nostr:npub1ra4slsnrffxmrgfjs0xpq9dz9uwyxkn6qqtxjdp488lc3u0c58psa6v8yf absolutely it's a cathartic outlet as well as being copaganda, that's why it persists. It's a psychologically complex mechanism. We're at war for our minds daily and very few of us realize it.
People that ask about "crime" when they visit a city puzzle the hell out of me. I was talking to a woman visiting from St. Louis and she asked about the crime here. Internally I cackled. What I said aloud was, Well, there's crime everywhere, right? I'm not sure how to answer that.
People love Law and Order, CSI, NCIS and all of there many, many spin offs. It's fascinating, sort of.
There have been 3 or 4 cops shows on TV at all times since at least the 80s.
nostr:npub1dfp9nns0ca8xz0y5dppmzwztleggqd0exqel348prqmar7zclejs8hzhud Hey...uh. Go away? Nothing I said was directed at you and yet you took the time to respond, snarkily, to a generally benign post.
Go drink some water and relax.
Hearings about supposedly mishandled classified documents by the Biden admin a few months before the election.
Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
Very tired of the contentious and combat oriented politics here. It's exhausting.
Re: Uvalde. I just couldn't see myself as a cop there and just standing there. Go get those GD kids. What's wrong with you? If you're scared what do you think those little ones are feeling?
American people: We need higher wages and affordable housing.
Congress and Big Business: We hear you. We're forming committees and dialoguing about it right now. As we speak.
American people: ...Ok...but...
C and BB: HUGE COMMITTEES. BIGGEST DIALOGUES.

nostr:npub1jw3grq56xvl3wvt46wzjag68k3d9cac3xejrvmypf0uqd5ku339q2kh3v8 Exactly. I've been telling people that AFK. It was fight for 15 ten of fifteen years ago. It's a battle for 25-30 now.
We sacrifice EVERYTHING to the money God in America. Everything.
All hail.
After all of the fight for 15 stuff and all the reports and anger...the federal minimum wage is still 7.25/hour.
Now, in my mind, that suggests that business interests in America understand that they need to pay their employees more and still refuse to do so because no one is making them.
Please, think about that for a moment.
America seems to be in a state of convergent crises. From cost of living to the fate of liberal democracy and the puzzling public officials response to an ongoing pandemic...something wicked this way comes.
And all of the "leaders" with the authority to makes positive moves for the American people keep telling us that thee is no crisis.
Everything is ok.
I still don't understand how every cop in Uvalde wasn't fired. It's just...and they keep filing reports stating that the police force more or less completely failed.
Nooooooo.
There is a man on my TV claiming to be Tony Hawk but this man is an old and Tony Hawk is perpetually 32.

nostr:npub1n74h5r8svjc59npj52lnfl38xjgw6wl3ve29h6hgd02x8umu9qcquuq9yk of course there are outliers and of course if your dad isn't rich, I'm obviously not talking to or about you. So why pipe up and express that? To show that everyone who calls himself a CEO isn't Musk?
