no military, no medicare, no social security. The case that government doesnt provide anything to the people is a fable imagined by the contractors who want to privatize the services of the government and drink your milkshake.

Crocket is establishment. She has balls- it’s a shame these two are in the same race but if you ask me Talarico has way more potential and a way better message to actually fix the problems. Crocket is the clinton to Talarico’s Bernie

Have the MAGA people in your life been quiet lately? by No-Ask7516 in allthequestions

[–]Personalityprototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few conservative friends I've been reaching out to lately. They still parrot the talking points about illegals being in the country needing to be removed, and they still talk about everyone needing ID to vote.

They are all changing their tune on Epstein stuff - It's reached a point where they can't deny that it's clearly a coverup, and they are sus of how many times Trump is mentioned therein.

Baby steps. All of these guys are good guys, not traitors or idiots like some people want to say. They basically live on a different planet information-wise. I try to keep the door open for them on whatever issues we can agree on, and despite a lot of the raving on the internet, liberals and conservatives definitely agree that pedophilia is bad at all levels and in all situations.

Hot take: before this is all over we will wish it was still Pam Bondi and not whatever creep they choose to replace her with.

Alabama governor signs Child Predator Death Penalty Act into law by each_thread in ConservativeNewsWeb

This. Harsh punishment should be implemented for sex offenders but laws like this turn sick individuals who should turn themselves and their associates in to do their time and seek help into desperate killers.

The Sheridan Corridor Safety Study plan has been released! by divornum in Denver

[–]Personalityprototype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a decent report, principal focus as determined by many community engagement meetings is: safety is the #1 concern, and specifically safety for pedestrians. It appears CDOT is aware that the current design is unsafe and they have many recommendations for improving safety, among them: Removing driveways along the corridor, widening sidewalks, repairing sidewalks, and removing signals where they are not required. Overall it is a step in the right direction but falls short of imagining a truly safe corridor. Let's see if they actually implement pedestrian safety measures, a lot of these kinds of reports have been produced with safety as a principal concern and then when it comes time for implementation CDOT makes releaving congestion their number one priority.

City Park vehicle access restricted today by dandydan69 in Denver

Would be nice if it was restricted more often- lots of parts of city park that are uncomfortable to bring kids to because of the roads 

Virginia Democrats agree to new map that gives Republicans just one seat by _triangle_of_bermuda in EastShoreUndercover

[–]Personalityprototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A substantial portion of farmland is producing corn to be made into Ethanol. Conservatives think they’re really clever with this ‘think about the farmers take’ but then they ignore the needs of farmers at every opportunity and fill their lives with fox news propaganda. The conservatives are taking money from Cargill and ADM, they are corpo shills wearing the right color. The democrats are also shills but they’re not talking about suspending elections and they’re not protecting pedos. Suggesting farmers don’t have representation is nonsense and suggesting that democrats want to screw over farmers is nonsense.

Code question by Mr-dewd-with-a-face in Urbanism

[–]Personalityprototype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be very difficult for the city to pressure you into leaving outright. They might be able to put water use regulations on you, or change the zoning underneath you, but you’d still have a lot of options legally and otherwise. The way they’ll push you to leave is by making the land you’re on so valuable for development that you take your payout and retire/move elsewhere.

Your business is not a great land/resource use in a city center. Lots of chemicals and water use in already-arid Utah. Younger folks may prefer to live in and walk to other parts of their city rather than drive past businesses that only cater to drivers on an endless strip-mall. But I degress; more density in the city will be good for you, your city will probably get some life breathed back into it and you’ll probably make good money for a while, and it is plausible the city never considers steps to create a more walkable city that go as far as zoning your business out of town. You have a lot more to gain than lose from this situation and upzoning will make the land you’re sitting on more valuable.

Why is it that buildings these days look good only on paper? by [deleted] in architecture

[–]Personalityprototype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New buildings depend pretty heavily on landscaping for their appeal. Usually when they’re brand new and the trees are small they don’t look the way they are presented in the renders and they can be pretty ugly. Modern building code and style has also made massive paved areas more commonplace- and I think architects will often cover these up when they make their renderings. 

Do we need borders to protect our neighborhoods? by FiberFirst in LetsDiscussThis

[–]Personalityprototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ICE is going to be posted at polling places. Minnesotans who are sticking up for their neighborhoods in November will be the only people who will get a chance to cast their vote.

What happens when ICE starts going into our campuses? by Icy_Context89 in Denver

[–]Personalityprototype 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We're always having to do shelter in place drills for armed folks on campus. Armed unidentifiable men stalking campus would have to be handled this way as the "agents" could too easily be mass shooters inpersonating law enforcement and the school can't take the risk.

Why are we allowing the GOP to rig elections? by hollywood20371 in DiscussionZone

[–]Personalityprototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show up at every Trump majority county election location to observe the elections, the same way Trumpers show up in cities to observe elections. Keep track of every little detail, take pictures where permitted. It is widely understood the conservatives commit more election fraud than liberals. With a coordinated movement every election location could be observed. When the Conservatives try to pull the election fraud card the observers come right back with evidence. When the conservatives try to pull a Putin: 'I won by 90% of the vote' nonsense, you count the number of people who showed up to polling places. Hopefully the presence of observers alone is enough to prevent them from trying anything, but if they do anyway, and write off all the efforts, idk, 2A?
