wintermute_oregon,

He’s pretty solid. I may not agree with him on everything but I’ve grown to respect him. Most people who have quit after a stroke. He kept going and seemed do have recovered well.

wintermute_oregon,

In all honesty, your options were Oz or Fetterman.

I am a Republican and I would have voted for Fetterman over Oz.

wintermute_oregon,

Pardoning him was the right thing to do. The protestors were illegally on the road, he didn’t harm anyone, they swarmed his car, someone shot a gun, and Perry thought he was being attacked.

wintermute_oregon,

Most of the other members are from outside of Portland, including the police auditor for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, a retired deputy police chief from New Mexico, the senior adviser to the Los Angeles mayor on homelessness, the UCLA police chief and a forensic data specialist.

I am not sure how I feel about this one. Part of me says it should be locally monitored but then again, sometimes outside people are less biased.

BART is an interesting agency. I worked with them often in the past and they seemed like a professional group.

wintermute_oregon,

Iraq was working on one as well though many years later

wintermute_oregon,

Both have the same issue of excessive barrel wear. Main difference is rail guns use no explosives at all. It’s all kinetic energy. It’s insane how much of a punch they pack. My limited understanding is that’s why we have not put any in service. The go through barrels too quickly

wintermute_oregon,

They also lost federal funds unrelated to their BLM support. Looks like death by a thousand paper cuts.

wintermute_oregon,

Oskar Schindler was a good man. He was a Nazi.

The thing is, people are not good or bad. We are all nuanced. There are several Nazis honored by the Jews.

If a Jew can honor a nazi, then maybe you should see the world for what it is. Complicated.

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

wintermute_oregon,

Since labor is a cost. You just defeated your argument.

If labor goes up, prices will go up. It’s that simple. Fast food is only profitable at high volumes. Their profit margin is only around 10% which is low.

wintermute_oregon,

This is why I posted it. Legally they have the right to remove teachers who conflict with religious teachings. Yet this seems to go against th popes stance and he is the authority of the church.

wintermute_oregon,

What are they verifying the signature against? If I’m mailing in a ballot, what would they use to compare the signature?

I have several signatures I use for different purposes.

wintermute_oregon,

This is a tough one for me. To me what’s important is when they were named. In the 1960’s it was common to name things after confederate generals due to the civil rights movement. The democrats wanted to name everything after confederates.

Things or statues from the late 1800 to early 1900 I have less of an issue with. Those were to honor the past and supported by all.

The intent is what’s important to me.

As a veteran of the Army, I disliked that many of bases were named after shitty generals.

wintermute_oregon, (edited )

That’s just people protesting the recent changes. I suspect these were names in the 1960’s. That’s the common theme. As such I have no issue with them being renamed.

That said I don’t live there and people have a right to govern themselves. I think this is just an anti “woke” thing but unless the school was honoring the confederate, which they rarely are, they shouldn’t have been named in the first place.

wintermute_oregon,

At least one founding father thought a little rebellion was a good thing. I’m not a fan of the confederacy. It was democrats doing what democrats do but if you can’t leave the union, then we are not a democracy as tha left claims.

wintermute_oregon,

They weren’t fighting their own country. Do you understand what secession is? The democrats left the Union and started a new country. Do you think California wanting to leave makes the state a traitor ?

wintermute_oregon,

Historically that was true. Climate change has changed that.
