One of them, wearing an American flag bandana over his face, pointed an assault rifle at the face of a friend of mine, a well-known Mac alum. From 3 feet away, at a widely reported St. Paul protest.

We need to find common ground, apparently.

Lol. As a Mac alum from long back, I can confirm this happened a lot. Unfortunately it was mostly humanities folks afraid of math and science. So there were "special" math and science classes designed to meet the graduation reqs. As a geology major with a lot of math classes, nothing brought my gpa down like intro to Anthropology/Old Testament/Philosophy/Econ101/English Lit/Graphic Arts-Printmaking, etc., but I wouldn't have missed those.

Well, Kerr County spent years refusing to spend money sent to them by the Biden administration for flood warnings and communications.
This thread is disturbing.

And apologies if this was done already!

American agriculture's (and construction, and hospitality industry) cynical reliance on undocumented workers they can, and do, treat as slave labor, is why we are where we are.
Anybody crying about losing their workers is part of this system.
Our broken immigration system is broken for a reason, namely to fuel the neo-slavery that greedy and lazy employers use to control labor.
It isn't just America either.

I really respect your perspective and commentary on this. I wrote a long thread on machine learning and modelling and would appreciate being educated by your feedback.

But they do pay for it. With investment capital. A company saying " we are going to hire 100,000 employees at an annual cost of $2B will get HAMMERED. A company bragging they will replace 100,000 employees at an annual cost of $20B gets showered with venture capital and billions o stock increase.

@Infoseepage
You are a liar. That never happened. You know now and knew then, to an absolute fact, that Biden didn't support Israeli war crimes and Harris would be even less inclined to excuse Israel's actions.
I blame you personally, and people like you, for this, for all of this. You personally.

@FinchHaven @heidilifeldman
And i have said it before but will beat the dead horse again:
Absolutely nothing Biden did would have been even a temporary roadblock if Trump was elected. He has pardoned every convicted pal or follower. He has appointed many of them to positions of power. He ignores laws, ignores ethics, treaties, everything. Arewe supposed to criticize Biden for this now?
Really?
What a sad joke.
