  • Because cops in America all fancy themselves the Punisher (don’t even get me started on that) where everyone is out to get them and every one they shoot is one less bad guy on the street.

    No incentive to change when they can get away with killing with impunity and fulfill their murder fantasies.

    Asshole who shot this kid probably bragged to all his buddies about smoking a dude with a knife and got attaboys all around.

    Not really. People forget that most of the rest of the industrialized world at the time was devastated by one of the most destructive wars in human history. Essentially the rest of the world was dependent on US manufacturing, which was virtually unscathed.

    That being said, the current situation is absolutely unacceptable. We are fully in the late stages of capitalism, and wages have not be remotely linked to productivity. The only reason anyone in the United States is living in poverty is greed. (I can’t speak of other places as I don’t know enough about their economies to have an informed opinion).

    We live in the richest nation in the world, and the shrinking/struggling economic middle class is a direct result of Reaganomics and under-regulated free market capitalism.

    Exactly that. Homelessness isn’t a social issue that needs to be solved, it’s the consequences of the unhomed’s poor choices and absolutely nothing else.

    Arguing with willful ignorance is fucking exhausting, you literally can’t get them to see past their blind beliefs because most of them wear “you can’t change my mind” like a badge of honor.



  • But, in this sense, she’s almost certainly referring to mulled cider, which is pretty much exclusively made with the hard stuff, with the some additional flavors and spices, and likely spiked as well.

    My personal favorite recipe involves hard cider, cranberry juice, spices, and then spiked with rum.

    It’s much more fall feeling and alcoholic than either cider alone.
