Trump was onto something when he wanted to ban TikTok.

number of tyrants overthrown or stopped by 2A: 0

Putting up bard wire fencing shows that politicians in the Capitol were ******** their pants, and that was without the mob having guns present.
The existence of the 2A is merely a reminder to those in power of what the Founding Fathers warn of.

Moving the minimum wage up means needing to increase the pay for those that already make $15/hr, which then forces the business to increase pay for everyone else higher up the payscale.

In an organization with multiple job positions with varying pay, that could mean thousands more in payroll costs, which would be passed onto the consumer.

I mean, why would a nurse settle for being paid $5 more than a janitor, having to go through years of schooling and debt?
Oh, right, then the push would then move to make higher education free.

Basically that means everyone would be paying more taxes to pay for these pie-in-the-sky policies.

Same reason that MSRP exists, to give an idea of what the baseline is that everyone else is charging.

If anything the fact that they survive and thrive in Black neighborhoods shows that how supportive black people have been over decades of time

LA is not a "black neighborhood".

A guy having "bad day" kills 8 people and the discussion immediately shifts to our nation's poor mental health infrastructure. Same with the Colorado gunman

But the homeless guy on parole for murdering his mother stomps out an Asian person and that angle is mysteriously absent from the discussion...why is that?

Ask Democrats, since they always respond to attributing these types of crimes to mental health issues as a cop-out.
Also, Republicans have no qualms with locking the mentally ill away in institutions for the betterment of society, but apparently that's considered a violation of "individual rights" or something. Ask yourself why he was out and about despite stabbing his mother to death, rather than being locked away.

Black people as a group have never had an issue with Asian people.

Oh really...

But then, you'd have to ignore topics where black people on CE and 261 claim Asians steal from blacks by opening businesses in "their" neighborhood, profiling black shoppers for shoplifting, sell "black people hair" products behind locked glass, refuse to hire black people or invest money back to the black community.

Did you know Amazon saw record profit despite COVID as well?

Your point?

Since the left has no problem labeling covid as "Trump virus" due to rising numbers, is it inappropriate to call it the Macron virus for the same reason?

Hmm?

Isn't Discord Chinese owned?

Why are conservatives pretending that unaccompanied children are the same as children being deliberately separated from their families?

Is "families" the new word for "coyotes"?

If I or anyone else did what he did, we would have been arrested and charged that same day.

Because you're not in a occupation that allows the use of deadly force.

And if you aren't aware, the usual course of action when deadly force is used by police is an internal investigation, not an immediate arrest and prosecution for "murder/manslaughter".

A soldier that kills a person while in a firefight is not immediately put on trial either.

Before I start what? You seem incredibly determined to tell me what I'm saying when literally all I've done is expect you to explain your reasoning.

Like every other user who asks questions that can be answered by reading the link and using critical thinking, thinking that they have a "gotcha" moment.

TheOtherMike posted...

Yes, restrictions impact businesses. Again, where did I say otherwise?

Look at a map of which States have less restrictions. Now look at which party is in control. But you knew this.

Imagine being angry that an anniversary game is being pulled after being on the market for a year.

And only from Nintendo. Doubt third party retailers like Amazon are going to go "Welp, time to destroy all of our remaining stock on April 1st".

will there be global outrage?

No

TheOtherMike posted...

Answer the question directly. How long was that particular restriction?

Tried to save you from looking like a fool.
2 weeks.
And seeing that you clearly don't own a business, otherwise you would have known this
Add another 4-5 weeks for the bank to process your PPP application and then to send you the check in the mail.

And before you start, do you agree that people being delayed from applying (not receiving/processing, but applying) unemployment and other forms of aid, for two weeks, won't have any impact whatsoever, right?

TheOtherMike posted...

Again, answer the question.

If you can't infer that COVID restrictions telling restaurants and hotels that they can't operate without restrictions would impact a bakery that generates a majority of their revenue from said businesses, then this conversation is clearly too complicated for you.

What else does it say, lol

It's laughing at Germany and France, which have more deaths despite a stricter lockdown.

I like how TC ignored my question lol

Sounds like they were the victim of a pandemic impacting tourism and not a political party.

*Looks at Florida*
Surely, no one wants to be traveling and vacationing, huh.

As for "decline", you need to look up its history to see why that line means little.

Doom_Art posted...

And...?

Guess what a lockdown proclamation does.

Darker Cheshire posted...

Biden has been president for all of two months. If his policy somehow resulted in this business shutting down, it doesn't sound like they were in a very sustainable position since the beginning of the pandemic.

Loves main revenue came from hotels, restaurants, and schools.
They weren't rolling in money like Amazon, but they weren't exactly on the brink of bankruptcy seeing that it's a 170 year old bakery

FrisbeeDude posted...

dude is just a violent psycho. He was convicted of killing his own mother, but one often does not have time for facts when trolling can be had

I wonder why he was out walking around on the streets, instead of, you know, locked up.
I don't think conservatives were the ones to advocate for such a position.

Had those last five words been the first, it would have saved me time reading.

Republicans were literally wanting Biden to make it harder for people to get stuff. Saying it was socialism for the rich. HE did that, they still didn't vote for the Bill and you are blaming Biden for doing what the Republicans wanted.

