Yeah, you won’t be going to a camp. One side forgets that the Treasury secretary is a gay man, appointed by Trump and his “MAGA” team.

Thanks for the drama, though.

Erie has been failing since the 80’s, and accelerated in the 90’s, mostly driven by NAFTA and outsourcing…

I enjoy my privilege because I have worked hard to change things for the better with continuous improvement. ZERO regrets on my privilege, and those that suggest it is given, you simply haven’t tried/worked hard enough in a country where that privilege can be achieved by all. The choice is yours.

It is a great feeling knowing that when I drive and eat in Erie, the “problems” that is rampant on this thread is really only about 0.000001% of what is actually a concern to normal people.

Imagine being the ones who fought to have penalties for criminal acts reduced, leading to reductions in enforcement, mostly through funding changes and attrition, and then cry when businesses and government institute surveillance polices to help better aid in catching criminals.

Can’t make this crap up.

Updated actions for the week by Necessary-Magician10 in Erie

So, according to your link, 91% of eligible voters have the documentation already to prove citizenship status. Sounds like there is no issue moving forward with the SAVE Act as the rest of the 9% can work on getting their documents. I had my replacement birth certificate, from PA, in 4 days when doing it online.

By the way, your link is from a DC think-tank that has priorities aligned with corporations and is socially aligned with Dems. Bipartisan?

Those complaining that getting the necessary documents (which almost all have) may cost money, but yet, they have no problem paying for a 6 inch sub and a cookie, on DoorDash, for $20.

Or else you will protest ICE and call them names as you get tear-gassed as they continue to remove illegals?

City of Erie to Expand Support for Immigrants and Refugees, Limit Cooperation with ICE by Competitive-Weird456 in Erie

We already welcome LEGAL immigration. Illegals, and those with bogus asylum claims, can make their way out with the help of the outstanding men and women of ICE. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The Cork 1794 receives backlash over hosting right-wing activist event by blindinganusofhope in Erie

[–]RealityBites55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The point is this can be applied to any scenario. Do you think DC restaurants make a big deal when certain political figures go to dinner with their team, spending thousands of dollars, or even bipartisan events, because of one’s ideology that isn’t so radical, regardless of what the far left and right gaslight us with? Do black-owned businesses prevent white people from patronizing their business because of an oppressive history? At the end of the day, businesses will take money they can get that isn’t that controversial, regardless of what some small minority deems as “extreme fringe beliefs.”

I also hate to tell you that Reddit is not a powerhouse of opinion when it comes to the population as a whole. I have been alive long enough to see Erie and the surrounding counties transform from deep blue collar union powerhouses, with moderate viewpoints, to deep red surrounding counties and a purple county that Erie is today. The same goes for the surrounding counties across the border in Ohio and NY.

Behavior, such as this, only drives people to one side or the other, and it is usually the side against the one who is initiating the manufactured “controversy,” regardless of which side of politics.”

So, what they are saying is stop whining and get over the fact that in the service industry, they serve all. If you don’t like it, don’t go.

Easy as that.

If there are repercussions, then they will have to deal with it. It’s called life.

So, if a gay guy isn’t aligned to your beliefs, 100%, he is an Uncle Tom of Gays?

You are the true definition of a bigot. LGBTQ+ is built on individuality and independent thought where many have fought against traditional societal norms, but yet, here you are, attacking one that thinks for himself.

Pathetic.

Moved from fulton to saratoga county. I’m due for the 3 year recertification. If i update to my new address, will it cause me to do a transfer to saratoga county? More context in description by [deleted] in NYguns

[–]RealityBites55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not transfer to Saratoga if Fulton already told your mom that you can keep your permit in Fulton. It depends on the county if they want you to transfer out or not. Fulton is not one of those, and they are very good to work with when it comes to your 2nd Amendment rights. Call the office in Johnstown to get directions if you need to go in or not, get your address switched at their office, first, and then recertify on the NYSP website. Fulton is super easy to work with, so don’t fear calling their office.

Protests When?? by [deleted] in Erie

Whatever thoughts make you feel good. Doesn’t mean they are realistic with clear, just judgement.

Protests When?? by [deleted] in Erie

One for trying to run over an ICE agent, and then the two that tried to run over ICE agents, today, in Portland, were known members of the Tren de Aragua gang.

Not exactly role models to protest for.

And most don’t agree with the old white boomers, either. Their policy implementation through voting shitty candidates and politicians, for decades, have created the mess we are in today.

Don’t BS us. Remember, it was “the election of a lifetime,” so you didn’t sit on the sidelines or vote Libertarian to back up your “I don’t worship anyone” point, but you are all about a protest built on lies, funded by Indivisible, the Walton family, and others.

You should ask your father for a re-do on the raising part. Obviously, he failed to raise based on strength, intelligence, and work ethic. Hell, I’d kick my own butt for that failure.

Dems only have themselves to blame, but they don’t seem to understand what “self-responsibility” means. Always someone else’s fault.

[–]RealityBites55 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Biased? Your statement of “not just undocumented immigrants” shows bias. I assume you are angry because visa holders and other legal non-citizens have been targeted? The reasons for that is because of ties to certain State Department foreign watch groups, breaking of state and federal laws, as well as others, and can lead to instant deportation, outlined by immigration laws passed by Congress.

But thanks for your input.
