Nevermind that the seperation was going on before Trump, and was a result of a Supreme Court decision saying keeping the kids together with their parents was a human rights violation.


Which is something everyone forgets to mention. The separation was happening because you can't put kids in adult prisons.

Mass separation is a Trump policy. Keep trying.


"Zero tolerance" is a trump policy. Mass separation is the result of actually enforcing the laws on the books. There's a difference.

You finally admit it.


You must be confusing me with someone else. My stance on the immigration issue has ALWAYS been that if you take issue with what happens when the laws are enforced, then we should get congress to change them. Having government arbitrarily not enforce laws we don't like is the absolute dumbest way to run a government. I support Trump's shift to requiring the federal government actually enforce our laws, but I also support congress making new laws to change how things are going down, and I think we as a nation have collectively given up on the idea of using our government as it was designed which is causing way more problems than its fixing.

Does anybody still want to argue that mass separation was happening before Trump? Anybody?


HOLD ON there, chief. You used the phrase "mass separation" first. Dark and I both used the phrase "the separation" because we were talking about what happens at the border to people arrested. What's happening to families isn't anything new because that's how the laws are structured. That is objectively true. You can argue that under Trump it's happening more often, but you CAN'T argue that the policy of separating kids from their parents is something new under Trump because that's objectively not true.

would it not cut down on the costs to the government if people can assess and fix their own problems that are related to their household?


This gets into a much larger topic, but basically you're asking the question that is the fundamental divide between republicans and democrats. A democrat would argue that the benefit of such knowledge has an intangible social benefit that outweighs the costs. A republican would argue that government oversight would actually drive UP costs in the way that insurance has.

The problem is that, absent government support, people have to think really hard about what they believe the value of something is. If they had to pay $1,000 to learn how to fix a sink, they're going to determine for themselves if that knowledge is worth that much. If the government pays for it, people see it as "free" even though it's coming out of taxes. In turn, that place teaching you how to fix a sink will find the maximum amount government will pay for, and charge that instead. To you, it's still free, but the actual cost of the program is now $5K or $10K, because "why not"? No politician would dare take the "free thing" away even though the costs have skyrocketed, and most people would probably not fix their own sink anyway. Since there's no way to bring costs down, the market is effectively ruined.

EDIT:
For example, your point: "Make education free, and you'll have less people relying on the government to deal with their problems, ergo, the government can use their coffers to better deal with the problems assualting humanity."
You're saying that educating people will save the government money by having the government... pay to give everyone an education. They would be using their coffers to pay for the education. Unless you can show that people learning to fix their own plumbing has an actual financial benefit to the country as a whole (or any number of degrees/certifications), all that you've done is turned your money into "free money" through taxes and stopped caring about the actual value of the free thing.

EDIT X2:
And that's not to say that no oversight is better than total oversight... just that it's a very complicated problem with a lot of moving parts that people tend to gloss over because they think "more free stuff" automatically benefits society.

For something like, say, higher education, I'd argue we shouldn't have universal higher education. It completely kills the point of it, the vast majority of people will barely if at all use what they learn, and it dis-incentivizes blue collar and trades which we need desperately.

We need to figure out how to destigmatize vocational training, which no amount of legislation and/or social programs can actually accomplish.


Giving college away for free is counter to those goals, though, because it further cements the idea that if you don't go and finish you've somehow failed as a person. "Blue collar" only started to be a dirty word when college graduation started to be pushed as a requirement to succeed.

Yes, exactly.


So the solution is to make blue collar financially attractive. Show a bunch of kids that they can start making $60K right out of apprenticeship a full 3 years before their peers graduate with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt with no obvious job guarantees and suddenly the kids who pick up a trade are the "smart ones". More people will seriously question whether their degree in medieval dance theory is actually going to pay off and the result should be a cultural shift.

I too appreciate those that ask that question. It is of the utmost importance.

How would you propose these things happen that she's asking for?

