Embedded in that post is a very important point…we need to reduce the fuel load. That is virtually impossible in some areas of the country because of the “environmentalists”
The homeless problem is by and large two things: a drug problem and a mental health problem.

Shit. Legislation for bubbas doesn’t do shit for city crime. That’s a black culture and liberal problem. Anti cop. Lifting bail. Lenient sentences. 150,000 blacks in the city will shoot more and kill more than all the people in West Virginia. Back out the black male demo you don’t have crime in cities. Go to county jail in a high crime city. Go sit through calling a confined docket. All black males. There are no background checks on the black market. 400 million guns already in circulation. Better than gun legislation have city amnesty day line they do for outstanding warrants. Show up with your gun get $$$. But it would take real money
Theft. Old straw purchases. Trade. Individual sales
No bitch. That’s these exes. And I was their supply!!! 😩
My daughter caught my ex wife on tinder. She was telling me about it last night walking through whole foods. I was in tears laughing. People thought something was wrong with me. I don’t have time to share now but will later. You will love it
I’m for background checks. Stiff regulation etc. the reality in cities struggling with violent crime is the guns are already in circulationIt goes deeper than that though.
If someone does go through a background check and it gets delayed longer then 3 days, the seller can then turn the gun over whether they have the results back or not. In 2020, there was over 300,000 background checks like this that guns were handed over that didn't get completed, just in the first 9 months.
That's how Dylan Roof, the Charleston shooter got his gun.
More People Are Buying Guns. Fewer People Are Getting Background Checks.
America’s gun background check system, designed to keep weapons out of the hands of people who might use them in crimes, has struggled to keep up with record fi…fivethirtyeight.com
Lithium batteries are flammable. There are a number of ways a fire can be ignited. Manufacturing defects are just one. Others are battery damage and shorts in the device. The more energy we cram into a small package the more it resembles a bomb. That’s just physics.
Do you carry a cell phone in your pocket?
Only when there is no visible smoke.
So are you brainwashed about the relative safety about lithium batteries too? Your junk is at risk every time that phone slides in your pocket.
No, not when they're the ones, especially in Indianapolis, dictating gun laws, or messing with funding for programs that help fund shelters. Not when they're ones defunding public schools, which in urban areas means schools that used to serve communities.
The Democrats are all hung up on acquiring guns. The pressing problem, directly related to the increase of street gun violence, is laws about the use of guns. Since the summer of George Floyd, the Democrats and progressives have been singularly focused on criminal justice leniency. No cash bail, defunding police, statutory and administrative measures restricting police law enforcement authority, reduction in felonies, no more stop and frisk, decriminalization of drugs and petty offenders, and more, all result in more youth not being held accountable when accountability matters, and more crime. This direction is deliberate and is 100%. Democrat policy.
Read up on the prosecutor mayor and cori bush in the most dangerous city in America and you’ll find your answer. Guns laws have zero to do with violent urban crime. Kids in gangs don’t need shelters.
Speaking of brainwashed.... didn't someone tell the CEO of Ford about the limited mileage range about EVs before he decided to base his company's future on EVs?
I give him credit for taking one for long a trip and writing honestly about his experience. I was pleasantly surprised with the candor he showed.Speaking of brainwashed.... didn't someone tell the CEO of Ford about the limited mileage range about EVs before he decided to base his company's future on EVs?
Reality can be a harsh mistress.
Ford CEO Admits ‘Reality Check’ When He Took Electric F-150 Truck on Road Trip

“Government as fixer combined with self-empowered media might just be relevant perspective.”Thread is a good topic.
Too many personal, non-responsive responses by The Usual Infects. The Cooler has again become The Cellar.
“Yo’ Mama” now outpaces the typical Cooler response. and yes, I hellpt.
For some “long history-look perspective“, see THIS (but sound-bite thinkers need not apply):
Gerald Ford and the 1970s
Historian H.W. Brands looked at Gerald Ford in the context of the 1970s - when he served as House minority leader, vice president, and then president. The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan, hosted this event.www.c-span.org
Shorter version - H.W. Brands (pretty good and entertaining historian) speaks about Gerald Ford from the perspective of the 1970’s when he was Speaker then President - “what was going on then to shape Ford, the world he governed in, and what happened before 1970‘s to shape and set that stage. Perspective. Long view. History, not partisanship.
It includes things relevant to this thread (except for the ankle biting idiocy by the Usual Infects), such as why and when and how the perspective on government moved from “bootstrap theory” to “government as the problem fixer.” Also some on how the polarization of the R’s and D’s began and how.
The extremes of both sides can pick his lecture apart - but it’s as good a “survey course” as you might get from some speaker trying to NOT be pure partisan asshole. He is slightly left of center but hey, he’s an academic.
I’ve done his stuff of Civil War, Texas, American West.

I was in Yellowstone in in 2003, 18 years after the big fire of 1988, which “reversed” the prior “let them burn out” policy. Since 1972, Yellowstone has averaged 24 fires a year, and 5400 acres burned a year. The 1988 fire burned 794,000 acres, a third of the park. Man-made or natural? Fuel or fool?
Yeah, now he can go to the government and make them standardize charging stations, like they should have done long ago.
Hmmm. Is there anything natural in Yellowstone Park that is hot enough to cause a fire?Thread is a good topic.

Decriminalization of drugs would be a big step to gutting violence.
I don't know what the laws in your state are, but you can't have stop and frisk in a state that has permit less carry laws.
Tell me you’re joking. Is OS your other handle?.
@CO. HoosierData from the National Transportation Safety Board, Bureau of Transportation Statistics and recalls.gov shows that overall, lumping EVs and hybrids together compared to ICE cars, more ICE cars caught fire than EVs; 0.3% for EVs and 1.05% for ICE cars.
Car fires-EVs vs. ICE cars
First off, let's talk about all those initials in the headline. EV stands for an electric vehicle. And ICE stands for internal combustion engine, at least in this case. An EV has no gasoline engine and gets its power from a large battery needing external power. Technically, that leaves out all...www.theloopnewspaper.com
For some species getting schorched in the fire does it. The ashes, a natural in organic fertilizer, recycle minerals to the soil. Too many fires are man made … the big burns from arson are the most saddening.
