    ...yet, after the post Floyd and lockdown spikes, absolutely none of the data supports that.

    You're wrong.

    Crime and most specifically property crime absolutely exploded in west coast cities. Some are now posting "great" YOY numbers, but only in relation to absurdity. Specifically SF has made a number of efforts and changes that has much improvement. Portland is still a mess, and quite the ghost town these days. Seattle was doing better but just elected a mayor who is doubling down on social justice criminal reform and will stop sweeping homeless and enforcing public drug use.

    Here are a couple of stat links.

    Quite literally all of them. And if San Diego is considered major, I also live in one.

    Is your position that San Diego, LA, SF, Portland and Seattle haven't had a safety issue the last 5 years? I've been to all 5 multiple times each year and sure there is a ebb and flow but its absurd to claim the downtown areas of each of those cities is on par with PreCovid

    While going to junior college I worked at a McDonald's for a while. A coworker was putting a pie into the basket to be fried when he dropped the pie into the vat. Letting the pie sink to the bottom would have fouled all of the oil in the vat, and since he had the basket in his left hand, someone said, "Get it out!" He proceeded to put his right hand into the vat to grab it. He only got his fingers in before yanking his hand back, but not before getting a second degree burn on all five fingers. He was something of a jerk, so it was entertainingly horrifying. Unsurprisingly, he later completed his higher education with a bachelors from aggy.

    I always think about this scene when something like that comes up. I once saw a guy partially crushed by a gigantic steel vat of corn syrup because his instinct was to try to stop it from tipping over when a forklift operator bumped it. Was something like the leg crush scene in the Wire, but got most of his leg. There was concave points in the supports that made it survivable. I just heard and saw the immediate problem. Wasn't directly involved in rescue, I was across the yard.

    Is there an Intel Nationalization thread beyond the Trump is Debil threads?

    In summary I am not in favor of the government directly intervening financially in the market. However, there is certainly a place for national security interests and economy to be protected by supporting(short term with direct payback) strategic/critical industries.

  6. Mamadani- We will seize the means of production

    Media- What?

    Mamdani- I didn't really mean that

    Credulous Gen Alphas- OK. seems legit

    Mamdani- we will enact the warm embrace of collectivism

    Surly Leftist- He just joshin

    What's really funny about you is no matter what this administration does, you're here to defend it

    post the receipts or shut the fuck up.

    you can't and you won't

  8. Kelly, and the others, are way out of line

    9:40-10:30 sums it up

    Kelly- its simple, if a reasonable person thinks its illegal than they ARE OBLIGATED not to follow orders.

    Stewart- is blowing up drug boats illegal?

    Kelly- its complicated

    My point is that you are being a hysterical doofus.

    are you new here?

    Care to address my other specific point about government housing ALWAYS devolving into uninhabitable slums the many, many, many times its been tried here?

    Group insurance through my employer.

    I think it would be useful perspective for everyone in the discussion if people would disclose the type of employer they are getting healthcare through. The baseline assumption would be that only a large employer(I'm not sure what the line of delination is there) can get such pricing.

    Of course only if the poster can do so without fear of doxxing themselves.

  11. There is nothing quite a pathetic as the mentally fragile leftists of this board who REPEATEDLY insist they are ignoring someone and then chime in with the Statler & Waldorf comments.

    Again, I don’t believe this approach delivers broad based affordability in cities

    So then what's your point?

    Your interpretation of their plans is that they are technically legal and applicable to grazing in Western States? Well that's just incredibly impressive and reassuring. Gen Alpha is going to love grazing on scrub brush.

    If we manage to decouple insurance from employment, what are the odds that the employers move all of the cost savings to employee pay?

    You might do it with your company of 100, but how many would work the numbers and deliver that money to employees to pay for their own health care rather than keep some or all of it?

    You think Medicare for all will be funded without additional taxes on employers?

    Maybe its a net reduction in costs to employers, but it sure as fuck isn't a complete removal of the cost.
