I'm arguing that they are WASTING money. That's what I wrote. Do you not understand what that means? They're spending 800k per unit to address homeless, and it's taking years for that to even happen: https://reason.com/2022/02/25/audit-l-a-spending-as-much-as-837000-per-unit-of-housing-for-homeless/ Meanwhile, word has gotten out that LA is doing this crap so MORE homeless are heading there looking for a handout. It's not addressing the problem. Bring down the cost of housing and work on creating more jobs so the unemployed homeless can earn some money to pay for housing. That's how you address it. Not WASTING money on apartments at 800k. Did we not learn anything from the projects we put black people in 50 years ago?

Except it doesn't. HTH.

You lucky Californians you: - CARB just passed new rules that will increase gas prices as much as 65 cents a gallon. - Los Angeles is increasing their sales tax by a quarter cent to address homelessness. This is despite increasing the sales tax a quarter cent back in 2017 for the same reason and seeing homelessness INCREASE to almost double. IOW, they're just wasting money but increasing taxes. REJOICE!!!!!

Gee, we've NEVER had a discussion about minimum wage before, have we Tim? Why do you feel compelled to start the same threads every couple of years? I mean, the arguments are there and you won't agree with those opposing minimum wage any more than you did 3 years ago when we had this discussion at FBG's, so what's the purpose?

Multiple times. He sounds intelligent and articulate. Have you heard Tampon Tim speak?

@OldMaid but that's been well documented. Seems most of the libs have gone MIA though.

Squistion spends all day browsing Twitter. When Trump first bought Twitter and put a limit on how many tweets you could read in a day for free, something thousands of tweets, Squissy went apesh*t saying some of us read a lot of tweets. It's basically his life, other than pigeons.

He hates the rest of us too.

There is no proof that Donald Trump's hair ran off to seek a better life!!!! It was fact checked and found to be false!!!! Quit spreading unsubstantiated rumors!!!!

I WANT an OOMPA LOOMPA, and I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!

Aren't you an attorney? Regardless, I'm sure our resident SC justice @IGotWorms will be here to enlighten us with his extensive legal knowledge any time now.

This is in the vein of my first post in this thread but, alas, Jerry did not think it worthy of inclusion as a concern

Squisiton would use it as more evidence that the SCOTUS needs to give the alphabet.people their long overdue rights.

Bobby Allison passed away today. R.I.P.

California doesn't pay taxes. United States citizens pay taxes. HTH.

They rejected both Welcher.

Yeah, but unlike Kamalatoe, Trump has standards.

No F'ing way. We already have that one DEI SC justice who doesn't even know what a woman is. Two GOP justices are likely to retire during Trump's term. Would be great for him to get to nominate three more justices that are going to be there for most of the rest of my life and ensure a conservative SC.

There is a faction in the Dem party that wants to try to force Sonia Sontamayor out of the SCOTUS: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sotomayor-supreme-court-trump/ She has health issues and they're concerned about another Ginsburg situation that allows Trump to appoint her replacement. So, the idea is she retires and before Trump is inaugurated Biden appoints Sontamayor's replacement and gets it confirmed. The timeline is doable. Trump did it quicker with Amy Coney Barrett: https://www.newsweek.com/amy-coney-barrett-confirmation-timeline-supreme-court-nomination-senate-hearings-votes-1538320

And she's fired: https://twitter.com/FEMA_Deanne/status/1855322116960170093?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

There is a difference between accountability and retribution. If these people broke laws they should be held accountable. They like to think that if they keep it all in the swamp they can hide the evidence. But the evidence is there and now someone outside the swamp has won and knows the lengths the swamp will go to to protect it's secrets/wrongdoings.

I think my favorite excuse is that POC are racist and misogynistic.

I don't know the percentages but I suspect this may not be true. She's been making records since around 2006. If her early swifties were in their teens at that time she's got a strong following of people in their 20's and 30's. Do you have any data to support this assertion?

We already have this. In IT/professional circles it's called H1-B visas. For agricultural workers it's called the H-2A visa. There is also H-2B and possibly other types of visas. People like @The Real timschochet don't acknowledge these programs because they want us all to believe there are no other avenues to get workers here to do the jobs "Americans won't do."

Not sure where you're located exactly EG but over here in Littleton we didn't get much over night. Still have probably close to a foot from Wednesday night's storm but yesterday/last night we didn't get very much.
