Right with ya, until…
if it were harder for the general public to get guns
Is there anywhere harder to get a gun? Even pellet guns are illegal in NYC. You can be legal in one state, passing through to another state where you’re legal, and NY can take your ass to jail for a gun in the trunk.
So. More laws might help?
Did you not watch? I saw every second and it was disastrous for Biden.
I’d question what’s “unsafe”, but this was bipartisan and unanimous. Hopefully the governor gets overruled by the legislature.
He’s saying the call to close a beach should be local, not at the state level. Of course the locals will never close a beach. Anyone seen Jaws?
OTOH, I’m not aware of anywhere here in NW Florida that suffers pollution. Red tide maybe should call for a shutdown, and I believe it occasionally does.
And I have to agree. Anyone choking our economic lifeline isn’t getting back in office to do it again. Seems an easy call when you’re not fucking with 10’s of thousands of livelihoods.
No idea what the answer is, but a higher authority (the state) should make the call.
Worked tech support for an ISP. The tech side was well managed and smart. (Left when that changed.)
The customer service side fielded TV and account related calls. They were driven by average calls times. What a cluster. Guess who straight hung up on customers when the call went too long? Some people would call be 4-5 times.
Meanwhile, we could take all the time it took to resolve. A 1-hour call is way cheaper than rolling a truck. Yet some assholes would roll trucks for nothing, then bitch there were no trucks left.
This is a whole paradigm shift, and it’s not new.
Got me confused. Are you saying these tactics are new or not? I vote for new, mostly, kinda, but both at once. Sorta.
You’re thinking of the Deep South. Baptists aren’t a big thing in OK, in fact I always thought they were viewed as slightly weird.
It’s a joke about a guy landing a Cessna in Red Square.
Western Left: Terrified of guns, won’t touch one, thinks we can vote our way out.
Me: Ready for when Red Shirts come.
“NO! It won’t work like that!!”
Women, LGBT and minorities are the largest gun buying demographic:
“NO! Not like that!!”
The Ukrainians got a clue. Do you?
No lie. I asked a financial advisor when I was in my late 20s, almost 30-years ago.
“You’re getting your Social Security or there will be riots in the streets. Plan accordingly.”
In 1989 we high school seniors said we wouldn’t get Social Security. We will, no matter what.
Fighting is exactly why they die. There’s about no one that is strong enough to swim back.
I live up here. Water’s as flat as it gets once past the tiny breakers. I’m certain these are cases of people panicking and trying to swim back to shore.
No idea how to educate visitors. LOL, I’m sure municipalities don’t want giant billboards with a death tally, but that would get attention.
Such as falling whales?
I’m using a wall-mounted TV as a 2nd monitor.
I am streaming to my TV. 50" TV on my desktop for a daily driver, 55" (wired) on the wall for media.
Windows PC. I’m wired from my 50" TV monitor to a 55" on the wall.
We are agreed! I stick to liberal or unbiased gun content, and that’s not hard to do. But I’m well aware of all the macho, kill 'em all, Punisher logo type bullshit out there.
Maybe that’s partly what I’m getting at? Just seems like guns were a tool when I was a kid. Nothing to puff one’s chest about.
As to mass media, yeah, shit really seems to have gone off the rails after Columbine. Maybe that’s my age and life experience talking, but I don’t remember much of anything before that.
Sure, there was Charles Whitman unloading from the Austin clock tower, but that was news precisely because it was so unheard of.
Got some backing on that? What I really meant to address was mass shootings, but I’d look at evidence either way.
Sounds like they didn’t fulfill a legal contract. And everybody blaming everything except the people who signed on the dotted line.
