-What was the Republican Plan again?

In the New York State Assembly? Not sure that matters much as the Democrats have a supermajority.

That's my only point. It's not a criticism of any of these folks. It's just that democrats have a lot of power in NY and have had it for some time.

It's not like Mamdani and other progressives just recently seized power away from the republican party.

Wealth inequality in NYC is certainly not a new thing. It goes back more than a century.

Negotiation, compromise, etc........that's how this will go.

It's not much of a plan.

They support legislation from the US Senate that adds additional taxes onto wealthy individuals in different ways but the candidates they defeated supported it as well. So it's not like taking that position mattered anyway.

32 hour work week? That's probably the most interesting part of anything in the article. Not sure how that can be implemented but like with anything...you have to start somewhere.

But this is where a liberal has to be honest with themselves. Are they truly going to fight to implement such a thing or is it just an easy lie to tell to get votes but then won't really have to lift a finger to implement?

Good read

Despite my conservative leanings at times this issue is where I'm pretty far left.

The entire system of healthcare is in total shambles.

The only people who are close to being happy are my neighbors who are MDs who own the clinic.

The question about local LEO reporting on incidents over which they have zero jurisdiction is particularly stupid.

LOL

-Tell me more about what I think.

No problem. You realize you misunderstood the questions.

There are thousands of similar points made the same way all the time here. But you didn't annoint yourself as judge of all questions and their relevance.

But you did mine. Obviously because you misunderstood them.

My guess is you won't make the same mistake again with me.

-Lumpers can't see beyond first order effects (emotions)

Repubs and dems have been haggling over these items for as long as they've been in existence

It'll never stop. Ebb and flow, budget constraints, campaigning, etc ... ..and what fuels it is the ignorance of the public.

You think they're stupid because you believe they represent a defense for the funding cuts that led to this.

It's the opposite in fact.

Am I right?

Saints, Angels, intercessory prayer, etc....shouldn't be such a stretch to accept the Catholic Church recognizes demons, haunting, paranormal existences.

DBD2, thanks for the clarification.

Despite being a cradle Catholic, I know very little about exorcisms. I doubt many Catholics do.

What are the books?

-Catholics are a parallel universe.

And your evidence is a book about exorcism?

Yeah...and the beverly thing...really burns me.

Free lunches.....I'm always buying. Same as free healthcare, on me.

do you think drug dealers support food stamps?

what about the federal income, state income, property, and sales tax I pay? what's the multiplier effect of that?
What about the $1 I pay at the store? same multiplier?

To be clear, I don't think folks who support food stamps do so because it multiplies.

It's about taking care of folks. And that's a good enough reason so I'm not asking anyone to defend the multiply argument.

If it multiplies then states should be throwing more money into it on their own.

You're not required to post if you have nada.

Speak, do you think my home equity is unearned or unjustified?

LOL, you're even crying preemptively to my yet to be hurled insults.

Keep doing exactly whet I order you to do, coward.

Go cry some more.

Coward

-I just spanked you for assigning false positions

This is similar to how I get children to eat their vegetables.

I got you to clarify your position. I can't ask you clarify it. I have to manipulate you instead.

You're too childish to be spoken directly to.

"you crow like you won something."

I get my jollies in all sorts of ways.

Watching you and that other ------- go at it is fun to watch.

I notice you lacked the courage to respond to my questions on the other thread.
