@CitizensSafe I'm sorry this lady's son has mental health issues, but what proof is there that THC caused this. Has it occurred to her that maybe he started suffering from mental health issues and turned to THC as a way of self medicating? Happens all the time with alcohol.
@JeffB_Media @JohnLawMedia Leopards are too badass for this analogy. You need something giant and slow moving, that loudly yells "I eat them, no you" while indiscriminately shoveling anything and everything into its mouth.
But there is no creature outside of the GOP that can survive acting like this.
@Rickard_Rowan@Mooretruth77009 @nondecimal @CowboysKen@GregAbbott_TX You can specialize in what you do best to maximize productivity because of capitalism. You don't have to directly labor to maintain a functioning society, yet can still enjoy living in one because of taxes. One doesn't work without the other.
@Mar_shuh@SusanneMBlack @nondecimal @CowboysKen@GregAbbott_TX No, this is about rich people not paying taxes. People who can afford private school don't want normal people there. There's always a way to just barely price the majority out. And the rich continue to syphon money off society while everyone else makes due with less and less.
@nondecimal @CowboysKen@GregAbbott_TX Then do it, nobody is stopping you. School taxes aren't about your kids specifically, they are about making sure we don't live in a society of morons.
But trust me, if vouchers are your "make or break" you can't afford it anyway and the elites who can don't want you there.
@TomGlover1 @GhoulMermaid I like all sorts of things others can't stand, that's fine. What I mostly see are people wanting something that lives up to their nostalgic standards. That's impossible. It's a problematic mindset that grips far too many these days. Star Wars being the least problematic subject.
@Lakesdods2223@andy_stawicki2 Well, I like your optimism. I don't know if I'd get rid of tips all together, but something like that would be nice. Would also be nice if this mentality were applied to sales tax.
@DjuricTine Obviously it will never be again, it was 1983. But the nostalgic memories my kids will one day have of settling in to watch The Mandalorian with their dad doesn't seem so bad.
My generation, on the other hand, we got Jar Jar.
@Lakesdods2223@andy_stawicki2 No one company could do that, their competition would destroy them. However, if employers were required to pay (at least) minimum wage (and gas and vehicle wear for delivery) before tips, it would be way better. Then tips are extra for a job well done. I'm totally for it.
@VABVOX Fuck Elon for the shit he does in the name of free speech, only to tell me calling Texas politicians the least of what they are, assholes, is a little rude and they will bury that comment.
@VABVOX I live in Texas, I didn't vote for these a**holes. I don't believe in God, but one that unleashes malaria onto a population in response to the actions of politicians sounds like one of them.
