They remember what happened, they elected Biden and their material conditions worsened so they re-elected the guy that could at least be bullied into cutting them a rebate check.
I’m not saying I agree with their assessment but I can understand it.
My spouse and I both did.
I was a pack per day smoker for 15-20 years. Switched to vaping as it was becoming so popular. Stepped down the nicotine over the course of a few years until I finally just got tired of going and buying 1mg juice and stopped. Haven’t had a vape in about 2 years and a cigarette in about about 5.
I still get a craving now and then but it passes. Cigarettes usually just smell like a disgusting ashtray and I’m glad I don’t smoke anymore.
edit: we both actively wanted to quit and I’m so happy it worked for us
I’m not sure what you think that statement means.
What was their guess? Their statement was a non-answer at best.
Dude you’re thinking way too deeply into, it really is as simple as “that’s just how cops and lawyers talk, nobody is going to give away anything.”
On top of that we have pretty serious restrictions called HIPAA on releasing private healthcare information and no insurance provider in the world is just going to go ahead and confirm plans details or lack of one if they don’t have to.
There is no war but the class war comrade.
We have more in common with an entitled boomer or homeless man than we do with Elmo or Zuck (or McConnell or Pelosi) or any of the other elite. Everything else is a distraction to class consciousness, don’t fall into the same trap lead-brained and propagandized victims of childhood abuse do. They are not the enemies.
There is no war but the class war, full stop.
The boomer I see sleeping on the sidewalk every morning is more a victim of capitalist fuckery than I’ll ever be. There’s no war but the class war, everything else is secondary.
Friendly fire, isn’t.
I’m a 200lb ape capable of using rudimentary tools and would run away from an angry cat, fuck that.
His actions made no impact, so far.
This is incorrect, we’re all talking about it so it’s brought the conversation to the forefront if nothing else.
Are you expecting the more than half of Americans who voted for Trump
More than half of Americans didn’t vote for trump, roughly 1/3 did.
Republicans to suddenly change their political identity.
Republican don’t have a political identity to speak of except “No!” see also: Their current inability to even pass a budget they wrote.
you’re not supporting his cause if you send money to his commissary, you’re supporting the private prison system.
He’s being held at the Metro Detention Center in Brooklyn, it’s not a private prison.
You’re so bad at this you have to be a troll, and not even a good one, sad.
Maybe we could source the blue-shelling of CEOs and when good people inevitably end up in the clink they could be welcomed as oppressed comrades and freedom fighters.
An argument could be made that his actions are drawing attention to the Healthcare crisis and are worth millions in donations to any single facility.
We all have opinions.
I have first-hand knowledge of the workings of my local metro PD is the only reason I referenced them but you make a valid point that they don’t all like each other. In my local PD at least (and I imagine a lot of others) it’s hyper political. People try very hard to attach themselves to up-and-coming command officers to try to become a sort of right hand or assistant (while still being badge carrying LEO) to them.
It’s extremely hierarchical, it’s not uncommon for peoples parents and grandparents to have been cops and institutions like that definitely have a memory. People spend decades finding their little niches and if you step on the wrong toes you may get screwed over before you understand what’s happening, it’s an extremely toxic place filled with assholes and psychopaths lol.
Also a lot of places police work pays a really nice wage with opportunities for nearly unlimited overtime.
My local metro PD has what’s called “secondary work” where various (large) venues will hire off-duty officers to essentially stand around and be present. Those jobs regularly pay $50/hr and you get to see events for free. These guys rack up insane amounts of “secondary work.” It’s a total racket, a few years ago there was as scandal with a guy working secondary work *while on duty," it’s wildly open to abuse and the police hierarchy protects everyone at every step.
Vultures, someone (parasite or not) died in the street and their concern isn’t a lost life or even the motivations of the alleged killer but how can they get their photo op.
Replacement seats with built-in bidets are becoming more and more common, they just attach to the water line on the back of tank, they’re very convenient.
If you just give everyone unlimited bread sticks most people never even make it to the entree, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
It’s one of the main reasons our owner class has sought to mock the French with “surrender” slurs and “freedom fries.”
They’d very much like the citizenry to forget Frances contribution to America and “western culture” over the last 200 years lest they get any ideas.
I’m only a few years younger and have pretty much always had shitty/non-existent insurance until the last decade.
Without revealing too much about myself, my employer just switched their provider to UHC this year so you can imagine I’m watching all this intently.
I don’t really disagree with what you’re saying but it’s important not to dismiss peoples experience at the grocery store and when it’s time to pay their bills as “how they feel about the economy.”
The NASDAQ doesn’t put gas in a car or milk in a fridge, that shit is still expensive.
