  • Why is the Secretary of Transportation Begging Americans to Take More Road Trips?

  • Except in terms of speed, safety, convenience, and comfort.

    Great exercise, very green, and an experience though.

  • Maybe in Europe or any other country that has a good or decent passenger rail system.

    In America you can't reach a lot of the country by rail and so many things worth seeing aren't reasonably reach with a bike.

  • Absolutely, you can't just call them good and send them off into the population. A degree of continued support would be advisable even if they have transitioned into a "normal" state equal to the average person because homelessness has long-term psychological effects that can't be allowed to smoulder.

  • Yeah, having a distribution of "classes" within a communal housing makes the most sense.

    The issue of having a maladapted homeless person within proximity of "normal" people is that they may negatively affect others in meaningful ways. So an intermediary step from the streets to communal housing is necessary to act as a rehabilitation point to filter out the homeless that would actively harm the peace, safety, and security of everyone else. Without that intermediary step, the community will step up and "handle" the situation in a less than desirable manner. "So you are saying the guy that we have had various complaints about multiple times a month just decided to jump off the roof and nobody saw anything?" That sort of dynamic has played out throughout human history.

    So a degree of isolation and counseling is necessary and the duration would be highly dependent on the individual's needs.

  • Yes, slavery is illegal in America under the 13th amendment, which also allows for unpaid prison labor.

  • I don't disagree with you, but I feel a communal housing with lots of homeless people in close proximity would be deleterious to homeless rehabilitation as the worst examples would negatively effect the best examples in the same way that prison turns a normal person into a broken person that can manage existing outside of that system.

    You couldn't even separate the degrees of maladaptions and have productive rehabilitation because there would a point at which you create a oroboros class that would never be capable of rehabilitation in proximity to similar cases that would fester and grow until you need a larger capacity that never really makes progress.

    The same sort of thing happens on the streets now. The influence of the worse cases drag down others until you have a common population of bad cases that are decivilized until rehabilitation is almost impossible.

    A more separate and isolated rehabilitation program would allow for a greater ability for improvement in a vacuum devoid from the detrimental influence of worse or more of the same influence. Obviously that would be more costly and have greater logistical needs, but that is the cost of meaningful homeless rehabilitation.

  • Prison labor isn't free, they still get paid. They don't get paid a "fair" wage, but they do get paid to skirt slavery just barely enough.

    Also they cost taxpayers more to keep in prison than if they were abusing welfare and not working and someone else was paid a "fair" wage to do the same work prisoners do.

    It would be nice if they were paid a fair wage for their work and were rehabilitated so taxpayers didn't have to subsidize prisoner exploitation for as long, but that would be too "commie".

  • More than half of Americans - and 83% of Democrats - say ICE has gone ‘too far’ in arresting migrants: poll

    Jump

  • Well only 83% of Dems are critical of it. So 54% means a decent amount of Reps are critical, which is more than I would think.

    What do Americans have to worry about that Canadians dont?

    Jump

  • Starting a war, forgetting your gun somewhere and only having your spare one to work with, making the payment on your medical bills, remembering if the McRib is back, worrying that the exploited people who did all the things you don't feel like doing will be deported, and forgetting to tell the President "thank you" every day as a tribute to their brilliant leadership.

  • My appreciation for snarky, smart-mouthed, tomboys is starting to make sense.

  • My combat boots lasted 4-years. Is that reasonable given hard use?

    Jump

  • I can barely get a pair of combat boots to last a year, except for my RATs, best damn boots to kick shit in. I always blow out the sides or crack the sole where the toes flex as the sole wears slick.

    I wish they still made the RATs, I would buy two pairs.

    There is a joke about being able to fit one in, but I just can't make it work.

  • Sell consulting services. Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, what matters is that you're paid.

    Jump

  • It is all connections and a box checking for the board and/or CEO.

    The CEO can deflect bad outcomes on the consulting company for suggesting doing what the CEO had in mind to do, but didn't have the board's approval.

    Corporate consulting is such a giant fucking grift and they are responsible for the enshitification of so much.

    Why are there no employees to help you on the sales floor or at the register? The CEO wanted to hit a performance metric to maximize their bonus and brought in a consulting company to advise. The consulting company looked for low-hanging fruit, which is cutting costs in the form of payroll. The CEO dips when there is no meat left on the bone. The next CEO hires a consulting company to maximize the bonus and then you get fake sales to mask a following price increase. CEO dips and the next CEO's consultants gives the consumer a rewards program to harvest data to sell and drive sales through psychological manipulation(See Kohl's cash).

    Corporate consultants are horrible people with business degrees looking to harvest marrow from a stripped corpse.

  • WWIII when?

  • It would have to be China or NATO.

  • Realistically the B-2 will be used for 10-15 more years before the B-21 is ready to go. Obviously a conflict with a peer force would accelerate that timeline.

  • They get used often, as part of training. All 19(there are 21, q have about 1,000 missions a year. They have been used in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen. They are very outdated in stealth tech and can only safely be used against opponents that lack modern-ish radar.

    They are the only plane that can use the GBU-57A bunker buster.

  • What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?

    Jump

  • They don't need a vaccine to depopulate when heart disease(695k/y), car accidents(40k/y), overdoses(82k/y), abortion(1m/y), and suicide(49k/y) kill far more people than the vaccine could possibly be linked to the COVID vaccines(8k in total).

    Don't at me for including abortion, I support abortion access and want it to be a free service, but we are talking about depopulation means and abortion is a means to depopulate.
