Damn right, and neither does anyone else’s for that matter.
K cup guy regrets the waste his product is responsible for.
You’re under the impression that they were my friends first, which aside from one, who was s cop in another city, I was not. Ony after opening a place of business and being vandalized and had things stolen did I get to know some. The ones I did become more familiar with are definitely the kinds of police you want. They use discretion first, try hard to de escalate a situation, and the last thing they want to do is make a bad situation worse for anyone. And per your questions about how they would treat people, the ones I know would help before punish, as per your examples, they’d buy someone a meal or defuse a tough situation.
The way you describe them all as soldiers working against everyone is a tough statement to take simply because when you don’t need them, ACAB, but when you do need them, they can’t get there soon enough. Sadly, the bad cops everyone sees is all we’ll be left with once all the good ones leave because of that sentiment. Then you’ll see the “soldiers” you’re talking about.
The good ones I was talking about, the ones I know, half have retired early, because no matter how much good they try to do, reasonable they try to be the only rhe thing people see is an enemy. I don’t look forward to the day when all we are left with is the bad ones, and it’s coming sadly.
My only issue with that is taking from regular people to fund it. Tax solely corporations, many of them view increased profits at any cost as the only objective, which means they have more to spare. If you take it from the people who take all the risk by investing their own money, I don’t see that as fair. If I work hard to make a living, invest what I can to improve my life and future that shouldn’t be touched by any tax. Where I’m from, we have capital gains tax of something assured, like 55%+. I don’t see how that is fair. If I go bust, I don’t get a hand out or do over, but if I succeed, I have to fork over more than half…
The fact that you have to ask means you’d judge people on skin color. I’m sorry if that sounds harsh because if the answer is yes, they’re white, you’d attribute it to that but not bother looking any further. They are mostly white, but my friends wife isn’t. I know my fair share of people who have had extremely bad interactions, too, and they are white. My brother was pulled out of his car at gun point for making an illegal turn. Do dwb happen sadly, yes, but those are not as frequent as you’d like to believe.
What I find funny is that some days I’ll be adamant about how bad UBI would be because of the cost, and the next, I’d be the loudest voice next to yours for its good. I feel it would be super easy to implement. Basically, you’d tax every company for every self checkout machine as if each machine is a person and the salary that would be paid to the person is instead of a machine would be used to fund it. I k ow its poorly worded, but I hope people have enough sense to understand what I mean.
I know a few people who are police, one being a very close friend who is now retired from being a cop. Not a single one of them is a bad person or cop. The stories I hear from them make me wonder why they would do it, and the universal answer is usually to help people. The best part is that of the six or so people I know counting my friends, they are all quitting because people treat them so badly juat for doing thier job, and they will be replaced with cops who show no compassion. I myself have many stories of cops being understanding and caring and, in turn, being very lenient. When I talk to people with the acab mentality, the police never go easy. It’s odd how just treat people how you want to be treated works.
Or because of the drugs he was doing when making his music.
You might be right, but I think it’s this way because most people don’t have any real idea how either system “works.” Haha, that’s an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one. One system is set up to be dependent on good income for good insurance or good employer with benefits but has massive government wastage, which could easily fund a better medical system for lower income people. The other depends on taxes for the funding but has the same government wastage problems and massive incompetency in getting good people into the medical field.(ex: limiting number of doctors or nurses that can graduate)
It would be, but I pay through my nose in taxes for that system to be extra shitty. I’m not gonna sit here and say the US is better or worse because it’s subjective. If you make good money to pay for good insurance or have a good job and / or employer who gives good benefits, it is undoubtedly better, low wait times good service. But if you’re in the opposite group, which usually needs a good system more so than the better off people because of obvious dietary and time advantages they have to take better care of their health, than it’s a disaster of system, die in waiting rooms like we do. That’s all to say that we can pay for private insurance which compares to the prices in the states and pay a lot via taxes, which I can’t because I can’t afford both or “live” cough cough with a system that is just terrible. But to be clear, by no means is this a pissing contest, I feel your pain.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you get treatment soon. Isn’t it amazing how the world thinks our medical system is so great? There have been multiple deaths at the hospital near me of people waiting to see a doctor in emergency… not to mention people I know who would still be here today if the doctors in that same hospital were halfway competent, but since they can’t be sued for malpractice, nothing happens…
By no means am I on board with this. But what I think what was meant was that it was blackened in 1816, by what I think he was inferring was a nuclear blast, resulting in a nuclear winter or a year without a summer.
Guessing you don’t drive, and if you do, it’s not much. A half decent driver can feel the pull even with as little as 15psi. You’re the kind of person who puts us all in danger on the road. Please turn in your driver license before you kill someone.
Well, if you know how tires work, all you do is put air back in, when they’re slashed you’re responsible for, on a car like that, 300$ a tire. Removing the valve is an inconvenience, but slashing is money and time.
I’ve posted this before. What’re you’re talking about doing is destruction of property. It’s a crime. Just go to your local auto parts store, buy yourself a tire valve remover, and just keep it in your car. You can just unscre the valve and flatten the tire, and if you’re feeling nice, replace it or just leave it on the ground.
That is my spirit animal…
Yes, but if the skeleton is capable of fighting me, who’s to say what kind of magic or superpowers it has? I mean, a fighting skeleton still seems like it could be anyone’s guess as to who’s going to win…
It’s a brutally competitive and toxic game.
