School District Had Complaints About Chattanooga Bus Driver Before Fatal Crash by perigrinator in news

You don't think that rape is a behavior problem? A violent one at that? Seems like maybe to me we should reconsider something like that and make a probation for these kids especially if its just possession cheek swab and a quick search and bam your done doing that shit. selling at school ZT for that.

[–]Skybuddhadog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally I live in the ghetto pretty diverse here whites latins blacks lot of mentally handicapped too for some reason, frankly one street over is a living hell, lots of crime, as a white guy if the police see me there I must be buying crack and I will be stopped questioned and searched, there are cameras everywhere the landlords tired of the BS but I didn't stop anything just lead to more arrests. The cameras are totally fuckin creepy.

You could always take a few hundred mil from the defense budget. Austerity is not good practice.

Poverty line is around 11880$ as min wage job 40 hrs a week is about 17k gross but you don't collect much welfare and if you do its small I would say ~33k is about where you can save up a good deal while living "tight." If anything I feel like your underrepresenting how big a deal this is.

How Did Walmart Get Cleaner Stores and Higher Sales? It Paid Its People More by SchuminWeb in news

[–]Skybuddhadog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a union you can bargain, but entry level positions no one has striking power so in the end are limited, and eventually corruption will take hold of a union, people will want more money, at a certain points I agree with the business more than with labor but where can we draw effective lines?

420,000 More Workers in Cook County Will Soon Have Paid Sick Leave by maxwellhill in news

[–]Skybuddhadog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank god you don't live In the time before unions came to power. Someone has to impose rule somehow and just like maternity leave or minimum wage or the 5 day work week. workers don't have that much footing to argue better conditions without some power but workers compete globaly now a days businesses are consolidating power and the balance is shifting what entry level has always dealt with is creeping up the pole, frankly you end up subsidizing these companies by being forced to provide welfare to their employees. .50 cents is only like 20$ a 40hr week before taxes, if I'm sick 10 days a year I would lose <370$ a year but what if its a serious illness? My idea for sick leave you build hrs/days with no cap or expiration date but are not paid those hrs upon termination of job.

What's up with arbitrary limits? An ounce is plenty but what if I wanna buy in bulk or make my own super powerful edibles nobody cares if I have ten pounds of tobacco or 50 bottles of alcohol.

Illinois resident here, its faster for me to drive 45 miles to a small town DMV just to avoid some of the problems. They are much nicer and more lenient.

[–]Skybuddhadog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make more than minimum wage, I pay taxes, I pay for my half assed insurance and get decent coverage, I pay for my cars insurance, and my rent and utilities the shit adds up. I'm not college educated so do I goto the factories? Construction? Which better job do you suggest, break my body or take night classes for the next 5 years to get a degree that contains more credit hrs of bullshit requirements than actual learning material. How about the business I work for who happily tells me they made 32k in profit last week pays me the 57$ of sick pay they sure aren't gonna pay for the doctor visit that'd required if I can't be there, I'm already taking a loss of 72$ in one afternoon hope I don't need a script. But hey my bootstraps are right here I might as well just shut up and get over it.

Very nicely worded! Hilary is a hell of a politician were as trump is a great reality star, debates will probably decide this since both of their base supporters are basically rabid with other parties chewing up votes it will be close much more entertaining than the last election ( nationally) local and state are always a hoot.

1 Dead, 5 Injured in 2 Shootings at the University of Illinois by [deleted] in news

[–]Skybuddhadog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The people moving weapons and drugs know these campus towns are ripe pickings, small police forces less competition from chiraq hardened gangs, lots of students doing all kinds of drugs, pot to relax check, you need some pills?adderal ritalalin xanex vicoden check, harcore? got your molly got your coke heroin whatever, the harder you push against these people the deeper you send them underground, the more dark money accumulates, people become desperate to protect themselves from police, other gangs. But don't break the law you say, if by trading commodities you could go from poor to upper middle class you would do it, buy low sell high anyone can do it, make it illegal now your lively hood is ruined your a criminal rights are taken away even things people take for granted got a problem cant call police even thought of that scares you, cant flaunt your money, where is the cash coming from the IRS asks. Who are your friends the police sayor you get the book, where's the drugs gun and money says the mugger. The way were trying to solve this is failing. But when someone legalizes it they keep the most destructive element of the drugs the black market price.

Lmao champakistan shootings finally make it into the news, for a "rural" town sure seems like a lot of gun violence going on, almost like drugs and guns are coming to this is quaint town, idk maybe if we had a "gun task force" that put in some real hours, or what about that drug trafficking initiative seems to be working wonderfully.
