@ClownWorld Per the community notes, I know this video is a joke, but I wouldn't doubt that there are people out there who actually think like this privately. And then if something happens and one of their kids drowns in the pool, do you think they are not going to sue?
@Supersonic_Red I experienced all those things as Gen X.
I have always thought those born in the early 60's should've been lumped in with Gen X rather than the Boomers. 1964 seems like really late to be a Boomer.
Kindergarten you say? OK, here it goes.
There was a group of kids who were always getting bullied by other kids. They were always being called names, like racist, sexist, homophobe, etc. The kids getting bullied always thought, "We should not sink to their level. We're better than that." The bullying continued.
Then along came a big kid named Donald. He decided he'd stand up for the kids being bullied, so he started throwing insults back at the bullies. The bullies didn't like this because only they get to call names. What made it funny was that Donald was better at calling names than the bullies were, and this made them really mad.
The bullies responded by tattling on Donald and the other kids to the teachers, but this was unfair because everything the bullies were telling the teachers was a lie, but the teachers, many of whom really liked the bullies and were on their side, acted on the false accusations and tried to put Donald and the kids who supported him in detention. But even then, Donald always found a way to stay out of detention and also to keep the other kids out of detention too.
Now some of the other kids didn't like the way Donald was turning the tables on the bullies and went over to the bullies' side. Other kids were grateful that Donald was standing up for them, but they secretly wished the name-calling would stop. The name calling continued because even though the bullies were being embarrassed and humiliated by Donald, their attempt to retaliate just made them look like fools, because they were fools.
The lesson - people should not be punished because other people say they did things they did not do.
No one is punishing New Orleans. New Orleans has been getting special treatment for decades, and now they're just going to be treated like every other city in Louisiana.
And stop calling New Orleans a "black city" to make it look like it's being unfairly targeted because of race. Black people have a slim majority at 55%, but I wouldn't call a city where almost half the population is non-black a "black city."
"You should vote for James Talarico because he has a hot girlfriend," is possibly the dumbest thing I have seen on the Internet today. But it's still early.
You guys are so dishonest. The district you are talking about was ruled illegal by the Supreme Court because it was gerrymandered exclusively based on race. And it was only done that way 2 years ago. For the past decade plus, Louisiana has had one "black district," which IMO was also racially gerrymandered and should probably be redrawn too, and that's what they went back to.
You guys are acting like Louisiana had this majority black district since the Louisiana Purchase and it's just now been eliminated. Reality? The district has been drawn like that for only 2 years.
@CascadiaEric@mcuban I'm not talking about money the insurance companies make. I'm talking about the $10,000+ bills we get for medical procedures and emergency room visits.
