Damn straight.

The status quo is killing people, destroying the environment, literally profiting from illness, and is racist to the core.

Urban development is discussed ad nauseum on this site?

And they’re also notoriously corrupt examples. Even communism is perfectly fine in-and-of-itself; what isn’t fine is a power-hungry, psychopathic government that murders it’s political rivals and abuses it’s people, and that can arise regardless of the host nation’s government or economic policy.

Many of those places are communist, not socialist.

Oh boy, here comes the “Socialism is evil because ‘Merica and... uh... reasons!!!!” train.

“My congratulations” is right up there with “Apology accepted, Captain Needa.”

Creepy helicopter parenting is very much concentrated in the middle class and up in the USA. Working class families don't have time or resources to shuttle their precious hothouse flowers back and forth to a grueling schedule of activities, nor can they afford that many anyway. And thankfully, many of them would know…

You’d think but no MCU film has ever won an Oscar.  Not for effects, Costume design or anything.  The resistance of the Academy rewarding these films are staggering.  

That’s absolutely true, but they belong to an often shady “brotherhood” that frequently places generating revenue above the health and safety of the public, and maintains a culture that shields its worst members of any repercussions from their bad acts, regardless of the severity (up to and including murdering…

No one really cares what cops want to do, they care about what cops actually do.

The petrochemical industry is a cornered dying rat

... the dying oil industry.

If it’s only $5 or $10 for a POE vs non POE switch, i would say spring for the POE switch, just to future proof your network.

that’s the whole point of the waiver they used, it’s a simplified way to enter for european countries and it covered business travel. I guess immigration considered being contracted to draw art as “looking for work”, or they suspected them to plan on staying in the country illegally. Either way they were overzealous…

Really. It sounds like this is a case of ICE *mostly* doing the job it’s intended to do (the overnight lockup seems excessive, but I’m pretty sure they’re overworked locking up 4 year old Guatemalan children right now — if you want to blame the current WH for its priorities). Nonetheless, I feel like we don’t need 100…

But the way in which those rules have been enforced has changed. You wouldn’t have been kept overnight in a cell 5 years ago, plain and simple.

Had an interesting discussion with a friends dad the other day. He grew up with 4bbl carbs, caps, rotors, and an engine you could actually see on his pick up trucks. Opened the hood on his new truck and cant see a valve cover, much less anything of importance. His comment was “Back in my day you could rebuild a Ford…

I think lots of this is because cars don’t start to self destruct at 75K miles anymore. It used to be that when the car payments were done, the vehicle you just finished for started eating things. First, you’d get a thermostat or maybe a carb rebuild. Then it’d be an alternator or starter and then it’d be a failed…
