But certain people don't want to hear that line of thinking and shout it down. The government has lately been actively disincentivizing people from trying to pull themselves out of poverty-stricken victimhood, so things will keep getting worse. Ya cause people think they are entitled. Why do better if you gonna lose free health insurance and food stamps. I had a coworker quit his job cause he made to much money. Would of lost food stamps and where he lives. Would also sell his food stamps on the side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside and out of urban vs rural settings, and blurred regions that cross -over demographics, too. Not sure how anyone's drawing distinctions on violence. It seems there is another systemic "trigger" that isn't related to traditional simplistic models of over-population leading to stress factors with density. It's fun to blame it on shit, though. it's just ( numbers game + the internet fomenting the unstable fringe among them) /2 and represents a far more profound systemic pandemia than any f'n virus, and is a factor of socio-dynamic feedbacks upon a species that was not intrinsically evolved to handle the immense power said tech affords them. The ultimate result of said experiment yet to be determined. Namely, it cuts the 700 thousand years of human evolutionary co-dependency on one another in the cooperative social organization of human society. A lot of the travails are hands thus "made to be idol while playing with guns" - as a hugely simplistic metaphor. Culture of violence… this one from last week was just like WTF…. ”A Florida man took his son on paintball ‘drive by,’ police said. The boy, 10, ended up shot with a real gun. It was the 10-year-old’s idea, police later said: He’d asked his dad if he would take him on a “drive by shooting” with his paintball gun, and Williams, 26, allegedly said yes. But as the paintballs peppered the crowd, at least one of the victims thought the gunshots were real. So the man pulled out his own gun and fired a single bullet at the van — wounding the young boy. After being struck with the bullet, police said, the 10-year-old fell out of the van and was run over as the vehicle continued to move. Williams then scooped the boy back into the van and drove home, where the boy’s mother called 911, according to a police report. According to police, Williams’s son approached him over the weekend and asked if his father would take him to do a drive-by shooting with a paintball gun in Opa-locka.“ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 50% of American adults trust the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and many believe most users abuse it. The latest welfare fraud statistics, however, show that the payment accuracy of SNAP is over 92%, while the food stamp trafficking rate in the past few years has been only 1-1.5%. These figures show that the US authorities have found efficient solutions to food stamp fraud. https://balancingeverything.com/welfare-fraud-statistics/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Anyone watching this Blue Jay's meltdown with 2 outs in the 6th inning? The dude can't throw a strike. Hits two batters, 4-ball walks with bases loaded. Red Sox back in this game. I've never seen a professional pitcher have a complete meltdown like that. It is so good to see Fenway absolutely rocking. Full capacity and it is loud on TV. Would never know it wasn't prior to the pandemic. It's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've led the MLB in come-from-behind wins for quite some time. They continue that practice. This team is never out of it. Verdugo is awesome. Has had more hits, runs, home runs, batting average, slugging percentage than Mookie so far. Betts is the better all-around player, but for the controlled low-cost price tag, Verdugo is a better "deal" for the money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
