No, the point of the ‘mansplaining’ statement is to prejudge all disagreement with the author’s conclusion as being malicious and in bad faith.

Silence heathen.

Personal choices are not relevant.

I’m not saying don’t keep a weapon. As far as I’m concerned ‘shall not be infringed’ means exactly that.

Just saying that broadly speaking, people are not nearly as savage in a disaster as government and media types seem to think.

Reports of rapes and murders in the Superdome are unsubstantiated.

Such stories do fit with the standard government and press narrative that most people, and especially poor people, are unruly and in need of being lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of by their government employed betters.

Human decency doesn’t broadly go out the window after a blizzard or any other localized disaster. Human decency is broadly demonstrated by these events.

Note that after every major disaster, the very first people to arrive to help are your friends and neighbors, frequently before the ‘first responders’ actually get…

Multi-room (or more particularly multi-floor) is definitely the key, and being able to use or ignore sensors depending on the time of day.

I’ve got a two story house which means either the ground floor is the right temperature, or the upstairs is the right temperature. (Older house = no true multizone without spending…

Multi-room (or more particularly multi-floor) is definitely the key, and being able to use or ignore sensors…

Politicians who refuse to ever under any circumstances allow a reduction in government funding are the ones who are playing fast and loose with numbers.

I’d love to see that gone myself.
Unfortunately, around 130m people declared they want it to stay around permanently.

Try reading it again.

There is nothing ‘essential’ about the essential air service. Its 100% pure welfare.

In case anyone is wondering, its basically a government program to keep about 170 rural airports flying ‘commercial’ flights by having two daily round trip flights to the closest airport that actually does have people wanting to fly in…

Nascar did penalize two people for fisticuffs last season.

Spencer Gallagher and John Wes Townley got into a fight right on the track during the caution for contact between the two of them.

The problem I see is the double standard that is being exhibited.
KB absolutely should have had a fine.
He skates because past…

The fact that the budget is but a small part of the Federal budget is immaterial. If its wasting money its wasting money and should be eliminated.

You didn’t fully read it what was said.

The particular program being cut (Community Development Block Grant) is not the primary source of government funds for MoW. In all probability this particular program is negligible.

It makes for good press though.

Ya’ll are being manipulated in such a way as you turn off your critical thinking skills and go direct to outrage.

Questions unasked by so called “professional journalists”

1) How much of the budget of the Community Development Block Grant program ends up at Meals on Wheels. The program is a multi-billion dollar program…

Nascar fined Spencer Gallagher and John Wes Townley for fighting last season.

As a frequenter of National Parks I’ve found you need to get creative to get people to comply with basic common sense rules.

For example, when I was last in Rocky Mountain I saw a mother encouraging her kids to give the squirrels nuts from their hands.

From past experience, telling people “Hey you shouldn’t do that”…

Paying low does not guarantee low quality.
It can just as easily mean high quality of only those things that governments ought to be doing and not paying for the things it shouldn’t.

The thing about comments like this is they assume that paying more in tax means you will get an abundance of ‘services’ and that they will be high quality.

As far as I know, Mt Rushmore is unique in this aspect.

The current parking lot was not built, nor is it maintained by the government.
That’s what the fee is for. The fee amount is set by NPS and/or Congress.

Honestly, it didn’t seem to be too outrageously different than many other races at Daytona or Talladega. Six cautions caused by on track incidents for 30 laps. Add in the two stage cautions and you get eight total cautions for 40 laps.
The 10 Daytona 500s prior to this one had an average of 8.2 cautions for an average…
