Here’s my simple take. Vote Harris, then hold a massive pro Palestinian demonstration on inauguration day. Harris might be swayed, trump would just claim the demonstration was to celebrate him.

No argument on the second part. But not sure about the first. The laws “implying” something often isn’t enough to charge.

Where did you see that info? The article is horrible, but I am pretty sure it never said that.

I haven’t read the laws, but I am willing to bet they say it has to be secured, but doesn’t say you can’t give the keys to a minor.

Time to change that last name either way. It should perish.

The second one is fine. And even 3,45 isn’t terrible, unless there are three digits after the comma. Then it is just wrong… in my opinion of course

So any background on what the cops knew at the time? It says the car was reported to have been involved in a shooting at a school… but no gus were found and it was night I think. Also I have heard others say (but haven’t seen in an article) that the car was stolen and the guy who died had a rap sheet. I doubt the cops knew who he was, but they might have known the car was stolen. But if they knew none of these things, that would be a pretty stark picture.

Let’s all take a moment to not at the bottom of the article that it says since 1990 only 83 people have died in such incidents. That is a goal the US could never hope to achieve in my lifetime.

This dumb American is all for moving to the same units as the rest of the world. I would even agree to reordering the way we write dates. But not using a . where a comma belongs is a hill I will die on.

If you are in the US, and maybe other places, check your local library. Ours has a library of things. It includes tools, board games, musical instruments, electronics, cooking gear, toys and tons of other stuff. Otherwise, the local home depot rents things like chainsaws at a reasonable price.

More than that. You probably use them in public, where there are tons of cameras. So if you forget you phone in say a restaurant, odds are they have video of you unlocking it.
And let’s not forget all the poorly secured wifi access points people commonly connect to…

Maybe this is how ww3 happens after all.

Wait until you hear about the deductible… where I am (not earthquake country by any means) the deductible was $80k. I sad pass on that.

Because both sides have extremists. And the liberal extremists live here. Just keep in mind society failed the extremists on both sides. It isn’t entirely thier fault.

Which is not the same as a flood zone. A costal flood zone is super vague and covers an extremely large area. The bar for requiring insurance is rightfully not that low.

Well last century is the was the black panthers… and that lead to gun control by a republican governor. So… how about a mix and black and white people on patrol to see if we can scare them into wanting gun control.

What would actually happen if there was $100,000 of damage or more to like 100,000 houses in that area. FEMA only pays less than $50k. And according to the studies they always talk about, most people don’t have $50k to fix their house. Would they just be homeless? The mold growth from all that water would make the houses unlivable.

Here is a bit of a different take. The entire economy is based on businesses taking risk. Every start up is a risk, and the majority fail. But that is what you have to do in business to get ahead. Now translate that to something like flood insurance. Would a sartup business pay for that if it wasn’t required. No way. They would say if it happens the business just fails. So costs and pay are based on the same concept. Some people would end up destitute in retirement if they paid for all the insurance they should have.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Insurance shouldn’t be a for profit business.

For private insurance, the key is “to stay in business with huge profits” for the gov version, it’s politics of course, which you point out. They could easily fund it.
