Criminals walk into a store, steal things and leave. Or you have criminals walking around with 80+ arrests that are let go same day over and over again.

On the flip side I started using Claude with other LLMs (openai) because my Pro sub gets maxed out quickly and I want a cheaper alternative to finish a project. I just use claude code proxy or litellm and set the ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to my pr

Both countries have high Debt to GDP, US being much higher is also a reserve currency which makes it slightly more complicated. The point being is that the US should NOT follow ANY economic advice from EU leaders, it is a recipe for disaste

When we talk about that in people terms, it goes one way. But then the same people defend the same argument on a country basis? Aren't they the same thing?
575.
by mlrtime 10mo ago
Ok but did that happen? And that's always been the case, what happens when EU shrinks to <1% of global GDP?

Right but the services sector is more than running strip clubs for tourists. Spain just doesn't export any services other than strip clubs apparently. The US doesn't have this problem. The Financial Services market is the largest

It's funny, I say the exact same thing about crime in NYC. Statistically it's safer than rural Oklahoma... but your lived experience in taking the subway 45 minutes every day will not paint the same safety experience that can&#x27

Because the SP500 is a better indicator of the market than USD. Also if you look at the global dollar index, it is right at par historically. The companies in the 500 are mostly global companies, if the USD shrunk so much they would either

They are two separate issues, you don't look at the returns on SPY vs every currency.

by mlrtime 10mo ago
If you have to hold USD to buy and sell USD products (as a European) it doesn't make sense to compare your SPY position vs EURUSD because you have to use those USD to buy something or pay some debt.

It is flawed because it's conflating two different independent variables. It's also looking for a specific weak point where there is none, more as if it is trying to state a narrative. If you want to talk about EURUSD then just st

That is great and I agree with you, but not how things work on the streets, at least in NYC.

That's great, but they cannot feed a nation 100% or even close for long periods of time.

And replace with what? Do you think this is a local LEO problem?

What is the NPA for?

I'm confused now, are you talking about shoplifting?
587.
by mlrtime 10mo ago
Americans will try anything to stop shoplifting--except enforcing it.

by mlrtime 10mo ago
You forgot the local DA that run on a political stance to NOT be tough on crime. Police will not arrest if the DA won't prosecute.

So Costco?

by mlrtime 10mo ago
Your [popular on HN] anti-crypto crusade doesn't make this a logical comparison. XMR is not illegal to use or own, shoplifting is.
591.
by mlrtime 10mo ago
It makes a whole lot of sense, otherwise there is a loophole for unlimited stealing as Police/DAs do not want to waste time on misdemeanor theft. Also, you don't want to criminalize the person who stole one small thing vs serial s

Was that in the article?

by mlrtime 10mo ago
To be fair to OP I didn't see people come in and blatantly steal items and walk out as if there were no consequiences. In NYC before Covid, I never saw it. After, many many times.

Listen, you don't have to do this and are free to disagree. However, this method has worked and will continue to work. Lots of people are fine just doing their shift and leaving, that's ok. Some people are not satisfied with that

Unfortunately for them they are technically criminals by entering illegally. They all knew they were taking a calculated risk by coming here, some made it, some did not. Agreed on the reform, we are in a pendulum stage now where the previou

>does not feel like they can push us around as much as the Americans will tolerate Good luck with that, I don't think it will ever happen. You'd need to first stop being dependent on for Energy.

>It's more of a co-dependence. When it comes to military we have fallen behind significantly, but the EU member states also doesn't want to spend a trillion euros a year on it. Yes, you get it. And the American tax payers also

By trying to fend off, you mean stop sending Euros to Russia for energy?

>controlled yearly immigration. IMO the problem lies with this statement. For people like OP any "control" of immigration is going to be responded with the same criticisms. Because if you take a stance hard enough, any of these

Unfortunately ICE has somewhat broad powers that allow them to enforce Federal laws that local LEOs cannot get away with. This should be challenged in a court.
