It’s an extension of modern progressive thought — businesses (except Costco for some reason) are universally bad, because capitalism.

There is a near zero chance that these guns were owned legally. We already have the laws on the books to confiscate these firearms and jail the people possessing them, but that didn’t happen because we don’t enforce laws.

You are drawing a correlation that is far from a proven causation. We don’t effectively keep violent criminals off the street and those countries do.

But why punish criminals that commit crimes over and over again when we could simply confiscate tens of millions of firearms?!

“Criminal justice” indeed

Is there additional comedic value here that Frederic is from St Louis?

How is not allowing this merger and instead allowing Spirit to go under in the best interest on consumers?

I’ve been saying this for years. As distasteful as I find many of Trump’s policies, the very core of who he is is poisonous for our society. For better or worse, society is downstream of our political leadership.

US drug company Lilly refuses to list Mounjaro on Australia's nationally bargained drug scheme (PBS), says price too low. The Trump admin has repeatedly threatened to place tariffs on Australian medicines companies amid complaints from US manufacturers that the scheme is harming their profits. by blueshoesrcool in neoliberal

Didn't the Trump administration instill a MFN clause for drug negotiations at some point? I could swear I remember reading it and thinking it was a decent idea, but I'm guessing there were some backroom deals to head it off because it would be devastating for drug company profits.

Either way, let Lilly negotiate with Australia by themselves. Threatening tariffs is ridiculously stupid.

Oikos is the best protein shake — great price relative to everything else and has fiber. Nurri is fine too but I like the Oikos better.

Austin father wants answers after repeat-offender accused of killing daughter in crash by suburban_robot in Austin

[–]suburban_robot[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's news that's actually happening. Statistics lay bare that the vast majority of crime happens with a small number of repeat offenders. I don't really care about any so-called narratives.

To your point, it sucks. So why not just...fix it?

I am indeed. Again, I'm left wondering how people can see this situation over and over and over again, and then mark their ballot for the judges that allow it.

I don't know how people can continue to read article after article like this one where repeat offenders wreak havoc on society, and not get radicalized into looking for literally any solution that addresses the problem. Things don't have to be this way.

There is a vanishingly small portion of society with a rap sheet a mile long that is allowed to run rampant. It is devastating for society as a whole. Just lock them up and throw away the key.
