NotACop182··on US Interest Burden Hits 28-Year High
They said Japan would collapse with their spending (which is far more then ours per cap). Not only has that claim been proven false it has been the opposite.

Japan has the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in the world at 262%. The country's debt has been above 100% of its GDP for more than two decades. This is due to a combination of factors, including economic policies and an aging population.

NotACop182··on Boeing workers vote to strike
Unions just for existing do not get special protections. Contracts and rights are agreed to by both parties. The processes involved in the firing of employees is black and white. Whatever the company agreed to is the rules.
NotACop182··on Boeing workers vote to strike
Maybe had the company not prioritized greed and instead invested in itself they wouldn’t be in this mess. Don’t blame the workers for this and a company that depends so heavily on the government to keep it afloat shouldn’t be allowed to buyback stocks. Unions in a good place because Boeing isn’t going anywhere. Mismanagement allowed the greedy management to cash out already why not the workers.

NotACop182··on Extremist settlers rapidly seizing West Bank land
I once believed a two state solution would be inevitable. Decades later and I have come to accept that the West Bank will be incorporated into Israel. If you see the maps over time the West Bank has been split into multiple small pockets of refugee sections. Without external pressures nothing will change and the politics on the issue have become toxic in the US.

Hopefully I’m wrong. But tides have shifted in the opposite direction.

Easier way is to put a cap on how much you make. Let’s say 70k. Make more you don’t get the exemption prevents the rich from gaming the system.

Also define tips by industry. Service sector. End of story.

Sorry I was feeding into his manic episode. I do see the point he’s making but it’s flawed. It’s similar to the gun debate.

NotACop182··on Are people too flawed, ignorant, and tribal for open societies?
I probably agree with you on many things but I feel the current party has also abandoned the people, to a lesser extent, for big money interest.

We live in an effective oligarchy and that’s the sad truth of things.

NotACop182··on Wi-Fi jamming to knock out cameras suspected in nine Minnesota burglaries
Your understanding of how policing works is pretty flawed. Cops need warrants to go into any apartment. Also just because someone ran into an apt complex does not mean they live there. You need more probable cause to justify a warrant. What did you want the police to do pull everyone out of there apartments and hand search.
NotACop182··on Wi-Fi jamming to knock out cameras suspected in nine Minnesota burglaries

Good luck filtering them out. It’s almost built into the culture. You’re an outcast where I come from if you fall out of line. You learn to just go with the flow and avoid the bad elements to survive.
NotACop182··on NY Bill Would Require Background Checks to Buy 3D Printers
I work in a major city and not once have I come across a violent crime using a 3D printed part. Most firearms used are stolen in the areas we have homicides. This legislation doesn’t make sense.
