Sunwoo Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Somewhat pertinent to the topic for today. (Can't believe it's already been a year, fuck.) I thought it was funny, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoblongoo Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Notice how you don't see any of the people usually popping off about how ((socialized medicine)) is a horror story and would ruin healthcare in America being like: "Walking into CVS to get my state-subsidized COVID vaccine and walking out 5 minutes later vaccinated free-of-charge doesn't work for me. I really wish I could be fighting with my insurance company over whether the vaccine is a covered service or I'm on the hook for a $500 pharmacy bill right now."

I think this has something to do with how certain occupations requires their workers to take the vaccine, or that you can't really do much of anything without an mask or proof of vaccination.

If that last one means what I think it is, the argument kind of falls apart because it's not as essential as an diabetic getting their insulin. Sure, some people won't be happy about it; but you can't really compare on how much people will enjoy having kids with receiving lifesaving treatment.

Armchair General Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Well, there's been an rise in people robbing freight trains in L.A.

Robbing freight doesn't sound like it'd be something that directly results from a lack of bail. Like, let's face it, robbing freight isn't exactly petty crime. It's probably a job with an inside man or something or performed by people who really know what they're doing. People who would probably be able to pay bail if they needed to because they're organized crime practitioners who have made so much buck robbing freight, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair General Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Well, I posted the wrong article, earlier. Here's the correct one. 3 hours ago, Jotari said: Robbing freight doesn't sound like it'd be something that directly results from a lack of bail. Like, let's face it, robbing freight isn't exactly petty crime. It's probably a job with an inside man or something or performed by people who really know what they're doing. People who would probably be able to pay bail if they needed to because they're organized crime practitioners who have made so much buck robbing freight, But you're right in the sense that this is an organized attempt if dozens of freight cars are being broken into on an regular basis. And for some reason, there's an trend of an lot of charges getting reduced or dropped entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current political climate, there's already a good chance it might not make it past this year's midterms. Some GOPs have already threatened to jail the committee members if they regain the majority in the chambers. The committee has already stated they'd send everything to the DOJ during the Summer, so... we'll see, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair General Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Since the truckers' attempt in Canada led to frozen bank accounts and towed vehicles, our American counterparts have set aside their differences to launch their own convoy starting from an location that I can't be bothered to look up in California and traveling along I-40 to Washington D.C. in attempt to protest the Covid mandates, which are on the verge of being lessened in certain states. Next week's forecast includes local gas shortages, Trump being blamed for this, several people losing their rigs and possibly being arrested (Yes, D.C. has the authority to tow your legally parked car whenever an emergency Senate session is declared), the inevitable noise pollution, and the economic collapse of immediate area around the White House. But seriously, this is doomed to go up in flames...Aside from being an boon to local gas and food sales. I'm half-expecting for the National Guard to get involved. Turns out that around 700 guardsmen have been deployed Edited February 24, 2022 by Armchair General Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
