'Get out of my house!' Video shows 98-year-old mother of Kansas newspaper publisher upset amid raid (apnews.com)

Video released by the newspaper Monday shows Joan Meyer shouting at the six officers inside the Marion, Kansas, home she shared with her son, Marion County Record Editor and Publisher Eric Meyer. Standing with the aid of a walker and dressed in a long robe or gown and slippers, she seems visibly upset....

I don’t imagine they are in a hurry to say anything.

Looking for a new car under $20,000? Good luck. Your choice has dwindled to just one vehicle (apnews.com)

At a time when Americans increasingly want pricey SUVs and trucks rather than small cars, the Mirage remains the lone new vehicle whose average sale price is under 20 grand — a figure that once marked a kind of unofficial threshold of affordability. With prices — new and used — having soared since the pandemic, $20,000 is...

I hate to tell you, but you’re throwing money away if you’re buying a new car.

30mag ,

Yes, I bought a used Chevrolet Malibu two summers ago.

30mag ,

More people buying used cars instead of new cars does not benefit me, so I’m not happy about advertising it as a good way to spend less money. Maybe “hate” was a little too strong of a word to use.

30mag ,

I mean, “I hate to break it to you” is an idiom. I probably use idioms too much without really giving them any thought.

30mag ,

I’m glad you had fun.

I’m not sure how a trillionaire could remove the moon

If they found an asteroid they liked, they might try to alter its orbit to put it on a collision course with the moon in order to make it more convenient to mine. Don’t underestimate how stupid people can be.

Yes, they are fighting this, but waging a war? That’s a bit dramatic, isn’t it?

Out of those 2021 fatalities, 64.3% were homicides, 29.9% were suicides and 3.5% resulted from unintentional injury, according to the analysis.

The burden of gun homicides among children has disproportionately affected communities of color.

Black children accounted for 67.3% of gun-related homicides, with a nearly twofold death rate increase from 2020. White children accounted for 78.4% of gun-related suicides.

Is this random and unexplainable? Is there a cause?

30mag ,

From 2018 to 2021, there was a nearly 42% increase in the rate of children killed by guns, according to the analysis.

Do we know why?

30mag ,

Thank you for your deeply insightful analysis of the situation.

30mag ,

Thank you for your reply. It seems to me that gangs are rarely mentioned in the news these days. I need do some research and get a grasp on the magnitude of the problem.

They have employment rules, but I believe as they employee your main recourse would be to sue them.

No, you would file a complaint with the Department of Labor. www.worker.gov/actions-whd-claim/

They don’t have a government entity like Employment New Zealand to hold the employer to account on the employee’s behalf.

You might do a little more research next time. en.wikipedia.org/…/United_States_Department_of_La…

Premeditation is only required for first-degree murder.

I agree that it depends on the jurisdiction, but manslaughter is usually unintentionally killing someone. Killing someone intentionally without having planned it is usually still murder.

Even if you can remove the windshield (ie: Jeep Wranglers) if you are caught on the road with it down, you are gonna get a ticket.

Except for motorcycles, right?

What federal regulation requires a vehicle to have a windshield?

30mag ,

You can drive with a cracked windshield. I don’t think you know what you’re talk about.

49 CFR 393.60©

© Windshield condition. With the exception of the conditions listed in paragraphs ©(1), ©(2), and ©(3) of this section, each windshield shall be free of discoloration or damage in the area extending upward from the height of the top of the steering wheel (excluding a 51 mm (2 inch) border at the top of the windshield) and extending from a 25 mm (1 inch) border at each side of the windshield or windshield panel. Exceptions:

(1) Coloring or tinting which meets the requirements of paragraph (d) of this section;

(2) Any crack that is not intersected by any other cracks;

(3) Any damaged area which can be covered by a disc 19 mm (3⁄4 inch) in diameter if not closer than 76 mm (3 inches) to any other similarly damaged area.

As to the windshield question. I have gotten multiple tickets for it, in my younger years when I would muck around in my shitty jeep wrangler.

It must be a state law, not federal. I’ve never got a ticket for riding around with the windshield down in my CJ-7. Have a good day.

  1. I don’t think they did.
  2. They would have been correct as far as Germany not having a civil war. However, it was because too few opposed the Nazis, not because the country did not contain enough “psychopaths”.

How is former president of the US Donald Trump still free when a lot of the accomplices in things he has been indicted for are already in jail and or prison except him?

I am asking here because all the political subs don’t allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

The more you learn about US politics, the less sense it makes.

30mag ,

this former president is nothing short of a cult leader with millions of unshakable followers, many of whom are armed to the teeth and ready to burn this country to the ground for him

They didn’t show up for the last coup, and I don’t think he’s gonna have another one.

there’s a pump involved somewhere in the process

You could have water run out of one bucket into another. Just swap the buckets when the upper one is empty. It functions as a clock also if you keep track of how many times you swap the buckets.

Exactly. Typically, this is if you only order one thing. If you each order an entree, they usually won’t charge you for extra plates.

You are almost correct. But Putin doesn’t want Russia to be USSR,

He wants rule the countries that used to be part of the USSR. He wants them to be part of Russia. He wants Russia to be a serious military threat to the rest of the planet like the USSR was.

he wants to be in power entire his life and after death.

Putin wants to achieve what Stalin did and surpass him in terms of having a stranglehold on power in Russia.

People who want Russia to be USSR do it not because they want to be “powerful and feared” but because in USSR there was decent healthcare outside of Moscow

In some places. In other places they tested nuclear bombs in your backyard, and you were totally fucked. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semipalatinsk_Test_Site#Hea…

I did not mean that Putin wants the standard of living in Russia to be like it was under the USSR. I meant that Putin wants Russia to have the presence that the USSR had on the international stage and corresponding respect.

You are telling me how he wants to be perceived, not who he is

Presumably, you already know who he is.

The only things he competing in with Stalin: cult of personality and political assasinations.

They explain exactly what the site was created for, though the post was not present 10 months ago. I’m not sure if I know enough about economics to understand whether they believe what Kochevnik81 was guessing they believe, that the getting off the good standard was bad for the economy.

wtf1971.com/…/reader-qa-why-did-you-create-wtfhap…

What drove you to create the site? What has been the most surprising outcome?

The inspiration for creating the website was born out of pragmatism. That is to say, the data was collected with the a priori assumption that abandoning the Bretton Woods agreement lent an unprecedented and unaccountable agency to nation states (particularly the United States thanks to the US dollar’s position as a global reserve currency) in their ability to expand money and credit.

The Austrian position upon which our a priori assumptions are based is as follows:

  1. That expansion of money and credit sends artificial signals to the market which breed malinvestment leading to an ultimate deflationary credit & money contraction when the malinvestment liquidates(Austrian business cycle theory).
  1. Nation States (and particularly the United States) have an unfair advantage over capital markets in their ability to unilaterally capture seigniorage through the issue of new currency while simultaneously debasing the real value of their debt and liabilities as the nominal supply of money increases.
  1. Point 2 leads to a top down redistribution of productive capital accumulated by private industry to the public sector which is often redirected to frivolous and/or unprofitable ventures.

The pragmatic usefulness of the website (for me personally) was merely having the data all in one place where I could simply refer a person to the data to quickly and easily demonstrate the many downstream effects of fiscal and monetary expansion (as based on the Austrian positions I outlined above).

The idea to turn it into a meme rather than a financial blog (or something of that kind) was born out of a desire to foster a reaction of socratic self discovery in the viewer. It is far more important to me that the viewer walk away with the right question rather than with what I believe is the right answer…What the F*** happened in 1971?
