Open your eyes: McDonnell wasn't the only one: 1 is meaningless 2 could be a coincidence 3 is a pattern. -

Why? He's systematically using the legal system to harm political opponents. Other than murder, what could be worse? -
Final Report of the Special Counsel

The SCOTUS recognized qualified immunity for the POTUS. As they said, if the President is tasked with it then it isn't and can't be illegal. Jack Smith was trying to prosecute Trump for doing his job. When that didn't work, he tried to claim that he wasn't doing his job. That's a rebranding of the same acts...official acts. It's also the same thing Jack Smith got rejected by SCOTUS in the McDonnell case. Even if Smith had managed to get a conviction it would have been thrown out a second time by SCOTUS. Jack Smith is the single worst abuser of the legal system we have ever seen. He should lose all law licenses he owns and barred from all offices. In addition, he should be jailed for what he did. -

Before I start, we have to understand what money represents. All money is earned by time. If you work, you get paid for units of time. If you invest you get paid for change over time. If you loan you get paid over time. Therefor, every dollar represents a portion of your life. The more taxes you pay, the more of your life you lose to the government. The more subsidies you receive, the more of someone else's life you have taken. Two major issues with this. First, there is no success without the possibility of failure. Second, by increasing the buying power of the poor, you will increase the cost of essential goods by increasing demands and therefore you will not change the circumstances of those that are poor. At the same time, the increased taxes will cause the middle class to have less money and they'll now be effectively poor. There is no free. All government paid health care follows the same path. It starts by painting with a broad brush to entice voters to vote away their right to life. After they've done that, demand for services will exceed supply (like a candy store that gives away candy to kids). So the government, incapable of increasing supply due to constraints of money and or personell, will start wait lists that will prioritize based on government priorities. Low pay for professionals will cause more lack of supply. Eventually, care will be difficult to impossible to obtain and constraints will be numerous. At that point, the right to live will be obviously lost and can't be regained without force. How did they vote away their right to life? Let's start with the definition of right: power or privilege held by the general public [Cornell]. If the individual controls the 6 Ws (who, what, when, where, why and how) of an act, they hold the right. If the government controls the 6 Ws, then it is a privilege or entitlement. This is laughable. The people that are rich will be controlling the government. They'll use the tax dollars that the government collects to line their pockets. So, yes, millionaires will be ecstatic. You won't be. Your 50% marginal rate will be devastating. There will be massive inequality in socialism. Inequity will be minimal. That is a huge difference. If there is equality, there is inequity. Inequity exists because outcomes for equal and free people will vary. Socialism doesn't change behavior. It attempts to force behavior. That is the big folly of socialism. Greed, selfishness, etc will always exist regardless of how authoritarian the government is. If anything, socialism will make greed worse. Because resources will be harder to gain and gaining resources will mean taking from others, greed and selfishness will flourish. This is how socialism always fails. Why work when you get the same stuff if you are lazy? Why be honest when the only way to get ahead is to steal? This is the most naive point yet. Who are these angels that will protect our interests? They won't be greedy? Obviously it's only greedy if it's the other guy. Let's talk about reality. If a "business" doesn't have to be profitable why would they have to have quality? In capitalistic economies, poor products are rejected by the consumers because they have limited funds and won't waste it on products that don't meet their needs or wants. In socialism, profit isn't necessary so they provide whatever crap they want to and you, as the consumer, have no choice but to accept it. Then why is China the dirtiest country in the world? Private insurance isn't a hidden tax. That is an insane stretch. Health insurance is a cost. There are far more efficient, captalist ways to obtain health care. We should explore those and retain our right to live. -

Like enslaving the populous. Socialism cannot coexist with individual rights. -

I'm kind of shocked that he would admit his posts are of a sober mind. At least if he was drunk or high he'd have an excuse. -

No. What i said was you think that anyone in the military is an extremist. We aren't going to stop beating our wives because we never started and we arent going to kick out extremists because your definition of extremist is bullshìt. -

Because you and your ilk think anyone that knows how to shoot a gun is a right wing extremist. The problem is not Pete and his views, it's you. -
I didn't say annually. I said regularly occurring. I posted the cycles. Just scroll up. As for the funding, as I have said, the fire chief said it wasnt enough to be prepared and lo and beholden, they were not prepared. Inflation, urban sprawl, and DEI hiring meant they got less for more, had more area to protect and with less capable personell.
