I dont really support this for important reasons, but won't gripe about it much.

The problem I have with things like this is, people shouldn't be encouraged to have kids due to monetary rewards in any fashion. And there will undeniably be some bad apples who will have a kid because of the money, when they otherwise wouldn't. Bad reason to have a kid. I feel bad for the kids.

However, I'd support it regardless even if I disagree with it conceptually. Although there will undoubtedly be some abuse of the system, there will also undoubtedly be many honest parents out there in situations where the money will be extremely helpful. So good.

This is fucking infuriating.

It’s still not clear how those deputies were disciplined.

I dont know I'd still argue America is still very much winning at capitalism, because they're cheating, and always have. The low level consumer is irrelevant.

China has a super cheap EV that's better quality and price than anything else sold in the US? Institute massive tarrifs or just completely block them from being sold here.

The capitalists are staying rich and still getting richer. They're winning. Consumer isn't even given the option to buy the cheap China EV, or has to jump through hurdles and hoops to get the option, which very few will do.

Cops should be paid a lot, but the danger should be part of the job and risk. I'm thinking specifically of those Uvalde cowards who did nothing and let kids get killed. Their job should be the risk, to take the bullets, so as to save and help the innocent. That's the risk they should take, and get paid well specifically for that.

Many of our cops are overweight lazy traffic cops who give poor people speeding tickets who are late for their shitty job they can't afford to be late to. Or parking wrong, or whatever.

Teachers deserve a lot more too, way more for different reasons obviously. Unless they're forcing some religious nonsense poison into the minds of growing kids, fuck that.

I wonder what the psychology is behind this. I'm sure most of us don't understand and can't sympathize with someone who gets so caught up in a fictional character, that you go harass the actor, or worse? I just don't get it. I think that guy who played goffrey on game of thrones had problems too.

It just doesn't make sense to me. Is it as simple as lack of intelligence? How can some people not separate fiction from reality? Not to mention all the celebrity worship nonsense.

He definitely deserves it and probably much more if innocent. The problem is taxpayers are footing the bill. It should come from the people responsible. Cops, lawyers, judges, etc are the ones who failed and should be responsible.

Agree 100%. And arguably "in moderation" is much lower than people might want it to be. Plus most of this stuff is processed with high fructose corn syrup trash.

Agreed but the cigarette analogy is not really accurate.

Sugar is arguably good for you in moderation. We evolved to seek out sugar in the form of fruits, berries, etc. Quick energy, fast acting carbohydrates etc.

Can't think of how this translates to a single cigarette lol.
