No one said ignore mass shootings.

Just gun control in areas it's unpopular.

There are other methods of attacking the problem than gun control. They won't be as effective, but they will be more tolerated by the average American voter.

Take the Florida governorship. DeSantis won out by the skin of his teeth the first go around.

The reason Andrew Gilliam lost was he kept going on about bringing an assault weapons ban to Florida. Such a ban would have never made it though the legislature, so it was an empty promise on top of an unpopular one.

So he shot himself in the foot for no gain and we have been stuck with pudding fingers ever since

Democrats need to understand to pick their battles and read the room.

I'll tell you that it's super nice to be able to watch things with other people in the car while you are all waiting on the car to charge.

Also, you don't have to hold a phone and the screen is better.

Emigration is to leave, I think you mean immigration.

Trump won't be able to withdraw from NATO; Congress is currently revoking the Presidents ability to unilaterally leave the alliance specifically in case Trump or another like him is elected.

Leaving NATO will now require an act of Congress, which makes it much more difficult for any president to do so.

S2 was ordered before all of S1 even aired.

Then why are you bothering at all?

Like, if you don't think anyone is going to believe anything you say, why are you bothering to debate?

I mean, if you are here making a claim then it's your responsibility to come up with evidence to support it.

Telling someone to go research your claim is bad Internet etiquette.

If you don't feel like doing that, fine, then just don't engage.

I'm not giving up mobile deposit.

Leave my house? Duck that.

The crux is here.

Then I'll do something else that pays more.

What separates skilled from unskilled labor is that the unskilled labor force have no skills to do something else that pays more.

While I support the idea that every job should pay a living wage, the idea that there shouldn't be a difference in pay based on the rarity of the skillset of the employee of question just isn't workable in am open market society.

Holy shit, boingboing.net?

That's a site I haven't heard of in a long time.

It was one of the first websites I remember regularly visiting in the 90s, and looks like they haven't changed much since.

That's cool.

To what end are we bringing it up though?

Is there a point, or is the only point to degrade the actor in some way?

I feel this is one of those situations where I can say 'You aren't wrong, but you're an asshole' if you are bringing it up without a greater reason.

I don't think the dude would be ragged on for taking advantage of the opportunity afforded to him.
