Those “confidential and also copyrighted” disclosures at the end are a sure sign that the lawyer involved has no idea what they’re talking about. That boilerplate pops up in less reputable spots that are willing to bend their ethics to included nonsense in the hopes that it intimidates the recipient. The author…

That was an example. You can also use evidence around rates of murder stemming from domestic abuse due to the presence of a gun.

I’m not trying to troll here, I think it’s important to not use euphemisms and be clear about what we’re saying. How do you think the situation at Kent State would’ve been improved if the students were armed? Would that make the national guard more or less likely to response with force? How are the odds that a…

So, to be clear, you think that military-grade explosives should be easily purchasable by anyone without restriction? I’m not trying to do any gotcha shit, that’s literally your logic here. All over the world, including in the US, withholding the implements of mass murder saves lives. After the OKC bombing, new…

Ok, so you think there shouldn’t be more restrictive gun laws only so that you can murder soldiers? That’s an even worse scenario. Also, it’s only police, not soldiers, that have the ability to violate your rights. Who determines when your second amendment rights allow you to start the killing? I think non-violent…

So if your logic is that we can’t stop mass murders from committing these sprees, then shouldn’t we at least try to reduce the damage they’re able to do on those sprees?

So, to be clear, you think that we shouldn’t implement greater restrictions on guns because then it might be too hard to kill cops when you think they’re offending your rights?

I’m somewhat sympathetic to Philly on the complete waste of the pick because that draft was such trash. Assuming they weren’t going to draft Porzingis since he refused to work out for them, I’m not sure who they should’ve picked instead. Turner has been good, but would still leave them with a logjam at center. Booker…

Why, this poor billionaire only received a mere $200 million in subsidies for his stadium. Absolutely ridiculous that the taxpayers made him pay for half the cost.

For some, but there’s still progress. The Preet years were good for busting corruption in NYS.

Or, and hang with me here, instead of of telling people to accept our stupid, broken, exploitative system or get out, we could make our system less shitty.

Legit looks good on Holgo.

We already have some expedited processes for generics. We could do better (and there are some proposals on the table), but that would be a marginal improvement to only one part of the system. I’m also a fan of reciprocity with the EU and Canada; if it’s good enough for one of us, good for the rest.

So if you think premiums are too high now, why do you support executive actions that will make your premiums even higher?

What solutions are there to costs that don’t involve significant federal intervention? Every other successful cost control mechanism in the world uses state regulation, either through a single payer system that uses its leverage to reduce prices or through regulatory price controls.

You’re missing the point, and haven’t pointed out any lies. A broader risk pool lowers premiums compared to a narrower risk pool. And regardless, literally no one was saying that healthcare inflation would turn negative; the argument was that it would be reduced, which is what happened.

Just to be a pedant, federalism is about the distribution of powers between individual states and the federal government, not the distribution of power between branches of the federal government.

Turns out it was; they had traveling media stay in the vans since they knew he’d be ditching.

I’m even open to the “soft” liberal bias critique that most reporters (as a whole) are generally cosmopolitan in that they’re college rads that work with, and talk to, people from all walks of life and generally live in cities. Even beyond that, though, you get weird political things like the NYT being specifically…

You can’t just dismiss facts that are inconvenient to you imaginary narrative. That’s what republicans do. Be smarter than them.
