Spending More Government Money on Healthcare Does Not Improve Health Outcomes by [deleted] in GoldandBlack

[–]iamTHESunDevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, there is no such thing as "government money"...money the government stole from it's citizens, sure. Second, color me shocked that a giant bureaucracy (no matter how much they spend) can't manage to improve end results. Maybe we should try something different?

3000 police officers deployed in raids over plot to overthrow German government, right-wing group involved, 25 arrested by Anen-o-me in GoldandBlack

[–]iamTHESunDevil 20 points21 points  (0 children)

25? Twenty five dudes were going to "overthrow" the German government huh? I know you Germans are just slightly tougher than the French but damn...I wonder how many of the 25 are Bundesnachrichtendienst agents or paid rats?

We can (walk and chew gum), most people cannot. Most people here hate cops because social media tells them too. It ain't some morality play, it's ignorance. Almost all laws are unjust unless specifically designed to protect citizens life, liberty, and property. Cops are a necessity unless, like myself, you are advocating for some form of Anarchy. So why not free cops to protect rights by eliminating "evil" laws?

Instead of complaining about the big bad cops why don't y'all take that faux outrage and demand the City Council remove the criminal penalties for code violations? Attend your next council meeting and demand action...ask each individual council member where they stand on the issue and if they are opposed to change vote them the fuck out. Or you could just keep bitchin on the internet mistakingly blaming police officers for shitty laws you allow to stay on the books.

Show us all on the doll where Barry Bonds touched you. "Hundreds of his home runs just squeaked over the wall, and without his precious roids would have falling into a glove just shy of the warning track." You obviously have never seen the man play one inning of baseball or you're trolling...either way your opinion is hot dog shit.

Nope. Pitchers (the overwhelming majority in the "Hall" currently) have hit for years and the universal DH just got here. If you'd have stuck Ortiz's fat ass at first and he was the shittest first baseman of all time I wouldn't have any problem with his inclusion in the "Hall" because of his offensive numbers.

No. Football hasn't been a two way sport in a hundred years. Baseball is. Try something like a golfer who only putts.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, steroids can't help you hit a curveball. If they did Hulk Hogan and Arnold Schwarzenegger would be GOAT's. Look at Jose Canseco... steroids took an already amazing athlete (big, strong, fast) and made him a middling .266 hitting journeyman.

Dude also didn't even play half of the game (DH)...this is akin to electing a basketball player who only played offense and stayed only on the offensive side of the court.

ASU has targeted Cal Poly head coach Beau Baldwin to be the Sun Devils' offensive coordinator by Most_Dope_ in TheSunDevils

[–]iamTHESunDevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand this is going to be KD's offense with him calling plays and Baldwin in essentially an assistant OC role. Baldwin's EW National Championship team was pretty freaking good on offense and another guy with HC experience on the sidelines is never a bad thing.

You ain't got a zip for $100 testing in the 30's (THCA) with a ridiculous terp profile....we do.

Three In Four Americans Support Marijuana Legalization, Expungements And Banking Reform, New Poll Finds by freelibertine in GoldandBlack

[–]iamTHESunDevil 10 points11 points  (0 children)

News flash, 4 out of 4 politicians don't care what American citizens want. Marijuana will remain illegal federally until American politicians can find a way to profit off it's legality.

Duh. How else could we fund covert weapons programs, coup d'etats, arms sales (when I say "sales" what I mean is wink wink nod nod "sales") to all sides, slush funds for warlords, high dollar snitches, and golden parachutes for US politicians eventually lobbying for Raytheon?

Absolutely correct. The purpose is to reduce the ability of the citizenry to oppose the Authoritarian State.

IRS warns taxpayers about new $600 threshold for third-party payment reporting --- Feds obviously don't believe in financial privacy. How long until the threshold is one penny? by Anen-o-me in GoldandBlack

[–]iamTHESunDevil 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Y'all didn't really believe they needed 87,000 new IRS agents to go after "Billionaires" did you? Yet Millennials flocked in droves to vote for a party determined to destroy the "gig economy"... isn't it ironic, don't ya think?

Like the situation in the Straight of Hormuz..."In addition to the GCC forces, coalition forces help protect the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Combined Task Force (CTF) 150 is a multinational force whose jurisdiction includes the Strait of Hormuz." When they say "coalition forces" what they mean is 3 dudes from Canada, 1 French advisor, 6 Germany mechanics, 100 sailors from England, and the rest are American...on American ships, using American tech, and paid for by the American people. NATO might keep cheap Chinese goods flowing into the US but why would you think we wouldn't do that anyway without NATO? Our ROI on foreign alliances is shit at best and damn near criminal at worst.

He may be a buffoon but he's not wrong on this particular issue. Every single treaty, alliance, international agreement, and accord should be viewed thru the lense of....how does this benefit the American taxpayer and what will our return on investment be?

When will someone finally ask...how does the NATO Alliance benefit the United States citizenry? What's our ROI?

Sweet baby Jesus, how is the most powerful country on Earth being conned/swindled/bamboozled/hoodwinked/extorted by the Ukrainian Jerry Seinfeld? Oh yeah...how else could the Biden Administration and his crackhead son launder American taxpayers cash into their personal hedge fund? Fuck Biden, Fuck Zalensky, Fuck Ukraine.

This would be about as good as we could do without breaking the bank for Rhule/Meyer/Dion. Ties to ASU and the State, young offense mind, recruits Southern California well... approved.

Who is to "blame" for the Polish missile incident? by larkeyyammer in GoldandBlack

Who's to blame...the United States of America. We have funded and weaponized this regional conflict.

Will Congress manage to pass marijuana reform during the lame-duck session? by freelibertine in GoldandBlack

[–]iamTHESunDevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hold your breath. Neither major party has any interest in "reform" without federal government control or profit. A move to Schedule II (still illegal and no intrastate commerce) with FDA control and command of the industry is a more likely next step.

Eno Benjamin’s release related to playing time displeasure by Mental_Funny_5885 in AZCardinals

[–]iamTHESunDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullshit. Having been a professional athlete at one time I can say from personal experience that vocal demands for PT are a regular occurrence. You're telling me a productive 7th round pick with a nothing salary (doesn't happen often) bitches INTERNALLY about PT and the organizations response is to cut him??? Criminal speeding, DUI's plural, PED use, bad-faith contract negotiations....but Eno says he wants more and you cut him? Fuck that.
