Honestly, communism can’t get here fast enough, we need to take everything these people have.

Quite the contrary. I think this article is talking about THE ONLY issues Americans talk about - because the sexy stuff is all the American media talks about. They’re more interested in reporting the “horse race” (“Is the outcome of this local election “good news” for party X?!?!”) than they are interested in…

The things you mention are both “hot button issues.” And the nature of “hot button issues” is that they are innately things that get people really worked up, but probably don’t directly affect them whatsoever. Both sides callously throw them around to agitate their bases and inspire them to get out and vote, because…

This is the biggest point lost in all these discussions of Uber/Lyft/whatthehellever: there was an established industry already in place, with a 100+ year history, so shitty, that people will choose a service employing rapists, thieves, and murderers.

Ohh hey, you wouldn’t happen to live in not-NYC would you?

It’s not even the cleanliness so much as the perpetually “broken” credit card machines, arguments over routes, and getting yelled at/menaced for having the audacity to not pay in cash.

I don’t even care about what a shitty company Uber is or Lyft, or whatever else is out there. When I’m drunk off my ass and I just want a ride home I’d rather go home in a 2 year old Honda Accord that’s clean than an ancient yellow Crown Vic that has 12 years worth of bodily fluids in the backseat.

Honestly, this just reminds me how bad the taxi experience is in my city in that I would still use all of these evil companies rather than be use a taxi.

It’s interesting that people think companies factoring in legal penalties and contract breeches As part of the cost of doing busienss is somehow a recent invention of internet start ups.

Great post.

“What I don’t understand is why the public needs access to military-grade weapons, or why it’s so difficult to ban people with mental-health problems or criminal records from purchasing rifles and pistols.”

blazing saddles? huh?

Well, for starters, while I’m not a right wing troll, I do think it’s worth pointing out that Fusion/Gizmodo/Gawker’s reporting on the details of incidents like this, especially when said details don’t fit the narrative we all tend to lean towards at first reaction is, bluntly, fucking awful. If you want to know…

However, your clickbait youtube video and unrelated article don’t seem to provide any illumination on the situation.

Doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to progress from “angry enough to hit someone with a baseball bat” to “terrified of going to jail for murder and drunkenly attempts to cover-up crime by disposing of body”

Is this how you have sex? By discussing all the places that can be touched prior to engaging in any touching? Can I kiss you? Can I touch your neck while kissing you? Can I kiss your neck? Can I bite it just a little but then kiss it again? Can I touch your arm as I move my arm to get more comfortable? Oops, my leg…

Just because they encountered each other again doesn’t necessarily mean he followed them. Putting the pieces together, my best guess at the timeline is roughly:

You aren’t describing road rage, you’re describing road mildly annoyed.

You fucking putinbot. Sorry I had to do it before anyone else did.
