Christopher Jordan Ganzel, 24, of an apartment on the 20th block of Poplar Street, was charged Aug. 21 with felony theft by unlawful taking, felony receiving stolen property and misdemeanor unauthorized use of a car, according to court documents.
Felony theft and felony receiving shouldn’t be allowed. It’s one theft that got three charges, but it’s these two in concert that really rub me the wrong way. This is why innocent people plead out.
In principle, I get the idea: that you can’t have someone else steal something for you and then get off the hook because you weren’t the one who stole it. That said, I feel like the laws should be written in a way that precludes someone being charged with both for the same offense, or in a way that delegates the fault such that “taking” and “receiving” add up to the consequences of a single theft charge.
Of course, the US is a Prison State so it’s unlikely one wasn’t added simply to pad out sentence lengths or leverage plea deals.
If you tried to introduce legislation to correct the problem you’d have DAs coming out of the woodwork saying how this would make it impossible to secure plea deals and that would be terrible because they already have too many cases to prosecute. The whole thing would be dead on arrival as a result.
To be fair, that’s pretty much every American. They’re all blood thirsty monsters. Just watch them come to tell me I’m a Nazi for not supporting a second holocaust lmfao
This would be the same as saying pretty much all Palestinians are bloodthirsty monsters who support Hamas, or pretty much all Israelis are bloodthirsty monsters who support the eradication of Palestine. Do you not see that? Do you really think your statement is reasonable or considered, or are you just trolling?
Everythings genocide with you ppl. Get a clue and realize America is extremely pro Israel. You’re in the cast minority and nothing will change no matter how hard you demonize Democrats you’re just going to end up with trump who’ll be worse.
Yes. Hell yeah. I hate how alcohol gets pushed as a “cool” thing to do when it’s so destructive. If anything, getting wasted should be looked down on, not celebrated.
It always has been, whenever marketing isn’t involved. Hell, for example: not only does the US have nearly every single major holiday now orbit drinking as a core element, but long-standing racist tropes do too. It’s a whole thing, this “bread & circuses” they’ve got us plebs distracted by…
I’ll buy the flu and demand angle when I see the egg suppliers post losses.
So you’re rejecting verifiable and well known facts to appease your feelings? Cool.
This is called inflation. Every company ever has done this. Prices are increased explicitly to reduce demand. If they were to lower the prices and take a loss when there’s already no supply, they’d go out of business. Every company adjusts the price of their goods based on demand.
If you’re not happy about it, don’t buy the product. Or, buy products that are already priced at the value they offer. I’ve been paying over $5 for eggs for over ten years. The prices have not changed. Paying a dollar for a dozen eggs is absolutely ridiculous. Finding out that people were pissed because an egg was costing in excess of a dime or two is something I’m still struggling to come to terms with.
If you want to go on about corporate greed in agriculture, you should be looking at the beef and pork producers. The entire industry is a literal organized crime ring run by four companies using a shared database of sales and profits to push prices up in unison.
August egg sales were up more than 5% compared to 2023, and producers sold 237 million eggs in the most recent four-week period. “We haven’t seen that number since the first year of COVID,” he said, when sales soared as consumers stocked up on staples including eggs and toilet paper.
Are these those verifiable and well known facts to appease your feelings? Cool.
Kinda. That’s an additional problem caused by resellers. This topic is about farmers and whole sale prices and consumer demand. What you’ve linked to is not inflation but corporate greed.
“On milk and eggs, retail inflation has been significantly higher than cost inflation,” Groff wrote.
You don’t need even near the amount of male hatchlings that get produced for reproductive purposes. The vast majority of male chicks on egg farms get ground up.
Also, from an animal rights standpoint, “hey we don’t kill all of them, we need some males in order to subjugate their offspring to cruel conditions!” is more of an argument against egg farming than for it.
It’s why I have my own chickens. When they don’t lay eggs, we let them live until they die or get sick. Fun fact: a chicken can eat up to 80 ticks an hour! And their poop is excellent manure for apples and pears.
obviously yes, did you not know that? they also sear their beaks off with hot metal to keep them from pecking each other in their horrifically cramped conditions, the egg industry is insanely cruel.
It’s a 3 trick pony - red, white and rosé… sure you could probably differentiate $10 wine with $250 wine with the latter generally tasting better, but the baseline range of flavours is the same. Beer is great since you can drink a lot and get a milder buzz, whiskey and spirits get you drunk more instantly, where wine is an in-between that isn’t very appealing. Beer/Cider/Seltzer/Hard Soda types of drinks and Spirits have a great range of flavours in comparison to wine too.
If wineries and breweries want people drinking more, they have to invest in trains (lol), so that they can serve their product on them and we won’t have to worry about drunk drivers.
You are completely wrong about it being a 3 trick pony. There is tons of variety in wine beyond the color. But I’m not actually here to argue that because I completely agree with your last point. The thing that most often keeps me from drinking is the need to drive home at the end of the night. I don’t want to kill someone and I didn’t want to lose my job (I drive for work) because I went out to drink. So I drink at home which is not a healthy way to drink. So I don’t drink regularly.
If I didn’t have to drive to work I’d walk more which would put me on the ground, passing more bars and restaurants with the option to pop in for a pint and a bite to eat. Then hop on a tram or underground or light rail and head home full and happy. But we can’t have nice things like that in the US because oil rules or politics.
Yeah it’s not like I hate wine either, and characterizing as 3 types I agree is a massive oversimplification. It’s just it has fewer elements that interest me to go out of my way for it compared to craft beer and spirits.
Durov gets arrested in france and suddenly the telegram slander kicks into high gear. It gets a hit piece every once in a while for sure, but the last few days have been on a different level.
You know who else uses telegram? My family, to send vacation pics to each other.
You know what other technology bad guys use? Email.
As an extremely avid wine drinker (and beer and cocktails), I’m good with this. That shit is too expensive. I just got back from tasting in Burgundy, and the range of prices is wild. One bottle from a specific vineyard costs literally $40,000, but a bottle from grapes 15 feet away costs $250. A bottle from a different producer from the exact same vineyard as the $250 bottle might charge $1000.
Can I tell the difference between a $50 bottle and a $250 bottle? Usually. But is it WORTH the difference? Usually not (but sometimes it is). There’s no chance I could tell enough of a difference between a $250 bottle and a $1000 bottle to make it worth it, regardless of me being unable to afford the more expensive one. I was actually afraid I was going to spoil myself from cheaper wine with this trip to Burgundy, but I ended up finding I’m happy with the wines I can afford and have easy access to.
Anyway, I’d be happy for the price of wine to come down.
