No incident of rioting is acceptable...celebrating any of them is ridiculous. It does seem to be a double standard in allowing it for months in 2020 only to condemn it when the same tactics are used on 1/6. Violence and lawlessness i

Shutting down a judicial governing body through nightly attacks for month should also have consequences...but it didn't. I literally watched it happen for months on end with little repercussions by local law enforcement (because they

You can always desolder it from the board...most fobs open up pretty easily.

Not everyone thinks they are horrible, and for the many that do they are relying on the media saying that they played a part in the Capitol riots. I haven't actually seen any data showing what was posted on Parler or what evidence was

Unfortunately the US auto unions try to capitalize on the good nature and cooperation of the VW union to say that they should unionize the VW plant in Kentucky or Tennessee (I think that was where it was). Saying that VW has unions already

I'd be happy to pass you on to anyone that works at a daycare. They don't make much more than minimum wage in many cases. That's how daycare can remain somewhat affordable...economies of scale. Even your own source of care.

A crazy city council member claimed fires were started by cops in Portland...without evidence and despite contrary evidence showing them being started by the protestors/rioters.

You really think that? Talk to any of the chinese citizens that have fled the country to live elsewhere. Certain parts of how that government runs may look good from afar, but not if you are actually living under their rule.

They went to the port of Seattle and LA...same union but different local leadership. They weren't much better, but better enough to relocate and pay to truck goods up and down the I5 corridor.

That is not how math works. My kids day care has a government mandated 8 to 1 ratio. That teacher doesn't get paid 8x the average wage to watch kids. I don't pay $25/hr for my 2 kids to be at daycare. A local babysitter ca

When I refer to the European model I'm probably talking about the German model. Many years ago the articles I was reading had been going over the VW union so it was likely Germany. The cooperation part and inefficiencies you mention

But in many cases you can't choose which union you have to do business with. Do work at this location you have to do business with this union. Many examples of unions fighting other unions because they think they should get the work.

I've never fully understood public unions to be honest. Unions used to be the best way to protect yourself from a bad employer...but the employer is the government (and to some extent the people). It used to be that public sector wor

Unions in the US and unions is Europe are completely different. In one they cooperate to see that the company succeeds...and in the other they seek to drive up the cost of doing business to the point that shitty products are extremely expe

These were not fabricated events in Portland. In fact the mayor restricted what the police could do and how far things had to escalate before the police could do anything. Lasers, fireworks, fires, bricks...not much was off limits to the

That was certainly my point...every nation state does their best to obfuscate their code and point somewhere else.

This. We don't have civil discourse anymore...people just yell and call people names. You don't like what the other person says they are a "libtard"...or a "racist". You don't like what they are doing o

Spoken like someone that only sees right and left. In fact many people on the "right" were tired of seeing FB and Twitter control so much and they were constantly told it's a private platform so go make your own. They did s

It was not done by a bunch of amateurs that is for sure. Now everything points to Russia, but that is also the most obvious clues to leave as who would question it. However...we know the NSA wants to be in every system and this kind of op

There are dozens of accounts for groups in Portland that aren't specifically calling for violence because they use code words. Despite violence happening constantly for 5+ months at the events being organized... I haven't actuall

Protesting anything is fine. It's how far you take that protest that is the problem. When does a protest become a riot? When you block traffic? When you enter a secured space? When you break into a federal building? When you set f

You would also think that an unemployement claim might have a red flag thrown if it's still reporting unemployment taxes because the person is still working. My company had many individuals that were notified the state had been paying

At the same time what % of Americans have an iPhone? What % drive a car < 3 years old? What % have the latest $200 Nikes, $500 purses or $2K MacBooks? There is certainly a problem with income inequality in the world, but it's hardly

Interesting read, but seeing how the article was written by the "International Inequalities Institute" it doesn't give me a lot of good feelings that it is unbiased. I think most people can agree that if you zero in on just

How do you define credible? Someone that releases information that you agree with? His videos are often releases of what Antifa publishes and rarely of his own recording (mostly because he has been violently attacked in the past by them).
