Why would you go on a destructive violent rampage and not expect some sort of pushback at some point?

I never said they were in the right, either.

Looting and vandalism doesn't help anyone.

All I am saying is that he shouldn't have been there, either. He should either join the military or attend the police academy if he wants to be armed and on patrol.

If you live in an area with a high homeless population it'll last about 8 minutes before it's stolen and stripped for copper.

Yeah that is exactly what would happen. I get my mail delivered to a UPS store to avoid porch pirates. I live in a decent neighborhood but a couple of miles closer to downtown looks like a 3rd world country.

Dumb kid. Why on earth would you drive to a riot with a rifle unless you were looking to kill people? If you lived in Kenosha and people were trying to invade your home that is one thing, but that isn't what happened. Seemed like he wanted to escalate the situation. Lots of broke 20 year olds so I don't feel bad for him. Get your GED, get a job and grind life out like everyone else.

I'm thinking regular Hybrid is the better option. I don't want to run an extension cord out the window down to the street. It seems like this just really a ploy to get everyone into public transportation. Which might be ok if you live in a major city. The city I live in has buses, but they don't go to my job, and they aren't frequent enough. Especially if I get called in at 2 AM for an emergency. Incentivize a manufacturer like Honda or Toyota to sell a Hybrid the size of a Chevette that gets 60 mpg or more and price it for under 20K and you will see the demand for oil to drop like a rock.

The Govt should be pushing Hybrids. That technology works and there would be less pushback. It might be all we really need. If not, it would be an easier transition to all electric. There needs to be way more charging stations where I live for this to go mainstream. Lastly, if they want for this to go really mainstream, the govt needs to step up with some major grants for the poor to afford these vehicles. Find a way to make them the same price as a basic used vehicle.

It's common to sign something that says if you quit after training, you have to pay the company back for it. Usually it's a 1 or 2 year thing. I never minded signing the agreements because I knew I wouldn't be leaving anytime soon afterward.

Whatever happened to a good old-fashioned fist fight? I'm sure the argument was over something stupid. If you know you have a bad temper then don't carry a firearm.

If Trump goes down another will take his place. Yes Trump is the current spokesman for Authoritarian leadership, but he can be replaced. The right likes the Idea of having a strong dictator to run the country like Putin. So long as he actively enforces discrimination of people not like you. Gilead is the future they want.

This is the result of 30+ yrs of rightwing talk/hate radio/tv.
Murdoch will die with satisfaction.

That does play a big part in it. They have been led to believe that minorities are the reason they can't get a good job with only a high school diploma. If only we could stop illegal immigration all the good manufacturing jobs would return to America. Giving equal rights to everyone somehow hurts them. Tax cuts for the rich will somehow benefit them even though it never has. Probably since the 2004 Election I have advocated for splitting up the country. It's not going to get any better. The right clearly wants different things than people on the left do. How can you even have a discussion with somebody that thinks abortion isn't valid in cases of rape or the mother's life is in danger? People that support Trump might as well be on a different planet than you. The Boomers here still think they are dealing with Reagan Republicans. You aren't. The right is full of raving Q crazies.

I'm already convinced the Left is Effed this next election. Biden should have stepped aside to put a better candidate forth. He doesn't inspire the youth or minorities to turnout for him. The county I live in went 60/40 Trump last election. My hunch is that it is going to go bigger this time. Maybe a miracle happens, but it doesn't look good for Biden at all.

This girl is on to something. Working hard sucks. I left my house at 5:30 AM and didn't get home until 7 PM. Always seems like I'm killing myself to make someone else rich. Better to realize that work life balance is more important than trying to impress your boss because they don't give a crap.
