If anything I’m sure Republicans would rather we require welfare recipients to undertake a boot camp program to force them into the labor force. This seems right up the alley.

I’m all for folks dropping or opting out and making their own way, that’s what I did as a drop out a good 15 years ago. I still think there is a certain point to the anti-intellectualism association. If you’re if the mind that universities

It’s a perfectly legitimate source, the only problem is your personal political disagreements with them. Do better.

Spring of a decade plus ago was fine, it just required a day or two of upstart to configure the whole deal if you weren’t already familiar and had a good project to reference as a basis for bootstrapping. The tradeoff of today with Spring B

I’ve seen cases over the years where doctors irreparably maim a patient requiring a lifetime of expensive professional services and home care, are set a fair judgement meant to cover these costs, but then skip out due to maximums set in law

Suppressors are only Federally legal with a tax stamp, typically acquired with a “Form 1” self manufacture or a Form 4” transfer (purchase) along with a $200 tax for the stamp, per item. The seller would need special ATF licensure and follo

> opt out of providing stuff for poor people to make a political point. I would certainly hope my state isn’t giving out tax-payer funded luxury stoves. There is no such thing as “free” here.

They may both be richer than you (they’re certainly richer than I), but they’re definitely not of the same class.

That garbage piece of writing completely ignores nearly 80 years of conventional history which includes first-hand account from the very Japanese council cited in the story. Absolute joke content that doesn’t belong on a site like this.

So how do we meaningfully sort groups out? I’ve been to juvenile prison, loads of these teenagers were out and out proud of their being in. They would happily manipulate and game anything to their advantage, and as a result the guards are f

I was always under the impression that the glorification of Sparta started and ended at the battle of Thermopylae, the willingness to fight and die alongside your brothers in arms is venerated just as we Remember the Alamo. All in all, this

Easy, hire a partner-figurehead as a rubber-stamp and you’re off to the races. I’ve seen similar in Federal contracting, hire a tick-the-box preference point partner with a make-work role to get contracts.

Thankfully we know #5 is false through a cursory examination of history. After all, the US Air Force successfully provided air support to our ally’s during the Bay of Pigs leading to a free and prosperous Cuba. If we look to the Middle East

Technically correct, it was the US State Department and Congress (See: McCain, et. al.) implicated in the ouster of a legitimately elected Ukrainian president in what would most reasonably be described as a violent coup with the president b

It is more than a single year and this happened during the 1970’s and 1980’s stagflation era. Of course worse inflationary crises have happened in Western history and while they returned on a large enough time scale that really didn’t matte

Similarly, I remember the Snowbirds and Carpetbaggers excitement over the Yuengling brewery in Florida. Folks bringing cases home on trips. Something about those old times regional beers with “no taste” fascinates me as much if not more tha

In Charleston, SC we have a number of local groups that were German-American social clubs that were forced to abandon their native culture and affiliations to appease the mob. You’ll never hear anything of it, there is no care to apologize

It’s a real shame what the mountain ranges and cold weather did to the North Korean people. Perhaps they could learn from Switzerland and casually handle sketchy wealth.

San Francisco will simply become the new Detroit. It will still exist, some headquarters will still exist but the city proper will be the butt of a bad joke for a long time. Folks will live in nice suburbs and be forced to commute while the

We should all be incredibly skeptical of the claim. For the 2020-2021 years our rates in Charleston were returning to the “90s Crack Epidemic” rates. Much like other commenters in the thread, I’ve had a man threaten to “cut my mother effing

Yes. Spent 12 years in “the City,” in Charleston, SC to be exact. Watched it go from “hidden gem” to “how much more Carpetbagger can we take.” Mixed blessing there, sold our meager home for a lot more than it should have been worth and mov

Well, you see, for my side it’s Different… More seriously, are we going to have a put disclaimers on an all encyclopedic articles that “standards of conduct were much different then”? How much pretext then becomes necessary?
