Talk about the kiss of death

If I read it right the guy was in the act of strangling her brother when she shot him? I doubt the jury convicts. I know I wouldn't. Sounds like that guy got what he deserved after raping a woman and trying to strangle her brother.

I don't care how cheap it is. I don't want to live in Pakistan.

I see things going the other way. People that need opioids aren't getting them. Tylenol and aleve just don't cut it some of the time.

I usually don't recommend wal-mart for much of anything but they sell non prescription insulin for about 25 bucks a bottle. It's basically a dinosaur compared to the new insulin but it does work in a pinch. Better than letting your blood sugar go up to 600 and stroking out.

I have co-workers in Richmond. None of them felt they had to be in fear. I think this woman is just overly sensitive.

I can't believe the hatred that has blinded you all. A bad guy got what he deserved.

Agreed, Whoever is in office should be praised for giving the green light to killing scum.

Great Madbomber, Do what Tao says. Print up cards and hand them out and set your own rates. Be an independent cabbie. I still think Uber's business practices need to go away. If we keep down this path more and more workers will get shafted with the Independent contractor label which will only enrich businesses and screw workers.

Madbomber most people do understand how Uber works. The thing for me is that I realize it will suck for rideshare drivers but benefit many others. The people who do Uber can move on to other things. Allowing more jobs to take on the title of independent contractor sets a dangerous precedent. It should be only allowed for a very small set of circumstances.

That sounds awful. I would just probably shower at a place like planet fitness everyday to get around it.

Most people straddle the middle and have some liberal and some conservative opinions. I wouldn't want to secede ever. We are a diverse nations that would come together quickly if we were ever attacked again.

If the people of Iran or any of their proxies tries anything they will get a President who won't handcuff the US military from using their full potential to squash them. The world will know peace once we crush all of our enemies.

Are you going to enlist Byrdman?

Your pay may go down to about 20.00 bucks an hour but you would probably get benefits like overtime pay and all the other perks that go with it like health insurance and pto. Why not embrace it and unionize?

Trump's faithful will never go to war but they will gladly sacrifice other American's Lives for Trump

Not true at at all. Many like myself can say we served. Sadly there is still a lot of people living that need to be killed. Trump realizes it and is willing to make the right calls.

Almost every Uber driver would rather quit than become an employee.

So be it. They will hire new workers that want employee protections.

Compared to the vast majority of workers that could be screwed over by the "gig economy" yes. I don't feel bad if you take a set shift at Uber while somebody else gets workmans comp and benefits. Anything American can do to kill the gig economy is a good thing if you ask me.

You want to keep doing it as an independent contractor. Independent contractor status should not exist for most jobs. I have seen way too many people misclassified as such so employers could absolve themselves of all liability. I feel society would be better off if employees like you were classified as part time workers.

I just don't think some of y'all understand. Not knocking anyone, I just don't think you understand.

I do understand and I openly state I would rather benefit the many while penalizing a few. I am sorry if you get stuck in some 9-5 you don't like so others can get benefits. Your desire for flexibility causes misfortune for others.

Let Uber and Lyft die and go back to the old system of cabs and busses. I never trusted Uber anyways. Do they do background checks on drivers to make sure you aren't getting the car with a serial killer? The gig economy needs to die. The people wanting to freelance are hurting too many wage workers.

Here we go!

Some of you don't understand that most of these countries would kill us as fast as they can. We need to go over there and physically and mentally break them by any means necessary. Once Bush started the win hearts and minds speech I knew we were in for a lost cause. We need them not to respect us but fear us so much they tremble at the sound of our name.

I hate the taste of regular coke. I like the taste of diet coke. Only reason I ever order it. Otherwise I drink tea.

I hate that we need to keep deploying troops but it seems many people in this region need to be taught a lesson. We need to take the handcuffs off and really go after these people. So many in the Middle East need to learn respect American superiority.

Companies that can only exist by exploiting workers probably shouldn't be around.