I'd suggest it comes down to one thing that will snowball. Hear me out though.

Raise taxes to pay for free public transportation. It's a small thing to start with (maybe an extra $10 to $20 for those that live in the municipality that has these things). Those that use it save money on their monthly passes, while those that don't use it may be persuaded to use it since they're paying for it. Use it as a try-out. If it works well, try rolling the program out on a larger level. It has to be taxes on everyone, otherwise you won't get enough money to upgrade the existing service. Think what the metros/busses could do with an influx of hundreds of millions of dollars.

The reason I chose that as my starting point is because, during the 80s, to clean up crime in NYC, the mayor didn't "go big or go home." He simply began a crack down on those that jumped the metro turnstiles. Once implemented, they saw a drastic drop in crime not only in the subways, but across the board. It's rather funny that one small thing could impact such a larger area.

My source is I read it in a book. I think it was Malcolm Gladwell, but don't quote me on it. I'm sure you could find the cause/statistics if you looked. I'm currently too lazy to do so, heh.


You're thinking of "The Tipping Point" by Gladwell. The problem is the thoery he's referencing (broken window theory) has since been proven bunk.

As to your other question, "How would you propose these things happen that she's asking for", it really depends on which item. For something like, say, higher education, I'd argue we shouldn't have universal higher education. It completely kills the point of it, the vast majority of people will barely if at all use what they learn, and it dis-incentivizes blue collar and trades which we need desperately.

For other things like "Housing as a human right" it really depends on how you define it. Saying home ownership is a right is insane, but if you're arguing that we should try to eliminate homelessness or work towards a more effective shelter system... that I can get behind.

Then there are the functionally impossible actions, like "100% renewables" which boil down to "I promise to catch rainbows in jars and eliminate the need to poop where the raw numbers make it impossible unless you can convince most people to use candles after dark.

The issue is the list is a set of vague promises for "good things" without enough specifics to even really dig into the "hows". Of the full set, only "paid family care" and "improve campaign finance" actually come close to actionable and in both can be done with little to no cost through bills to ban things or incentives to businesses that provide child care.

God of War for me when it comes to single player games. I enjoy Bayonetta and DMC, but for some reason this game couldn't keep my interest. It's not a bad game by any means, I just don't have incentives to go back and continue playing it though.


In case you didn't know, New Game+ has you play the game through another character's perspective and goes beyond the ending of the first playthrough and has massive plot revelations, and NG++ is yet another character you play as starting with where NG and NG+ ended.

There's SIGNIFICANT reason to go back to the game if you've beaten it, because at least the next 2 playthroughs are like completely different games.

I find this rather funmy because those against her (most anyway) had no problem with Donnie's pure bullshit policies. He never once said anything of substance as to how he wished to achieve the platforms he set out, yet it was good, great, grand enough then. Now, someone makes baseless promises and it's all "How will you do it? That's my real concern."

Note: I don't know your political leanings @s0nicfan, so I'm not attacking you, just the viewpoint of those I mentioned above.


That's a fair assessment. Republicans are often the party of "how are we going to pay for it" until they have their own policies. That being said, I appreciate someone at least asking the question, so I don't think they should be dinged for that explicitly. I think the difference between Trump's policies and hers is that most of his were one-off projects like the wall, or taking away things that cost money in the first place. Social Security and state pensions in the era of aging baby boomers has shown that policies designed to give everyone (present AND future) something without a firm method of payment can only result in disasters long-term when the money runs out, so you need a bit more planning to justify them because once you add them, it's basically impossible to remove them.

So he didn't call the cops on her for using coupons. He called the cops because she was using an impossible combination of coupons and trying to force the issue, and when he gave up on her she started recording and saying on film he implied it was her race... so he called the cops to get her out of the store.

