That’s interesting and all but many Spanish speaking people have had family on this side of the border since California was a Mexican territory.
- Comment on Now that's an interesting question 4 days ago:
For reference, San Diego and Tijuana back right up to each other and have one of the busiest border crossings in the country.
You’re going to hear Spanish there.

You don’t make faces at them? If it gets out of hand you could always hold up a sign that says, “gEt GoOd sCrUb!”
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 1 week ago:
There are. I’ve been to a few. They don’t get covered by the media.

I’ll just be over here checking into an assisted living home. Don’t mind me.

What will people do there? The same thing people have done for 10,000 years. Alcohol, sex, and games.

That’s not how human behavior works…
Someone thinks they’re very clever and they aren’t.

My mom forgot about the dark alley part though so it was public.
Yeah that’s true but the English language is known for stealing words.

You forgot the dark alley and truncheon…

Just the number? The Aryan Soldier part is fine? Dude there’s no redeeming part of that name. It translates as IamANaziIAmANazi.
- Comment on Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural 1 week ago:
The guy lives and committed his crime on the other side of the ocean in a context which does not exist in this country.
The word “tenement” has a negative connotation specifically because of the UK’s treatment of the working poor. The Grenfell Tower was only 8 years ago. You guys might not have the health insurance issue we have but you certainly have the “Paradise class killing and causing suffering for monetary gain” problem that is the root cause of both issues.
- Comment on rule 2 weeks ago:
rule34 from “Five Nights at Freddie’s”
No thank you, I mean thank you for looking that up that but, no thanks. That sentence should not exist, even if it does prove Rule 34.

Oh damn looks like I got the Two week flu. The phone doctor said the only cure is foreign beach air. Don’t worry though, I’m hating every minute of it and I’ll be back just as soon as I’m well again.
- Comment on I'll give 100% when I work for a co-op that is equally owned by all the workers. 2 weeks ago:
Promotion? You mean the guy who gets paid worse than hourly because they’re expected to do unlimited overtime on their salary? Haha no thanks.
- Comment on I'll give 100% when I work for a co-op that is equally owned by all the workers. 2 weeks ago:
I always give 100 percent of what I get paid. Minimum wage equals minimum effort.

annnnd the cat is upsidedown. It will now wait until you are gone or asleep to do the exact same thing.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 3 weeks ago:
I agree with the sentiment but to put some numbers into perspective we spend about 850 Billion a year on K-12 education. The US military budget is about 850 Billion. Now I would fully support switching about 200 Billion of that and throwing at the most underfunded schools in the country. Another source would be police budgets. Police are massively overfunded and take most of a local region’s money. So we could easily grab some of that funding too.
Generally wealth transfer taxes should be higher though, so buying houses (especially second and third houses or out of state houses), buying vehicles over the “budget” category (ballpark 35K these days?), any boat that’s not a primary residence or a 10 foot fishing boat, etc etc… This idea that anything other than income tax should affect everyone equally is pretty ridiculous, as is the idea that the only way to tax wealth is to tax stocks.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 3 weeks ago:
I’m not going to “finely enumerate and spell out the letter of the law in hundreds of variations” for you.
Income and wealth taxes also have hundreds of variations and fine tunings. Saying I have to invent a whole new system on my own right here and now or else I’m not serious is not serious.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 3 weeks ago:
It’s as fine tuned a proposal as, “tax property”.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 3 weeks ago:
Have the rich actually pay taxes. Use that.
- Comment on *record scratch* 3 weeks ago:
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 3 weeks ago:
We could also just pay for education differently.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 3 weeks ago:
He gets to claim he can ignore them. Laws take time to be enforced. Whether he can ignore them or not is up to a bunch of stuff, the courts, congress, the leaders around him, etc. We’re just now starting to come into any kind of possibility for real pushback with SCOTUS ruling some USAID payments still have to be made.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 3 weeks ago:
He doesn’t get to make laws. Protesting is as legal today as it was yesterday.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 3 weeks ago:
In one specific economic theory.
I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m pointing out that it’s a whole debate.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 3 weeks ago:
It’s a real theory. From what I understand though the shredder is a thought experiment, not meant to be taken seriously. They do acknowledge that you have to receive money to spend money. they just think of it like a balancing act instead of a 1 to 1 relationship.

Is the President trying to tell private institutions who they can do business with?
Why I never!

Here’s the ADA government page. For Canada the only government page I can find is British Columbia which states you can train your own dog and after some paperwork do a test for the trained behaviors and public obedience.
At no point is a credentialed trainer a requirement unless you’re thinking about a different country.
