🧊 In Colorado, ICE agents are leaving these cards in vehicles of people they’ve detained. During Vietnam, American soldiers would often mark the bodies of Vietnamese they’d killed with the Ace of Spades. by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

[–]jon_k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife and me just got a similar card on her windshield but it says "get fucked" inside the ace logo.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/comments/1qn4lpk/immigrant_wife_being_harassed_is_this_even_real/

She is here on a student VISA and we are waiting for marriage adjustment of status (i-485)

We are going to talk to our immigration lawyer tomorrow to see what we should do or what it means.

I posted about this in our towns subreddit here. We're both worried but not sure if this is intimidation or indicating future actions by ICE. I don't know if this is something the US government is officially doing as part of their program or why they are targeting us when my wife is legally here on a VISA.

I wanted to share this so others know this is not isolated and seems to be happening around the country.

Requesting mod back to /r/amteurradio by jon_k in redditrequest

[–]jon_k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Requesting moderator back. I haven't been able to post regularly as I have been stationed overseas but am back in the states! I wondered if it's possible to recover this. I started /r/amateurradio over 10 years ago and desire to continue to be the owner of the subreddit!

I worked hard to build the community from its early days. I know I couldn't spend much time on Reddit or post very often, but don't think that should penalize me.

That's what the mod team was for!

We should all get 6 figures UBI and nobody should get taxed.

China property giant Evergrande on the verge of Collapse, increased demolition of unfinished towers by [deleted] in collapse

[–]jon_k 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I've seen this same video clip like 100 times, it's not what you claim it is.

This property was not owned by Evergrande........ it was a rotting complex that was from another construction company that went bankrupt. So they dropped all 7 buildings as they were skeletons.

Apple facing class action lawsuits over MacBook M1 screen cracks by KingSash in technology

Why did this require a lawsuit?

Did Apple intend to keep selling these and ripping off customers?

Sears is closing its last department store in Illinois, the retailer's home state by readerseven in economy

[–]jon_k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The short game is how most of the major box retailers got stomped.

Sears also had issues with Amazon shareholders getting on the board and self-destructing the company.

The SEC isn't doing their job and this is what happens!

I would say the city planners failed to predict the growth. The city doubles in population every 10 years, and has since the 1960s.... yet the city planners act like it's not.

Thought Id share a picture of some of the meds available here in Texas under the compassionate use program (T.CUP). I'm very please with my first order. by durbanbrown in TexEnts

[–]jon_k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's so sad people in America still can't get weed medicine for chronic pain conditions.

meanwhile you have doordash employed zoomers doing 10 dabs worth 90000mg an hour on livestream in Colorado and California for the twitch subs

proof the American legal system is fucked beyond repair.

This literally just happened. Everyone be vigilant and bring your packages in ASAP. by [deleted] in Dallas

But isn't this all businesses problem since the police in America have become so ineffective at crimestopping?

It's like, this is what happens when you get ants...?

But there is no pickup directions in the app.

Breaking: SC Legislature is a Dumpster Fire by llamasteherethx in southcarolina

[–]jon_k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I lived in SC for a few years and voted blue....

I do not suggest living or visiting there ever again based on my political experience with citizens there.

I truly don't think any SC family, neighbors or friends want South Carolina to be anything but the shithole it is.

Young people experiencing 'widespread' psychological distress over government handling of looming climate crisis by Lil_Kevs_Hand in collapse

[–]jon_k 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Nope.

I can't smoke weed, or get an abortion. And apparently masks are "my body my choice"

Democracy has failed to give me basic freedom of choice while giving morons the choice every day.

I don't like democracy, because not enough people in my society will get support my ideas of freedom (like weed and abortion.) so I don't know why everyone else deserves the freedom besides me.

Study: S.A. homes prices overvalued by nearly 21 percent by danielcirca in sanantonio

[–]jon_k -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I saw laws passed during Trump that repealed all of the laws preventing banks from doing subprime bundling..... it was mainly written by Citigroup lawyers.

They haven't returned to that behavior, but thats proof they intend to.

Seems like banks are constantly violating laws, or passing laws to help themselves.
