There is nothing illegal about quid pro quo, that is how every transaction in business and politics works.

I could also spot the TJ kids a mile away. It was funny how to ask them if they went to TJ before they told you and be right. Insanely smart, like they were destined to be a MIT/Stanford professor smart. What a shame to destroy a school that produced such talent.

Joe was just wondering if that was just a fart or if he needs to change the depends.

There was no fraud. The government simply didn’t tell the whole story and let people fill in the gaps and believe that their power was being used reasonably. The government shouldn’t have this kind of power in the first place. In addition, we can’t let evil people take control of these powerful offices.

There are tons of completely legal things the government can do with only elections as recourse. The government could not hire police, that isn’t illegal. The government can also require you to have permits to do construction and make them really obnoxious to obtain. Doing their job poorly and not openly calling attention to their faults isn’t a crime. The question is, do we want to give other people that kind of power over us where they can legally fuck us over?

The problem is they are likely legally okay to do this. We gave the government the power and then elected evil power hungry people into the positions that are allowed too much power.

The affordable areas where the slaves to elite wealthy people get power outages. Places with $3m+ houses don’t get power cut unless you’re talking about huge mansions in remote areas that are already equipped to be off-grid.

The California way was moving to a place where you were free to do as you wish. It never was about overbearing government control until the past few decades.

Homeless every couple of blocks? You clearly haven’t driven through several blocks of tent cities or gone on a bike trail lined with tents. Homeless every couple of blocks sounds like a Midwest city, not SF.

I don’t think they did anything illegal here. This is why delegation of power is an extremely important issue. The power you decide to delegate then makes elections important for exercising that power wisely. Many conservatives don’t trust that power to be used wisely and would rather hold on to it themselves.

Cancer is often a permanent wound. Chemo is nasty stuff and frequently leaves you with permanent side effects.

Depends on how everyone there lives. If your country had the hygiene practices of India or lived with 20 illegals packed in a house that might have been higher. NYC is dirty and crowded as hell.

What do you think of the refrigerator body trucks in NYC, mass graves for New York, videos of body bags stacked in South American hospitals, or mass graves in Iran? That isn’t a normal year flu, right?

I think we are getting a political spin here by forcing business to stay closed instead of reopening with precautions. Some people here are willing to ruin the economy because it makes their socialist ideology sound better to more people.

This is why excess deaths is the important number to look at.

The rest of the world also locked down. The difference is that many other countries figured out how to reopen safely. Germany is a country full of rule followers with great hygiene practices and has few problems versus Italy and Spain.

You need to look at excess deaths. Excess deaths are above 6% of 200k but below 200k.

Many people who die don’t haven’t a single thing that caused death. I know a lung doc who says her smoker patients die more often from respiratory complications after surgeries that require a vent. What caused their deaths? A little from column A and a little from column B.

The sister of someone I know, she was a climbing instructor and died of it. Very fit and under 40.

Professional acquaintance of an under 45 man who ran multiple marathons per year died of it.

Coworker who was under 50s and maybe 250lbs died in the NYC surge.

Cousin of someone I know in their 30s had multiple issues from coronavirus clots, several organs damaged.

Two young children in a church with diabetes ended up on ventilations and 1 on ECMO. They didn’t die, but the horrors they endured are terrifying.

If we had a literal red white and blue Trump train that rolled from Seattle to San Diego we could get so much more material.

My understanding is that many fires in Brazil are related to clearing land for agriculture. Libtards love telling others what to do with land they own. It was fine for us to tame wilderness, but other countries be damned if they want to do the same.

It could be, but the data is noisy because the number of acres burned is random and perceptions are literally based on what direction the wind blows. The increased acreage burning in California is primarily driven by that big lightning storm they had.
