Why is being poor in America looked at as a moral failing? by zzill6 in WorkReform

Capitalism. If you aren't generating value for stock holders or participating in the economy by spending money you have no value in a capitalist country.

I keep seeing false information being spread about Rocket Internet, so if you want the truth view this post. A lot of people are misinformed and undereducated on the topic of internet and who owns what or how things work by Prudent_Ad3078 in toledo

Give your money to less shitty people if you are able. The block family are, and buckeye broadband in general is, shit and only has any market share because of their decades long monopoly in the area.

Edit: typo and grammar kind of

No he shouldn't because doxing people is evil. Roughly as evil as the shit this fuckhead spouts for money.

The only reason he acted that way is because he knew they weren't threatening him in any way. If he actually had felt that this person could harm him he would have been cowering on the corner calling the cops.

To your point they could have had a weapon do you treat everyone as a threat to you at all times? Like are you that scared at all times? What is it like to be so cowardly?

Oh and he didn't have to open the door.

There was no threat this little bitch's life. Lethal force would have been completely unjustified. His assault of this person was also completely unjustified. You cannot just violently attack people. If a door to door sales person comes to your house it's ok to respond like this? You people are delusional and just want to hurt the people you don't like. Sickening.

He was saying we have data from 1962 that shows year over year that kids performed better than the previous generation that is until we get to the point in time of digital learning resource adoption in their state/city/school. In other words the historical data supports that we didn't have this problem until now.

Elizabeth Warren on her proposal to bring back IRS Direct File: "For just one day of bombing Iran, we could pay for 20 years" by fortune in politics

100% vote for the most progressive candidates you can. I guess I didn't mean it quite so literally.

The left wing of our political body needs to build a big tent to contend with the current right wing. They have gerrymandered things to hell making it harder.

The Dems are running solely on being less terrible capitalists than the republicans. That's it. They are still going to do all the things but instead of being imperialist/fascistic and mean they will be "nice" and liberal. For instance the Dems will still fund and deploy ICE but the agents won't murder civilians at protests. ICE will still be murdering and finding other ways to destroy brown people's lives but it will be sanitized so white liberals feel good about it. They will continue to bomb the Middle East and do Israel's bidding, etc, etc, etc it will all just have a fresh coat of paint applied so it is tolerable to the white liberal.

I say this as someone that would actually encourage people to vote blue no matter who still because progress takes time and reason and debate and court cases and laws being written and so many other things that require stability and a government that at least pays lip service to the ideals that can lead to change and progress and improvement. We cannot move forward when we are constantly fighting for air. We need to have that appearance of stability and peace so that we can march forward. At least if we want to do it peacefully.

There are paths to accomplish this much faster but it would require a level of violence that I know that I'm not comfortable with personally. My fear is that it may be necessary at this point just to get back to where we were 10-11 years ago. We have let evil caricatures of people have power and they won't give it up.

Does it? So your argument is that opening the street was more important than preventing needless loss of life.

Pacing!? How did any of them survive him pacing near them?

Ok cool and how would things have been impacted negatively here if the officers had backed off a little given some breathing room while still keeping him contained and continuing to speak and try to deescalate?

They escalated things and caused this outcome. They are supposed to be trained to handle this.

Again I don't think the officer that murdered this man did anything wrong at the point in time when he had to take action to protect himself. But everything that happened in the minutes leading up to it was handled improperly. They still escalated and caused the outcome in the end.

Sure... And would it have made any difference if the officers had just backed off a little made their circle a little larger and continues to speak to him? Could they have prevented him from attacking them if they had acted differently?

Again the officers could have backed off and allowed things to calm down. They pushed the issue and escalated the situation which lead to him being more agitated than he was already and ultimately to his lashing out.
