Midwesterner here. Is this because of bad construction mixed with climate change causing stronger storms? I’ve been seeing much lower quality new construction up here and I’m curious if houses are just becoming total losses during storms instead of repairable.
They mention construction costs are partially to blame but I can’t believe that and shareholders are the only thing boosting it by that much.
Conservatives should use their own hospitals and leave the normal people alone.
Conservatism is a plague of grotesque, deadly behavior that is long overdue for a cure. Let them go to their own weird, anti-science doctors and stay the fuck out of our ER’s.
$10M since 2017, that sounds like chump change in terms of government spending.
And btw, what’s wrong with it? If you have been posting inflammatory shit about the country you are trying to immograte to, shouldn’t that be considered a red flag? Would you like a human to review these posts instead, an even harder black box to critique?
Free speech does not mean that one’s speech won’t draw attention. And looking at social media has been something which has been considered in the wake of attacks. It doesn’t seem to crazy to say, “if you’re applying for a visa to enter the US and your social media is full of “Death to America” or the like, maybe you shouldn’t get a visa”. Or, imagine some right-wing nut-job going off about how liberal teachers are brainwashing children and they should all be gunned down. That sort of thing probably should prompt a bit of scrutiny.
It’s a tough balancing act. We ask the DHS and it’s subsidiaries to detect and prevent attacks on US soil. And that’s an important goal and they need to be able to look critically and people entering the US to do that job. At the same time, it’s very easy for this sort of thing to fall into racism and ignore actual warning signs. Personally, I see it as less of a problem that they DHS et. al. are looking into social media and would worry more about the lack of transparency and oversight. Any such system needs a very strong set of policies and procedures on how investigations are started, conducted and determinations made. All those records need to then be handed off to a different agency, outside the chain of command of the DHS for review and adverse actions, if there is abuse. And I’d place a very large bet on that last bit not happening.
Right wing partisans in the government refuse to enforce rule of law when their own guys warrant intervention by law enforcement so your argument(s) fails the instant it makes contact with reality. You said we should scrutinize but they already refused to do it. Why is more money and more authority going to change that? It won’t, and even if it did, it’s unconstitutional.
You mean they ruled in favor of the side that won’t force them to give him his job back and let him sue the school for millions? Even if he did it MSU overreacted and fired him without letting him defend himself.