You seem to be confused, since the PPP isn't related to the American Rescue Plan.

How long did that restriction last?

Long enough to prevent Loves from obtaining the funds needed to pay rent.

alt right deflecting as usual maybe if ur go Trump had taken covid seriously none of us would be in this mess to begin with it all falls on Trump all of it

France is entering another lockdown due to COVID numbers, is Macron a secret fascist, or is it because COVID will spread regardless of measures taken?

Its Joe Bidens fault that tourist related businesses are closing at a time when travel is dangerous!

Can't read, huh. Changing PPP has nothing to do with tourism.

American fetishism of small business is weird. Business shouldn't be conflated with culture or heritage.

Also, Loves is iconic to Hawaii, unlike the mainland with several different ****** bread companies, basically everyone who grew up in Hawaii knows Loves since it's local (AKA not frozen-and-shipped-on-a-boat-for-weeks bread)

This is what happens when you advocate for "Reformative Justice", when, instead, he could have been locked up for a looooong time with a tougher stance and focus on actual punishment.

Look at the criminals that are attacking Asians in California.

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-03-12/ex-con-charged-with-murder-of-75-year-old-asian-man-in-oakland

OAKLAND An ex-convict was charged with murder Thursday in the death of a 75-year-old Asian American man prosecutors say was shoved to the ground during a strong-arm robbery in Oakland.
Teaunte Bailey, 26, of Oakland, was charged with the death of Pak Ho, who suffered a brain injury in Tuesdays robbery and died Thursday.
Bailey also was charged in connection with another robbery, according to the Alameda County district attorneys office.
It wasnt immediately known whether Bailey had an attorney who could speak for him.
Ho was taking his morning walk near his Adams Point home when he was shoved to the ground, struck his head on the pavement and suffered brain damage, the district attorneys office said.
Bailey was arrested later that day after fleeing in a car, prosecutors said.
Bailey has several convictions for assault, burglary and parole violations, and at the time of the attack he was on probation following a conviction for another strong-arm robbery, authorities said.

The murder charge carries allegations of special circumstances, including crimes against elders.
Bailey also is charged with robbery and assault stemming from a Feb. 19 attack in Oakland during a break-in at a senior living apartment building where a 72-year-old man was robbed of his phone and other items, authorities said.
The deadly attack comes at a time of increasing assaults against Asian Americans. A woman accused of spitting on an Asian American man and yelling an ethnic slur as he dined outdoors in Silicon Valley was charged earlier this week with a misdemeanor hate crime and battery.
Oaklands Chinatown has been hit with a string of attacks and thefts in the past few months that have left the community on edge.

Or
https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/02/09/update-suspect-arrested-in-oakland-chinatown-elderly-assaults/
OAKLAND (CBS SF) A suspect has been arrested in a series of assaults against elderly victims in Oaklands Chinatown, new Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong announced Monday.
The suspect was identified as Yahya Muslim, 28. He was charged with assault, battery, elder abuse and a special allegation of offenses while out on bail, according to Alameda County Sheriffs Office.
The Alameda County District Attorneys Office said Muslim also has two prior felony assault convictions.
Just minutes after being sworn in as Oaklands new top cop, Armstrong appeared at a news conference in Chinatown to announce the arrest of Muslim for the assault of a 91-year old man caught on video. He is also accused of assaulting two other elderly individuals the same day.

Looking at this, it seems like cops ARE doing their job, and everyone else in the Justice System (Courts, prosecutors, parole board) are lazy ******* who should be fired and barred for negligence.

And this can be attributed to Democrats, thanks Democrats.

A bakery that opened in the 1850s is now closing its doors for good, as today marks the last day that Loves Bakery will be in business. The institution, which has been in existence since before the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, could not over overcome the COVID pandemic shutting down business and tourism, and with the second round of the PPP loan initially limited to small businesses and with no help from the State legislature, they finally folded under their financial obligations.

And for those saying legalizing marijuana caused no accidents while driving

https://www.denverpost.com/2017/08/25/colorado-marijuana-traffic-fatalities/

While alcohol is still the drug of choice, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation says 47% of drivers are testing positive for marijuana, followed by amphetamines and cocaine. The Colorado State Patrol says DUI arrests involving marijuana are up 48% in the last year.

According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, the number of marijuana impaired drivers involved in deadly crashes has risen every year between 2017 and 2019, the most recent years for which data is available.

Recreational cannabis use impairs driving performance in the absence of acute intoxication

Results
Overall, cannabis users demonstrated impaired driving relative to HC participants with increased accidents, speed, and lateral movement, and reduced rule-following. Interestingly, however, when cannabis users were divided into groups based on age of onset of regular cannabis use, significant driving impairment was detected and completely localized to those with early onset (onset before age 16) relative to the late onset group (onset 16 years old). Further, covariate analyses suggest that impulsivity had a significant impact on performance differences.
Conclusions
Chronic, heavy, recreational cannabis use was associated with worse driving performance in non-intoxicated drivers, and earlier onset of use was associated with greater impairment. These results may be related to other factors associated with early exposure such as increased impulsivity.
