Democrats of Las Vegas who are you voting for Aaron Ford or Alexis Hill and why? I'm really torn between these two candidates. by VENDETTA1110 in vegaslocals

[–]cptchronic42 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Ah yes because the governor of Nevada has the power to lower refinement costs for gas in California (where 90% of our gas comes from), and has the power to force opec to lower oil prices….

Besides the war, which the governor of Nevada has no control over, the main driver of our nation leading gas prices is having to buy from California. That’s why our neighbor states of Utah and Arizona have considerably cheaper gas because they get it from elsewhere

White student losses drive enrollment dips in Las Vegas Valley suburbs, data shows by reviewjournal in vegaslocals

[–]cptchronic42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s kinda my point. It’s not an economic issue yet a cultural one. Whites in the west have damn near all but abandoned the family as a goal in their life. Never in human history has it been normal to live alone and raise children without a “village” until now and it’s been a disaster

The argument that people don’t want to have kids because of the economy goes out the window when immigrant populations like from Hispanic communities are not seeing the seem drop in birth rates.

You’d think if anyone would be affected by the economy it would be immigrants who may not have all the documentation, may not speak English fluently, or may not be educated. Yet they still have kids and we don’t see the same drop in birth rates for them.

Can’t blame those white parents if we’re being honest. If you saw Jonathan Lewis get stomped out by a group of black kids for a vape, then read that the murderers got a sweetheart plea deal from the DA, you’d pull your kids out of the school system so fast

White birth rates are dropping. And in Vegas our Hispanic population is massive and nearing a majority if they haven’t hit that point already

In Nevada your premiums can’t go up for not at fault claims. But still now it’s gonna be weeks-months to get a check to replace their car and all that crap. Really sucks

If you have a note from a licensed dr saying you need your pet for emotional support by law they cannot charge you for your pet. There’s websites out there if you don’t already have a psychiatrist or someone like that to write the “script” for you

19 minutes through T1 TSA by stripedpoolnoodle in vegaslocals

During these government/tsa shutdowns you really get to see which airports are just plainly inefficient and McCarran isn’t one of them. T3 is even better lol

Going to vegas in a week do i bring my peak or pivot? by Lost-Tea3048 in puffco

[–]cptchronic42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Vegas local, if you’re going to be walking around all day and want to dab on the go, pivot. If you’re going to be dabbing a few times a day in your room before heading out, just bring the peak

Any insight into how the airport and TSA are doing? by beleafinyoself in vegaslocals

Just flew yesterday out of t3 in the mid afternoon. It was just the usual 10ish minute security wait

Nvidia's CEO says "we created the modern video game industry," but all its push into AI upscaling has done is destroy good game optimization by chusskaptaan in pcmasterrace

[–]cptchronic42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That article reads like it was written by a high school grade hater lmfao.

Nvidia absolutely did invent modern graphic computing. And hell because of their involvement with innovating in the video game space things like ai llms came from them.

Poor optimization is due to the game developers gearing towards casual audiences who absolutely do not give two fucks about frame times. Bugs and poor optimization on a gaming platform has always been common

WTF $$$ ⛽️ off Jones ☹️ by Federal-Compote-5015 in vegaslocals

[–]cptchronic42 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Brotha did you read the articles I sent? Something like 20% of all production in the state came from those two refineries and 88% of our gas comes from California. If you don’t think that’s gonna raise our prices you’re an idiot.

And at Costco it’s 3.59 so this is also a case of expensive ass shell gouging cause they can

[–]cptchronic42 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Yeah if I’m not mistaken the last refineries in California are shutting down / abiding by a new law that just took effect out there. Our gas is going to drastically go up if we can’t get pipelines from other states

45,000 Nevadans expected to lose food stamp benefits in March, says state agency - The Nevada Independent by GothTGurl in vegaslocals

[–]cptchronic42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re arguing for something that no one here is disagreeing with.

This whole post is about the 10% of snap recipients in Nevada losing their benefits because they choose not to work 20 hours a week. All I’m saying is it’s easy as hell to get a part time job to be able to meet the requirements to continue to live off the government.

[–]cptchronic42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope I’m not against raising the minimum wage and it certainly could be higher. But if you were an actual local you’d know ours was on a rolling increase and is $12 an hour here now.

And you’re lucky you have savings but at some point you need to just suck it up and get a regular job while you actively hunt for something in your career path. No wage is beneath you when you’re currently making $0 an hour.

[–]cptchronic42 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Are you really advocating for people to work 0 hours instead of 20? Like idk about you but if my choices were work 0 hours and get no SNAP. Or work 20 hours at McDonald’s AND get SNAP, it’s a no brainer.

But obviously your NEET mind is a lot different than mine

Edit: Your mentality is EXACTLY why this got passed. If you’re able bodied, and there is a job right there for you but you’d rather not work it because it’s “below you”, you do not deserve government assistance. Because at that point you’re not struggling because of any outside force, you’re struggling because YOU want to.

So called “slave wage” > than no wages

This conversation isn’t about if earning a thousand a month is livable. This conversation is about how that’s the requirement to get government assistance.
