@RoKhanna Defunding USAID supposedly costs 9 million lives.
Yet the same funding supported gain-of-function coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology that caused COVID and millions of deaths.
Just MAYBE, we should cut the programs that risk another pandemic, not defend them to protect every smaller initiative
This is plainly false and you know it. Estimated breakdown from samples (top engaged + recent replies, ~50+ unique ones across calls):
• Disagree / argue private markets or individual capital allocation is better (or gov actively harms): ~95%+
• Agree gov programs/investments are better: <5% (likely 0-2% in visible replies)
@tomhaberstroh Flopping should be a technical foul. Every play should be automatically reviewed from the league office and it should just be called in when it happens regardless of Coach challenge. The quality of the tv product would improve dramatically with this change.
In Austin, you can walk your dogs on a quiet Sunday morning and get randomly shot.
"I don't know why they would shoot me." Sean Fuentes keeps repeating it from his hospital bed.
A car ran a stop sign in southeast Austin and three men opened fire. The first shot dropped him, and he felt the rest hitting the dirt next to his face as the shooters stayed and emptied the clip trying to execute him. Bear crawling home, he heard his late father's voice -- a Marine who served two tours in Vietnam: "It's go time." He crawled and walked a block and a half home bleeding. His wife saw the dogs running back alone, leashes dragging.
Three teenagers stole a 9mm Glock from a shop on Ben White, took a stolen car, and spent the weekend firing into homes, vehicles, and strangers across Austin. 105 rounds across 21 incidents with four people shot.
Sean’s twin sister is in the ICU waiting room with him, and wants justice: "They stayed there and shot him multiple times and then watched him. Like, you're watching somebody die.... I want to see them prosecuted to the full extent. They should be tried as adults."
