    Hey gun people.

    For decades I’ve been arguing you, and you always seem to think the 2A is very important for freedom in case you ever need to have a revolution.

    I want to point out that here’s an excellent chance to convince me I’ve been wrong about 2A being archaic.

      95% of American gun owners are pussies that couldn’t even get past the first hurdle when aiming at another human being unless their god king tells them to.

      that’s because they follow directions fairly well but lack the basic foundations of free thought.

    State assistance for corporate security

    If we don’t take the funds from healthcare budget, then Iran will win.

    Huh. ~200 people who’ve screwed over a lot of people are going to be in the same place at the same time, and that fact has been advertised?

    Wow. That takes some serious balls. I wish them luck.

      It’s going to be a zoom call. Though it would be hilarious if the governor actually hated CEOs, got them all in one place, and tried to consistently leak the info ahead of time.

    Everybody deserves the protection of our law enforcement, unless you aren’t wealthy or powerful. And if you’re black, we’ll be sure to harass and/or assault you.

    Everybody deserves protection, says the governor only protecting the elites.

    One murder has put it all in to stark relief for many where the loyalties of law enforcement lie; and yet i cant help but think no one will remember who was on the side of the working class come election season

      To be fair, at the very most 5% of national level general elections feature a candidate who’s not an enemy of the working class.

      Because probably the richest political party in the world is the least bad of two options and blatantly favor donors over grassroots in the primaries that they are somehow still allowed to be the arbiters of.

      It’s like pitting 1989 Mike Tyson against 1989 Mohammed Ali, except Ali gets a head start where Tyson has to stand completely still, a loaded shotgun, and is the match referee.

    Excited to see a huge investment in PR for corporate leadership in the next few years. Like Shark Tank and Undercover Boss weren’t saccharine enough. You’re going to get the Full Israel of media coverage soon.

      I haven’t watched a lot of Shark Tank, but it wasn’t doing a lot to endear billionaires to me. But given how little I watched, I may not be the target demographic.

    “We protect everybody on the streets of New York, not just CEOs,” Hochul said. “Everybody deserves the protection of our law enforcement.”

    New York City averages over 1 murder per day. Weird how the CEO seems to be the only one getting any attention whatsoever, since everyone is getting equal protection.

      We cant afford for every American to have secret service protection. So we should just get rid of the secret service entirely. Big money wastage. TSA also needs to go. They never did anything to start with.

      Besides that, law enforcement doesn’t protect anyone. Didn’t protect Brian Thompson, did it?

      Law enforcement is reactive. They show up after the crime has been committed to take notes (incorrectly) and maybe arrest the wrong person. Oh, except when patrol officers are running speed traps so they can intimidate the undesirables and shake them down for fines (which are regressive), maybe abuse some authority (or just make shit up) in order to provoke an unnecessary arrest.

    Funny how it’s all about protecting people when a rich guy gets shot but not when any of us gets shot.

    Using our taxes to provide free private security to the wealthiest people in the state?

    Up yours, Hochul.
