“but using gasoline taxes an essential source of infrastructure funding is what lead the US to the mess it is in.”

Well using a tax that is a price and not percentage is really the main thing that got us here.  If they want to flat price the tax, it would need to account for inflation, but never did. 

Do you really expect any political leader to meet with the convoy leaders, when several of them, as well as other “influences” of the group, are known racists, or straight up white supremacists? Pat King, BJ Dichter, Randy Hillier... I mean, come on, man. These people have been carrying “Fuck Trudeau” flags for years,…

Can I burn down your house?
No.
Can I burn down just the garage, then?
No.
Well, I’ve got to burn something of yours down.  Why won’t you listen and find a compromise?

But first you got to send a “memorandum of understanding,” purporting to require the company to rescind all Covid precautions or dissolve the entire board of directors, despite there being no provision in the bylaws to any such thing.

What is kinda fucked with this situation is that because of this shutdown, they’re likely obstructing other, “blue collar” workers from getting to work and making a living. 

I wish the reporting around this thing (not specifically referring to this article or site) was more honest. This was a stunt organized by a couple of far-right activists, and the truckers can’t get into the US anyhow because of our vaccine mandates. This wasn’t about truckers. This was always a political stunt that…

Yeah, I’ve had to explain this over and over again to some really smart people in my life. They just don’t understand that there’s no cure for polio, smallpox, the flu, etc., etc.; just that the vaccines tend to be very effective in curbing the spread.

Yes.  In case I’m missing my daily allotment of 13 year old edgelords telling me how they like to fuck my mom.

haha OK.  You got some objective, peer-reviewed, scientific data and analysis for us?  Or are you just pulling shit out of your ass?

Only reason I don’t completely agree with David is that he doesn’t go far enough. “The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing.”

Seriously calling the Nazis socialist... Does anybody know what terms mean anymore?

they’re literally flying nazi and confederate flags.

Calling it anti-vax is pretty bad, they are anti-mandate

Exactly, charge him. Any one of those cars could’ve resulted in a deadly injury. You can call it ‘slush’ to make it sound less threatening, but theres compacted snow, slush, ice, rocks and other debris on the highway. Mix that with him going the speed limit and meeting other motorists driving the limit. He’s lucky he…

But they’re not following the plow at all. It’s spraying over the other side of the road. The entire other side of the road.

~70mph is “a touch too fast?”

Don’t crowd the oncoming cloud coming at you at 70mph from the opposite side of the highway?

I think Luke is referring to the obligation to defend copyright, not a moral stance. It’s an all or nothing gambit in the US. You either defend your copyright at all fronts or you allow projects without a license.

No, they are absolutely not. I know plenty of firearm owners that don’t store their firearms separately from their ammo/magazines. They also don’t store their firearm in a safe or a locked container. Some also have plenty of ghost guns not registered in the state of California, even they are legally required to be…
