Could be policy side, analyst, lobbying, city planning. Of course he’s under no obligation to disclose information about his employment but there’s plenty of jobs where one could find that goal.

@Roundybout Then go move there dude. Nothing’s stopping you. I lived downtown in a mid size metro for years, I understand what it is you’re looking for. But those places are vanishingly rare. Once I got married I couldn’t justify making my bride park on the street or take the bus at night considering the, erm, increasing vibrancy of the city and neighborhood. We rented a place on the city’s outer limits for a bit before we bought a house in the burbs. Country club is around the corner, shopping complex is five minutes by car or twenty minute walk. Two parks within a five minute walk from my front door, including the local little league field. I have 1650 square feet on 1/3 of an acre and paid $200k for the privilege. Put up a white picket fence last summer to complete the picture. And my kids can play in the yard or even in the street once they’re older like I used to growing up. Life is good brother.

Yeah, an agreement that, if it even existed, clearly went south fairly quickly. Membership in a criminal street gang is already an escalator for sentencing under federal law. No need for martial law, empower local police agencies to utilize regional gang task force members to quickly identify street gang affiliate suspects and round them up. And I have bad news regarding 24/7 surveillance of American citizens.

Indeed. Law enforcement agencies quickly found themselves behind the 8 ball. The Thompson was also a chosen weapon of the IRA in the 20s. Yeah they ain’t light that’s for sure. Polymers and plastics have made weapons much lighter.

Despite all the noise to the contrary there’s really no evidence of sufficient demand for pro football outside of the NFL. And they already have a developmental league that doesn’t cost them a penny.

And actual fun fact about the Thompson advertised above, the postal inspectors used them in the ‘20s. Price was about $200 per, not cheap by 1920s standards, but adjusted for inflation I imagine it’s on par with some high end semi automatics today.

Advertisement for a machine gun you could order by mail. When anybody with a pulse was actually able to get not just a gun, but a gun that is now illegal to manufacture because of how murdery it is. Strangely enough we never read about the mass shootings perpetrated by the folks who got guns sent directly through the mail in the 1920s.

Have you stopped to consider why the formerly walkable neighborhoods suck so hard now? Calling suburbs “soulless” is such an incredible cope I’m not sure where to even start. And of course you’re spandex mafia. Paging @Chef Jim

Have you learned what “per capita” means in the last month or do I really need to open up UCR?

Lol this dude really wants to live in a pod and never drive anywhere. Couldn’t be me.

Changing them is orders of magnitude more pernicious and underhanded. Happens constantly with little fanfare, the Dahl books just happen to be published in mass market constantly, which makes people notice when changes occur. English teachers needing new copies find that their students the next year have different notes. That sort of thing.

The short haired ugly librarians that encourage you to read “banned books” such as To Kill a Mockingbird and The Handmaid’s Tale every year likely fully endorse this:

Deadly force is justified if someone goes for your gun. If you’re going to discharge your firearm, you aim for center mass as it’s the most effective way of stopping the threat.

I’m not sure what you mean

The only controversial bit for me is how long she waited to delete him. Additionally she’s under no obligation to give him medical attention or do anything except make sure he doesn’t try doing dumb ***** again unless she is 100% damn sure that the threat has ended.

Having your views objectively confirmed as 100% correct in real time is a nice feeling that happens to me almost every day. Y’all should try it some time.

Guess DeSantis is over the target. Bombs away!

Lots of dumb folks everywhere. But functionally speaking there are very few books celebrated as “banned books” that are actually banned. Many of them are required reading. “Of Mice and Men” an example from my own education. Whatever librarians might want to say, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to remove various books from grade school libraries, and a removal doesn’t make it “banned.” Stupid terminology. Now what happened to Ross Koen? That was an actual book ban.

You can call them bans all you want but repeating it over and over again will not make it true.

Here’s to another early playoff exit!

If you can find it still printing and at amazon, it’s not banned. And regarding the original topic, this is another example of the woke being more correct than the mainstream.

Since I combined his navy service with "Rhodes scholarship" and "McKinsey" do you think I was referring to some kind of combat expertise?
