Friendly fire, isn’t.

I’m a 200lb ape capable of using rudimentary tools and would run away from an angry cat, fuck that.

His actions made no impact, so far.

This is incorrect, we’re all talking about it so it’s brought the conversation to the forefront if nothing else.

Are you expecting the more than half of Americans who voted for Trump

More than half of Americans didn’t vote for trump, roughly 1/3 did.

Republicans to suddenly change their political identity.

Republican don’t have a political identity to speak of except “No!” see also: Their current inability to even pass a budget they wrote.

you’re not supporting his cause if you send money to his commissary, you’re supporting the private prison system.

He’s being held at the Metro Detention Center in Brooklyn, it’s not a private prison.

You’re so bad at this you have to be a troll, and not even a good one, sad.

Maybe we could source the blue-shelling of CEOs and when good people inevitably end up in the clink they could be welcomed as oppressed comrades and freedom fighters.

An argument could be made that his actions are drawing attention to the Healthcare crisis and are worth millions in donations to any single facility.

We all have opinions.

I have first-hand knowledge of the workings of my local metro PD is the only reason I referenced them but you make a valid point that they don’t all like each other. In my local PD at least (and I imagine a lot of others) it’s hyper political. People try very hard to attach themselves to up-and-coming command officers to try to become a sort of right hand or assistant (while still being badge carrying LEO) to them.

It’s extremely hierarchical, it’s not uncommon for peoples parents and grandparents to have been cops and institutions like that definitely have a memory. People spend decades finding their little niches and if you step on the wrong toes you may get screwed over before you understand what’s happening, it’s an extremely toxic place filled with assholes and psychopaths lol.

Also a lot of places police work pays a really nice wage with opportunities for nearly unlimited overtime.

My local metro PD has what’s called “secondary work” where various (large) venues will hire off-duty officers to essentially stand around and be present. Those jobs regularly pay $50/hr and you get to see events for free. These guys rack up insane amounts of “secondary work.” It’s a total racket, a few years ago there was as scandal with a guy working secondary work *while on duty," it’s wildly open to abuse and the police hierarchy protects everyone at every step.

Vultures, someone (parasite or not) died in the street and their concern isn’t a lost life or even the motivations of the alleged killer but how can they get their photo op.

Replacement seats with built-in bidets are becoming more and more common, they just attach to the water line on the back of tank, they’re very convenient.

If you just give everyone unlimited bread sticks most people never even make it to the entree, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

It’s one of the main reasons our owner class has sought to mock the French with “surrender” slurs and “freedom fries.”

They’d very much like the citizenry to forget Frances contribution to America and “western culture” over the last 200 years lest they get any ideas.

I’m only a few years younger and have pretty much always had shitty/non-existent insurance until the last decade.

Without revealing too much about myself, my employer just switched their provider to UHC this year so you can imagine I’m watching all this intently.

Without getting into the weeds too much I’d be willing to bet that when the accused rapist is rich there’s a huge chance they’ll be given the benefit of the doubt. While if it’s a poor person they’re far more likely to be caught up in whatever charges the system can present in the interest of snaring another person in the Prison Industrial Complex.

There really is no war but the class war.

And they did, I was threatened multiple times at a Sprint call center and reported it.

We all did, cops never even take a report, weird that the health insurance people get special treatment.

While I’ve had a positive experience

Let me guess, still on parents insurance or never had insurance through an employer?

It was mostly a joke but I don’t disagree with your assessment.

He’s a programmer, they’re not really known for their awareness outside of pretty specific problem solving.

Was just talking to my partner about this last night. We both got to experience the internet before social media and corpos fucked everything up.

Louder for the people in the back:

THERE IS NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR.

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO CRANK THE HOG TO BROTHER, ARROOOOOOO!
