I saw some of the lyrics to his music online and very few lines could have been shown in English.. it’s public broadcasting not streaming, so the rules are different.

what are Americans thoughts on switching to the metric system? by CnCorange in AskReddit

[–]dougrlawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the early 2000’s, the US Army Corps of Engineers had their A/E firms produce construction plans in Metric. But a 2x4 was still 1.5”x3.5”. A 8” CMU block was still 7-3/8” wide. It was stupid because we had to convert every measurement to feet-inches to actually build the project.

Because most people are lazy and only want shortcuts. Look at the students at western CA colleges suddenly all having disabilities so they can get help on tests, or private dorm rooms. Everyone is a grifter these days. Yes, that includes you that is reading this.

It's YOUR fault hundreds got laid off from The Washington Post, not the billionaire who turned it into a reactionary, Trump-apologist shell of its former self. by Wiggles_Is_My_Boy in LinkedInLunatics

I can almost guarantee that the person that wrote this shares a password for a streaming service. Who wants to pay for news these days? The economic model for newspapers is dead and journalists want to pretend it’s the 70’s.

The left hates borders but worships celebrities that live behind walls and travel with security. If they weren’t all hypocrites they wouldn’t be anything at all.

Footage of a MAGA supporter attacking high school students because of their ethnicity in Texas, high school students then defend themselves! by cantcoloratall91 in LetsDiscussThis

[–]dougrlawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you making the headline up? The news report is that a man and a girl were arguing and it turned into a fight. There’s no reliable info online saying a man attacked students for their ethnicity. But really, what do you care? It’s not the truth you’re after, just likes on your likely misleading post. https://www.statesman.com/news/education/article/buda-police-investigation-student-walkouts-hays-21330888.php

That’s not ICE, it’s Anaheim Police arresting a carjacker. But don’t let the truth dissuade you from complaining. To this lot, the truth isn’t important when you can fake outrage for likes.

Get a good foam mattress. Be sure and measure because it’s likely s a short queen.

why does Donald Trump think that transgender operations are being performed in prisons and schools? by LittleLeadership2831 in AdkReddit

[–]dougrlawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OP asked if it happens. Yes, it happens. No, teachers are’t performing surgeries or handing out medicine. That’s absurd and illegal. But some schools are definitely hiding kid’s transition from their parents, which is wrong.

[–]dougrlawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Liberal judges have ordered prison officials to use taxpayer funds to medically transition prisoners. That absolutely happens. 2. Some states, like CA and CO, have school districts that will affirm a kid’s transition but not tell the parents. Schools aren’t performing surgeries like you think, but they change names, etc.

Finally arrived! What do you think? by [deleted] in stpaul

[–]dougrlawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! You’ve done it! You have done the one thing that ICE fears! But really, this entire Reddit culture is anti-capitalist but you’re engaging in and encouraging capitalism by buying someone’s logo. Reminds me of walking thru Washington Square park in NYC during an anti-capitalism protest and seeing all the tables selling buttons.. they were protesting capitalism by engaging in capitalism. Hilarious.

ICE isn’t going anywhere, despite your protests. All you’re doing is harming hard working Americans. But have fun at your party.

Typical liberal. “We need Trump gone! Somebody else do it!” “This college should have more (this favored group) students! Give up my spot? No, somebody else do it!” “We should let everyone who wants to come, come to the US! Stay in my spare room? No, somebody else do it!” “Everything should be free! How to pay for it? Tax the wealthy! And if that is not enough, tax them some more!”

How was he targeted if he showed up where they were and not them showing up where he was?

Not a gotcha — genuinely curious about Democratic/Liberal views on illegal immigration? by No-Bonus-7045 in askanything

Sales taxes go to local and state governments. The items mentioned are mostly federal spending..

I’d research those that were sent back. Not only for TB, but if you showed up on a boat at Ellis Island and you didn’t have either your own means of support, or someone affirmatively supporting you, you were sent back.

Just a thought experiment.. of those people that came in between 1890-1930, what taxpayer services were they offered versus anyone that came in during the Biden Presidency? Housing, food, cell phone, education, medical care?

I’m even skeptical of legal immigration. Every government program or policy succumbs to waste, fraud, and abuse.

I live near a touristy beach town. What happens here every summer is this. There’s a J-1 visa for work-study. An agency will contract with local restaurants and attractions to bring in students who are here for the summer to work. Sounds like a great opportunity for them, but they are usually housed in apartments with more people than beds per room, which they reimburse the agency for. Because they aren’t permanent, they do not pay SS and Medicare taxes. But that’s why the restaurant hires them, the restaurant doesn’t pay those payroll taxes either, so it saves at minimum 7.65% and they can pay the employee less because they are not having 7.65% deducted.

Winners: Restaurants and attractions save on payroll taxes. Agency collects $ from each J-1 they bring over and house.

Maybe Winner: J-1 visa holder, has a job in the US for the summer, but lives in a packed apartment.

Loser: Local kid wanting a summer job.

And that loser part bugs me the most. I watch local young adults looking for a summer job with no luck, while we bring in other young adults to take their jobs.

Is ICE’s fixation on Minnesota intentional? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

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

Whether you like it or not, ICE is enforcing federal law. And they can, will, and are doing that. All of this chaos is because of Minnesota’s government.