There are so many examples of real racism (like that guy who had the cops called on him and he was the store owner) that we don't really need to fabricate instances like this and pretend it's racism. He said "I hate people like you" as in obsessive couponers, but she IMMEDIATELY went to racism.

The bigger you get, the bigger the target on your back gets too. Also when it comes to programmers I have heard Amazon is considered one of the most desirable places to work.


Even for programmers I've heard the opposite. They're actually pretty notorious for hiring Junior employees and then working them crazy hours for 2 to 3 years until they burn out and quit, because there's a never-ending stream of programmers coming out of college that don't know better and think Amazon is a catch.


Public accounting is the same way for the big firms.


My brother is in accounting, and I think that wins the award for "holy shit that's a lot of work". He was doing something like 100 hours a week for years before he went back to grad school just to escape it. And if he didn't he was basically told that the industry would eject him and he'd never get a job better than at a local bank branch.


Or you just move to a smaller firm where they don't work you like crazy like that. The Big 4 looks nice on your resume but overall the people I've worked with from them are pretty hit or miss. Some are great, others are terrible. Smaller firm people at least have the sense of how to get things done when you get a mess from a client.

Was he eligible for overtime pay? Because it sounds like he might have been doing the work of 2-3 full-time workers for one worker's salary.


They're all salaried, and I think he got OT but it crossed a point in terms of hours where the pay really wasn't worth it. He was an athletic kid that did crew for like 8 years and 100+ hour weeks, 7 days a week, for nearly 3 years just wasted him away. And he wasn't alone... all his co-workers worked those hours. The corporate environment had them in a sort of peer-pressure situation where they were all competing the the few higher level positions and were encouraged to try and out-work the other candidates.

He would probably have Groot kill Starlord because that would subvert my expectations


He would probably have Drax stop Rocket from shooting someone because only love can save us, and then immediately after the bad guy will win.

According to one of the original articles, the guy was earning money before going off to school, so it's possible he was doing this for a quick "flash in the pan" social media frenzy to raise money, but that's completely speculation on my part.

I bet it's actually not bad compared to other similar warehouse-type jobs. It just gets a lot of attention because it's trendy to bash on Amazon these days. The bigger you get, the bigger the target on your back gets too. Also when it comes to programmers I have heard Amazon is considered one of the most desirable places to work.


Even for programmers I've heard the opposite. They're actually pretty notorious for hiring Junior employees and then working them crazy hours for 2 to 3 years until they burn out and quit, because there's a never-ending stream of programmers coming out of college that don't know better and think Amazon is a catch.


Public accounting is the same way for the big firms.


My brother is in accounting, and I think that wins the award for "holy shit that's a lot of work". He was doing something like 100 hours a week for years before he went back to grad school just to escape it. And if he didn't he was basically told that the industry would eject him and he'd never get a job better than at a local bank branch.

Do Republicans just really love seeing people suffer? It would explain a lot of things.


It looks like the actual full quote is this:
"They talk about things that everybody wants, especially if youre a parent they talk about education for your kids, health care... [but] its easy to fall into that trap & say, my kids deserve this, and maybe gov't should help me'"


People have just been cutting apart the actual quote to make it look worse. Nobody is saying people don't want education or healthcare for their kids. They're just towing the republican line of "it'll be better and more affordable in the free market". They're expressing discomfort in how easy it is to fall into the trap of being promised everything and supporting someone with no actual plan to make it happen.

We're rubber banding from the laid back Google culture into the scary, malicious Amazon culture. I


Google is only superficially laid back. They use peer pressure instead to the same effect as Amazon. The reason their campus is all inclusive is because they don't ever want you to leave, and they actively discourage employees from having kids because it interferes with work.

Well, i was really just signifying that the mortal kombat and street fighter games were so popular there was a line to play so you had to put a quarter on the machine. "I GOT NEXT!"


SF and MK were staples, but there was always a strange hype around the Killer Instinct and Primal Rage cabinets. Maybe it's just because they were so odd relative to everything else.
